Suspension worry - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
By davebeat - July 12 - 4:56 pmI have owned the vehicle for only 6 weeks, but have subjected it to all manner of tests and scrutiny. It has only done 106,000 kilometers, looks immaculate inside and out, is very comfortable, handles well and is perfect in every respect bar one -- suspension (or shocks). No one can find anything wrong, yet while very smooth on good roads, smallish bumps and accompanying road noise suggest very rigid suspension. Is this a characteristic?

Wonderful Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Diane/dihp10 - June 23 - 2:00 amI wanted a mid size car that could get thru the snow in New Jersey. This car is it! I have always purchased Chevys, not anymore, this car is great. It handles perfectly in the bad weather and I like the option of manual shifting. I am not an expert in the snow, but this car give me alittle more confidence driving in bad weather.

Super Reliable! - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
By jwmatten - June 4 - 9:07 pmI bought my 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander used in 2006 with 20,000 miles on it. Ive never had ANY issues with this car other than the scheduled maintenance. I only gave it a 4/5 on performance because the 4-cylinder makes it hard to drive up hills.

Good Value, Nice Ride - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
By SF Paul - March 30 - 2:00 amThis Outlander made an immediate impression on me and my wife. The first thing that stood out was the fit and finish of the interior. Nothing about this car feels or looks cheap. Looking at the front end it has a more aggressive appearance, but the rear end doesnt seem to match. The performance is good for a four- banger. Its nimble on the curves, and 160 horses come in handy when passing or getting on the freeway. On smooth surfaces the road noise is nominal and youd swear you were driving a six. Engine noise is nicely buffered too. Im averaging around 22 mpg with plenty of city driving. The mpg drops if you use the Sportronic shifter.

By Matthew A Weldon - March 25 - 10:00 amAll around excellent vehicle. I have owned it only for a month, but I am enjoying it. Mileage could be better.
