 We are on our third Montero Sport XLS and have loved every one.  We have had no problems running them each 50,000 - 60,000 miles, except the '98 which had a driver's side window defect.  We do a lot of highway driving and live in very mountainous/rural Oregon.  They have performed well on long road trips and four wheeling on local rough mountain roads and trails. Consumer's Report gave them a bad rap because they drove like a truck.  Then Mitsubishi modified the suspension and they got a bad rap for riding like a car!  It seems like Mitsubishi cannot do much to please that magazine. The materials inside and out are high quality.  It has good fit and finish.  This is a rig to think about keeping until the wheels fall off.
