2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor New LS AWD 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Performance-wise, this SUV is outstanding. I like the car-like handling and of course, as most of you know by now, it's torquey 225-hp engine.

Favorite Features

Roomy interior, car-like handling and torquey 225-hp engine. Not to mention the tire pressure monitoring system.

Suggested Improvements

Make the 6-disc in-dash CD Changer standard for all variants. Lastly, change the shift knob design. Shift knob from Montero would be perfectly fit.

2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor New Limited Fwd 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

The Endeavor is my 1st SUV and a fluke, since we were looking to purchase a Galant LS! My wife fell in love with the Endeavor. So I test drove one, did hours of research, came back the next day and bought one! I am extremely pleased and happy with this SUV 16 months later. Very comfortable leather heated seats, a blasting 6-CD changer stereo system, excellent trim and interior fit and finish with no squeaks or rattles, cool blue gauge lights, a rather torquey (although a bit raspy) V-6 engine, which moves the vehicle quickly from a dead stop and at highway speeds without much downshifting. The vehicle always feels solid and nimble, but not plodding. A very comfortable road trip vehicle!

Favorite Features

Overall build quality; very comfortable leather seats; excellent warrany services; friendly, efficient dealer staff; great safety features, including side airbags; solid road feel with smooth handling and comfortable suspension without a truck- like feel; throaty exhaust note when accelerating.

Suggested Improvements

A new (DOHC) or totally re-worked engine for smoothness; engine sounds raspy under hard acceleration and rattles when at idle (like a diesel); the OHC engine not as smooth or sophisticated as some Endeavor rivals; lower the wind and road noise at highway speeds with extra insulation and dampening.

Review

I did a lot of research prior to purchase and I think I found a fine SUV. The owners know it is not perfect but when matched with the other SUV's in it's class it is a decent match.

Favorite Features

The ride, nimble handling (for it's size), sound system and comfort.

Suggested Improvements

A little less plastic, a little more power and reduce the premium fuel requirement.

Review

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.

Favorite Features

Nice big sunroof. Larger than most. Good back/trunk storage. Rides smooth on highway. Good visibility compared to other SUVs.

Suggested Improvements

Review

I just test drove this beauty today after three days of researching what to buy. This SUV was never mentioned when surfing and the salesman suggested it. I wanted something for around $15,000 and he said he would do his best to make the deal. He insisted I drive it. I did...and WOW! I think I'm in love! I will have one of these in my garage ASAP. No other SUV compares for the price, size, value, power and look.

Favorite Features

Looks great. Not just another box with four tires. It looks sporty and agressive and fun all in one.

Suggested Improvements

Three to five more inches wider in the back seat would be good.

I have only had my vehicle for 45 days, but it has impressed me with the lack of rattles and squeeks. For a V6 in really has a lot of get up and go. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Review

I traded the 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd for my Endeavor . Yeah, a bit of a step down, what what a steal for the price. GREAT leg room, nice cargo area.

Favorite Features

It is fun to drive. The blue dash is pleasing at night

Suggested Improvements

The base stereo is a bit on the lite side. But, sure beats the cracking on the Jeep radio!

After 30K, Still Luvn' it...

Review

Broke 30K today on the '04 Endeavor, my favorite car still. I have averaged 19 mpg, mostly at 65 on hwy, have had only two problems, both under warranty and fixed right away. First was odd whistle, sounded like belt but was actually something in drive shaft. Second was fuel injector sensor, they replaced injector. I installed K&N air filter, rear mud guards,and a standard black steel mesh screen for lower air intake, to keep rocks out of radiator, Great car!

Favorite Features

Amazing good ride quality and handling for SUV.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I suggest is hood stone guard, as the front angle of hood catches a few constantly. (better than windshield)

Review

This is the best SUV on the market in this price range. I have had a 4Runner, Trailblazer, Xterra, and this Endeavor is better in every way over all the others.

Favorite Features

The AWD is the way to go and the interior is well designed.

Suggested Improvements

Add fuel milege and oil change information to the information screen on the dash.
