I've had the Mitsubishi Sport for 15 years, and it has been a great vehicle. I've never had a serious problem with it and have done routine maintenance on it. It broke down one time because the alternator went bad, but other than that, I have done what I consider scheduled maintenance. It rides better than many larger SUVs and if reasonable comfortable for long trips. I often drive it on 800 mile trips with no problem. The inside is ample without any frills, but has everything I need. Power windows is about it for luxury items. It is pretty versatile when it comes to hauling larger items. It handles ok, but I wouldn't want to be in a near accident with it because it can be a little sketchy in fast turns. Fuel mileage is about 20 on average which is not too good for a small SUV.

Story
My wife and I quite often use the vehicle to go on fishing excursions. We have routinely loaded our fishing gear and gone to a park on top of the mountain in Huntsville, AL and thoroughly enjoyed the SUV.
Pros
Reliable, easy maintenance, versatile.
Cons
Gas mileage, handling is not the best.

I really like my Mits. I have owned a few other used cars, but none have compared to this one. I have had the SUV for almost 6 years, and have not had to do any repairs except regular maintenance. I know that it is just an SUV, but I use the cargo space in the back to haul wood for my fireplace. I get clean hardwood, and it stacks nicely in the back. It is a good size for me to take my 4 Grandchildren with me, when I go shopping or driving around.
Story
My husband and I have taken it camping on several occasions. We have driven up to the mountains and found secluded camping spots. The vehicle has a roof rack, but there was always enough room inside, and we have never had to use the rack. (I take a lot of creature comforts when I go camping).
Pros
Very sound and sturdy (o rattles or noises). Dependable (knock on wood, it has never stranded me). Great gas mileage . Easy to drive (I am not a very tall person, and easy for me to drive). Comfortable (leather, heated seats, nice in the winter). It's a nice looking vehicle (a nice looking silver). Easy maintenance. Roomy Interior (lots of room for the grandchildren).
Cons
It's a little high to step into (I am only 5' 1"), so if I am parked on an area that has low spots, it can be a challenge to climb into.
