84k miles and already having tons of problems. Power steering pump leaking, Valve cover gaskets leaking, Lifters are ticking, Transmission acts strange, and I've already had to replace pretty much every suspension part and now the AC is going. What next?? and I have always maintained it!! I bought it because the price was right and I love the style of the Montero. I should have bought an xterra or 4runner. I will never buy another Mitsubishi again!!!
Not a happy camper

Looks great but that's about it. Needs a larger engine. A slight fish-tail with wind gust. Can't spend that kind of money for this junk.

I'm a junior in high school and i drive a black '02 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. It is my second vehicle. I have always loved the look of these SUVs. I think they have an awesome bold masculine look. I feel really safe when I'm driving it and it's really comfortable. I drive a lot to go see family in other areas of the state for long amounts of time, and I never get a sore back or anything. It's like sitting in the lay z boy at home. The ride is not insanely smooth like a Lexus or a Lincoln, but it's nothing like the Isuzu Rodeo that I test drove, which was so uncomfortable. I felt like I was riding my bike when I drove the Rodeo. Before this, I drove a '00 Civic so the gas milage is total opposite, but it is not bad for an SUV. I love it
If you want more power, get the 3.5L

The Montero Sport is absolutely the best SUV I've owned. I'll admit the financing got me to bite at first, but this vehicle turned out to be one of the best auto-buying decisions I've ever made. Great ride (for a truck), excellent storage, plenty of power, stylish looks, fantastic stereo system, well-equipped options, easy to shift into 4WD, and fun to drive. The rear view mirrors are large and offer clear vision; the blind spot zone on this vehicle is minimal. Compared to other SUVs, the Montero Sport is one of the best unknown values in the SUV world. Let's face it, Mits is not the marketing powerhouse of the industry.

I purchased my car used in 2011. It had exactly 100,000 when I purchased it. It currently has 178,000. Since 2011 I have had to replace the following: Brakes, Rotors, Front hubs, transfer case, transmission, radiator, power steering pump, all hoses and belts, tires, main bolt on crank shaft after it broke off, ac compressor, turn signal switch. Things still broken: 4 wheel drive, horn, and other small issues. I take very good care of my vehicles. I do all the regular maintenance. This car has cost me right at $10,000 in repairs not including regular maintenance. This has been nothing but trouble for me.
