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.

  Maybe all SUVs are boring. But I find this one to be really plainsville.

  Best Money I ever Spent - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By lionesse2015 - November 5 - 5:21 pm

  This is the most awesome car I have driven to NY and Ga on many occasions. I bought the car used with 14k mikes on it today 12years later and 13 years old its at 214k. Awesome on gas unassuming and just an all around dream. I am in the market for a new car right now and fear I will never find something as good as my outlander.

  Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By PMB - November 2 - 3:13 pm

  I have owned more than two dozen new cars in my lifetime, and this one wins hands down for being the most reliable one. Nothing else even comes close!!! I had it for almost six years and had to trade it in at 165K miles due to insurance premiums on multiple cars. It still ran like a dream, and I hated to see it go. Of course, I faithfully changed my oil with high quality products every 3000 miles. This one is really easy to do it yourself.

  Love my Outlander - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Sandy - October 29 - 9:56 am

  Ive had my 2003 Outlander for 3.5 years now, and have had zero problems with it. It still rides, looks, and feels brand-new. Its true that I dont put a lot of miles on my vehicles, but its been totally reliable in every way. I am planning on upgrading to the new 2007 version as soon as it comes out.

  The Most Reliable Vehicle I Ever Owned - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Mister Digger - October 23 - 6:43 am

  This is my fifteenth car in 20 years, so for this one to give me almost no trouble for 160,000 miles is truly remarkable. The AC went out at about 100K miles, just after doing a major overhaul as preventative maintenance (the timing belt was still good). The latch on the drivers side rear seat also went out at about 80K miles, but that was very minor. With gas prices soaring and me griping about only getting 24 MPG in this SUV, I did the unthinkable and tried to trade it in on a gas saving economy car. Well, I should thank the sales manager for giving me an insult of an offer for trade-in. I canceled the deal and kept this vehicle. If it works, dont fix it!

  Great small SUV! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By equ - October 2 - 10:00 am

  Enjoy my newly bought Outlander! The best I can find within the compact SUV class, the internal space is bigger compare to RAV4 or CR-V, try it before you buy others.

  NEW SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By kep5 - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Unfortunatley I dont feel like Im in an SUV anymore. This vehicle is more lke a car. It is very comortable though. I really enjoy the interior. I will be taking it for its first camping trip soon and Ill report back with how it handled on the unpaved roads.

  Great SUV for the price - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By el cow - August 25 - 10:00 am

  The Outlander is a great value. It has so many more standard features than other SUVs and it is cheaper than them too. I would recommend this SUV to anyone using it for daily driving. Unfortunately it does not come with a V6, so it is a little slow and would not be good for towing large objects. The exterior and interior of the Outlander are very well designed and it is pretty sporty for an SUV.

  Awesome Ride - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Greg Aumann - June 1 - 2:00 am

  The ride and comfort is exellent. The power and gas mileage is excellent. The comment about not enough power is misleading. This is not a sports car. Much more room than the Hyundai SantaFe and Honda CRV, especially Rav4. Would recommend it to anyone. Drive it to believe it.

  One of the best purchases to make - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By JMH - May 27 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my 1.8T for this (yes I am growing up or whatever I guess), so to me it had no power what-so-ever, but Im not the most unbiased based on my former vehicle. Once I got used to the idea that I was no longer going to see the acceleration, I got quite used to the adequate engine. Also, by switching to clutchless shifting for freeway ramps you can keep the car in a better gear. Cup holders are placed in a position where I have to take my eyes off the road in order to locate my can of Coke. Maybe I just havent owned it long enough though. Small, small issues with an otherwise great vehicle.
