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.

  The Best Money spent - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By chinna - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I Moved from Loaded 2000 Honda Accord to this one. Infact I liked this one much better. Yes, there are few short comings, but again not for this money. I saw, Edmunds road tests and some other guys reviews, saying power is weak and noise is more, but it better than 150HP Honda Accord, 4WD may be little slow, not this one and engine is very smooth. I compared and Drove CRV and this, I felt this is more comfy, easy to handle. Just drive and see youll love it.

  Mitsubishi Outlander - Love It! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By John Logan - September 24 - 2:46 am

  Bought it in 3/03. Drove it for 40,000 miles and gave it to my son. I took it the other day to change the oil, I miss it! Great little truck! Fun to drive, gives you the feel of a bigger SUV (I have a 4x4 explorer too) gas mileage is good. Comfortable interior and stylish exterior at a great price, very reliable. The 4th Mitsubishi Ive owned, I recommend them highly.

  Terrible Pull to the left - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By BeagleDog - September 12 - 10:00 am

  As soon as I started driving this new vehicle I experienced a severe pull to the left. I assumed it was just out of alignment. However when I called the dealership, service told me the 2003s had a known defect requiring a major repair and I needed to drop the vehicle off for at least a day. Can you sell vehicles with known safety defects? Other than that major flaw, its nice.

  Good bargain! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By litakhing - August 28 - 2:00 am

  The Outlander has surprising amount of control and stability for such a budget-priced entry. I love the manual "Sportronic" shift mode. It makes the Outlander more fun to drive. Nothing inside appears cluttered, but everything seems just right. The instrument panel is simple with a center-mounted analog clock above the comfort and sound system controls. Overall, the new Outlander seems a standout in a field that includes the established likes of Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.

  my new outlander - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By dougboy - June 23 - 2:00 am

  I just bought it but am impressed with comfort and quality overall. Does lack power when punched but seems ok if i just let it climb on its own. For the money i think it is very good in its class.

  Very Happy - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By lczick17 - May 29 - 10:00 am

  Had it 5 months now. Very Happy! My wife and I both have bad backs. These are the most comfortable seats we have ever had. Took about 2K miles for the engine to break in and give 20MPG around town. The dash layout is great, it puts everything at your finger tips. Ive had many people comment on the looks.

  A muscle car - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Big Guns - May 24 - 10:00 am

  A sharp looking vehicle and a enjoyable driving machine. Has a tough look about it which is a eye catcher while driving through town.

  All I Need - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By MostlyCinical - May 11 - 2:00 am

  After driving for a year, it has lived up to my high expectations. I read the reviews of "not enough power," but waited until I drove it to form my own opinion. The clutchless manual gives the passing and highway entrance you want. I the automatic mode is tuned nicely to the engines power. The ride is beautiful. Take it on some windy country roads and go hard into the turns and itll make you smile. Tell your back seat passengers to recline and theyll smile. I found the Infinity stereo to be OK, I had to turn the bass down or it would distort. No mechanical or body probs. Great entrance and exit height. Range is 300 miles between fill-ups.

  Great Vehicle - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By d-rab - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I love our new Outlander. Everything about it is great including the price. My only request is that it had a V6. It has plenty of power with the 4 cylinder but I am a big horsepower kind of guy. It is still great without it, but it would be just that much better with it.
