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!!!!

I test drove many other SUV during the three month period. But the montero was leader of the group with standard 4wheel drive system that come with every montero and you can beat the independent four wheel that grip the road and the montero ride very good off road and on the highway

Frustrated but totally in love

I can't get my Montero up my driveway (about 15 degree incline) in snowy or icy or slushy conditions, and that's why I bought it in the first place! At first, I thought the problem was the inferior all-seasons that it was sold with, so this year, I bought super-rugged Mastercraft Courser C/Ts, and my Mitsu STILL can't climb my drive (yes, we have already our first snow storm). No one can figure out why - someone please help me if you can. I'm disappointed, as the 2002 Dodge Ram climbs my drive with no problem using worn summer manufacturer tires.

Before you buy an SUV you should drive the Mitsubishi Montero Limited. Big dealer discounts make this vehicle a bargain. Lots of style and attitude, plus a responsive drive train.

The interest rate is what drew us into purchasing this. 3.9% APR Simple Interest loan for 72 months! But it is an awesome SUV with off- roading heritage not other makes can claim. It is made in Japan so assembly is tops. Very solid. No annoying creaks from vibrating parts. Very handsome looking.
