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.

  Solid car - very pleased - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Jane - September 20 - 12:13 am

  We purchased our car 1 year used with about 12000 miles on it. Weve been very happy with it. Like any car that is now 6 or so years old, it has a few rattles and such, but not many. It has not had any major issues (regular maintenance only), other than a known issue with the dash AC/Heat selector. Now I must switch from AC to heat from under the dash or pay to fix it (around $1500, so I wont do it). Mileage is right around 20mpg for mix of around town and highway. Its very comfortable to drive and ride in - we regularly make 8+ hour treks in the car and find it very comfy. The car has held up well over the years. Very happy with it.

  so far, so good - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Pirate-King - September 15 - 2:00 am

  like many others, I was NOT looking at the OUTLANDER...I was deciding between the PATHFINDER ( which is too expensive) and the FORRESTER ( which is too "soccer-mommy" for me ) But after driving the OULANDER, I was impressed, and bought it on the spot. Saved THOUSANDS over the aforementioned autos as well. EXCELLENT handling, and smooth, effortless shifting in sport mode. The stereo has a little less wattage and thump than I like, but that is being kinda petty. Overall, I would recommend this SUV to anyone ( UNLESS you intent to off-road..this is NOT the SUV for that!! )

  Great Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By myke - July 4 - 10:00 am

  Have had our Outlander about 6 weeks now. Havent found anything wrong yet. Starts right up, runs great. Comfortable, easy in, easy out. Bought it primarily to be an economical cruiser around town, handles that flawlessly. On the highway, Ive had it up to 80, cruised at 70, felt safe & secure. First foreign vehicle, extremely pleased with it so far.

  super fun! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By mdt - May 27 - 2:00 am

  We havent owned our Outlander for long, but we sure are enjoying it. Its peppy off the line, despite its 4cl. engine. But the extras we got, and the way cool looking body, make up for that. If you are looking at a CR-V (like I was), take the time to test out an Outlander.

  Mitsubishi builds solid vehicles. No exception here. Design, comfort, convenience, reliabilty all super. Sound system best Ive ever had. Handles and rides in a very smooth manner.

  Ute for the wife - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By conservative1 - April 8 - 2:00 am

  My wife had a late model Grand Prix that she loved, but she has mild lower back probs and needed something taller. The Outlander fit the bill! She loved it from the moment she laid eyes on it. The only other vehicle she really cared anything about was a PT Cruiser GT that our local dealership gave us a really good price on (absolutely loaded for $21,500). The Outlander keeps up with most V8s on the road. Unfortunately, it gets around the same gas mileage as the big motor SUVs. The size is just right. It looked kinda big on the Mitsu lot, but its not a big car. Yes, its more like a car than a truck.

  By Jennifer - March 12 - 7:10 am

  Ive had my Outlander for almost two years and I am very happy with it. Its very reliable and the performance is good. It is easy to get in and out of and the trunk compartment is easily accessible.

  By roger - February 11 - 4:30 am

  I purchased the 2003 Outlander AWD new and have only had oil changes, tires and a couple recalls since. Its been a very reliable, versatile and economical vehicle.

  More for a lot less!! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By AVANANNA - February 8 - 2:00 am

  This is a wonderful SUV and less expensive than traditional SUVs. I was very surprised at how great the gas mileage was and very happy about the roominess of the back seat. Both car seats fit perfectly with a fold down arm rest suitable and within reach of the sippy cup and bottle. Although the cargo area isnt very large, it will accomodate a bulky jogging stroller. I think the Outlander overall is a great roadtrip car, peppy, roomy, great gas mileage, SAFE and stylish.
