1995 Mitsubishi Montero Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is one of the best cars I've ever driven. It rides like a truck, but handles almost like a car. Tight turn radius, which came in handy when turning into driveways or when offroading. Can stop on a dime, if needed. Looks were ok, with the teal paint job. But it still looked pretty good. Simple, with a slight rugged edge. Can seat 7, with the two extra seats in the trunk space. The third row can fold up, and the second row bench seat can fold flat for extra cargo room. There's a roof rack as well. Body felt solid and strong, despite wind noise on the freeway. Wasn't too expensive to own. It gets about 16mpg city, 20mpg highway, which isn't bad for an SUV of that decade. Repairs were minimum, with small replacements here and there. Most expensive was the replacement of the shocks, which was a total of about $280. It already had 250,000 miles on it by the time I had it, so it had plenty of wear from the previous owner. And unfortunately they had the engine replaced for cheap, so it ended up only lasting me barely a year :( But these cars are known for getting up to 300,000 miles and still running strong, as long as they're well taken care of.May 04, 2012
