 We test drove several SUVs (including: 
Mercedes, Volvo, the new VW) when we 
were looking for a new SUV.  No other 
SUV maker had the options that 
Mitsubishi had.  All were compareable 
on gas milage.  But the Montero had the 
fold down 3rd row seats (they don't get 
in the way like the Mercedes), nice 
interior features (I love that the 
front row armrest adjusts to the driver 
and it looks better then Volvo), and 
4wd standard.  I wouldn't change my 
choice.  Also I had a great dealership 
to work with.
