2004 Mitsubishi Outlander LS AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I've had it a little over 3 years now, been consistent with my regular maintenance and have not had one issue with it -- it's 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 you're in a tractor trailer! Definitely am happy I made the decision I did and "loving it"!!

2004 Mitsubishi Outlander LS Fwd 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I love this SUV. I drive it 30,000 miles a year and has 95K on it now and still runs like new. I have used it to haul my small camper and have really abused this car, but it continues to work like a dream. While its design is pretty extreme, it allows the car to look as new and trendy as the other crossovers being released today. I will keep this thing forever if I can, and if it dies, it am so pleased I am likely to go out and purchase another Outlander.
Favorite Features
The styling of this car is great! I also love the shift-tronic feature. Towing my camper in the mountains would have been very difficult without this feature.
Suggested Improvements
I think this car would have been perfect as a hybrid model or a V6 - and Mitsubishi chose to go with the more affordable V6 route with their new models (and a third row!).

2004 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I have driven Mercedes all my life. A few months before my lease on a 230 Komressor SLK expired I started SUV shopping. I test drove multiple makes and models and out of all of them, the Mitsubishi Outlander was the best. It met my requirements for price, fuel economy, warranty, speed, design, and usefulness. After test driving a bunch of SUVs in it's class I fell in love with my Outlander. Great job Mitsubishi!!!
Favorite Features
I love the headrests :-) and the reclining back seat. Mainly it looks and drives awesome. Also it gets great gas milage for an AWD I get about 25 mpg on long distanst trips with the air conditioning on and going about 70 mph.
Suggested Improvements
It needs to have easy to find/or standard cross bars. I am having such a hard time finding them in the aftermarket.
Good Buy

Review
I have had my eye on this type of vehicle for some time and decided to take one for a test drive. The Outlander is smooth, comfortable and very quiet. I have been driving minivans for the past 11 years and it was time for a change now that it is mainly just my wife and myself when we take a drive. I am counting on getting better fuel economy as well.
Favorite Features
AWD for winter driving, the fact it has a Mitsubishi engine (one of the best), the comfort & quietness of the interior, and an exterior look that is unparalleled in this price range.
Suggested Improvements
The gas mileage could be better by 15-20%.
Great for the price

Review
I've enjoyed owning this SUV. I've gotten compliments on the style and raves from friends who have borrowed it. It is great for driving on the beach, even in loose sand it handles quite well. I wish the gas mileage was better though.

Review
I used to have a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport which I absolutely loved. However, the Mitsubishi Outlander is a nice change because of the larger interior space and more height for better visibility. For those who are taller, the slope of the windshield can make it a little difficult to see. It handles fine, but if you are changing from a car, be prepared for different handling. The steering is very responsive.
Favorite Features
Every aspect of the interior is great. I like the ease of getting everything in and out of the back - it's the perfect height!
Suggested Improvements
On a long trip, my mother complained about the backseat being hard.

Review
My wife and I bought our Mitsubishi Outlander as our first child was about to be born and both of us had coupes. We searched and searched and found ours. Neither of us like the big gas guzzling SUVs, but needed something with a little more space and access, The Outlander has just enough of everything...gas mileage / space / style.
Favorite Features
Simple yet modern interior, sleek styling for a "famiily vehicle", privacy glass, plain looking CD deck (nobody will break in to steal it) has good sound. We both love the dash.
Suggested Improvements
The clear coat scratches easily.
Great SUV!

I have put 8,000 miles on this little gem and very happy with it overall. For the price you can't go wrong. Mine is rock solid and dependable. It could get a little better gas mileage.
Favorite Features
Cool auto/manual transmission.
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage.

Review
Bought this car thinking it would be a good median for everything, I was wrong. I have had the car for 6 months and its been in the dealership 5 times (3 for problems). Most noteably is an engine rattle that seems to come and go. The car sounds like a 12 year old Buick. This was a sad regrettable purchase. Just about everything else in the car rattles to, and I have babied the car...
