Mitsubishi Montero LS
| | Model of the car: | Mitsubishi Montero LS | | | General comments: | I was looking for an SUV to tow my motorcycles. I had been looking for several months at Toyotas. I saw the Montero and remembered all the 4WD articles I had read about it. I decided to give it a test drive and the very next day I came back to buy it. It has only 35K miles and was clean. There is a small dent on the roofline but not noticeable. I simply love this car. I have owned SUVs for the last 4 years and I wanted to buy another. I don't know anyone who owns a Montero so I really did not have any interest in the vehicle until I read the 4X4 reviews and test drove it. I expected a more harsh and clumsy ride but was quite surprised how well it behaved itself on and off road. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Wind noise at highway speed. Cloth interior doesn't feel plush or durable. Jumpseats are a really tight squeeze (But then again these ARE jumpseats and only used in a pinch). The 2001 seats fold into the floor which is a better design than the fold up, allowing for better vision when the seats aren't used. The spare tire is mounted on the rear door and it hinders rear visibility. They should have mounted the spare tire under the vehicle like the Landcruiser. | | | Previous car: | 1997 Pathfinder - Turned in after lease, did not have enough power and 4WD not as user friendly.1996 and 2000 Ford Explorer - These were company vehicles, did not have enough power with the V6 and 4WD systems not as good, had several recalls and the 1996 |
