1997 Mitsubishi Montero SR from North America - Comments

"The Montero SR is reliable, spacious, rugged, stylish, and stellar off-road, the perfect SUV"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The alarm has started to act up, but I think it is because we purchased a new remote from the dealer and ever since they programmed it, it has been dodgy.

I left the sunroof open during a Florida down pour and thusly, the sunroof is also acting up. It works, but it is on its' own schedule. Considering the down pour (everything is the Montero was absolutely SOAKED), I would say that it is impressive that the only electrical problem is the sunroof.

General comments?

This is my 3rd Mitsubishi (two Eclipse GSX's and this Montero SR) and when, or if, I kill this one, I will try to find another one same year and everything.

Aside from the brain fart of leaving the sunroof open in a torrential down pour, this vehicle has been absolutely stellar.

We, my Fiance and our three dogs (a pit-bull, border collie, and an 80lb New Finland/Lab mix), have gone from Montana to Mexico, and from Florida to Washington state in it and we LOVE it.

This is the most reliable, comfortable, spacious, rugged looking and performing SUV you can buy. It looks like a smaller version of the Landcruiser and actually handles and maneuvers much better than one. And with the locking rear differential, it four wheels about as well as one (and we have definately done some four wheeling in our travels).
