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.

  Pleasantly surprised in Hawaii - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By tballer1976 - January 17 - 2:50 pm

  This car was not first choice but it has been dependable for 5+ years! When on the mainland, its been to New Mexico, Las Vegas, & throughout California with no problems. Driven through rain, fog, & desert too. Its great to have for long drives & the MPG is comparable to other SUVs of its type/year. The interior is well spaced, especially for back seat passengers, & the stock sound system is surprisingly good. A/C is still running great too. Only complaint is the front seat headrests. I feel like my head is jutted out too forward. Had to just turn my headrest the other way. Also, maintenance at Mitsubishi dealers can get quite pricey, but it is the dealer after all. Great car!

  Looked Far and Wide! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By KKar21 - January 10 - 10:00 am

  It was time to turn in my much loved 95 Explorer and I wasnt going to settle for anything but style and comfort. I cant believe I found it all in this price range. Ive only had this vehicle for 2 weeks and I already love it! I bought it used with 16,000 miles on it. It still rides and smells like new. The gas mileage is wonderful, especially with todays gas prices going through the roof! Its smooth and so easy and fun to drive.

  Best in its class! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Mariano - January 1 - 2:00 am

  Exactly what my wife expected and need. Nice high quality interior, superb sound system, adequate cargo space, great fit & finish, nice extra gadgets. Of course for my taste I wouldve prefered a 6 cylinders engine, but then again this is not a vehicle for sport cars fans like me. Great car for its price.

  Wake Up & Drive! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By jwk1960 - December 27 - 2:00 am

  We leased a 2000 Montero Sport for 3 1/2 years and loved it. When the time came to turn it in we had a hard time deciding whether to buy out the lease or not. Since we had such luck with the Montero we decided to test drive some of Mitsus other products first before making a decision. My wife drove the Outlander first and it was all over. We left the dealership with one and didnt get out of it the rest of the weekend.

  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!! )

  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.

  Like Mitsubishi But - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Larry Rushton - May 4 - 2:00 am

  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.
