It's been a really safe vehicle
I like that it gets good gas mileage. I like that it's spacious. I like that it's been low maintenance.

She lasts ans lasts!!
16 years! Best car I have ever owned. Longest I have ever had one car. I have always maintained her and did regular oil changes. She is a grandma now and I may need to retire her. I personally have needs for a van to live in. She jsut started leaking oil and I have an appointment in two days to have her looked at probaly a gasket. We all get old and wear our.

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
The inside is cloth interior. Roomy. The backseat is nice but for people with long legs it could be a bit cramped if the front seat is back. The very back has lots of space. This particular model is notorious for the check engine light. It does burn oil. O2 sensors are also an issue. But the engine itself is good.

It's extremely reliable! Its ran with the check engine light on for 3 years now and nothing's broken down on it, yet. Not too many problems, just my lack of maintenance for it.
I love it. It's gotten me from point A to point B for five years now. It has over 200,000 miles and it's still kicking. Great car!

Mitsubishi Montero build for comfort.
Comfortable seating in front and back. Ample storage room. All wheel drive to get through snow and mud as well as climb hills. Seats five comfortably with two in front and two in back. Has a am/ FM radio and CD player. Storage available in the console and glove compartment.

Review of my vehicle. Comfortable, room for storage, fits 5, all wheel drive.
It's comfortable to ride and drive. Plenty of space for five people. Lots of room in the main back for storage. All wheel drive lets you drive on rough terrain in snow, mud, or hills. Have not had any problems with this vehicle. Will need new tires before winter however.

My vehicle is the perfect family vehicle for us.
I really love my Mitsubishi Montero. It has all wheel drive which really helps us to get to where we need to be in winter when there is snow and ice. It goes smoothly up hills and mountains. It also does good on muddy or unpaved roads. There is plenty of room for five people to comfortably sit. There is also a lot of storage room in the main back of the truck. The Montero drives smooth and is easy to handle.

Reliable but can use some upgrades
The vehicle last however it's not meant for tall folks and has a tip over warning which matters for safety
