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 it can take it. Very cold A/C, lots of headroom, turns and handles like a car, high ground clearance. Downfalls are that the 3rd row seats are not intended for adults, is hard to wash, and carpet length is hard to vacuum. The good things still outweigh the bad. It is an awesome driving suv.

3rd Montero

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 changing an alternator, starter, or similar unit is a common maintenance procedure (Most domestic designed vehicles). This is not so with a well-engineered such as Mitsubishi's Montero. Even with delayed maintenance, the Monteros I have owned performed like new until the day I traded them in.

Mountain Climber

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.

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 isn't great, but I knew this before purchase. My cost for insurance was a surprise, I guess the rate assumes if I were to hit something it will be flattened. Maybe that's why I like her so much; the Montero is a great mixture of luxury, beauty and brawn.

For the money I don't think there is any Luxury Sport Utility that matches the Montero feature for feature. The ride and handling of this beautiful SUV is wonderful A+A+

Mitsu rocks

This is my second Montero - the first I traded after 120000 miles in 2 years - lots of driving and nevr missed a beat. The 3.8 has improved the power enough that when you need it it is there. I commute 45 miles each way daily and nevr get tired of the Mitsu - this vehicle is a hidden gem. The 3rd row seat we only use occasionaly and it is tight but for the kids they are fine. The turning radius is great - a lot easier to park than the domestic bohemouths like the Tahoe. If you looking for a compact well built, occasional 7 passenger that will fit easily anywhere - the mitsu has it !! Great Vehicle - compleely underrated by most. Will continue to buy.

I read reviews that the Montero lacked power. Well, I am a senior citizen who no longer has to drive every vehicle like it is a Porsche. This vehicle has enough power for me. However, during mountain driving, the 5 speed auto will down shift to lower gears and it is a bit sluggish. Gas mileage is not that great, but it is an SUV and none of them get good gas mileage. The third row seat is not intended for adults to get in and out; it is for children or very flexible adults.

what it lacks in fuel economy it makes up for in looks, handling (both on & off road), comfort & reliability. I travel a lot of dirt "roads" & have used the 4 wheel drive a good bit & trust it fully.

Montero Delivers

This rig has been a blast to drive. You won't find a bigger sunroof. Great warranty. Montero's fit in the garage; yet roomier than most other bigger models that can't. Sleek, cool, sophisticated dash. Great visiblity. Awesome stereo and handling. Terrific value for the money. Distincitve styling. Doesn't look like every other SUV on the road
