Pros: all the options and the fit & finish Cons: none at this time
When looking for an SUV last year we compared dollar to dollar all the current models and makes at that time. We went out and physically checked them all out and test drove all the models that compared price wise. When we did this we already were...

Pros: Comfort Cons: body roll, wind noise
I find this to be a very comfortable ride. Roomier driver seating than most, and very acceptable performance. I bought the 2wd model as I seldom go off road but I do appreciate the ground clearance when I do. The ride is better than my Nissan Maxima,...

Pros: everything but the inefficient drivetrain Cons: give it a trailer, watch it gasp!
Despite the given title of this review, overall I would rate it favorably. The one little tidbit that seems to be commonly left out is it's available torque, or more specifically lack thereof. My wife and I bought this particular vehicle after doing...

Pros: Price, rugged, styling Cons: Cup holder, radio a little "muddy"
With so many of the SUVs looking like toys this vehicle is a true performer. Built on the Montero truck chassis, the Montero Sport comes with skid plates, aggressive tires and an automatic transmission mode switch to help handle even difficult...

Pros: Styling, ride Cons: Price, seats
While this is really an attractively styled, roomy SUV, it was not the SUV I bought after exhaustively researching the field, and driving each vehicle several times.
Strong points for the Montero Sport: Bold styling, roomy interior, high ride...

Pros: Value, Looks, Power Cons: 1999 Front Seat Cup holder (fixed it in 2000)
I bought my 1999 Limited Montero Sport in January of 1999 in the middle of a snow storm. I had just relocated to Ohio, and was adjusting to the snow. The Montero showed me the way.
The car runs great. It has the 3.5L V-6, and its got power...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Excellent head room, Looks Different, Large sunroof Cons: The two back seats are a nice addition but only for kids.
The Mitsubishi Montero when compared to the Tahoe, Suburban or Expedition has less interior room but when comparing style and features it leaves the others on the side of the road in a snow bank.
This vehicle is made to turn heads and hearts and...

Pros: handles well, good gas mileage, smooth Cons: none
Being the owner of two very active dogs and an even more active 9 year old I was frustrated lugging them around in my year old Eclipse. Discovering I had another child on the way I decided enough was enough…. I needed a bigger vehicle. I researched SUV's...

Pros: Very neat art work. Cons: None
Yes I totally agree with you on that note Ron. It is the most smooth riding car in this country. Especially when driven on the road. When I m driving it feels so nice and smooth. Its likes you can barely feel anything moving. What I love it is the...

Pros: Good Looks Cons: Poor Quality - Not Comfortable
When my Wife and I purchased our 1999 Mitsubishi Monetro Sport In July we were taken back by its overall good, rugged, looks. The fact that we were not encountering this vehicle at every stoplight like the 4 Runner and Chrysler products intrigued us....

Pros: Good value Cons: Doesn't have a great ride, 4 cylinder lacks power
Don't be confused by the name. This is not the bigger and more expensive Montero that has been around since the eighties. The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is based on the recently departed Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup, and although it looks like a Montero,...

Pros: Great Looks Cons: Poor Craftmanship and vibrations The Bottom Line: Do not buy a Sport and never deal with a Mitsubishi dealer. They are well aware and trained on how to avoid this issue.
I was impressed buy the sleek look on the 1999 Montero Sport XLS. That's about all the good things I can say about the MS. After 5,000 miles, it developed a front end vibration that has not been fixed after two (2) dealers, 8 visits and a failed Lemon...
