2001 Montero LTD

Next to my old 1969 Porsche 911, and for obviously different reasons, the Montero LTD is maybe the nicest car I've owned. That comparison includes 3 Toyota 4-Runners - great cars but lacking the creature comforts of the Montero. Apart from a few factory recalls and a failed O2 sensor in the emissions system (ouch) this has run flawlessly for 39,000 miles and carried me comfortably all over south and central Texas where I drive in connection with my job. I have no complaints, a great car. Mitsubishi's Diamond Advantage program is the best, my quasi-lease runs out in February 05 and I am keeping this vehicle, just love it.

After 36k miles and 1.5 years of ownership, all I can say is that I am glad I chose the Montero. The dealer did replace the moulding on the driver's side passenger door (the driver's door was pinching the moulding). The brakes have a tendancy to "glaze" after 6k miles. When the brakes are clean, this thing can stop like it ran over super glue. An inherent problem with every Monty (new body) is that there is a whirle/rattle sound from under the car when you are stopped and the car is in park. The dealer thought it was a rock guard. It turns out that it was some pulley tension mechanism in the engine that they are going to replace.

The ride is so luxurious almost non-SUV like. The quality of material used is superior to all other vehicles in it's class. For the price you will be happier than the Acura, Lexus RL300 and by all means happier than pathfinder, 4runner, explorer.... Test drive one for yourself and see the difference. I bought it on great reviews. Countries like Australia and China use this as their 'offroad' vehicle of choice.

We bought a Montero Limited 4 wheel drive in '01 and besides the tire and brake wear we've been very pleased with the overall performance. I was shocked to read the other reviews and plan to keep a close eye on everything mentioned. Also, I did have a slight power problem but after some good fuel treatment it seems to have gone away.
