So far, so great
The Pilot, Expedition Ltd, Sequoia and Lexus LX were our first choices. The Mitsubishi wasn't even a consideration...until we tried it. It looks great inside and out. It drives wonderfully on street and highway (have not taken it offorading where it has received most of its accolades from 4x4 magazines and intl. races). It handles well: acceleration, cornering, braking. Gas mileage is avg (14city/19hwy). Price is low. If you are looking for a mid to large luxury SUV this is worth at least a test drive. Price is very negotiable right now with SUV sales plummetting because of gas prices and Mitsubishi isn't doing well compared to other car makers. Shoot considerably below invoice.
The mule
This is my 3rd Mitsubishi Montero . I really love the vehicle. The only problem I have with all of my Monteros is gas mileage. I have been across the U.S.A twice, encountering, all kinds of good/bad roads/weather.and my Monteros never fail me. I am happy for the extra engine power my 2005 especially when pulling 5&6 percent road grades in Nevada / Colorado (faster than a 18 wheeler, slower than Grey Hound bus). I am sorry to hear of the montero's demise in '06 or '07. There was so much Mitsubishi could have done to inprove it's Monteros. You have a very good vehicle.
My Montero
I love my Montero very much. It is really fun to drive. It has great cargo space. It has very comfortable seating. It has a very good stereo.
Montero
Very pleased with overall performance of the vehicle. One criticism the vehicle had was acceleration, and that is unnoticeable. We have a family of four and with all passengers in car we have more than ample acceleration. We are definitely pleased with the vehicle.
Great
I love it......It's so roomy and it has just the right amount of power. I would buy it all over again.
