Monterro sport
Good dependable car
Buy it
An overall great SUV for the money. recommend the 3.5L engine over the 3.0 L. Smart looking outside and comfortable inside. The gas mileage is not bad, getting 18 MPG overall.
A Great Vehicle
The Montero Sport has been a great SUV.The gas mileage is reasonably and the handling is great. It has great curb appeal.
THE MAX REPORT
THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND COST 105.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND LIGHT HARNESS CORROSSION IN UNDER A YEAR
Everything is great, but
I have really enjoyed this truck, the handling is great, the reliability is awesome, but the rear suspension is weak. Going over some bumps, it feels as if there aren't any schocks in the rear.
Poor reviews are not warranted
We are on our third Montero Sport XLS and have loved every one. We have had no problems running them each 50,000 - 60,000 miles, except the '98 which had a driver's side window defect. We do a lot of highway driving and live in very mountainous/rural Oregon. They have performed well on long road trips and four wheeling on local rough mountain roads and trails. Consumer's Report gave them a bad rap because they drove like a truck. Then Mitsubishi modified the suspension and they got a bad rap for riding like a car! It seems like Mitsubishi cannot do much to please that magazine. The materials inside and out are high quality. It has good fit and finish. This is a rig to think about keeping until the wheels fall off.
AWESOME SUV
I love to drive this truck. I never had a truck that I look foward to driving everyday. Anyone who gets this truck will be happy. The accessories are awesome and affordable.
Great SUV...the only caveat
I love the vehicle...the only caveat is that the automatic transmission really needs another gear (5th) as the engine rpm's run about 3000 at 60 mph...might account for the lower than expected gas mileage. Otherwise, it's a real pleasure to drive...very stable and strong feeling vehicle. A total wiz on snow/ice covered roads!
very cool!!! U should be jealous
It is an awesome truck.... very roomie and drives awesome I can see myself in this truck for years... Finally a truck with no regrets
Sweet
We really enjoy our new Montero Sport. We traded our Nissan Altima for it and now I will never buy a sedan again. It's fun to drive in that it has good power for a big truck and the ride is surprisingly smooth. I would recommend the bigger engine (3.5 L vs. 3.0 L).
Great Montero Sport
What else can I say, I have been very pleased with this vehicle to date.
Great SUV - 2nd one
I had a 2000 Montero Sport LS, had great luck with it. I towed a 17ft fishing boat with no problem. Reliablity was great - not one problem for 3 1/2 years (45000 miles). Decided to opt for the 2003 XLS this time around. The 3.5L motor is a nice improvement and the ride is a little nicer. The dash is the only thing I would change, its a little outdated but functional. All and all a great vehicle.
Will keep for 10 years
Comfortable ride, good cd/cassette stereo, sunroof. It's just a good looking car and not one that everyone has.
SUPER
We are so happy with our vehicle. People who are looking for SUVs (Medium Size) should consider this first. You will be happy!!
unsatisfactory
seems slow and unresponsive, although my other car is a v-6 dodge.Hard to get into.
scotts review
Nice car for reliability, needs work on drivetrain. Braking system needs to be stronger and engine needs more power.
Nice Car, but watch for DEALER TRICKS
We purchased this car under the Mitsubishi 0/0/0 promotion. We were promised zero down. That was true. We were promised zero payments for one year. This was not true. In actuality we only received 6 months no payments. We were promised zero % interest for 1 year. This is not true. We actually received zero financing for five months. We were told that we would be able to refinance this car. Not true. The blue book is so low compared to what is owed no bank will even look twice at it. Be very weary. These deals are only there to help THEM SELL YOU CARS. They don't care about you in the least. TRUST US.
