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.

Pros:
  • Roomy and comfortable ride, peppy around town, solid handling.
Cons:
  • Lacks punch for passing, distracting audio controls.

  • It all fell apart! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I really liked my 2003 outlander when I bought in in 2004, but soon after that I found it had many problems. Every summer water fills inside my air conditioner and causes it to short out causing a new blower motor to be replaced. This wasnt all covered by warranty and they could never figure out why it would do this. Also my entire suspension has been changed and only a year later its already squeaking. Also our temp dial doesnt rotate freely anymore, the cable designed badly and has been replaced once already. There are also numerous issues with this model and Mitsubishi wont do recalls on. Overall I would not purchase another one!

    After alot of research, I had settled on the Honda CRV - but decided to drive the Outlander anyway because of the great finance deals. I never went back to Honda - the Outlander looks great (especially in silver) and drove very well. The seats are excellent, the interior was very well though out and overall the car was just what I wanted for long (500 mile commutes with kids) and driving around town. Also a great vehicle for cyclists - getting a roof rack on the top soon! Overall, a great value compared to the higher priced competitors - check it out.

  • Saved our Lives - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    Our Outlander saved me, my daughters and her friends lives! Tonight we were in a terrible car accident where I went into a ditch and my truck flipped over three times! We all had our seatbelts on, the back windows shattered OUT the car, the sides got bangged up, but the doors never caved in, the roof and hood were badly smashed. When people passed the vehicle, they were horrified...and could not believe we were alive! I am going to buy another...as I feel it truly saved us....I give it a five star safety rating...thanks Mitsubishi!

  • Old reliable - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I bought this car because the year-end price was too good to refuse (despite not being crazy about the ext styling), but am amazed at the reliability. Almost 80k miles on it and only oil changes/checks & recall replacements. Now needs a new battery. Roomy interior, comfortable on a 2k mile trip. Gas mileage better than expected (average 23-24MPG overall).

  • Great commuter, not bad comfort - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    This car is great for commuting and could be more comfortable... went on many long trips with it and its good... I would consider buying another newer model in future.

    I love my Outlander, it handles really well, it;s very comfortable and great to run around and do errands in. The height is just right for getting in and out. I find all the controls easy to use, and the sound system is great. My only complaint is the gas mileage. Its not that great but maybe thats becasue everyone in my house wants to use it all the time.

  • Low price, good quality, fun to own - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    Lot of car for the money. Most of needed stuffs is standard equipment Interior is quiet and roomy. The 4 cylinders engine is ok, has enough power for cruising around town and freeway. Reviews from Edmunds.com, Car&Driver ... said its underpower. I guess whoever drove test this car maybe living somewhere in the mountain region? But it will be nice if Mitsu give us a choice of V6 or 4 cylinders with turbo as an option. Audio control buttons are too small that reminds me of Walkman stereos button. I pick this car out of my shopping list: Rav4,Honda CR-V, Mazda Tribute.
