After almost 6 yrs of owning it, I can't get rid of it I LOVE my car! This car grows on you, very faithful and it just looks prettier and prettier when it gets old! Hmm ! Unfortunate that it is NOT build anymore, I think I would buy myself a 2nd one. The others Endeavour and Outlander are just not the same never will be, it's another car.

Outstanding 4WD! My 4th one, will keep this one until the wheels fall off. Unbelieveably reliable and extremely low maintenance costs to date. Has had much off road use and almost all rural highway miles. The newer SUVs are much more energy efficient and comfy, but this is one tough, reliable vehicle. Maybe that is why they are so popular at Ft. Bragg and Ft. Lewis army ranger bases. I have never had a wheel alignment as one has never been needed, even though I drive over logs and rough terrain on my property and on local BLM fishing holes. I am a stickler about doing maintenance ahead of schedule, such as fluids. Back seats fold flat for my 6 foot carcas to sleep when out with the bears.

I require a 4WD

I live in serious boonies in the northwest and need a real 4WD vehicle. I have had 3 XLS Sports, sold them all at 60,000 miles. Never had a single problem with any one and have been impressed by the 4WD capability coupled with decent (22 mpg Highway) mileage. The seats are a little short, stopping way before my knees, and it needs side bolsters for where I go. I wish the engine had a different drive belt. It rides rough, but it is tough! I cannot figure out why the resale value has been so low on these models. This is a much better off-road vehicle than my Yukon XL.

A solid off and on road vehicle. Bought it primarily for off road and touring. Ample seating and cargo. Take it to San Gabriel OHV, CA and Hungry Valley SVRA, CA (Gorman), up Los Angeles National Forest roads when it snows. Have taken it from Palm Springs to Joshua Tree N Park via the Berdoo Trail. It's a XLS A4WD and the rest. Majestically conquers terrain, climbs effortlessly, fords above knee deep, traverses narrow passes, handles well over snow and ice, amply protected underbelly and axles over boulders especially submerged ones, coasts effortlessly @ 85 mph on freeways and gives 18 mpg combined. Add to it killer looks. The last Mits with a body on frame construction.

I read almost every review on edmunds before buying my montero sport. It is the best car i ever bought. Great engine,seating position, and FUEL ECONOMY!!! i get almost 23mpg. The car is more trucklike than most SUV's, but that is what i love about it. If i wanted a carlike drive, i would have bought a car.

I had a 98 Montero, now it has over 180000 miles on it and still going strong, never any major trouble just routine maintenance. I put a lot of miles on my vehicle every year, averaging 30000 miles. I am so impressed with the durability and reliability of my Mitsubishi, I bought another Montero (2003 4WD XLS) last month. I highly recommedend the Montero to anyone.

This is a good, reliable, and well built SUV. For the price is can't be matched. For a city SUV or for light labor it is a great choice. Fuel economy is the same as all SUVs, they use more fuel. The interior is nice, but could be a little more modern and stylish. Overall I give this a great buy status due to the price and quality of the build which will be years of dependability.

My wife hasn't found anything she didn't like about the car yet. I liked the body style better than the other SUV's except Toyota but wasn't going to give the 6000 dollars more for a Toyota with less warranty.

I bought my SUV in November 2002, but it is a 2003 LS and it is fun to drive and the ride is outstanding. I enjoy the height of the vehicle over other vehicles that I pass on the freeway. I have not had any probelms out of my vehicle. I have a teenage child and she loves to drive it and her friends love to ride in it.

montero sport-cheap but agressive

fun to drive especially when offroading. ride quality is best when loaded with cargo. montero sport is a truck so there's no sense comparing it with carbased suvs. ride quality is much better compared with our 2002 honda crv. vehicle size is not good for family use but excellent for sport or personal use. this vehicle is cheaper to buy with excellent reliability so test drive for yourself first before aggreeing to those reports in the magazines.

THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY "SKIPPY" AND THE ACCELERATION IS LETHARGIC, BUT WHEN UP TO 4TH AND AT CRUISIUNG SPEED IT IS A SMOOTH RIDE.

I haven't had the suv for too long. I do however love to drive it. I actually feel safer than in my smaller car. I think the suv rides smooth, but I have seen better gas mileage. I think the dash needs a bit of updating. Other than that I am quite happy with the vehicle

I think this car is good for someone away at school because you can fit all youre stuff and a friend, but i have a baby not a friend and we are always on are way somewhere and usuall running late. This car is slow there is no kick at all, you cant have someone in the back seat anf fold down the other seat to fit the dog in the back cause its one peice. The inside is very narrow .

I like my Mitsubishi Montero Sport and did not really expect to get the gas mileage as rated. My first trip to Upstate NY from South Carolina I only got only 16 mpg. The vehicle is great and I like it, but what in the world am I supposed to do for my free oil changes for the first 45,000 miles as well as warranty service when the closest dealer is 35 miles away. Had I had any inclination of this, I would have bought another brand. My local dealer closed 5 months after my purchase. Mitsubishi USA's resoponse is, there is really nothing they can do.
