More for your money!!

by gerriok
Feb 21 '00 

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

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...

1999 Montero Sport

by DonMcColgan
Nov 17 '99 - Updated Nov 27 '99 

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

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,...

Got Torque?!

by vinman
Apr 23 '00 

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

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...

This SUV is no toy

by dtauer
Aug 21 '00 

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

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...

My #2 choice in entry SUV's

by dkarmol
Dec 21 '99 

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

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...

Montero Sport --> Buy It !!!

by MACKTD68
Jan 15 '00 

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

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...

What's Not To Like

by hwillnow
Dec 17 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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...

sharp turns and good gas

by devine578
Dec 18 '99 

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

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...

Montero Sport

by sdbax
Jan 16 '00 

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

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...

How 'Sporty' Is It, Anyway?

by proline1
Dec 20 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

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....

'99 Montero Sport ES

by kevincwgordon
Dec 22 '99 

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

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,...

Great Looks .. That's all

by sts92
Mar 03 '01 

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

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...
