2003 Mitsubishi Outlander

Pros: Price, Fuel economy, Ride quality.
Cons: Interior quality, Options can get very pricey, Acceleration.

Extremely late in the scene, Mitsubishi has decided to join the band wagon of crossover vehicles/wagons on the market with their very own version titled 'Outlander.' With a base price just a hair under 18 grand, this puts the Outlander's starting...

Pros: Nothing outstanding. Decent styling, handling, and interior.
Cons: Engine very weak, less room than some others.

There are fewer and fewer downright uncompetitive vehicles. However, the Mitsubishi Outlander is one of them. Even though Mitsubishi is very late to the compact SUV fray, it failed to learn from the competition. For some time now Mitsubishi has sold ...

Pros: Solid Feel, basic features done well
Cons: A little Underpowered

Intro Right, a certain person has been calling me a slacker for not writing any recent rev ...

Pros: Low end grunt Suspension setup few thoughtful mods extract big payoff sleeper car
Cons: brakes freeway passing power low better seating position for taller drivers

This review is for the '03 Front Wheel Drive, with no additional options. I am not interested in economy, creature comforts, etc. I am just curious if this car can take my abuse? (of course its my wife's car so I DO have to respect some form of ...

Pros: Access, driving position.
Cons: Slooow, noisy, very skimpy load capacity, handling, fuel economy.

OVERVIEW The new Outlander isn't a well-rounded vehicle. Although access is easy and braking is go ...

Pros: Fairly attractive interior, good ride characteristics, seems pretty reliable
Cons: interior feels "hollow," guzzles gas for a 4-banger, expensive for what you get.

I recently had the opportunity to drive a '03 Outlander rental vehicle for a couple of days. I will ...

Pros: Price, options,style, and 7 year 100000 mile warranty.
Cons: 4 cylinder, and recirculation setting. Get one anyway!

I've owned this SUV for 3 months. I read all the reviews that I could find, which wasn't many, and decided to try it. I compared it to the Mazda, Ford, and Honda. For the price and features, I couldn't pass it up. Most reviews you see will mention the ...

Pros: Comfortable, stylish, sporty, conservative, good amenities like rear cup holders, good performance and safety.
Cons: Horsepower, maybe better brakes (ABS), tires don't hold air well, catches the wind a little.

I love mine! I would buy it again - or maybe I'll just do what it takes to keep it as long as possible (i.e.:new engine when it needs one when the mileage is really high, etc). I have had mine for 9.5 months and have over 16K miles on it - and I am ...

Pros: All-Wheel Drive
Cons: Could flip over at any time!

I had the opportunity of renting this vehicle for 3 days. During this time period, I drove it several hundred miles. I drove it around the Baltimore, MD beltway, twisting side roads, and some of that in the rain.

The handling left a lot to be...

Pros: comfortable interior beautifully reliable mitsu engine
Cons: small cargo area

this is my third mitsubishi and the reliability gets better each time. previous autos had over 250k ...

Pros: Handling, Smooth Ride, Interior Layout, Long List of Standard Features
Cons: A tad underpowered

Hmm, let's see, I could start by saying many things. But when I decided a few months back that I wa ...

Pros: ride quality, quiet, good fuel economy, stylish interior/exterior, plenty of passenger and cargo room.
Cons: none yet.

I've test driven almost every sport utility out there and wasn't very impressed with any of them, until I came across the outlander. It was the perfect combination of what I wanted in a vehicle. It's not made for climbing mountains or anything, but...

Pros: Great Comfort,luxurious,good price, impressive design.
Cons: Leg room,visibility, gas comsuption could be better

This SUV is the best I can own, its impressive design is something new. The gas comsuption really could be better. The price is great for the comfort that it offers. The model XLS is better compared with is model Ls for just $1,500 more. Now the XLS...

Pros: Looks, price and build quality.
Cons: Weak engine.

I have to disagree with most of the reviews on here. They are judging the Outlander as a long haul h ...

Pros: Small, Fun, Factory roof rails, head room, & dependable.
Cons: Power, & limited width for loading in rear because of taillights.

I have owned my 2003 Outlander LS AWD for a year now and will say that hands down it is the best car (SUV) I have ever had. (1982 Dodge Colt, 1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE, & a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ) Ok so I haven’t had that many cars, but I still stand by my decision.

In the 25,000 miles of driving I have been skiing in Tahoe, to the beaches of San Diego, and to the northern California's curves of highway 1 without any problems at all. Going up the mountain it would be nice to have just a little extra power, but I think Mitsubishi has solved that by now using the 160hp MIVEC engines. Do you think they would swap engines for me :-)

I did add tweeters to my stereo system and found out that it is pre wired and already hooked up to the radio! Talk about a plug and play system!!!!
