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.

  Owner Impression of the 2003 Outlander - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By cturner291 - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Just recently bought a 2003 XLS front wheel drive model and first impressions of it are favorable. It has a well thought out design, solid Japanese quality, and very quiet and extremely smooth ride on the highway. Handles well in tight traffic and is fun to drive. It has a comfortable interior with lots of leg room that wont have you cramping up with back problems after 300 miles or so. Peppy but not great acceleration out of the small 4-cyl. but is more than adequate for most normal driving and the gas mileage savings offset the lack of the V-6.

  Terrific Little SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By LadyFaire - May 11 - 8:03 am

  If you are looking for a smaller, more fuel efficient SUV, you could not find a better one than the Outlander, whatever the year. I have the 2003, in 2 wheel drive, and both my husband and I liked it so much that he bought a new Outlander (AWD) last year when his Subaru (his 7th) quit. I never thought he would abandon his Subarus, but he actually defected to my Outlanders side. The Outlander handles like a dream, has a really nice sound system (once you fiddle with the balance, etc), the intelligent wipers are great, the seats are comfortable, and the gas mileage is respectable once you break in the engine (after about 30,000 miles).

  A Great Decision - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By tampabayzeta - April 6 - 2:00 am

  My Rio Red Outlander is the cutest little thing. It does feel more like a car than an SUV, but thats alright with me. Had a Ford Escape before, and always felt like I was going to tip over in curves. Very comfortable to drive. Design is awesome!! A great decision overall for the money!

  Lemon,Lemon---oh no - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Hate my Outlander! - March 24 - 1:50 am

  My Outlander has been nothing but problems since I purchased it in 2004 BRAND NEW off the lot. Every year I had water rushing into the passenger side onto the floor. The shop attempted to fix it multiple times. Every time it would happen again until the my warranty ran out and they thought they could refuse to fix it! ha!! LEMON LAW!! Now I replaced the brakes on the front and guess what? I could not get the driver side brake to bleed!! Took it to a brake shop!! The master cylinder is out and I only have two brakes!! the part cost $374. My payment is $500/mo.

  @weeks 1200miles - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Gary Raymond - March 23 - 2:00 am

  Great on road & off. My job requires that I go off road a lot. The awd outlander is better then I expected. With only a 4cyl. eng. the power to clime dirt triles is amazing. traveling through through raw desert is a pleasure. this little SUV can get you there and back. and it gets about 22mph off road

  Test drive - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By tomcat14 - February 3 - 2:00 am

  Rides like a car, nice interior, lots of places for storage. Did not like how break pedal works. Very soft and has to be pressed all the way down. And now comes the bad news: VERY UNDERPOWERED. Driving a 6 cyl. Maxima now, I would expect different performance from the 4 cyl. car, but 140 HP (even with highly advertised torque) just enough for this car. The engine made a noise and struggled when I tried to merge into highway from an exit. At 55mph it was hard to find extra power boost for passing other cars.
