Purchased my Montero new 13 years ago - have 210,000 miles on it now and have driven it all over the western states from New Mexico and Colorado to Canada and Alaska and I love this SUV. There is not another vehicle that can get to all the rivers that I like to fish. And I know, I own an auto repair business and have looked for a vehicle to replace this one and can't find it. My wife drives a '99 Land Cruiser that we like, but it isn't as good at getting into the remote country. Have had normal problems with parts (antenna, timing belt, etc.) but the entire drive train is original and still working great. LS model with 3.0 is underpowered but SR with 3.5 DOHC provides decent power.

I've only owned my 95 Montero for a year and have been quite satisfied. I really appreciated the roomy interior, the fold up rear seats, and the low-end torque. It climbed steep muddy hills like crazy. It was bit top heavy so you didn't want to get too sideways with it but it definitely earned its keep off-road. I put on a new timing belt, new alternator (fouled from leaking oil, I think), fixed the oil leaks at the cam seal and put on some beautiful 31x10.5 Bighorns. Very nice, looked sharp, and did what I asked it to do. Just sold it this last week because of fuel prices. Sorry to see the 14-15 mpg in town. 18-19 on the highway was okay. At $4/gal. it was tough to justify.

I love this truck. I have always liked Monteros, but have never really found one to call my own. This all changed August 16th of this year when I took delivery of "Sam" my Montero. It is a great truck. I love the looks, power, and overall comfort. I was immediatly sold by the view of traffic affored by the high stance. It is very reliable and extremly comfortable. I live in the mountains and I can assure you that these trucks will go just about anywhere (that's if you have the nerve). I love the looks. My truck is a 1995 SR dressed in Sable Black with Warms Springs Silver trim. With chrome rims, a brush guard, and loads of other cool features it really turns heads. Again this is a very nice truck!

Ok, I am the 2nd owner of this Monty. Bought it with 40k on it and now have about 150k! It's been an awesome and reliable truck! It's got a lot of character both with regards to interior and exterior. Its an awesome offroad truck and handles well in the snow. Gas mileage is decent for a truck of its size but its no hybrid! 15/18 mpg. I've driven this truck since 01 and will likely continue until it dies!

Ok, i bought this truck in 2001 with 40K on it. I'm the 2nd owner of this truck and will probably drive until planet earth suffers the heat death! I now have about 150K on her and its been a reliable truck, only the typical maintenance (timing belt, brakes, alternator etc.). I have of course taken care of this truck, and the owner before me clearly did as well, so that has a lot do with while its still running. It seems from looking at these reviews that people have generally had good luck with monteros, but there will always be someone who had a bad experience. The montero is a real SUV capable of doing serious off roading and its got a nice classic truck look. I love it! MPG 15/19

This car was bought as a leftover demo with 2000 miles on it. It now has over 240,000 trouble free miles. Keeping it away from the dealer has been the key. It has only needed tires, fluids, one battery and brakes all of which I have done myself. After 220,000 miles, I got a bolt-on hitch and started towing with it with no problem. It is still my everyday driver and has never let me down.
Utility as well Fun to drive

I'll keep it until it stops running!

I bought my Montero used. It had one owner prior to myself and that was a lease vehicle. I have burned the highway completely up in this vehicle hauling my sons to every soccer tournament imaginable up and down the east coast. I love this vehicle. The only drawback to owning this vehicle is the high cost for insurance and maintenance. Repairs to a Monty are expensive mainly due to the high cost for parts and the design features which make repairs labor intensive. All in all, I will drive this vehicle until it won't drive anymore because I love it that much.
Best car I've ever owned

I bought this truck when it was one year old with 20,000 miles on it from Enterprise Car Sales. In the 9 years I have had it, it has proven to be the most reliable car I have ever owned (better than a Toyota, Honda, and Acura). Only minor problems. You expect to replace some of the accessories (belts, pullies, alternator, ets) eventually. I now have 275,000 miles on it, and still my daily drive to work car and weekend have fun in car. I am now getting concerned about the high mileage, and am looking to buy another Montero, probably a slightly newer SR with low mileage. This truck is smaller on the outside (except for height) and gets better gas mileage than my wife's Acura Legend.
Solid Monte.

Have had vehicle for 3 1/2 years since 47,704 miles and currently has 103,486 miles. Not only have we had no major problems but the vehicle has seen very little regular maintenance outside of oil changes and I'm not neurotic about every changing it every 3000 miles. Only repair has been a passenger side window regulator. Has been difficult keepig factory chrome rims in balance.

Missy the Mitsubishi has been a great car for me. I wanted it because I needed a vehicle that would work for me both as a personal vehicle and a flower shop delivery vehicle. It has gone a many camping trips and to the mountains, and all over the Denver metro area. It has done many more floral deliveries over the last couple of years as it has become far more business than delivery. She's been great, but then I have an expensive meticulous mechanic too.

I have been extremely happy with this vehicle. I purchased it with 52,000 miles. It now has 208,000 miles. In that time, aside from regular maintenance, I have spent rougly $450.00. I have had no mechanical or electrical problems. I have yet to replace a fuse. I have used it heavily off road in the coal mines and back woods of the south. It has gotten me out of situations that I was convinced were impossible to escape. This model is truly one of the last great SUVs. It has classic styling and a very functional interior. It does ride rough but it is a truck and that functionality and durability is what I wanted when I purchased it.
So far so good

So far it's OK. I love the ride, it's not too shabby. It seems to run well, it has 106,000 miles on it, but I haven't had it long so I have my fingers crossed. In the past I have had great luck with Mazda and Nissan and am hoping for the same with this. I once had a Jeep Cherokee, much to my dismay. I am really enjoying my Montero's tall feel and head space. The pickup is slow, but it gets there. I like the upright firm seating, the moonroof / slider, compass, 3rd seat and the looks.
Living with the Monty for 70k

We got the Monty with 80k miles and now have just passed 150k. It is a well made, good performing vehicle for mountain areas. If you put the superwinch manual hubs on, and use synthetic oil it will get 20 mpg on the highway doing 70 while running the air, over and over again. With good tires, it is very stable and well mannered in the snow, no big surprises, with good visibility. Remember to change the timing belt, and check the engine oil level. This is our second monty, and both used oil at about 1 qt. every 1.5k miles, but do not smoke, I suspect it is normal. A little long for serious off roading, but it will get you just about anywhere you need to go.
Never failed me.

Bought my 95 Montero with 50,000 miles on it and knew from the start it was a good vehicle. I already had a 90 model (and still do). I drive the 90 to work each day save the 95 for the weekends. Over the past 10 years the only expense has been a timing belt and plugs. I now have 151,000 miles and runs great.
Won't Buy another Mitsubishi VEH again!

It was a fun vehicle to drive. 1 month after I took ownership, in the garage for fuel regulator $550.00. I haven't even owned the veh a year and it is back in the garage for: crankshaft pulley. Garage attempted to take bolt of and it snapped at the head. Mitsubishi is quoting me $4000.00 for a new Crankshaft because they won't just replace the crankshaft. they have to replace everything they touch why removing the crankshaft. Good-bye Mitsubishi for good.

List of things that have gone wrong. Flywheel cracked 32K, AC compressor 60K, Engine Cylinder head after timing chain broke - 80k, Heater Core 81k, Electric seat motor 90K, Electric Radio Ant. 93K, Needs Full brake job every 12k miles. Every single system and part of this vehicle is disposable. This is the history I've had after following the maint. program to the letter. I love their new ads - they have to give their cars away - no money down, no interest and no payments for a year - Soon they will paying us to take their JUNK!!!!!!

I purchase my Monty back in 98 because the 87 model was to small for another kid on the way. Alway reliable. People that I meet always thinks It's a newer model. I will drive until I can't anymore.

The 1995 Mitsubishi Montero SR that I bought in June of 1996, as a left-over, has proven to be the best vehicle I have ever owned. 202,000 miles into my experience with this car has shown me that it is capable of handling any driving conition that I have encountered. In my search for a replacement, I am left wanting. No other current model of any brand has felt as sturdy, on center and in control as this Montero. This car does nothing but what I ask of it and has maintained its looks throughout. Good, solid, safe, reliable and extremely under-rated, this vehicle has set the standard for its class.
Unbelievibly reliable

This is my second Montero. I had a 1990 previously. Both of these cars have been incredibly reliable, especially for a 4wd. I sold the 1990 and nothing had ever broken. I have 130k miles on the 1995 and it runs like new. It is easy to park and is fun to drive because of the visibility. Once this one dies I will run not walk to my dealer to buy another Montero. ps. If you buy an SR beware of the timing belt. It is much longer than the timing belt in the LS and needs to be changed more frequently.
It last forever

Purchased new after a Chevrolet dealer gave us the run around, my wife was instantly smitten with the Montero SR. This is a true 4x4 and should not be confused with a Tahoe or even a Jeep as it has locable differentials and true grunt.Disappointments have been few,AC compressor stopped at 38000 miles (no warranty) and cost $1200.00.available. The timing belt replacement at 70,000 cost $1200.00 from the dealer! This was a rip off. The unit has leather interior, however this is top surface only and the vinyl on the drivers side is worn out and was worn out before 50K.

I've had this SUV for one year. It currently has 120k miles. After fixing the water pump, the engine has worked great. I love the roominess, compass, four-wheel drive, height, reliable engine, two extra seats in the back. One time I took ten people from Harlingen, Texas to Monterrey, Mexico. It was packed, but we made it. One main thing I don't like is the rough ride.
It just won’t die!

28 years old and still going strong at 208,000 miles. Of course it was very well maintained, still runs like new. It is a SR and I just changed the roof due to sunroof leak; this was anticipated and I had purchased one 10 years ago for such an event. An expense like that can only be justified by love, love for this vehicle. Now I take it out of the garage for an occasional Sunday drive enjoying the ride. I can go a couple of years without seeing another one on the road.

After 100k she's still going strong. Been overall pleased, but never passionate about it. Still tight as a drum, but getting small with 3 growing kids and their gear. Nice design, though the new ones look kind of effeminate.
