MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT


MITSUBISHI MONTERO SPORT
About all the body-on-frame Montero Sport has in common with the more upscale unibody Montero is a 197-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which powers the top-of-the-line XLS and Limited models (the ES and mid-level LS use a 165-hp, 3.0-liter V-6). The Sport comes with rear- or four-wheel drive, and all models have a four-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive versions have a full-time all-wheel-drive system that was introduced last year, replacing a manually shifted part-time system. For 2003 the roofline is lifted to create more headroom, the standard audio system is boosted to 140 watts, and, in a real marketing coup, the New Zealand Green exterior is replaced by Amazon Green. The Sport’s styling appeals to us and we like its off-road ability, but the ride is a bit bouncy and the steering is on the sloppy side. Still, it’s a good buy in the competitive SUV market.
