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.

  Excellent Value and Fun Too! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By DPiedra - May 13 - 12:40 am

  This 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 am

  Im 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 am

  Read 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!

  exceptional small suv - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By renae - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Driving 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 am

  i 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.

  Outlander - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By foreman - January 3 - 6:00 am

  We 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.

  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.

  Great small SUV! - 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

  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.

  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.
