opinion
The side molding on my 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor came off first week. The A/C went out twice. Had squeak & grind noise in steering wheel. Replaced steering column at about 15,000 miles. Seats squeak. Radio (am/fm) & CD makes awful noise. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem, but does every time I drive car. Working on that now! Needs another set of mud guards. Stays dirty but do not make for 2004 model. Front dashboard scratches real easy and cannot be cleaned or buffed out. Side mirrors have good visibility, but are a pain when trying to reach a drive thru window. Cloth seats are already wearing out threads with only 21,000 miles.

Sporty & Relaxing
Good drivability and riding comfort. Attractive exterior/interior design. Quality audio. Reasonably priced.
No reason to look anywhere else
This was the best buying experience ever due to the quality and professionalism of our sales rep. The last time I bought a car was 10 years ago, so I was very apprehensive. I looked at a couple other SUV's and was totally sold on this one. The comfort and aesthetics of this vehicle are unbelieveable. It's more than what I was looking for. We drove it home that night - why look anywhere else?
Mostly Happy So Far
The buying experience was excellent compared to five new purchases in the past from other dealerships. The Endeavor has met all of our expectations with the exception of mileage. The ride is excellent.
My Endeavor
Great car-like SUV. Attractive styling, good handling and good gas mileage for an SUV. Nice audio equipment. However, I've only had the vehicle for 4 weeks, and already the power windows have failed and an interior storage compartment has broken.
Love it!
I love my endeavor! It rides so smoothly. I got the belts changed as recommended and haven't had any problems. It gets pretty good gas mileage for an SUV. I've been very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.
Rental
I have not yet purchased this vehicle. I had it as a rental and loved it. Seriously considering getting one. Very nice ride. Built like an SUV, although rides very smooth. Lots of pep. Fun to drive.
Niche Vehicle
Perfect for us DINKS who drive 90%+ on road, and 10% off. Very sporty, drives like our Maxima! Love the NO third seat option! Roomy, practical and gets surprisingly good gas mileage. Sound system is good, but not as good as the Bose system of other cars. Inside door is a little cheap, but overall quality is good.
ENDEVOR DREAM MACHINE
TAKE OFF FROM LINE WOW RESPONSE WOW ROOM AND HANDLING WOW VIEWING GREAT COLOR AWSOME TOTAL HAPPINES WITH MY NEW ENDEVOR
Joined The Club!
I purchased the 2004 Eddeavor in May of 2003 and for a month and a half I didn't see another one anywhere! In a town as big as Chicago that's unusual.I bought the Limited loaded! Black with saddle brown enterior. For a mid size SUV it handles extreamly well.Off road it has been an unexpected workhorse.Everywhere I go people stop me and ask if they can check it out. For a while I felt like I was in some kind of elite club. It's easy to keep clean,the sound system is nothing short of perfect.Breaking is on a dime.The suspension off road and on is great.I feel like I belong to special club.I'm one happy Endeavor owner!
Built on Monday?
For years I had told myself that my next vehicle would be a Toyota. I loved the new 4Runner, but thought it wise to consider other vehicles. Considered the WRX wagon and the Endeavor. Wife and I were really impressed with this vehicle. It has great low end power and reasonable fuel economy for an SUV. The one we purchased ended up having door fit and hood fit problems. In addition, the sound system (which is great when working!) was not working properly. Things one wouldn't expect from a new vehicle. The dealership's service dept has made a "game saving" catch to promptly remedy all issues and we love the vehicle.
Great Suprise
Bought used with 36K and now have 80K. Had no knowledge about it when we bought it, but enjoyed the test drive immensely. Have had absolutely no issues. Regular maintenance, including brakes at 75K and synthetic oil and she runs great. We have found that valves seem to click unless we use higher grade fuel. Lots of room, great OEM stereo, strong V6 have made our Endeavor an awesome SUV. Now looking for one for our daughter to take to college. This has been a very reliable vehicle
Great Vehicle
I just traded in my Montero Sport Limited for Endeavor XLS. What a difference. This is a great vehicle. My only regret is not getting the Limited model.
Feel in love after test Drive
My wife and I feel in love with this vehicle on our test drive. We went to the dealership to drive the Subaru Forester and Outback Wagon. My wife was not very impressed with either of those vehicles, so we turned tot he Mitusbishi. She really liked the styling of the Outlander but i was a little leery of the 4 cylinder egine and the lack of horspower. So we test drove the Endeavor and can home a few days later with the Pearl White XLS. Just a great vehicle. I look forward to many years of happy returns.
great car
the car has a lot of room and a good amount of power also fun to drive.
Excellent vehicle for the money
The Endeavor is an SUV that rides like a car.
A Great Vehicle
I really love my new Endeavor! The looks are great and the features are outstanding. I did lots of shopping around (Highlander, Pilot, etc.) and settled on the Endeavor. I am very happy with my decision. It's an excellent value for the money. The color that I got (Dover White Pearl) was very difficult to locate.
Amazing SUV
I'm so impressed with SUV .. MItsubishi is goin on the right way.. you Must get an Endeavor
Great alternative!
Only have the LTD 2WD for a week, however I am impressed with driving performance, handling, room, and comfort. For the price compared to the usual suspects (4runner, pathfinder, QX4, etc..)you get a lot of vehicle at lower pricing. (Would prefer RWD though and more horsepower-but a very fun crossover to drive). Compare it to the others when shopping. You will be glad you did!
One pleased driver
The ride does not feel like a truck compared to some other SUVs. Interior design comfortable. Sound system very good. Easy to reach all controls. Seat height good when entering and exiting the suv. Visibility good. Engine very responsive, good acceleration. Turning radius tight.
The Endeavor Has Arrived!
I really love my 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor XLS. It looks very fresh and unique from the outside and sophisticated and elegant in the inside. The ride is smooth and quiet, and the handle is exceptional. It is definitely a safer vehicle with a wider wheelbase. The interior is very comfortable with a large leg room. And when your in the need for speed and power, the Endeavor is equipped with 215-250 hp of pure thrill and excitement.
I love my Endeavor
I went out to trade in my ford van in July. I was looking at a GMC Envoy. And when I went to the Mitsubishi in Chattanooga I saw the endeavor and I really liked it. So I test drove the Envoy and the Endeavor. I really like the Endeavor. The sells person told me it was knew out this year and that the ratings were good. I liked the way the vehicle looked and drove, and the way that the inside looked. I love it.
mitsubishi endeavor 2004
Absolutely love driving this vehicle - the smoothest ride around - love stereo system - everything!!!!!!
Newcomer To the SUV Block
I've owned a lot of SUVs in my lifetime and find this vehicle to be perfectly configured with all the right equipment at a very good price. The Endeavor compares to my 2002 Envoy that cost me $29,000 with its handling ability, comfort and performance making it fun- to-drive. The 2004 incentives and trade-in allowance help close the deal for me on this quality vehicle.
Love my SUV
Traded in a Cabrio.... and I am loving the room that is offered in the Endeavor. It is so easy to take the bike along on a road trip as it fits perfectly in the back (until I get the hitch/bike rack) My fellow friends with SUV's love the ride and the comfort. Have been stopped by people asking what I am driving as they say they like the style of it.
Happy with our first SUV
We bought our Endeavor used with 24,000 miles on it and have been pretty happy. We had one issue with the electrical system in the front driver side door - the wiring harness had to be replaced - about $250. No other problems. We really like this vehicle, it is our workhorse. The only quirks are that groceries in the back will fly around, no matter how slow you drive; and if you have the back window(s) down, you have to have a front window down as well or their is a very weird, unpleasant cabin pressure issue. We love the AWD living through Minnesota winters. We would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, affordable SUV.
Love our Limited
This is a dynamite vehicle. Very comfortable and enjoyable to drive. We test drove lots and lots of cars and did some research, but the choice was easy. This vehicle just felt much better from the drivers seat. It handles well, has great AC and stereo, and the seating is comfortable. The rear cargo area has a fair amount of room. I was concerned about the dash after looking at photos, but is is really attractive when you see it in person. I previously had a Mitsubishi truck that I beat up for over 200,000 miles and it never broke down, so I hope this one runs as well. So far our mileage has been good, around 20 mpg for mixed use.
Endeavor Forever
The 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor offers the upbeat style and "family" realism that I needed and wanted all in one package. It drives smoothly and handles like a car. Many SUV's have blind spots that you have to be aware of. The Mitsubishi Endeavor has no such areas. With plenty of room for external awareness, it affords the opportunity to drive safely and comfortably. Buy it? I will own two Endeavors before I am done and I will KEEP them both. If you haven't driven a Mitsubishi Endeavor, you haven't driven an SUV.
Get The Endeavor
Had a ford Escape - HATED IT!!!! This thing rides like a car, gives you the room of a SUV, and at a great price.
exellent card
its simple my car is the best
SUV With Attitude
I've had my Endeavor XLS for only a short time, but absolutely enjoy the ride and style. My wife purchased a 2004 Honda CR-V, and after test driving the Endeavor, said she had made a mistake and should have purchased the Endeavor. (Of course,the Endearvor wasn't even out or just released back in April.) Everything is functional and the easy to reach. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying driving again. Don't know if I can ever ride "low" again in a regular car. The Endearvor "Rocks"!
One Great SUV
We have had the Endeavor a few weeks and we absolutely love it. We went out on a limb, stopping to look at the vehicle on our way to a GMC dealer to look at Envoy's. We did not have to look any further after seeing the Endeavor. We love the exterior style and the roomy interior. We get alot of looks and questions about the vehicle because there are not that many on the road yet...which is kind of cool. The ride is incredibly smooth. I thought it may be bumpy or rough...I was wrong! I will never regret purchasing the Endeavor. A great SUV that doesn't break the bank.
Talented Underdog
This marks my 5th Mitsubishi I have owned. I bought this for my fiance because he fell in love with it after seeing it at an auto show. I did my research and read plenty of reviews and all have reflected my opinion on our Endeavor. I have driven and sat in many other SUVs and our Endeavor by far tops my best experience. The Endeavor is light years better than same class SUVs and better than the Highlander and even 4Runner. It's solid in all aspects and well balanced in ride, steering, power, comfort, braking, appearance and quality. Mitsubishi continues to improve and impress me and will continue to buy a Mitsubishi product!
Excellent, but...
I just bought this used in Nov 2009. It's got good power, and handles well. Also, for 2WD, it seems to do just fine in the snow. Gas mileage isn't very good, but I'm used to a compact. I have found 18mpg city, but I'm not that aggressive of a driver. The EPA claims 14 or so, which isn't true. It will move if you put your foot down, and feels very settled even under hard acceleration. Fuel economy disappears with aggressive driving habits. The engine is noisy at high RPMS but not unpleasant. I would like to see a better lit display for clock/audio, and rattle from interior panels. I would recommend this model, and feel that Mitsubishi offers quality vehicles.
It was hard to buy not American
We love it. It looks good and it handles the road well. We have the black interior and it is smooth. The American made SUV's in this price range all had two tone leather interior and we didn't like that.
Lovin my Endeavor!
I love my Endeavor! I have 2 kids and we have a built in DVD player. It is fun to drive and gives the four of us the room we need.
Best car we've ever owned
I bought the Endeavor for my wife in 2004 to replace her Volkswagen Jetta. I have never been happier with a vehicle. The Endeavor has a nice ride, plenty of "get up and go" and is a comfortable ride for 4-5 adults. Plenty of cargo space for all of our stuff plus our 110 pound Lab. The only maintenance we've had to do was preventive in nature. Oil changes, replaced the tires, replaced the brakes and changed the timing belts at 100,000 miles. The vehicle now has 115,000 and still runs as well as the day we bought it. I HIGHLY recommend this vehicle to anyone who asks me about it. When it finally does give up the ghost (maybe 10 years from now) I will definitely purchase another.
Best Buy for the Money!
We looked at the BMW, Lexus, Highlander, Pilot and Morano. This vehicle was bigger, better and stronger than the competition. Not to mention the price and deal Mitsubishi offers. The ride is very pleasant. Fun to drive. We get lots of people asking us on the road what type of vehicle this is. Lots of complements. We Absolutley Love it!
A good ride
This has been a very comfortable, capable and secure vehicle to drive. I towed a 2500# pop up with little effort and approximately 15 mpg.
Mitsubishi Endeavor, WOW
Incredible ride, great looks, comfortable $ affordable
Trade up
I did extensive research on the car based SUV's available and almost passed the Endeavor by. We traded in our 01' Mazda Tribute. The idea was to trade up to something roomier, better riding and different. There is no comparison, the Mitsubishi wins hands down. The fit and finish are impecable. The ride is much like our Passat. The sound system is out of this world. We looked at the Pilot and Highlander as well and couldn't be more pleased with our choice. It is still early in the game, but I expect that this vehicle will live up to the high standards that I have seen so far.
New Mitsubishi
This is my 3rd Mitsubishi...I loved my full size Montero, looking for better gas mileage we decided to try the Endeavor limited. It drives great, and has all the options. The one problem I have is the interior plastic dash which has a tendency to rattle.. the r2d2 looking design, trying to replicate a silver metal, but indeed is still very plastic...all in all it is a very comfortable drive, the options are great, but then again they are not cheap. If had to do over again I would stay with my full size Montero
mitsu endeavor
having recently gotten my first sport ute, I am quite impressed with mitsu's brand of so called cross-over. The ride and handling is awesome! the turning ratio compared to the so called sports car i drove before is much better, I am surprised how easily navigated tight shopping mall parking lots are. And I can finally see over the shrubs that abound at the mall!!
BLACK PEARL MY ENEAOR
MY FAMILYS ENDEAVOR IS LIKE THE COOLEST THING WE PURCHESSED IT AT DAYTONA MITSUBISHI AND LOVED IT THE AFTER A MONTH OF THE ENDEAVOR ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WENT AND BROUGH ANOTHER CAR FROM THE SAME PLACE AND NOW MITSUBISHIS ARE OUR NUMBER ONE QUALITY CAR
Mitsubishi Endeavor
The only two pitfalls are with the use of premium gas, and when you try to ride with the rear windows down, at a speed above 35-40, strong vibration like wind sound which is annoying, makes it almost impossible to enjoy the ride. Other than that, WE LOVE THIS VEHICLE!
Excellent and Safe SUV
This SUV drives like a dream and looks like a dream. I leased my car and 5 days later, I was hit in the driver side. My car is totaled, however, the police officer said if I wasn't in this truck, I would have been dead. The side bars are a great addition to the Endeavor. My next vehicle, will be another endeavor with the added side air bags.
vibration problems
great looks and comfort. had bad vibration at 400 mi. changed differential. problem again at 900 mi. still in for service getting ready to use lemon law...
My favorite!
I was shopping for a Chevy Tahoe. I went to 5 different chevrolet dealers and was frustrated I could not find the color and options I wanted. I decided to go across the street to the Mitsubishi Dealer and look at the Montero and I saw my endeavour and fell in love with it! The interior is amazing. The 6 disc in dash is a great standard feature in the XLS. I have never been so pleased with a new car purchase. I would highly recommend this car!
Almost There....
It seems as if Mitsubishi designers included what they could for the price range...As a former Montero owner, I did not want a larger truck, but a bigger car that did not look like a station wagon and a mid-size truck that did not look like a mini-van. I think Mitsubishi has accomplished this. The AWD handles nicely in the rain and has "some" kick. It seems loud upon rapid acceleration. Overall I am pleased with my second Mitsubishi. I think with a few improvements (see below) they will have the endeavor nailed!! They are almost there!
