This Year's Model Updates:

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.

  • A Reliable alternative - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    This SUV has quality. You can feel it in the way it drives and feels. I would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a good-looking small SUV similar to the Honda CRV but much better than the RAV-4. You must shop around first. Here are some choices to look at: Jeep Liberty Suzuki Grand Vitara Mitsubishi Outlander Honda CRV Ford Escape Toyota RAV4 Mazda Tribute Mitsubishis are really good cars. So are Hondas. I would stick with either of them, but styling is a little different.

  • Just got one - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    I took the plunge on the Outlander. Similar cars (outback, rav4 etc) in its class dont even come close on the amenities/ style. This car has exceeded my expectations in every way. I tested it out in the snow, freezing rain and I couldnt be happier with it. Oh and BTW if youre concerned about the small (140hp) engine, dont worry. I was initially concerned about this too from all the posts I read, but these are from folks who are expecting a 200hp monster truck or a sports car. IMHO, this car can handle its own... But anyway, it is so much fun to drive, why rush?!

  • Excellent Vehicle - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    The only thing wed change about the Mitsubishi Outback is the back seats should completely flatten. If they made this a hybrid version of it Id by it in a minute.

  • BUY THIS CAR - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    If you have not looked into this vehicle, you are missing something BIG. I was in the market for a new vehicle and was there the day these were put on the lot, my wife and I looked all over for a used car with low mileage for under 25,000. We saw the sticker on the outlanders and were absolutley amazed at the 16000 price tag.

  • What a Find! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    This is my first SUV. I love the control i have of the seat. Im not used to the elevated position for parellel parking, thats when i raise the seat up so i can see all corners. Im a city girl, so parellel parking is my only way to park. What i thought would be difficult is really a cinch. i love the privacy windows. i love the nice smooth ride and the confidence of the pick up the Outlander has to its horsepower. The aero-dynamics of the front end are marvelous compared to the other competitors. This is quite exciting having come from driving a Dodge Neon with faulty engineering.

    Liked the seating Position and comfort. Traded in 2000 Honda Accord. I found this one very peppy around town and even highways.I felt this is better than Accord in driving and handling.

  • Safety First - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I have owned a few suvs and the mitsubishi outlander is by far the best i have owned. It has great styling, perfect ride, plenty of room and the back seats recline, how cool is that. the only problem i have is the gas millage could be a little better. But the best thing about it is, i was hit in the front passenger side at about 30 mph and i had about $4500 in damages. i know it sounds like alot but the other car, a 2003 nissan maxima was completely totaled (the engine even fell out). i highly recomend the Outlander.....

  • Love it, BUT - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I didnt think I would like just from the comercial, but once I saw it in person and drove it, my wife and I loved it. Only have about 1300 miles on it and the only complaints so far is it pulls to the right and the rattling sound while accelerating. It is a distinct seperate sound from the engine, exactly in time with the accelerator. Bringing back to the dealer for evaluation on 4/25.

    We went in to look at the Galant and found the basic version of this vehicle to be of similar price. We test drove it and fell in love. It is perfect for us - small but with the AWD we really need in our climate. We opted for the totally loaded version and are very pleased.
