First and Probably Last
Had the Montero for almost 1 1/2 years & keep having problems with it. While very comfortable, we have been very disappointed with the performance. It only has 49K miles on it & we've already had to have the brakes worked on twice (still not fixed) & just spent $440 getting the spark plug wires changed out. According to the service lady at the dealership, Mitsubishi is very picky about the parts that it can use and that it's more expensive to fix anything on them. I have a '98 Nissan that I've never had to have a thing done to it, so extremely disappointed that we put this much money into it to get the quality that we got.
Very Nice True Off-Road Vehicle
No problem at all with stability or power issues. As nice as it looks, this is a real off-road vehicle, not an enlarged 'autobahn' sportscar like the X5. The steering and braking systems are a true pleasure to use, along with the Sportronic gear shifter. The field- of-view is outstanding. Unbelievably roomy for passengers in back(forget that 3rd row seat, use the space for lots of gear). Fog lights and big windows work great in low visiblity conditions.

Test drive
I just got the Limited for the test drive. I like the way the vehicle looks, but I expected the interior quality to be a little bit better, especially the plastics and the switches on the front doors. I would prefer the spare tire to be stored somewhere else, because it makes the vehicle look a bit too long. The driving was good, acceleration and handling was sufficient. For me this vehicle is a little to big, but at the other hand the gas milage is comparable to my Grand Cherokee with I6 engine.
Greatest SUV
I live in Dubai, seconds away from great wadi's, desert Dunes and other fantastic off road scenario's. Self and friends frequently take our motors through the ropes in the desert. Without doubt the most capable car is mine (called a Pajero in this neck of the woods) versus Wranglers, Cherokee's, land cruisers and Patrols. I love it. Only issues would be some of the exterior frame is a little flimsey (My second trip in the car saw it limping home with a tailgate hanging off and a decapitated front fender. I love the car
simply the best
I never thought this SUV was this great, but this car is simply the best. I had eclipse previously, and I didn't have any problem with the car, so I decided to go with mitsu one more time. before buying this suv, I test drove 2003 toyo 4 runner, 2003 nissan pathfinder, and none of them can really match with montero. Engine is powerful enough, and I am not gonna race with this car, so I don't need more power. I love everything about this car.
