Mitsu Montero Sport 2002

The 2002 Montero Sport is a fun vehicle to drive, but the engine is sluggish at times. It seems as thought the 3.0L V6 cannot pull hills. It continually shifts gears searching for the correct gear. Also, there is a constant raddling noise in the front driver and rear passenger wheel. When we took it back to the dealer, they said that it is the normal sound for an SUV. I have had other SUV's and have never heard anything like this.

Bought a 2000 Montero LS with the 1.9% finance available at the time. The Suv has been great. My family has used it for several vacations (roomy) I think that the 3.0 is good enough. I only wish the gas mileage was better.

The Montero Sport LS is a very good vehicle. It has style, good power with just the standard v-6, and seems quite reliable. Of course, with less than 6000 miles on it so far the reliability hasn't really been challenged yet. My major issues so far are only 2: 1. Exterior finish. Quite delicate. I put a small mark on the door just by touching it lightly with my keys. Later I noticed some other marks under the same door, and I've no clue how they got there. 2. Handling. On dry roads it drives like a sportscar, but on a wet road it's scary. Don't know if it's the vechicle itself or maybe the tire design, but I don't like it.

So Far So Good

I bought the vehicle used at a fair deal. I have had no problems thus far. It rides like a car, very comfortable. Power/performance is noticably lacking but I did not purchase the vehicle to tow anything so it is not something I miss. I have yet to use the 4 wheel drive feature for any length of time. All in all it has been good to me.
