READ if you wanna know if this is ok
This is my first Mitsubishi product. I love it. Period. Mitsu is infamous for their garbage GALANT and shoddy ECLIPSE. Never had a tipsy moment (read Car and Driver not Consumer Report). The luxury appointments are good. If you like the style...need a 4 wheeler that can ride like a car.....and don't wanna blow your cash on depreciating assets....get this car. I will have this vehicle for countless miles....it's RELIABLE and made 100% in JAPAN - which for Mitsu is a good thing.
Good Overall Value
We originally were planning on purchasing a Suburban or Expedition. For thoroughness we decided to test drive a Montero. The refined styling, smooth performance and excellent visibility were instantly apparent. We have been pleased with our purchase. The Montero handles well in the ice/snow, has adequate power to get up to the Mountains for skiing and has good cargo capacity without being overly bulky like a Suburban. This vehicle feels like a Toyota Landcruiser for $25K less.
Love my Montero
When we were looking for a family vehicle we were testing Minivans and had decided to get a Honda however we fell in love with the Montero. I feel that this SUV rides more like a car than other SUV's we've tested ie: the Pilot, CR-V and Endeavor. If you have older kids this was a better fit. There is lots of room in the front and second seat. The third row seat meant for two additional passengers is really poorly designed, my ten year old has a hard time. It is really comfortable when we travel with the family. There is plenty of room for bags and luggage. Overall we really love this SUV.
Mitsubishi Monterto 2003
The 2003 Mitsubishi Montero drives well. My wife finds the vehicle very easy to drive and park. I particularly like its turning radius, it should be a police chase car. I'm also very impressed with torque the engine puts out, but it does come at a price for fuel. The vehicle is still relatively new and I hope I can get better mileage on a tank of gas. The seats for the 6th and 7th passengers at the back are relatively cramped for an adult but fine for my 7 and 10 year olds and their friends.The sunroof is large, which is great in the summer time.
Just Bought
I bought my Montero Sport in 7/04. The ONLY thing that I don't like is the braking. Whenever I brake from a fairly fast rate of speed the brakes vibrate. Does anybody else have that problem?
