Overview & Reviews

Mitsubishi jumps into the mini-SUV battle with the Outlander, which offers different styling but little else to separate it from the likes of the Subaru Forester or Honda CR-V.

• Roomy and comfortable ride, peppy around town, solid handling.

• Lacks punch for passing, distracting audio controls.

  Great car thus far - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By btotherich06 - June 5 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car just recently with just under 76,000 miles, and am very impressed so far. Only major defect I had was the moonroof motor was falling apart, which happened five days after I bought it. Thankfully my auto broker paid for the repair. Even though I have only had this car for almost a month, I can picture myself driving this car until well over 200k miles!

  Giddyup! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By avenger - May 26 - 2:00 am

  My wife & I were just looking at crossover vehicles. We stumbled upon the outlander & my wife fell in love with it! I wasnt sold until we drove it. Its actually enjoyable to drive!! We arent looking for a sports car so the 2.4 gives just enough power. But we also dont deal with city traffic & highway merging issues. Overall well be driving it for a few more years. Hopefully well enjoy it as long!

  Great car, but.... - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Bordell - March 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought an Outlander in November 2002. I love the styling, performance, comfort, and braking of the car. Acceleration is good too, not sure where Edmonds and Car and Driver got theirs from but mine is peppy. I have had a problem with the car drifting to the right ever since I got it. It has been back to the dealer 4 times to get corrected but they have not been able to get it right. They tell me that there may be a recall on Outlanders to correct this problem when Mitsubishi gets the fix in a few weeks. Have any other owners had this problem? Let me know. I have had no other problems, I really do like the car.

  Awesome SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By we2apothecary - February 16 - 2:00 am

  This is an awesome buy! The Outlander comes standard with automatic transmission, add-ons are reasonable, & the financing deal Mitsubishi is offering is incredible. The Outlander has the smoothest ride of any of the "mini-SUVs" on the market. Great handling, super comfortable seats, good gas mileage, & you just cant beat the overall appearance. No problem with interstate passing here (not sure where Edmunds get that comment). This car has incredible get up & go. Mitsubishi includes tons of standard features. I am super satisfied with our purchase!

  Good in the snow - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By randyptl - February 10 - 2:00 am

  Overall it is great. Not much on acceleration, however, it rides well on the highway. My kids love the arm rest with the drink holders and the back seat fits two car seats well.

  cant beat it for the money - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By ryanclements - December 1 - 2:00 am

  My wife and I have had the Outlander for a year now and we still love it. It has a very car-ish ride and still has many of the useful things we were hoping to get from an SUV (cargo space, roomy ride). ABS should be standard. Its probably not the best SUV on the market, but the cost makes it, in my opinion, the best value--which is most important. Its pretty good on gas anyway, but we added a tornado fuel saver and the hwy mpg jumped by 4-6 miles/gal! The sportronic trannie is a hoot too. I dont use it often, but theres plenty of juice when I need it. We love it, and anyone that would give it a chance most likely will too.

  Checqued out Outlander-Good Choice - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By JMErbrick1980 - November 17 - 2:00 am

  The other day I went to look at the Outlander, since I needed a larger vehicle. My first impressions were for the most part positive, but would have been more positive, had Mitsubishi added the Galant V6 as an option. A little underpowered, but overall a good choice.

  Wasnt even looking... - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Spakie - November 7 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Outlander for a little over three months, and really like it. When I first started looking for a small SUV, due to lower back problems aggrivated by my current car, I was primarily focused on the Honda CR-V and lookig at Pre-Owned. The price tag of the 3-year old CR-V with 38K and the brand new Outlander LS AWD were almost identical. I found the Seating in the Outlander far more comfortable. No brainer... bought the Outlander. Like everything thus far but, like many others, would like to have about 20-30 more HP on occasion. The Sportshift mode does help.
