The 2008 Endeavor is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 4 trims, ranging from the LS 2WD to the SE AWD.
Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 3.8-liter, V6, 225-horsepower engine. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
Summary: Best SUV! Blows the wheels off previous jeeps owned, not only by speed/acceleration but also by gas mileage. Not having solid axles/leaf spring suspension the ride is much better in city. Am thinking about putting a 2nd in the garage! Mitsubishi has once again impressed me! Before you buy something else, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this rig. The funky interior design in my opinion was the biggest thing to get use to. TONS of room for rear pax too!
Strengths: Power, very quiet. Roomy, awesome fuel economy for power.
Weaknesses: Seating isn't plush, but isn't poor either. Have only had to take it back in to fix pax rear window...still was working, but making funky noise. Otherwise, no complaints.
Similar Products Used: Jeep Cherokee, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Honda CRV. Not going back to any of these!

Summary: I love my Endeavor. I'm a 20 year old college student (my dad bought it for me!) in Wisconsin. We chose it for the bad weather up here. It has handled really well so far in the heavy rain and I have high hopes for the winter! It's super roomy, fits all of my friends and has a ton of cargo room that helps me move all of my stuff back and forth from home at holidays, not to mention it's a really attractive car. My brother has an '03 Xterra, and my endeavor has way more room and power. For some reason my windshield is noisy at high highway speeds, but I have been told that its only an annoyance and not a problem, and I'm not sure about the history of the car, so it may have been poorly replaced or something. The lack of gear shifter lights is not a problem at all, who looks at their gear shifter anyway? The gas mileage isn't great but i guess it's better than most comparably sized SUVs. It drives really well, not like a truck at all (it's on a galant chassis) I love my Endeavor and am really happy with the decision we made after a lot of research.
Strengths: its pretty
tons of room
good power
comfortable ride
no problems (so far!)
Weaknesses: noisy windsheild

Year / Model Reviewed: 2004 Mistubishi Endeavor LS
Summary: This is a wonderful truck! I love the way it handles and the interior is really nice. With two kids and a busy schedule, this vehicle has yet to let me down.
The only issues I have had with this vehicle was some warranty recal work and the speakers were blown. i am assuming the driver previous to me felt so good driving that the music was as high as it could go!
I was able to purchase this vehicle with 19K miles for $18000. That is the best deal out there for a sleek, functional and lovable SUV!
Strengths: Roomy interior, great handling, value for the price.
Weaknesses: None that I have encountered as of yet.

Summary: I could pretty much just copy "ashwinearl's" review. Car has very smooth ride, great acceleration. I'm getting 17-18mpg in the city and 22-24mpg on the interstate. I compared to many other vehicles in this class and the Endeavor has the best horsepower, mpg, interior space, cargo space of any of them. Visibility is very good. I'm a bit concerned about the durability of the exterior as I already have a couple of dings. We had a Galant previously and I believe that the body was made just like beer cans. I don't know why the shifter isn't lit. I thought the light might just be burned out until I read the review above. One more small complaint: When you have the air control set to blow at your feet, it doesn't. Rear passengers have a vent from underneath the front seats, but front passenger do not get any floorboard flow. Overall, I love this car and hope it gives us several years of trouble-free driving.
Strengths: Acceleration, gas mileage, interior room, exterior styling, smooth ride, visibility. Great value since I got a $27,000 car with only 14K miles for $18,488.
Weaknesses: Lack of shifter lights, no air in front floorboard, poor available exterior color choices.
