reliable
we bought this car new in late 96 we do not go off-road much but it does the job well when needed it has been very reliable we do all scheduled maintance it is not comfortable for long trips we had twins in college and this car really held a lot of stuff, especially with a luggage carrier on top the jump seats are more of a nuisance in that it robs the rear of space but if you have small kids, they would be fine the mileage is not great - around 16mpg around town
Amazing
This car i have drove for 1 year now... I am now 2nd owner of the car... first owner was my mom ;) It's really great... and of course safe ;)

Big Bang for the Buck !!!!
We use this vehicle everyday. 160,000 miles and still going strong. 7psg seating for when you need it. Tows my boat and trailer perfect.
Thinking of a 2nd
I bought this 97 model in early 1998. I have over 170,000 miles on her and she still accelerates briskly and is fun to drive. I am considering purchasing a 2000 model with the squared off wheelwells as this is the only version I find to be more appealing than my own. I am only considering selling it because at some point a majot part has to break... doesn't it? I have had no major problems and have been pleasantly surprised to be getting Honda mileage from a Mitsubishi. I have a long torso and have a difficult time finding an SUV with headroom. The Montero has bags of headroom. I am very happy to be looking for a 2nd Monetero.
