1995 Mitsubishi Montero SR review from North America
"A disappointing high-end SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the alternator shortly after I got it.
O2 sensor had to be replaced.
General comments?
When I bought the Montero I was thrilled. This thing has more bells and whistles than one could ever use. However after a while I began to see it's short comings. From what I've learned they all burn oil. Mine was no exception. The fuel economy is horrible, repairs are very costly, the electric windows would stop working, the power locks were very touchy. I was disappointed it the quality in it was constructed. For example they used the smallest guage wire posible. It is the worst handling SUV I've ever driven. The cabin is extremely narrow for a full sized SUV.
It's not that it's a bad SUV, it's all the little things that happen. To it's credit it ran good and had a lot of power.
