Mitsubishi Montero Sport for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Attractive inside and out, comfortable front seats.

Cons

Soft suspension, lethargic transmission, sloppy steering.

What’s new

Mitsubishi raises the Montero Sport's roof to provide more headroom and ups the wattage (from 100 to 140 watts) on the audio system.

Edmunds says

An attractive midsize SUV in need of serious refinement.

2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLS 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

It's been a very solid vehicle. Not a single mechanical issue. It now has 85,000 miles on it. Some complaints I have are that after about an hour of driving I've got to get out and stretch my legs. The seat height is too low. It's definitely not a vehicle designed for a tall person. The roof is also quite low. The side steps aren't really functional so my seat is wearing because I …

Excellent family hauler!

2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS Rwd 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Those who have kids know that newborns need plenty of cargo room. This vehicle has plenty! My wife and I purchased this vehicle anticipating the birth of our first son. We made an excellent choice. The Montero Sport is the perfect family hauler for the following reasons: -Plenty of cargo space -Has the LATCH car seat anchors -Rear hatch opens upward to shelter you from the rain when …

2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I've been a subscriber of this magazine and I have been pretty much dependent on their evaluation when purchasing stuff, until I purchased my Montero Sport. The reason for this purhase - I got a very good deal, cheap considering that it's a limited 4x4 . Being aware that this vehicle is considered poor in their rating, I was surprised when I happened to drive it. It looks like the CR …

A Very Nice SUV

2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLS 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this a few months ago. The SUV is very nice to drive. The engine runs very smoothly for a three year old vehicle. There is enough room for five passengers and enough space for cargo too. the controls are easily accessible.
