Used 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Consumer Reviews
First Car and an SUV
I love the way the Mitsubishi Outlander handles on unpaved roads in good and bad weather, even in more than a foot of snow. It is roomy from front to back but could use a little more headroom, even when the seat is totally down. Also, its gas mileage could be better. It does zero to sixty in about 10 seconds which is sluggish in some situations but livable. It has a smooth ride at any speed. It is the first vehicle I purchased on my own and I wanted an SUV. I bought it used from a car rental company where it was well maintained. My maintence costs have been low. It is large enough for what I need and small enough that it is easy to park without taking up extra space. Sometimes it gets hidden behind other bigger SUV's in mall parking lots!
Best in it's class!
Exactly what my wife expected and need. Nice high quality interior, superb sound system, adequate cargo space, great fit & finish, nice extra gadgets. Of course for my taste I would've prefered a 6 cylinders engine, but then again this is not a vehicle for sport cars fans like me. Great car for it's price.

Fun to drive
I saw a couple of these media Outlanders driving up from Kuwait to Baghdad, Iraq with big "TV" in masking tape. I really wished riding the Outlanders instead of my G.I. Humvee. After coming back home from deployment, I took a 550 mile drive from Temecula to Sunnyvale CA and surprisingly was not fatigued. With 3 people, the ride is very comfortable and quiet, power is adequate enough to pass other vehicles up the I- 5 "Grapevine". Mitsubishi did great interior design on this, it does not give you the cheap feel.
Giddyup!
My wife & I were just looking at crossover vehicles. We stumbled upon the outlander & my wife fell in love with it! I wasn't sold until we drove it. It's actually enjoyable to drive!! We aren't looking for a sports car so the 2.4 gives just enough power. But we also don't deal with city traffic & highway merging issues. Overall we'll be driving it for a few more years. Hopefully we'll enjoy it as long!

Great fun to drive. Handles like a car and looks great. Easy to get into and out of. My kids are all jealous that I got one for myself.
