Mitsubishi endeavor 2005. 150,000 miles. Runs great.
My vehicle has been super reliable over the years. I have taken it on many trips and have never had any sort of mechanical issues. The only issue that has recently arisen is a strange noise that happens when I start the car but it goes away after a few minutes. The car is a reasonable size and comfortable especially during long trips.

Mitsubishi makes great long lasting cars. They have great options.. You pay a little more for quality but again it has lasted over 200,000 miles
It is a very reliable car, it has great features, it is not a gas guzzler, and it is affordable

The space it has for my family adjustable seats.
Very dependable had it for 2 yrs. And have not had any major problems with it. Sports truck and can go pretty fast can't wait until I own it. If I ever sell it the next buyer will be very pleased only one owner before me. My children love their car and always tell me to go faster lol wish I could.

Been around for so long and been so reliable.
This 13 year old car has been wonderful. Drove it for basically an entire decade before any issues came at all. And even then they are minor. Still trucking along.. Although I know I am due for a new one very soon.

Low maintenance comfortable ride.
Runs very well. I get between 16 to 23 miles per gallon on gas depending on where I drive. Does not take a lot of money to keep it running well. It is a very comfortable ride. Power everything.

Great car for short people.
Very few problems. Good gas mileage. Love the room allowance. Easy to see behind and to the side. Comfortable to drive.

Great family vehicle for all
This SUV has been extremely dependable for my family. The all wheel drive keeps us on the road no matter what the conditions are. The dual trunk openings are extremely helpful to be able to just lift the glass instead of the entire tailgate while loading groceries. It has a large trunk that provides a large family with storage room to travel and pack all necessary equipment. This has been a great vehicle for us and has required very little mechanical work to keep it on the road. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a family vehicle that is powerful but does not require tons of gas to operate on a daily basis.

It is a very good quality vehicle. It drives very well and I have had very few issues with it.
I like that my truck has plenty of space throughout the vehicle. Also, I love that I have a very spacious front windshield/ dash that allows me plenty of visibility. I hate that my truck sucks gasoline.

Car Drives Well but Starting to Have Problems
My coolant system is starting to go bad as coolant never reaches the engine anymore because of a leak. Car drives well though and is smooth on turns.
accountCircle James L
It is a very reliable, affordable, and safe care to drive anywhere.
My vehicle is always reliable, but has a few lingering issues. There is a reoccurring creaking noise in the suspension surrounding the front right tire. There is also a recurring service engine light that is linked to no apparent problems.

Handling and ride comfort.
I get poor gas mileage. Also I have had a few major problems with it such a transmission replacement. The paint on the roof rack crossbars did not hold up well. I do like the way it handles and the ride comfort. I also like the front seat comfort and leg room. The cargo capacity is great.
accountCircle Mink S
The side mirrors have a blind spot.
Gas is horrible, less cargo. Drives like a car. Good snow tires. Comfortable. Good on the highway. Roomy and its a v6.
accountCircle Peggy A
The motor is a racing motor and, in town you must watch your speed.
I bought it used and it had high mileage. And the ride is not as comfortable as I need it to be. . It also burns a lot of oil.

I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone asking.
Overall I love it, it is had some minor issues with heat shield rattling, muffler/tail pipe rusting. Having some issues with the a/c leaking into the floor right now but we owned it for 11 years and had no major mechanical issues. Comfortable for long trips or just everyday driving.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Steve B.

This car gets great gas mileage, it has great power, it is reliable, it has AWD, and it is inexpensive to maintain. There is also a lot of storage space in the back of the car for groceries and luggage.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Steve B.

The ls model is pretty basic and it does not have navigation or a large display stereo. Also, the car requires premium gasoline, so that can get more expensive to fill up each time. The other thing that is really annoying is every time you change the heat to cool, if you move it too fast, the ac automatically kicks on.
