Any experience with Mistubishi Montero Sport?

I have considered to get one from a guy who is a used car dealer. Its early 2000's or so. Seems like it would be a good dd. Any experience with them?

Rented one for a cross country drive one time. Lived in it for about 2 weeks. Not bad for what it is. Rides well enough.

My friends girlfriend has one and I have only driven it a few times, it feels under powered for a v6 that only gets 14 mpg city and 17 mpg highway.

The EPA's I am finding are 17-20 17-22 depending on which V6 is in it. I will probably get a high flow cat put on to open it up and get some better mileage. Maybe straight pipe, idk. I can get it to "pass" emissions so I am not worried about that. My 94 Blazer was great when I first got it. Had the 4.3 Vortec (200hp, 260 ft-lb tq). That was enough for me while the cat was out. As soon as another was put on it was restricted so bad. Before the cat replacement I was getting 20-25 mpg.

She has an all wheel drive (not really sure if they all are or not) and it seemed to do pretty well in the snow and everything. As far as I know she hasn't had any major problems with it considering she doesn't keep it maintained properly lol

Thats good, haha

Overall I think it would make a great vehicle. Im not looking to haul anything or go offroading. Just would like the ground clearance and space when needed.

Yeah its just like any other vehicle it will be a good car if its taken care of.

One of my buddies had one back in high school, it was pretty straight. I borrowed it for a couple days to move into my apartment and I liked it for what it was. He never had any problems with it.

I will be checking the new cars Scott got today. Hopefully he has something I want with good gas mileage. These gas prices are ridiculous.

I owned a 92 Montero sport, I never really had any issues with it, it rode good, decent power, but it was supppppper top heavy, im sure thats somthing they fixed by the 2000's though
