2000 Mitsubishi Montero XLS review from North America
"This car is expensive to use as an every day car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes went out at 7,000 miles. I have replaced the brakes again at 42,000 miles.
The automatic retractable antenna's mechanism had to be replaced in the first year.
The transmission shifts roughly. It won't shift at low rpms. It takes till 4k or 5k rpms. The dealer stated this is the norm. When I first bought it, it did not do this.
General comments?
The seats are uncomfortable for long drives. (i.e. more than an hour)
