1995 Mitsubishi Montero SR review from North America

Mostly, the electrical system has given me problems.

The rear driver-side power window didn't work for the first few months I had it. It has since started working.

The powerseat got stuck and the dealer had to fix it.

I had to replace the power antenna staff, but that is not possible and the entire assembly had to be replaced ($$$$).

No major engine problems - does burn oil but doesn't produce smoke.

Very difficult to work on the car - must be taken to a mechanic every time something is wrong.

I love this car. I am seriously considering buying the 2000 model. It drives like a Mercedes and off-roads wonderfully!

I got after-market running rails, grille guard and fog lights. The styling for the factory options for those accessories really stink. The leather interior is awesome and the rear seat folds down so you can use it almost as a bed. Great for the romantic trip to the mountains.

The only engineering problem I must mention is the engine. The V6 really is not powerful enough to easily handle the weight of the car. The MPG is only about 12 or 14.

Hopefully Mitsubishi will begin offering V8s soon for the Montero.
