This Year's Model Updates:

Although the Endeavor is an all-new vehicle for 2004, an upgraded 2004.5 model was released midway through the year to address some initial shortcomings. The list of upgrades includes more horsepower (225), daytime running lamps, advanced dual-stage front airbags and a tire-pressure monitor as standard. An improved ABS system (with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and traction control) is now available on LS 2WD models and standard on XLS 2WD and Limited 2WD. A full-size spare with alloy wheel and a towing prep package is now standard on LS AWD (optional LS 2WD) and XLS. Standard side-impact airbags for front-seat passengers have been added to the Endeavor XLS. Rounding out the 2004.5 changes are a handful of new options, including a rear-seat DVD entertainment system for XLS and Limited, and traction and stability control for the Limited AWD.

Pros:
  • Carlike ride, roomy seating front and rear, torquey V6 power plant, solid build and materials quality, good crash test scores.
Cons:
  • Less cargo capacity than the class leaders, polarizing interior design.

  • Fun to Drive around - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    My 2004.5 Endeavor XLS 2WD is really a great SUV. Although I should have gotten the AWD one. Compared to my previous 2001 Montero LTD, this has a more powerful engine, excellent fuel mileage, car ride feel, better sound system, superb uphill torque. I picked this vehicle for its great style and soffisticated look...and the bulky macho look. Looking forward the Ralliart edition.

  • Converted! - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    The dealer had to really talk me into even test-driving the Endeavor. Once I did, I was SOLD! It has all the advantages of an SUV yet drives like a car. Its loaded with conveniences that are not essential to driving, but just make car ownership easier. The only drawback is that premium fuel is required.

  • What a Vehicle - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    Well, after several months of research and test driving a number of other SUVs/Cross-Overs, we kept coming back to the Endeavor because we realy liked the styling, the interior, fit and finish and the way it handled. We were also impressed with the value compared to the others ( especially, when you consider the current $2,000 rebate ). By far, IMO, the Endeavor is the best in its class. This, at first, was difficult for me to accept because I am a big fan of both Honda and Toyota. I currently own of new Lexus and, although I have never owned a Mitsubishi product, I must say that we have been absolutely thrilled with everything about the Endeavor.

  • Love the Endeavor - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    I drive 40 miles round trip to work, city driving, highway, stop and go all the way. The endeavor has had quite a few recalls, all of which I was notified about and service was provided without problems. My endeavor has 90K on it now and I hate the thought of trading it although it would only be a on a 2011 model Endeavor. Unfortunately it is in the shop now. I dont have the final details but it appears to have transmission problems. The warranty says drivetrain coverage 10 years/100K miles. Fingers crossed.

  • Love my Baby! - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    So we bought My Baby this time last year and have been in love with it! Right after purchase we did have to take it back to get the back tailgate fixed, it kept poping open. But the gas mileage and the driving and the handling is just amazing! There is noise with having the sunroof open, but I love having my music on so it doesnt bother me. Also, it fits 3 full size carseats! My friend has a 4Runner and cant do that! Weve taken her halfway across the country and loved it! I just cant express how much I love my Endeavor!!!

  • Upgrade to FWD Limited - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    The Endeavor has it all!!! I dirve a lot on the highway and the comfort is unbelievable. Im looking at upgrading to a AWD and the Limited Endeavor is beating out the Honda, hands down.

  • Taking it to the mountains! - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    IN July we drove from Florida to Burnsville NC. THe Endeavor handled the mountains beautifully! We couldnt have been more pleased. From there we went to Findlay, OH. Overall, we put 3,ooo+ miles on the Endeavor. Never once did we have any handling problems or difficulties of any kind. The cruise control worked great! There are a few design problems, but overall, I love my Mitsubishi.

  • Solid SUV Great Used Car Valu - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    Purchased 2004 AWD in 2008 with 50,000 miles , now at 114000 and have only done a timing belt. Call me lucky? Not even the brakes. From Oregon to Hawaii and back, most of it left outside and still looks great. Love the view of the road, with the small windows in the A pillar to see the sidewalk and kid on bike about to cross in front of you. Just test drove a Chev, Traverse and felt like I was in a cave. Negatives,Retarded instrument panel, light blue on gray/silver next to impossible to see as the driver. Heater strong but finding the air flow setting takes 2 people. Tire wear is even and not excessive No leaks or malfunctions in sunroof or other windows. Ride can be choppy due to the short wheel base, and this is a car that needs to be driven at a safe speed. Swerving at 70 mph on wet pavement would get dicey. Look for a well cared for used and it is a tremendous bang for the used car buck.

  • Underpriced & Overperforming - 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor
    By -

    My 04 Endeavor XLS is a dream to drive. Its quiet, very comfortable and one of the nicest-looking SUVs on the road. I was blown away by the "Sportronic" transmission shifter and the sheer power of the vehicle. Id recommend it in a heartbeat.
