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.

Outlander 03 - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Dennis - June 30 - 10:40 amIve own this SUV since Dec 02, I must say I couldnt be more pleased. I havent had a bit of trouble except for replacing the brakes at 20,000. The milage is great when I go to Vegas 27-28) but city driving eats up the gas (about 17mpg) Yea, I would buy another one when the time comes.

Great buy - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By ashgad - June 27 - 10:56 pmI bought this car in 2005, needed a larger car for our new baby. It has been such a great buy! It is super reliable, nothing has ever broken down on it and it runs like a champ. It has almost 90,000 miles on it now and is still running as great as the day I bought it. It is awesome in the snow, when we had a huge storm here 2 years ago, I was passing up every other SUV and truck left and right as they all got stuck or slid down a the hill. I would recommend this car to anyone, it has been great for us!

Excellent Value and Fun Too! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By DPiedra - May 13 - 12:40 amThis car has handled well through Ontario winters and through several long trips in hot summer months. Highway driving is very smooth (surpisingly so for a small V4). Interior is nice, but could use a better clock (minor detail though). I find the accelaration a bit slow when entering the highway, but at high speeds, no problem. In city driving, there is no lack of accelaration. Not sure what the folks who say this vehicle lacks acceleration are looking for, racing type acceleration? If so go to high end V8s, this is a great buy and fun to drive too.

Great small SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By RCC - April 21 - 2:00 amIm 60" tall and have plenty of room. While I dont ride in the back, friend who are my height do with little issue. The one thing I liked about the Outlander was the exterior styling. While it is still and SUV, it looks more sporty than most. It definitely stands out. I also cant complain about he AWD. I live near Pittsburgh, PA and didnt have any problems in the snow this winter. The only thing I wanted that mine did not have of the lot was a sunroof, but I added a one-touch power sunroof and love it. I wouldnt hesitate to get another.

Terrific little SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Lady Faire - April 16 - 10:00 amRead the reviews on this and other SUVs before I made my choice(s). Drove the Honda CRV and thought I had a winner. Went immediately down to drive the Outlander while the experience was still fresh in my mind and the Honda was totally blown away! The Outlander is more solid feeling, seems much roomier, is MUCH quieter on the road and handles beautifully. Some of the reviews I had read complained of a lack of zip or get up and go, but I have not noticed any problems at all. Jumps right out there with the big boys and keeps up just fine!

Caution Low Power - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Edward77 - April 1 - 2:00 amBuy this vehicle only if you live in a flat area. The 4 cylinder engine is under powered for any type of hill climbing. We live in Western PA and the engine really strains climbing moderate hills.

exceptional small suv - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By renae - March 21 - 10:00 amDriving this suv was like driving a sedan. It not only handled well, but I had an excellent view from every angle. Some may say it doesnt have a lot of "pep in its step", but it wasnt a problem for me on the freeway. I would like in the future for mitsubishi to offer in its pck. an alarm system and auto on daytime running lights. I love my outlander and so does my husband, and yes I would purchase it again.

best little suv,bar none - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By miami beach - February 24 - 2:00 ami drove the honda,toyota,saturn and was not impressed at all,i found hype more than substance.then i drove the mitsubishi outlander xls and found the real thing a very comfortable and stable ride,suburb handling for a suv a very solid build quality inside and out.everything that i have read complains about this suv being under powered but thats only if you dont know how to drive,i can with the sportronic 4 speed auto if used with some inteligents you can make it get up and move with the best of them so dont beleave all the experts because they have ties to the suvs that they hype.the outlander is the best bar none just go drive one and you will see.

Just got this SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By JoJoFlyboy - January 7 - 2:00 amNice car/SUV, meaning it drives more like a car than the others, Santa Fe, CRV ect. Paid just a bit more than the TMV value on Edmunds for a XLS with "sun and sound" package. Only negative is that you cannot seem to find one, especially in the south with ABS without getting the luxury package also. Mitsu is one of the only companies around that ABS isnt standard or available as a single option. Interior is very nice, except for the gaping hole below the radio for cell phones ect. Ample leg room and headroom, I am 63,my head scraped the top on the Santa Fe. Exterior, still not totally convinced on. SUV is for wife and she likes it a great deal.

Outlander - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By foreman - January 3 - 6:00 amWe have really enjoyed this vehichle. It drives nicely and we have had no problems or concerns with it. It is fun to drive and roomy inside. However we are told it does not hold its resale value. we were also wondering why they can not be purchased in Indiana.
