The Endeavor debuted in 2004 as a new mid-size crossover SUV offering from Mitsubishi. The Endeavor had design roots in a late-1990s concept, but very little was carried over to this production model.
Unfortunately, the first version of this SUV was hampered by build-quality issues during its initial run, and Mitsubishi was forced to re-release the Endeavor as a 2004.5 model. Key improvements included more horsepower, improved safety features, and a more comprehensive ABS system.
The Endeavor was available in three trim levels, and each was offered with either front or all-wheel drive. Styles include the base LS, mid-level XLS, and the luxurious Limited. All models come standard with air conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, remote keyless entry, privacy glass, alloy wheels, and a CD player.
The Endeavor lineup features one power plant: a 3.8-liter V-6. This engine supplies 225 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift feature. Fuel economy is estimated at 17/21 mpg.
The Endeavor has earned positive reviews for build quality, interior room, safety, and ride quality. The Endeavor is quite spacious for a mid-size crossover, but it falls to the middle of the pack with respect to cargo room. The SUV offers plenty of storage options however, with an abundance of cabin bins and tie-down hooks. Second-row seats fold flat, and owners don't need to remove headrests to do so.
Reviewers agree that passengers will enjoy a cushioned but controlled ride, with minimal body roll and very predictable steering. The cabin is adequately shielded from noise intrusions, and the interior layout features well-placed controls and a stylish presentation.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor are pleasantly surprised by its performance, spacious interior, and reliability. Many appreciate its all-wheel drive capabilities and comfortable ride, making it suitable for families and long trips. However, some find it lacks aesthetic appeal and would prefer a smaller vehicle after years of use."
Both of my daughters (22 and 17) have an 04 Endeavor, needless to say my 20 year old had been through 3 cars by her 19th birthday and after purchasing this vehicle almost a year and a half ago it has lasted several long distance trips from college 3 hours away to our home for visits and the only thing we've had to replace are tires and new interior lighting, also my 17 year old loves this car simply because there is actually room in the back seat for her friends and the design is unique. As a parents the suv has a sturdy build feeling that was meant to last I feel that my children are very safe in this vehicle and highly recommend it!
March 14, 2014This car runs great and I Never had an issue with the car. I am Just looking for a smaller car. Also, I always kept up with its maintence and it is In good condition. Very big inside and drives smooth.
April 27, 2014Was genuinely surprised by this SUV. Had never owned a Mitsubishi and thought it was a notch lower than the Toyota, Honda and Nissan brands, but I was mistaken. The stability of ride is great. 3.8 engine provides plenty of power. Good looking SUV compares with the top models, but at a lower price. Reliability ratings online are very good for this SUV.

December 20, 2013Simple to fix, the price on most parts is accessible. Easy to drive, good ground clearance, and the space inside is comfortable. It is definetively not an eye catcher, but a get the job done vehicle.
