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.

IN THE PAST I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL GM VEHICLES. THIS IS THE FIRST MISTSUBISHI. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DRIVE AND RIDE. A BIG SUV WITHOUT THE THE OVERWHELMING FEEL. THIS IS A FUN, FUN DRIVE. PLENTY OF ROOM AND COMFORT. CAN I SAY MORE?

I purchased my 04 Montero with about 10K miles on it. It now has 191,000 and still going strong. I have been very strict with the oil changes - every 5k and most of the other suggested maintenance. The vehicle has never left me stranded. It is excellent off road with great clearance and easily goes where other mid-size utes won't dare. The highway ride is good too and it does a decent job towing my camper. Very comfortable seats except 3rd row is for small kids only. I've had to replace the catalytic converter twice very $$$ and had the manifolds off both sides of the engine develop heat cracks which had to be repaired - other wise no issues. Trans, 4WD and motor no issues at all.

My new Montero is a very well refined vehicle. Watch out if you buy at Skyline Mitsubishi, they play games with numbers in a big way. Too bad there isn't a John Elway Mitsubishi in North Metro Denver.

I love my new Montero. It is a pleasure to drive, has lots of room and has a very refined interior. The drive train is where the real fun starts. The engine and transmission work well together for good acceleration and a quite but powerful driving experience.

The 2003 Mitsubishi Montero is an exciting SUV both in style and performance. The interior componants are well placed and luxurious. They are comparable to the high end auto makers (Lexus, Infinity, Cadillac, etc.) I tend to disagree with the perception that the performance of the truck is limited by the size of the engine. It works for me. Good pick up and stays on the road.
It feels good.

This is the first car-truck that I have liked to drive since I had my 57 Chev Belair. It does have style.It feels safe to drive. It's a little hard on the gas. It's nice to know that I can hop in it & take off anywhare, & not worry about it breaking down.It's fun.It also holds a lot of fishing equipment, grandkids, dogs, and other cargo.

This is my 4th Montero - each traded at 100000-125000 miles. Each has been extremely reliable, particularly off road. Highway ride is smooth although this new one seems louder than my previous '98. With the 3rd seat out the rear is a cavern. The second seat is comfortable even on long trips. Even with the new larger engine it still seems a bit underpowered off the line but cruises effortlesly on the turnpikes. The 2 wheel/4 wheel/all wheel drive system is the best anywhere that I have experienced. It has the feel, fit and finish of a LandCruiser for a lot less money. This is a very underrated vehicle in the US.
We like it

It is a fun, sporty car to drive. Very comfortable with lots of luggage space. The only thing I don't like is that the back seat is not easy to put flat. It has alot of little storage places, and shopping bags have a holder so that they don't dump all over the back of the car. Interior is very nice. In fact, it is so nice that we haven't allowed the dogs in yet, and they are the reason we bought an SUV.
