About the Mitsubishi Montero Sport
An adventure-ready mid-size SUV of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport remains today a worthy predecessor of Mitsubishi Endeavor. In trims ranging from base ES and step-up LS to midrange XLS and XS and Limited at the top of the line, it's built tough for the off-road, on the one hand -- body-on-frame, with I4 and V6 engines ready to power across diverse terrain. On the other, it's enjoyable to drive, with a choice of capable rear- and four-wheel drivetrains (RWD and 4WD) and four- and five-speed manual transmissions. It's even fuel-efficient, with an advantage on its full-size SUV sibling, the Mitsubishi Montero. Factor in a no-frills, no-nonsense interior, and a bold, boxy, confident look versus that of a car-based crossover, and it's plain to see: it's a great trailblazer and family car alike.
FAQs About Mitsubishi Montero Sport
How reliable is Montero Sport?
Fairly. Reviewers on RepairPal, for instance, rate the SUV 3.9 out of 5 stars overall. Edmunds reviewers rate the 2000 model, for example, 4.4 out of 5 stars, while owners rating it on Cars.com give the 2002 and 2003 models, for another example, 4.3 and 4.2 out of 5 stars respectively. Common problems like faulty crankshaft pulley bolts, worn or damaged steering and suspension parts, and bad front brakes can be handled easily with regular inspections and service before they get worse.
Why was the Montero Sport discontinued?
Because of the growing popularity of crossovers, the introduction of the Mitsubishi Outlander, and competition with the Mitsubishi Endeavor, in the same mid-size segment and at a similar price point. Of course, this makes Montero Sport attractively inexpensive for mods and upgrades. A used 2004 model, for example, can go for between $3,000 and $4,000 these days, according to Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com; that means plenty of money left over after financing for performance upgrades like a turbocharger and cold air intake, a few accessories like seat covers and all-weather floor mats, and more.
How many miles is a Montero Sport good for?
A couple hundred-thousand, provided the SUV is well-maintained and serviced regularly. That means replacing the engine air filter and spark plugs every 15,000 miles or 12 months, changing the oil filter every 3,750 miles or 3 months, swapping out the brake pads and brake rotors every 7,500 miles or 6 months, and so on.
Does Montero Sport have four-wheel drive (4WD)?
Yes; the system's called Super Select 4WD-II, and it's got a choice of four modes, for both rear- and four-wheel driving and in both high and low ranges -- more than in a lot of part-time systems. 2H mode is for normal roads, while 4H is for gravel, wet roads, snow, and dusty terrain. 4HLc is for going through mud, fording water, and tacking into uneven terrain and snow at around 30 mph, and 4LLc is for extreme off-roading under 19 mph -- getting through deep mud, crawling rocks, climbing steep hills (and out of ditches), heavy snow, and vehicle recovery.
