  • SUV-just the right size - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I traded in my subaru WRX wagon because I needed something bigger and cheaper (to fuel and to insure). While I loved the performance of my WRX, it wasnt a car that was easy to drive. And two adults in the backseat were definitely cramped. The Outlander has a big trunk but also room for adults in the backseat. The controls (cruise, radio, etc.) are easily accessible for the driver. The XLS comes with most of the options I wanted; I upgraded to the sunroof and enhanced radio package, though. The additional speakers sound great. The sunroof is a little clunky-fully open doesnt seem that open.

    After 3 Chevy Astro vans driving this car is fun. The gas mileage in town is about 20mpg and about 23mpg on the hwy. The sun and sound package is a great addition. It looks like a Lexus from the rear and a Pontiac from the front.

    Ive had it a little over 3 years now, been consistent with my regular maintenance and have not had one issue with it -- its been great through all the crazy weather CT throws at us -- heat, cold, rain, snow, ice. For its size, it gives you enough of a height above the traffic to make you feel comfortable but not feel like youre in a tractor trailer! Definitely am happy I made the decision I did and "loving it"!!

  • gas guzzler with a little 4 cyl - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander

    Its a great "MINI SUV" the only downfall that I have experienced is it gets HORRIBLE gas mileage.. I have a Ford Explored with a 4.0 6 cyl that does equal or better on gas..

  • Mitsi Outlander is a good choice! - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    We intended on purchasing a Ford Escape. The salesman said we couldnt afford it, even w/2 trade-ins. We were disappointed. We liked & checked out the Honda CRV & Nissan Xterra. We took the Outlander for a 24hr test drive. It actually feet like a 6cyl! The exterior is similar to the Lexus RX300. I got used to the interior, not much to look at. We liked the Pontiac Vibes interior better, but it sounded like a wind-up toy. The Outlander has a nice amount of space. You dont see too many on the road. Purchased for $21,000 & 5,000 miles + warranties.

    Purchased my outlander with 93k, now at 109k. So far no issues, smooth ride, decent gas mileage overall solid car for $7500. I was told there may be suspension issues with this model, but nothing too serious from my experience so far. Its put a smile on my face and would recommend to buyers looking to spend under 10k on a crossover with lots of room for storage. If this car had either a turbo or V6 it would be 10x better lol.

  • The car is good - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I have been continously suprised by the performance of my Outlander. We recently came over the mountains in the snow and the car performed remarkabley. I am able go faster than is safe and able to get up to speed and keep up with other higher performing cars that is acceptable. My wife and I purchased this car for her benefit, she wanted a car she was comfortable with in terms of size. I initially wanted to get the endeavor, but I think the outlander was a better purchase in terms of cost and efficiency.

  • good family car - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander

    Overall, very good. Dependable, handles well. A little cramped on long trips, but good fuel economy.

  • THE 2003 OUTLANDER LS AWD - 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GREAT CAR, BECAUSE IT HAS GOOD LOOKS ,BUT IT NEEDS A STRONGER ENGINE MORE POWER AND A MANUAL BOX. MAYBE A INLINE SIX CYLINDER WITH GOOD TORQUE WOULD BE NICE.

    Love the Outlander, but the mileage leaves alot to be desired. We get 20 city and 23 highway. Is this what others are getting?
