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.

  surpasses expetations - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By ALANNA - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I had read a number of reviews re the Outlander re its supposed lack of power which made me some what skeptical. I have taken the Outlander up and along the Mountain Highways of Utah and have not experienced a lack of power. This small SUV is fun to drive and Well built. I purchased The Outlander LS on Saturday, May 3, 2003 and with 0% finacing for 60 months plus a 7/70 powertrain warranty I think that I made great Choice. As with all Vehicles not everything is perfect. I Highly reccommend the Outlander.

  XLS AWD w/ all options is a Great Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By mitsuman - June 27 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Outlander since May, and I have enjoyed it ever since. No problems, very reliable. This is a well built, reliable car that is great for a small family. I have 2 boys and it works very well with the car seats. It isnt a rocket, but it is more than suitable for what its intended. We live in hilly, northeast PA and cant complain. Interior is very quiet and its great on trips.

  mighty mite - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By barbie3 - June 27 - 2:00 am

  I say that my Outlander XLS is a baby SUV that hasnt grown up yet. It has all the power of a large SUV but its not all big and bulky. Its super fun to drive especially since I can change between automatic and manual driving without the hassle of a clutch. It has a ton of interior room and that was a must as we are a family of 4 with a lot of hobbies. I was looking at the Toyota Matrix but Im so much more pleased with my Outlander.

  Very good--not excellent. - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By DACNA - June 4 - 10:00 am

  The interior is flawless. Honda could learn something or two from this vehicle. The seats are supportive and very comfortable. The rear seat and space is remarkable considering its a mini-ute. Yes, cargo and power are down, and fuel consumption is not the best. But the torquey punch is great. This engine races to the redline so first gear upshifts need to be guarded while going through the gears. The Freelander is the only other mini-ute to offer a manumatic shifter, albeit a 5 speed.The stereo is clear, accurate, and thumps. The styling is great til you get to the rear (too quasi- econowagon) You should pay about $200 over invoice; I did.

  Traded my Gallant for This??? - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By cm0805 - May 31 - 3:11 pm

  I didnt know when I traded that the same motor that was in my Gallant is also in the Outlander. Good motor, but the Outlander is heavier so it has no get up an go. It also doesnt track well, feels top heavy in the curves. Inside is not plush, but looked good when new. Both Gallant and Outlander had the same problems: after a couple yrs the A/C goes out and the temp control knob (the cheapest design Ive seen) breaks off. The good news: 10yrs, 260k mi and still running like a top. Oil changes and a timing belt is all Ive had to do. My Gallant was the reason I stayed with this brand... 340k, oil changes and 1 water pump. Awesome!

  A very comfortable car, easy to drive, very quite after my last 4x4. Costs less to insure and run.

  I feel like I am driving a sedan. I am very short and I like the hight and the visability. It doesnt look like all the other corss-over suvs out there

  Great Car, Bad Dealer - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Quality Engineer - April 16 - 10:00 am

  Put 1000 miles on car and it drives like a dream. Get 29 MPG overall driving. Thats 75 MPH thru the mts. Who said this car cant climb? It sure can, and no problem either. This car is very satisfying so far. I love it. To bad Mark Mitsubishi is giving Mitsubishi such a black eye thru underhanded delings and false advertising. Oh well, there must be some good dealers out there.
