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.

  • Best car we have ever purchased - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    This is the best SUV we have ever purchase. The gas mileage is better than most, it drives so smoothly, and it is so fun to drive! We have owed other SUVs with varing success, and the Outlander has been the best.

    The Mitsubishi Outlander is the best car that I have ever owned in 36 years of car ownership. Its dependable, fuel efficient, has a comfotable ride, and sporty style. Change the oil...fill it with gas...and enjoy. My Outlander has not had any problems in 31,000 miles.

  • As happy as could be - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I have owned this vehicle for a couple years now, I purchased through Hertz rental sales (great experience). I really, really love this car! It is great in snow, rain, shine, fog, city, on freeways or on backroads. I understand some are not happy with the horsepower, but what do you expect? This car is a 4-cyl. and costs under $20,000 used. Nothing has broken and it has not broken down, unlike my friend who has to take her VW Golf in once a month because every little thing breaks on her car. I would absolutely buy this again, although I dont have much need for AWD...it is nice to have but I think it is bad for the gas mileage. You may want a car with better gas mileage if you commute a long way.

  • It IS Good! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    Bought it for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The 4 cyl is fine even though reading a lot about it being underpowered. Got the loaded model and the heated seats are great- however we wish the gear shift lever had lights for Park, Reverse ect, as of now they are lit up on dash. 1 recall allready, now its pulling to right and dealers says factory fix suggestions are not working so probable be another recall for that.

  • I it lots and bunches - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

    My Outlander started as a rental unit but now has a home. I drive it in East Idaho in the deep snow drifts we get here and black ice conditions with no problems. On warmer days it zips along nicely on the freeway. On railroad crossings and bumpy back country roads it does rattle a bit, but the reviews mentioned that and it is not a problem. It tracked well when I stomped on the brakes to see how they did on an icy road-tracked straight ahead and continued ok when I let off the brakes. It does build up road slush in winter conditions in the wheel wells but it is easy to clean out when I stop. A great vehicle, looks good, rides nice. Looking forward to seeing how it does in the summer.
