Endeavor is Built to Endure

2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor XLS AWD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Overall I have had my Mitsubishi Endeavor now for about a year and have put about 15,000 miles on it. So far it has had no problems what so ever. I have been on many different trips, some distances of 700 miles. I also have been on many back roads and country areas and it still performs perfectly. The snow is nothing in this thing, you have no problems getting around. Only thing I wish was that the interior was a little nicer, such as an improved dash and seats. But overall I think its my favirote SUV under $40,000.

Favorite Features

The blue dash lighting, big mirrors, exterior appeal, and ride quality.

Suggested Improvements

Change the dash color and improve the cloth seats.

Review

The 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor is easy to handle and turns and parks more easily than I ever imagined. Its gas mileage is not as bad as some fellow SUV owners get. The Endeavor gets 23 mpg compared to a friend's Explorer Eddie Bauer at 16 mpg. It has classy lines and design. I can now haul vertical blinds and bigger items.

Favorite Features

The air conditioner is really cold! The stereo is really clear and loud!

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

My 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor's ride is secure and stable. The road noise can be a little harsh, but I feel safe in this vehicle. The versatility has been useful, carrying everything from groceries to furniture. My only beef with the vehicle is the premium fuel requirement.

Favorite Features

Its versatility.

Suggested Improvements

Give it more insulation to reduce road noise.

Why I will Never Buy Another Car

Review

I have had nothing but excellent experiences with this vehicle! I live in snow country NY and my Endevor doesn't even know that it is there! I go all over my rugged terrain yard and I love how much room is available inside. This is a great feature with kids!

Favorite Features

Favorite features include the seatbelt warning (will beep when driver not buckled), all the room in the center console, the cup holders in the back, the 2/3 seat split in the back, the blue lights on the dash and the gas tank 2 gallon warning. Oh, and the increadable warranty!

Suggested Improvements

I can't think of any way to make this vehicle better than it already is.

Blind spot

2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited Fwd 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Only one draw back, between the windshield corners and the front doors, thereis a blind spot that you have to get use to and physically adjust to compensate. Other then that, it is a very well built vehicle. I would recomend the Endeaver to my friends and familly.

Favorite Features

Comfort of the seats.

The Sport in Sport Utlity

2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited Fwd 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

The vehicle is very nice. I wish I had purchased the AWD version. The motor is so "torquie" that often I spin tires when trying to get going quickly. The seats are nice and the added comfort of driving a limited with side frame re-inforcements makes the vehicle seem more truck-like. This is a nice one indded but the usual inconveniences from a manufacturer like Mitsubishi are there too. Molding, Molding, Molding.....Stuff does have a way of popping off of this thing for seemingly no reason at all. Sunroof privacy cover handle, radio/ ac knobs...Screw covers in the luggage rack.. Still I have to say that I love mine and would buy another without a doubt!

Favorite Features

The engine has nice response and can get you in and out of traffic at the drop of a dime. Fuel consumption can be a bit much but at the same time....You cannot have the drive train from The Montero and expect RAV-4 small engine performance.

Suggested Improvements

Molding fasteners could be improved, radio needs to be better design...Increases longevity if you keep vehicle and develop problems...Aftermarket radios would suffice. Tire size is great but would rather see a slightly wider stance...Maybe offroad rubber would do the trick in some sport package

Review

The tires are horrible and I feel unsafe in the rain. The best mpg to date is 15.4, even on the highway. I wish there was a switch to turn of the daytime running lights when I'm just sitting in the car listening to the radio. The back seats don't fold completely flat. The rear passenger area should have a dome light. The dash texture just traps dirt and dust. The A/C vents cannot be individually switched off. There are no vents in the back seat. The gearshift indicators are not illuminated. If we have that little computer in the front, why not have an available OnsSar, GPS, or nav system available? Or estimated MPG calcular? Or optional satelite radio?

Favorite Features

Continued from above: The seats should have 2 memories for additional drivers. The rear mirrors need to be adjusted when backing up to tilt down automatically.

Suggested Improvements

There wasn't enough room here, so I listed them all above. Don't get me wrong, I really love the way this car looks and handles. However, the above observations really need to be addressed.

Handles like a car

Review

The Mitsubishi Endeavor is much better than the discontinued Montero Sport. It handles well, and the alternative dual transmission is fun to drive and play with.

Favorite Features

Dual transmission. The fact that the cigarette lighter provides power even if car is off. Two cigarette lighter sockets in front, 1 in the back passenger and one in the rear cargo space.

Suggested Improvements

Add a change holder.

The 2005 Endeavor

Review

The Endeavor is all that it is suppose to be, and more. Mileage could be a little better, however. I believe that it is one of the best values around. Low end torque is amazingly similar to my BMW 528i.
