my first SUV
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.
Mitsubishi-Take a hint from Toyota
Mitsubishi needs to get with the game. The horsepower is pretty sad. And there is no gas mileage advantage having the V6 3.0. A V8 Toyota Tundra gets the same gas mileage as I do. Also, the brakes squeel and the Mitsubish dealership says its normal. I like the car overal but they definately need some improvements.

Great Car
My Montero Sport has been a really great car, I really think that they could have done some wonderfull things with this shape in a more powerfull engine option than the 3.5L v6 and also with more luxurious appointments and general interiour finish.
Content with my Montero Sport LS
Bought my Montero Sport LS a year ago and I have been very please with it. I have about 10500 miles on the V6 auto, 4dr. 2WD, LS. I only changed the oil every 3000 miles. NO problem what so ever has accurred. I was attracted to the vehicle based on the style, room inside and the test drive. I normally keep my vehicle for about 10 to 14 years. I have a 1990 Chev. Silveroda, V6 with 151200 miles on it and it still runs great.
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...
