200000 miles and still a rolling

by LaFeet Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Feb 28 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: roooooomy, com fort able, rugged, dependable, and still stylish
Cons: not the best gas mileage, costly repairs can happen
The Bottom Line: Mercedes Quality at a Sears price (does that make sense??)

This is about our 1997 Mitsubishi Montero.... there is no current posting for our year. After several years and many miles I feel qualified to state that our 1997 Montero is a dream come true. I have previously written about my Montero on this ...

Urban Assault Vehicle

Nov 01 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: A roomy, comfortable SUV
Cons: Sluggish transmission. Low gas mileage.

I hated SUVs until I owned one. Now I love them.

Back in 1996 my wife and I needed a new car and we decided agreed that we needed something capable of hauling lots of stuff around. I scuba dive and I was tired of trying to load all my gear...

Spacious, well equipped, but drive carefully

by lou001
Dec 29 '03 - Updated Dec 30 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy, well equipped, reliable, capable in snowy/icy conditions
Cons: fuel economy, brake life, handling
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Montero to anyone who really needs the combination of seating for seven and competent off-road capability.

We bought our Montero with 56K on the odometer and have since put another 65K miles on it. I didn't really check out all of the alternative SUVs in this class -- we wanted something with seating for seven and were anti-minivan and the Montero seemed to ...

"Ol' Monty" keeps on truckin'.

by bobnjen1
Oct 29 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Build quality, reliability, durability, excellent 4WD system, comfort.
Cons: Underpowered, truck-like ride and handling.
The Bottom Line: If you want a reliable, durable, and comfortable vehicle for work or play, look no further.

I bought "Monty" as we've grown to affectionately call it, in 1997 as a new vehicle (150 miles.) We've only driven it 76,000 miles in eight years, but its proven to be extremely reliable and useful. Its never seen the inside of a garage, but the finish ...

Wonderful SUV

by AbbyCole
Jan 04 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fold down seats in back, 10 disk CD player, Attractive car
Cons: A little top heavy,

My husband and I bought this car in 1996. We had just brought home our 3rd son. The extra space and seats are WONDERFUL! The back of the car can be used for cargo space or fold the seats down and you have 2 extra optional seats. That was the selling...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Luxury, nice ride, fun to drive
Cons: Expensive, slow, too heavy for type of engine

The Mitsubishi is a great automobile until it breaks down. The car I have at the moment has 60,000 miles and is a 1996 Mitsubishi Montero Sr. I loved this car as soon as I bought it; great off-roading experience, luxury, nice ride, everything I wanted....

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Flexible truck, seats 7, fun to drive, lots of gadgets
Cons: Doesn't run anymore
The Bottom Line: Stay away from higher mileage Montero's. You don't want to have the same problems we did!

My wife and I bought a used Montero with a lot of miles, but expected it to continue working for lon ...
