Summary:
|
Mainstream appeal and pricing.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
General comments that apply to the Montero Sport are equally valid for most sport-utility vehicles. If you can accept their limitations--noise levels and ride quality that are generally poorer than you find in a passenger car and below-normal fuel economy--they can be pleasant, useful transportation devices. But if you appreciate the extra interior space, higher seating position and rugged looks of a sport-ute, the Sport deserves to be high on your shopping list. It is one of the more refined machines in its class, is well-made and has distinctive looks. If you want more luxury, check the rest of the Montero tribe. But the new Sport version is the best choice if you plan to visit the wilds, and, arguably, the better buy. Just be careful with the option shopping. |
|
Overview:
|
Since Mitsubishi first offered its Montero to sport-utility customers, it has presented a utilitarian, boxy appearance that disguised the luxury touches inside. Like the Jeep Cherokee and Isuzu Trooper, the Montero's looks have suggested that style had been accorded a distant second-place ranking to function. Sport-utility buyers liked that, and still do. The piano-case Montero continues on sale, but now it's joined by a new, slightly smaller version, the Montero Sport, that puts the same rugged underpinnings under a slick new shell. Style-wise, the Montero Sport faces rivals that wouldn't have been considered by previous Montero intenders. Nissan's Pathfinder and Toyota's 4Runner, both redesigned last year, and the Isuzu Rodeo/ Honda Passport twins come to mind, as do the Jeep Cherokees, Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy/ Oldsmobile Bravada and Ford Explorer. It's important to re-member that all of these competitors have as much substance as style. That's a major consideration for those looking to the sport-utes for more than just high-profile on-road duty. The larger Montero has never been found lacking when asked to work hard; can the same be said of its new junior partner?
