Not Just For The Dogs
After looking to replace my Ford Explorer with another I just wasn't sold. Having three large dogs was a consideration as was having to drive clients. Unlike my previous SUVs I can fold down the seats to create the dog barrier; no more of those bulky fences, and the dogs can be closer to front seat passengers. The interior is classy and has drawn many a compliment, even from a pal who'd recently purchased the Benz SUV. Handles like a dream in rain and snow; I ski so it's been put to the test. We haul our motorcycle trailer with it and it doesn't slow us down a bit. Oh, did I mention the extra large sunroof...
Still great after 100,000 miles
It's been five years and and 105,000 miles and I still love my '03 Montero LTD. If they still sold new ones in the US, I'd be buying another. But, I'll gladly hold on to this one for another 100,000 miles or so! I'm very impressed by this vehicle.
DO'S AND DON'TS
This is my first full size Montero, two others before were sports. This vehicle is all around a nicer vehicle with better quality materials used in it. I have the 2003 and I can see it is clear that many poeople reviewing this car as Mitsubishi sales people. I guess you can't weed them out. Nice car but not the right one for me. Mitsubishi was also horrible to deal with through the whole. Had no care that I already had two previous. Never again will I deal with them.
More than esctatic
After testing about 10 SUVs (and no worthy candidates for purchase in sight), I was immediately hooked on the Montero Limited. After owning it for 5 months, I love it even more than the day I drove it off the lot! It drives as smooth and fun as it looks, and is also as tough and well engineered as it looks (tested this in a serious collision - I walked away without a scratch thanks to the excellent impact absorbtion design). I have no idea why reviews of this vehicle are poor. I already plan, in 12 years, to trade this one in for whatever Montero Limited exists at that time. I only hope the price is as good then as it is now!!!!
Unique, Fun SUV
This is my 3rd Montero. Also owned an 89 and a 94. Quality and Confort are great. New larger 3.7 litre engine is a big improvement. This is a HEAVY vehicle you feel safe in. Had it for about 4 weeks - and i'm not disappointed. A quality built and unique looking SUV.
