Used 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Consumer Reviews
Great truck
This is a well-built, powerful, comfortable vehicle. It has a huge cargo area, especially with the seats folded. It is a very comfortable highway cruiser yet remains very capable off road. It gets gets good mileage for a 2 ton truck.
Do your home work on this one
I love my truck but there is one glaring fault. 26K NEW and the resell value has deminished very quickly. Unless you plan on keeping the vehicle for 5 years or for its life you will be upside down in what you owe and what it is worth in six seconds flat even with a reasonable down payment. All in all i enjoy the vehicle but dont feel comfortable with the decision because of the resell value. Do your home work and make sure you will be keeping this for the long haul.

So far so good.
This is pretty good SUV. I was told it would be underpowered but that is not the case. I am very happy with the performance. It could be more comfortable on long trips but its not bad. The 60 months no interest was the clincher and I am very happy with my decision so far.
Bad News
The day after i bought the vehicle, it started to make a screatching noise and the front passenger seat began to rattle. i took the vehicle to the service dept and they did not know what was wrong with it. Two engineers from Mits had to respond to the dealership to investigate. The dealer/service dept recently called me and said they need to replace my transmission but the service rep did not sound convincing that was indeed the problem. as far as the seat goes, they replaced the seat rail with a new one and it still is making the noise. I will never buy a Mitsubishi again...
Good, just not great
I leased a LTD model in Feb. and so far so good. I think it's a solid SUV, but could use an overhaul/upgrade in a few areas, like interior design and center console. I think the engine/transmission are just fine, no complaints there. On the exterior I think it's one of the best-looking SUV's out there.
