  By thirdcreek2 - February 1 - 2:00 am

  This SUV has the looks of a Vamp & drives like a Cloud. I have owned over 150 New cars,trucks and suvs and this one is the most fun to drive. It fits like a glove,solid and smooth. It it is like a Links it goes farward with personified awareness.

  Outlander XLS - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Onda - January 29 - 9:10 pm

  We bought our mid-size SUV leaving the orginal Saturn family car. It rides higher than the car. The luxeries are all great, leather interior,heated seats, electric tilt sun roof. For the price and the cost of gas its a positive move in a SUV. Looks great and rides great!

  made a test ride and loved the comfortable and high seating position. needed something for my busy ride to work on the freeway.I was amazed how much power this little vehicle has. especially when using the manual shifter on the transmission.I am very happy with the good looks too.

  Very reliable, nice looking - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Mikey - January 3 - 9:03 am

  I bought this car one year old with 12,000 miles, and it has served me well. Aside from a cooling fan that runs for a short period after the engine is turned off (I ignored the recall), Ive had no problems. Its comfortable, zippy, handles well, and the cargo space with the back seats down is plenty long. Wish it were a little higher, though. I had considered a 2004 Ford Escape (too pricey) and a 2004 Honda CRV (not long enough). Im happy with my pick. My only complaints are that the sheet metal is thin (dings easily), the in- town mileage isnt great (I get about 17 mpg on a 4-cylinder engine!), and wind pulses through the car when the back windows are down.

  purchase for son - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By mi powell - December 13 - 12:20 pm

  bought a 1 year old outlander for my sons 16th birthday (23,000 miles). it was the car of his choice. i was a bit skeptical at first but once i drove the car and looked at the interior features (sound system quality, seating, etc) along with the performance and fuel economy, i was impressed. we make long trips (500+ miles)on the interstate once a month. this car runs along at 80-85 mph with little or no wind noise and the motor is so smooth! in 6 months my other son will be getting his license. trying to find a follow up to this car will be difficult.

  Fun to drive... - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Zelda - October 27 - 10:00 am

  Going from a sedan to a suv I was not sure about whether I would like the drive or the ride. I like both! Handles better and is a quiet ride if not somewhat stiff compared to sedan. I am enjoying it very much.

  So Far So Good - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By brbrsks - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the 2004 Outlander for about a month now. I absolutely love the appearance of it from all angles including the "pointy" front which somehow doesnt look as nice in photographs. The bucket seats are comfortable and roomy. The radio controls are just fine. The many storage spaces throughout the vehicle are well placed and designed, inluding the cup holders with room for coffee cup handles. I have not yet had the chance to calculate my gas mileage but I estimate it to be in the low twentys. The all wheel drive with sixteen inch rims really seems to hold the road even in the rain. Its a great little SUV!

  Safety - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Ken Bynion - September 16 - 5:50 pm

  Overall excellent vehicle. Seats were uncomfortable on longer rides. Safety. Labor day weekend I had a rollover accident, going approximately 50 mph. We wound up on the roof. All 4 of us (ages 72, 69, 65, 59) walked away! Only the windshield broke. 3 of the doors and the tailgate opened so we could get out. The insurance company totaled it. The outlander is safe! We bought a 2008 outlander a few weeks later.
