I bought this vehicle with 125,000 miles. This was the first 4X4 vehicle I have ever owned and certainly the first all-wheel drive. It took a few days to get used to driving an all-wheel drive vehicle, but I don't think I could drive anything else now. This vehicle has a 3.5 V6 that has plenty of power. It has plenty of torque to power through traffic if need be or haul a trailer. The vehicle has been dependable overall with repair needs. However, it does have several rattles and is a noisy ride. The interior is cloth and does not have many upgrades. There is plenty of storage space with hidden compartments in the rear cargo bay. I often haul my kayaks on the roof rack, and it has plenty of room for two kayaks and gear in the back. I would say that the overall quality is good for this ... (more)
Story
I love kayaking, and this vehicle makes that easier than ever. My buddy and I were kayaking a backwater stream, and the terrain became too tough for us. The nearest access to the stream was up a steep cliff that we would never be able to get the kayaks up. I pulled my truck to the top of the cliff and used it to hoist the kayaks up the hill.
Pros
Strong engine. All-wheel drive. Roof rack. Ample storage space.
Cons
Poor interior features. Cloth seats. Noisy ride.

The Montero sport is highly reliable, and maintenance costs are low. The car features large amounts of cargo space which was ideal when I was changing addresses often in college. Performance is average with a 235 HP v6 engine with less than average acceleration for its class. However, with a relatively low price tag when purchased second hand, performance issues can be easily overlooked. The ES trim lacks four-wheel drive functionality, but in city driving situations, this becomes a non issue. Non-powertrain parts and labor costs are very low. Powertrain parts are similarly cheap, however maintenance ,such as changing spark plugs, can take in excess of four hours due to their placement on the engine block. Depending on your location and service center, this can become very expensive. O... (more)
Story
Driving from Miami for Orlando to visit Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights.
Pros
Parts are inexpensive. Large cargo capacity.
Cons
Fuel efficiency averages about 12 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. Labor costs on engine can be high due to placement. High center of gravity means slower cornering speed.
