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

Review

I acutally purchased my Endeavor in the Fall, 2003. It was a great value at the time and I have not been disappointed. This is a neat mid-SUV with all the amenities that I need without extras I won't use. I love it! This is my third fourth Mitsubishi and I will continue coming back...they are well built vehicles for much less cost than competitors.

Favorite Features

The quality is amazing. I have over 22,000 miles so far with not a squeek or rattle. Every American made car I had was falling apart by this time.

Suggested Improvements

Make vents so that you can turn them off individually if so desired.

Review

I bought the Endeavor because I needed a safe and reliable car for my family. I have two small children and this car is perfect. It has a hugh amount of space in the back (enough to fit my double jogger with room to spare), and has all the amenities a family car should have. Front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, DVD player, leather interior(which is great for those spills), it is so fun to drive and I really feel safe. I love this car!

Favorite Features

Leather interior, DVD player, front and side air bags

Suggested Improvements

Don't touch it! It's perfect.

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

Review

I have owned several domestic and import SUVs, this is by far the best value! The ride is second to none, quiet and powerful. I love the techtronics shift, it is more responsive than the one in my wifes 2006 VW Jetta. The Endeavor has solid, in control feel over the road, be it twisting back roads or the highway. It has a solid SAFE feel. It's handling in foul weather is superb. The cabin is very comfortable. I love the milage, you do not need a V8 to get performance, this vehicle seems to have adequate power towing my 17' boat. I am very pleased and purchased this vechicle after driving the Toyota Highlander, Honda CRV and Pilot, Ford Explorer and Ford Escape. My Endeavor was the best buy!

Favorite Features

Body styling, techtronics shifter, 17" alloy wheels and all wheel drive. The cloth interior is bulletproof! 100,000 mile drive train warranty!

Suggested Improvements

The gear shift selector lights up on the dash in the instrument cluster, however it should be illuminated at the shift selector on the consule as well.

Review

Overall this is a great SUV. It's snappy. It's manuverable. It handles 75 cu ft. of cargo and it has good visiblity our all windows. Overall I love this vehicle! I'll get another when I tire of this one.

Favorite Features

The Power! The powerband peaks at 3500 rpm and that makes this puppy GO! The handling on twisting roads is great too.

Suggested Improvements

Navigation system. Better protection on rear bumper when loading cargo. Flatter folding rear seats. A rear wiper that doesn't require on to go to a dealer for replacement.

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

Review

I had a Mitsubishi Montero for 10 years. I decided to change to another Mitsubishi as the experience had been fine. I went to see different alternatives though and still decided to stay within Mitsubishi. I did not know about the Endeavor until I saw it in a Car Fair and when seating in front of the wheel and feeling the inside I said this is the SUV I want. I have enjoyed it so far. Good response, confortable, fast in highways, stable. However not an economic vehicle.

Favorite Features

Look, fast response, easy to drive.

Suggested Improvements

More fuel economy and there is a blind space in the front window that can block your view when turning.

Fabulous Vehicle

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

Review

An absolutely terrific vehicle and superb service from the dealer. I test drove at least 15 SUVs before even looking at this one. I was afraid of the Mitsubishi name. There is not a negative about my experience since purchasing. The pickup, both from dead stop and highway pickup is superior to all others I test drove. The dash design is ultra modern and sharp. Seats afford total long distance comfort. I've owned a Nissan Quest, Nissan Axxess and driven many other mini vans and SUVs as rentals and test drives. This is hands-down the best of the lot.

Favorite Features

Dash display, ride, pick up, exterior look, excellent sound system.

Review

I had a radiator leak that was repaired promptly. Towing was quick. Customer service was fast and courteous. I like the ride and feel of the interior. Any concerns I had are put to rest by a positive experience with this first repair.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

A screen to protect the radiator under the front bumper. More comfortable headrest. Change the look of the front interior console. Too boombox looking.

All around great vehicle. Great in snow (AWD). Very repsonsive and sporty, but also absorbs the bumps in the road very well. I would buy this vehicle again.

Best Kept Secret

Review

We love the Endeavor! We hadn't even considered this SUV when we went car shopping and happened upon a great deal, did a little research and ended up getting the Mitsubishi Endeavor. It has been so nice to have! Everyone that ever rides with us ends up loving it too. I'm surprised that they haven't advertised it very much (at least where we live) I see several of them on the road now in my area, but it looks like they're still the best kept secret in the SUV market.

Favorite Features

EVERYTHING!

Suggested Improvements

More cup holders- and ones that hold the bigger sized cups.

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

Review

I like it a lot - great on gas for an SUV. Sometimes not thrilled with a loose sounding noise from the engine when accelerating, and the interior has a ton of wind noise. Also having minor problem with the trim on the bumper (under the liftgate.) But overall a nice car. Depreciated WAY too fast though - unsure why.

Favorite Features

Dash layout, 6 disk in dash with no cartridge, AWD, cargo cover, ONE floormat across the back seat.

Suggested Improvements

Engine noise and wind noise need major improvement. A V8 would be the icing on the cake. Also not happy with seat comfort, and I got the XLS. (Is worse in the LS.) Lastly I really wanted a sunroof, but they only offered in the LTD model, which has ONLY leather seats. Not good for Vegas. (Hot)
