Overview & Reviews
Following on the heels of a significant midyear refresh for 2004, there are few new features for this year. Side airbags are now standard on all models, and an anti-theft system is included on the XLS.
- Rides like a car, roomy seating, torquey V6 power plant, solid build and materials quality, good crash test scores.
- Less cargo capacity than the class leaders, polarizing interior design, no third-row seat available.

Love It! - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By carmen_t - November 7 - 11:04 amPurchased at 19 miles. 4 years since then. No problems at 50,000 plus miles. Comfy long distances. Hwy mileage is very good, not so much in the city. AWD runs great off-road, including the sand --fun! The least i like about it, noticeable muffler from the back of the SUV, and U-turns are wide.

Blind spot - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Joyce Anatra - December 16 - 7:26 pmOnly one draw back, between the windshield corners and the front doors, thereis a blind spot that you have to get use to and physically adjust to compensate. Other then that, it is a very well built vehicle. I would recomend the Endeaver to my friends and familly.

Good crossover for the price - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Nick - August 11 - 11:40 amWe bought our Endeavor a year and a half ago and have put 25K miles since then. We have been pretty happy with it so far. It has a lot of cargo space in the back and the seats are easy to fold down to create even more. I love the power this vehicle has and the transmission is very responsive. The transmission does make a wining noise in warmer weather. This is a known issue with them - cant be fixed, so I deal with it. It is very comfortable on long trips. I question its durability, though. The interior is very cheap. The fabric, although comfortable, is already showing significant wear. The dash and doors are mostly brittle plastic and the sunroof seals arent sealing.

Handles like a car - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By jpabon - February 24 - 8:13 pmThe Mitsubishi Endeavor is much better than the discontinued Montero Sport. It handles well, and the alternative dual transmission is fun to drive and play with.

Under-rated - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Mayham - November 14 - 12:33 pmI acutally purchased my Endeavor in the Fall, 2003. It was a great value at the time and I have not been disappointed. This is a neat mid-SUV with all the amenities that I need without extras I wont use. I love it! This is my third fourth Mitsubishi and I will continue coming back...they are well built vehicles for much less cost than competitors.

Bells & whistles galore - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By MICHAELLA - January 4 - 7:53 pmLoved the 2005 Toyota 4-Runner (had a 95 4-Runner prior), but didnt want to pay for all of the a la carte upgrades (sunroof, 6-cd changer, leather) on the SR5 or Sport Edition & wasnt willing to pay for the Limited. Endeavor had everything I wanted and then some, plus the added 0% APR deal. Easy choice! Still prefer the exterior of the Toyota, but wouldnt trade my heated seats, steering wheel audio controls and other bells & whistles now for anything! As far as value, I definitely feel I got the biggest bang for my buck. Extremely satisfied overall.

My New Endeavor - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By europea28 - February 3 - 5:06 amIts fun to drive, easily manouvarable and visualy stunning. I was a little worried about getting an SUV, and was torn between this one and the Pilot. I found this one to be more aestheticaly pleasing, and I feel very safe in it. I love this vehicle. Its my first SUV and Im thorougly enjoying it.

Quality Vehicle - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Richard - April 16 - 1:10 pmWe bought our new 05 Endeavor AWD in Jan 2006. I added factory fog lights, rear mudflaps. All the parts were ordered by the dealer and were installed without any trouble. We have 39k on the SUV now and have had Zero problems. Our dealer is Lees Summit Mitsubishi. They have done a really nice job of taking care of our vehicle. Most of our mileage is in town family and grocery hauling. The vehicle does everything that we want it to do. We average about 18 mpg. On the highway about 20/21. I am about ready to buy new tires as the stock tires are almost gone now. We dont miss the 3rd row seat as we seldom haul more than four people.

The Sport in Sport Utlity - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Johnnie - March 2 - 9:40 pmThe vehicle is very nice. I wish I had purchased the AWD version. The motor is so "torquie" that often I spin tires when trying to get going quickly. The seats are nice and the added comfort of driving a limited with side frame re-inforcements makes the vehicle seem more truck-like. This is a nice one indded but the usual inconveniences from a manufacturer like Mitsubishi are there too. Molding, Molding, Molding.....Stuff does have a way of popping off of this thing for seemingly no reason at all. Sunroof privacy cover handle, radio/ ac knobs...Screw covers in the luggage rack.. Still I have to say that I love mine and would buy another without a doubt!

Love everything except.... - 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor
By Ken - October 11 - 3:13 amThe tires are horrible and I feel unsafe in the rain. The best mpg to date is 15.4, even on the highway. I wish there was a switch to turn of the daytime running lights when Im just sitting in the car listening to the radio. The back seats dont fold completely flat. The rear passenger area should have a dome light. The dash texture just traps dirt and dust. The A/C vents cannot be individually switched off. There are no vents in the back seat. The gearshift indicators are not illuminated. If we have that little computer in the front, why not have an available OnsSar, GPS, or nav system available? Or estimated MPG calcular? Or optional satelite radio?
