It's great. You treat it well and it will take you places.

The vehicle was pre-owned but great. The only time it gave me trouble was when my mother's boyfriend at the time drove it and throttled on the speed and wrecked the breaks and such. Now that it is old, it needs regular repairs and it's pretty pricey.

It drives so well! I don't have a ton issues with the car - it's a good reliable vehicle.

I love that it's a small, compact SUV but it is also roomy. It drives well, has pretty decent gas mileage, and looks awesome. No complaints here!

Harry B

Do not forget to release the parking brake when leaving your parking place.

I really enjoy deriving my Mitsubishi Endeavor. It has held the paint job where I have seen other cars that have faded. My only complaint is that the MPG could be a little bit more, I get 18 MPG.

Steven B

It is a very dependable automobile, very good on gas.

It is sporty, great on gas. I have no complaints on this vehicle.

Morgan H

It performs very well and I wish they still made it

I love the size and drive of my vehicle. The only major problem I've had is with the sunroof

Kellie B

That it's been running for just about 200,000 miles but the outside looks semi new!

I love my vehicle. It's a workhorse! I always feel safe in it & have plenty of room for anything I need to transport. The only things it's missing are a few technology updates it's a little too old to have.

Dependable, roomy family vehicle.

The Mitsubishi endeavor has been a great family car. Our family of four fits nicely inside for trips with room in the trunk for both luggage and our two dogs. I have been able to haul furniture in it, too. I like the sunroof, but it broke about 2 years into is owning it. Overall, it is dependable, roomy, and a convenient vehicle to own.

Kristina K

On a lot of endeavors the transmission goes. I have spoken to many owners of the same make and model and they all had the same problem

I loved my car when I first bought it, within 2 years my transmission went on my suv. So I had to put over $2000 into it. Other than that, my car runs great and is a great size. I will be shopping for a new car very soon.

Negative Owner Reviews

Jaclyn S

It prefers 93 octane gas which is the most expensive gas. It can add up to extra cost quickly.

I like that my vehicle is an SUV which makes it roomy and up a little taller on the road. Additionally, there's lots of cargo room. I don't like that it seems like a cheaply made vehicle and is very light. The doors echo when i close them as if the materials used were junk.

Amie R

The best thing about it is it has lots of room makes a good family vehicle.

It is very comfortable riding and very roomy I've had my car for almost a year and have had no problems expect routine stuff I gave it a 3 because I prefer smaller cars it gets good gas mileage and has a nice CD player for factory.

It handles real well you need good vision to drive properly

Has good size.rides just ok hasa truck base

Kelly R

Great legroom and seats fold down flat to allow more in back -.

Electric system cuts in and out expensive to fix - great on gas- great for room/space comfortable seats heated odd GPS and electronic console black on black does get hot leather kept good shape on seats contour plastic in cargo is helpful not easy replacing.

Reginia B

I like my vehicle because I have more room and better air conditioning. I dislike my vehicle because I need an alignment and New tires.

The most important thing that others should know about my car is that it needs an alignment and it's also a gas saver

The Endeavor: Perfect for all family adventures!

This is a very nice family type car. Controls are smooth, and it has an excellent air and heating system. There is a large back trunk area for traveling, groceries or beach trips. The endeavor provides a quiet,smooth ride with enough room for 5 people.

Pros from Owners

Jasmine W.

Spacious. Strong engine. Long lasting. Fuel efficient. Large size. 5 Seats. Large trunk space. Towing attachment. Blue light interior. Heavy duty. The car has a large fuel tank and takes a good amount of money to fill up but I find that a full tank can last me anywhere from 1 week - 2 weeks.

Margaret B.

Roomy clean ride. Easy on gas. Spacious for a family. Comfortable to ride and drive. Good stereo and very safe. Enjoy riding and driving. Stereo has good sound and very convenient. Enough room for drinks and place for phone.

Amy C.

The pros of this vehicle is it rides comfortably, is roomy, and has plenty of trunk space. The back glass opens for easier access. The stock sound system is pretty amazing with a stock subwoofer. Cranking up the music will not disappoint!

Cons from Owners

Jasmine W.

Like mentioned in the previous answer the tank does cost a lot to fill up which is probably the biggest con for me. I am not too keen on the looks of the car per day as I have the tan colored model. The car does not have a rear view camera or electric steering nor does it have heated seats or side mirrors though I am sure it could have been upgraded to include those specifics.

Margaret B.

Does not come with Bluetooth or backup camera. Needs to be 3rd row seating for bigger families. Needs controls on steering wheels for radio and phone. Don't like seat belt alarm that does not shut off. Otherwise is a good vehicle.

Amy C.

The blower motor was one of the first things wrong with it. It is easy to replace so that part isn't a problem. There is a big blond spot on the driver side especially when going around turns to the left. The back seat makes it hard to fit 3 car seats in at a time.

Is The 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor A Good Car?

Yes it's a great vehicle for us. It's roomy enough for all three kids and my husband and myself with lots of space in the back for all the stuff we carry around or shopping

Benjamin S.

How Reliable Is The 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor?

Yes it's very reliable for us. We've had a few minor issues but other than that it's good. The transmission has been acting up and we had to get new tires.

Karen P.

Is The 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor A Good Value?

We bought it used from my brother and sister in law for $1000.00 a year ago. I think it's an excellent value for what we paid for it.
