Good deal...except for...
4wd, torque and stability are superb. Ride comfort...the seats are better than you'll find in most luxury vehicles. Unless you have a 3.5l engine, you'll find the Montero Sport is severely underpowered. I have had numerous nagging electrical problems: -replaced headlamps (bulbs) 6 times -replaced right headlamp -replaced front parkign lamps -replaced all brake lamps -replaced taillamps -4wd switch malfunctioned, replaced -interior lighting shorted, repaired -antenna needed replacing I have had to replace brake pads more often than I would like. The chrome grille began to peel, but my dealer replaced it for free.
Good SUV+
I definitely recommend this car to anyone my baby has 112,000 still going strong, the only bad thing is the space if you are big it's not very spacious, this is the best SUV for trips and snow
great ride
fun reliable driving machine. getting decent milage
Make sure you have Triple AAA!
We bought this car used a little over a year ago. It is a 2001. We drove it very little at first, but since August we have driven it everyday locally. Since August, we have had it towed three times and drove it limping into the garage two times. I have spent about $1500 in repairs. The worst thing is driving it with the anticipation of when will it go out again. The car had about 120,000 miles on it when we bought it. We have put about 11,000 miles on it this year (which is a normal average). Very scary driving knowing you will be stuck at one point or another.
Disappointed
I must say after owning a Honda and a Toyota the quality of the Mitsubishi has been really disappointing. I had the timing belt, front main leak, rear main leak, O2 sensor and Transmission all fail under 65000 miles. I feel that Mitsubishi is a poor product. They suffer from poor customer service, and the book value has a horrible, horrible return when you go to sell it. So I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants longevity.
