Cool & Reliable, but a bit rough.
This is my fourth car, I used to own a Mountaineer. See comments below. All in all I'd recommend it to anyone who won't get hung up on the interior shortcomings or worse-than-average handling. (Or if you want to win an off- road rally.)
BEST VALUE
I've owned many SUV's: Nissan, Toyota, GMC, Isuzu then this one. It's been a great vehicle for me as a single mom offering value, room (7-passenger seating), comfort and excellent reliability. At 160K miles (now remarried) my husband wanted me in something newer, but I would have been glad to keep driving it until it just fell apart. The paint still shines, the interior has held up well considering all that my children put it through. Maintain it and it will love you back. BTW, I didn't trade it in, I couldn't let go and I'm not one to get emotional about vehicles.
great ride
I have both a Montero (Endeavor model) and a Suburban. Love my Montero and it's 3 years older than the Chevy. Hope to keep it for at least 5 more years. Switched Yokos. to Michelins and the turning improved greatly. Love the leather interior and heated seats. Cup holder is ridiculous, but I LOVE this car. As good as or better than my Honda Accord as far as reliability.
Three Diamonds - still in the rough!
Desgined in Australia for the outback, the Montero has come a long way. The Japanese haven't learned how to make big vehicles. This is my second Montero in 11 years. The first one lasted 10 years, and my friend still drives it. For the price of this SUV, I admit that there are other SUVs that are better in look, fit and feel. But, I do think the Montero can outlast them with basic maintenance.
Former Montero
I had just bought the Montero with the endeavor package from a used dealer to take up to see my fiance for our wedding. While I was driving it around on the freeway I was stuck in the normal Va beach traffic at an exit ramp when a big rig (18 wheeler) came down the hill and ran straight into me from the back. If I was in a smaller vehicle I wouldn't be here saying how wonderful this vehicle is! It is totaled to say the least but I survived with only some stitches and staples. I think this is a great vehicle and I'd definitely want another!
