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

Review

We bought our new 05 Endeavor AWD in Jan 2006. I added factory fog lights, rear mudflaps. All the parts were ordered by the dealer and were installed without any trouble. We have 39k on the SUV now and have had Zero problems. Our dealer is Lee's Summit Mitsubishi. They have done a really nice job of taking care of our vehicle. Most of our mileage is in town family and grocery hauling. The vehicle does everything that we want it to do. We average about 18 mpg. On the highway about 20/21. I am about ready to buy new tires as the stock tires are almost gone now. We don't miss the 3rd row seat as we seldom haul more than four people.

Favorite Features

All wheel drive. Plenty of power. Lots of room/head room.

Suggested Improvements

Hate the Always On Headlights. Fog lights should be able to be turned on with the parking lights on. Mitsubishi should go to GM and see how they handle the headlight issue.

Review

I have had absolutely no problems with my 2005 Endeavor LS AWD. It has plenty of power and is comfortable. It looks sporty and overall build quality is very good. It handles very well and is a fairly quiet ride. It has not missed a beat and other than scheduled maintenace it has operated flawlessly. The AWD system is inferior to my Subaru. The stock tires may be part of the problem. I will install new snow tires and see if traction improves.

Favorite Features

Peppy yet fuel effecient motor. Low tire monitoring light. Standard roof rack and great warranty.

Suggested Improvements

The interior material on my LS looks a bit cheap. For a vehicle this good it deserves a decent fabric for the seats. A temperature gauage with the outside temperature reading should be standard on this vehicle.

Not a Bad SUV for even the Truck Lover

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

Review

I was pushed into purchasing an SUV after an auto accident that made it so that I could not get in and out of a truck on a daily basis. This vehicle has great cargo space and ground clearance with the bonus of great fuel mileage. The seats could be a little more comfy but overall I love my Endeavor.

Favorite Features

Great cargo space, good ground clearance for driving on a ranch, 21 MPG highway if not better.

Suggested Improvements

The seats need a little more cushion and the rear could use A/C vents

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

Review

We Love our Mitsubishi Endeavor. It handles like a dream! We have towed our boat on the highway, driven in snow and torrential rain and the vehicle hugged the road the whole time! After test driving 5 competitors, we stumbled onto this vehicle by accident as it was parked in a parking lot beside our old SUV. We said WOW! what's this??? and the rest is history!

Favorite Features

The awesome interior, smooth powerful engine, great looks and finish...we even love the "little robot" as people call it, in the console! I keep forgetting to use the two temperature heated seats!

Suggested Improvements

Separate the back and front wiper control.

Review

Overall my '05 Limited Endeavor has been a pretty good vehicle, but the initial quality issues I encountered have killed my opinion of the brand. I had the thing into the shop eight times in the first couple months.. since then I've had no issues. It drives awesome.

Review

This is my third Mitsubishi vehicle and they have all been exceptional vehicles. As long as they continue to build with the quality vehicles that I have owned in the past I will continue to purchase them. I've owned Ford, Chevy, and Dodge vehicles and none can even come close to the quality and reliability of my Mitsubishi vehicles. The Endeavor is a wonderful vehicle and has power to spare as well as awesome handling. The roominess of the interior is very nice. This is an awesome vehicle.

Favorite Features

Roominess and power.

Suggested Improvements

A little more comfortable seats.

Give it better fuel economy and add 5 speed automatic transmission.

Review

I've had my 2005 Endeavor LS AWD for several months now and I'm very happy with it. It drives like a car - both its general driving and the use of its AWD are smoother than my father's Grand Cherokee. It has been very good in the limited off-roading I've done so far. The towing capacity is a little low, but adequate for my uses. If you're looking for an all-around midsize SUV, this is tough to beat. V6 is a great blend of power and fuel economy compared to others in this class.

Favorite Features

Smooth ride, good power.

Suggested Improvements

Getting the towing capacity up a bit couldn't hurt.

Review

I have had a very good experience with the first 12,000 miles in my Mitsubishi Endeavor. It gets up to 19 mpg highway and 17 in town.

Favorite Features

The cabin access, stereo, and overall appearance.

Suggested Improvements

It needs improved gas mileage and a reduction of road and wind noise.

Review

It has been an excellent vehicle overall. I would diffently buy again. I have not had one single problem with any part of the Endeavor. I love everything about it. Mitsubishi has hit a home run in my ballpark, I will definitly be a Mitsubishi owner for life.

Favorite Features

I love the torque, horsepower and the handling in the AWD is awesome. The Infinity sound system is incredible.

Suggested Improvements

Keep up the good work.
