Below is the thread I started on the forum in the Montero Sport section. Of the guys who have gone through this what is your current feeling? Happy with the Endeavor? I have read the posts below that say you guys are happy but has anyone had one long enough to some real miles on one? Any feedback is appreciated. Looks like I will probably be trading the 2001 Sport with 90,000 miles on a 2005 Endeavor.
Thanks in advance. If I do buy it I look forward to chatting with more Endeavor owners here.

I am asking you guys because I know you understand how much you love your Sport and how hard it is to get rid of. Here is the situation. My wife drives a 2001 Montero Sport XLS. I drive it when we go somewhere and she drives it while I am at work and away. It has just over 90,000 miles on it. I know it could go for 90,000 more but..... we have an 18 month old and another one on the way in July. It is paid off and would be a great down payment on a new vehicle. I am diehard Mitsu but I need to know should I try and find a newer lower mileage Sport or buy her an Endeavor. I know they are both fruits but one is an apple while the other is an orange. We do not use the Sport for real off road use. We tow a boat and go camping a few times a year. That is about it. I really love Sports but I think I (and especially her) would feel better with her in a newer lower mileage vehicle.
What would you guys do? With the Sport done in the US more and more of us will be faced with this decision in the near future. She does not like the full size Montero so it is the Endeavor, probably get an '05 with low miles, or wait for the new Outlander, but that probably is not big enough.
Any help or ideas or heck comforting words (I don't wanna see the Sport go but...) would be appreciated.
