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.

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

Outlander AWD SUV - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By jf - August 26 - 1:03 pmThe Mitsubishi Outlander is a great mid-size SUV with lots of room inside. It is very comfortable and has a very nice radio system. The bass sounds very good for an SUV. It drives very well in the snow with its AWD. This is a very reliable vehicle when it comes to bad weather. Also, it drives very smoothly. It is not not bumpy. Its easy to control even for younger adults. Its not too big and not to small. The Sports-tronic tranmission is great too. It feels like youre driving a manual transmission when you get bored with the automatic.

Awesome VALUE - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By reliable and fun - August 18 - 9:10 amI bought my 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander used last year and I have put some 12,000 miles on it so far. I am pleased to the attention put into its design, the Outlander is not just another little SUV, it has style. The designer, Olivier Boulay did a great job. The clock on the dashboard has an art-deco appeal and everybody likes it. I love the high-up driving position that I have without giving up the stability of a car-based four wheel independent suspension. The materials are of superior quality and the car is very roomy. I never had a single problem with my Outlander. It is as reliable as it can be!

Rough location, good performance - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By M Furst - August 10 - 2:00 amWhile out of the mainstream, my Outlander is subject to unusual abuse - - I live in China and run this vehicle over roads in serious disrepair. I find the ride over rough serfaces to be pretty good (maybe a reflection of Mitsubishiss long off-road exp.). The engine is pretty good in this iteration of the Outlander. Plenty of power (presumaly the 160 horse version), yet fuel efficient enuf for the high gas prices here. I look forward to running it in the snow but will have to wait til next year for that.

surpasses expetations - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
By ALANNA - July 22 - 10:00 amI 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 amIve 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 amI 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 amThe 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.
