Mitsubishi Montero for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

High-quality interior materials, sharp cabin design, large cargo capacity, excellent off-road capability.

Cons

Serious lack of power compared to rivals, mediocre on-road handling, cramped third-row seat.

What’s new

The Montero gets a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and a revised gauge cluster. The base XLS model is history, leaving the Limited as the sole trim level for 2004. Rear air conditioning, automatic climate control and dual power seats are now standard.

Edmunds says

An old-school sport-ute that excels off-road, but when it comes to overall performance and passenger-carrying ability, it can't match its more modern rivals.

2 Time Montero Owner, 12/11/2004

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

The things that keeps me from selling my montero with fuel prices on the rise is that it is awesome to drive, handles great, great driving visibility which makes me feel a lot safer driving in different types of conditions, comfortable driving on freeway or on a dirt road, and is as easy to park as a car. I'm not afraid to be a little rough on my montero because I know …

3rd Montero

Vicvizual, 05/26/2008

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

Why is this my third Montero ?? I've been around many vehicles and cannot find a better bang for my bucks, and great quality and reliability are by far its greatest features. I have never had to worry about being stranded or inconvenienced with a breakdown. Too many people have never had the experience to own a "worry-free" vehicle like this one. Many have come to believe that …

Mountain Climber

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

My wife and I call this the Mountain Climber. It's ability to grip the road in all conditions (snow, sleet, rain, mud) is amazing. I really wish they would make a 2010 version. Compared w/ all other SUV's, this is the hidden diamond (get it?). 3 rows of seating, HUGE storage, and awesome cabin feel.

Great all around vehicle!

Shirley Price, 01/02/2006

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

Tired of being pelted with cigarettes, pushed around by wind, and being srayed with garbage truck 'stuff' I traded in my 2004 Toyota MR2 Spider for a Mitsubishi Montero Limited. The Limited has great pick up, a luxury car ride, and every creature comfort. I no longer fear aggressive / distraced drivers, bad weather, not so safe neighborhoods, or buying too many groceries. Its gas mileage …
