1995 Mitsubishi Montero LS review from North America
"Incredibly Reliable 4WD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle air control motor failed.
General comments?
This has been an incredibly reliable car. I previously owned a 1990 Montero and liked it so much that I purchased a 1995 model. Both vehicles have been unbelievable reliable. They just never break. And for a 4WD that is pretty amazing.
It is true that maintenance is expensive for the dealer. However, I am a DIYer and have never let the dealer touch this car. I did a major tune up/timing belt change at 90,000 miles (way over due should have been at 60,000). It is a huge job to change the timing belt. About 4-6 hours. But, how can I complain about that when nothing else ever breaks on the car?
Not real powerful, but I don't drive this car like speed racer. Lots of storage space.
