2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited 3.8L gasoline from Philippines

Summary:

An Endeavor for Life

Faults:

Leak in power steering system.

Interior flooding due to A/C issue (remedied already - known issue, with TSB).

No cruise control (function returned when steering clock spring was replaced).

Not all speakers are working.

General Comments:

Despite the flaws and issues, happy with it overall.

More than enough power.

Very cool A/C.

Ferries my family comfortably.

Good online support.

No major issues.

This is an American-built midsize SUV, largely catering for the US market, so parts here in the Philippines may not be as common as Japan CBU units.

Coming from a Lexus, the engine bay has enough space for DIYers. But the rear spark plugs can be a pain to replace.

Would highly recommend to those young families who want a reliable and spacious ride.

2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor SE 3.8 from North America

Summary:

Sport, Luxury, and Utility bundled into one affordable vehicle

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, and no signs of trouble in the near future.

General Comments:

This vehicle is such a pleasure to drive. The suspension is taut, but not truck-like. The steering has nice feel (not too light or heavy). The brakes are responsive and have good feedback. Plenty of power for this size vehicle without going overboard and guzzling gas. Great commanding view of the road.

There's a lot of nice features that were absent from my Cherokee. Cup Holders!! Huge heated side view mirrors. Heated leather seats. The dash lights up with this cool liquid blue back-light. Dome lights and door entry lights that light up when the back doors are opened.

I have 2 young kids in car seats, and the cup holders in the fold-down armrest are at the perfect height for them to reach over and grab their cups.

I just can't say enough good things about this vehicle. Mitsubishi just doesn't get the rave reviews that Toyota and Honda do. I don't understand why. It was actually somewhat hard to find an Endeavor under 2 years old that wasn't a rental vehicle. That tells me that most owners are satisfied with their buy.

2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor XLS Limited 3.8 V6 from Mexico

Faults:

Fantastic car and handles great. Needs wider tires though as it is easy to break traction.

Oil and filter changed at 6000km. Pretty expensive 75.00 USD. They said that it had to be done through them otherwise it would invalidate the warranty.

Sun roof leaks. Had it in 3 times already and they can't seem to adjust it right. There appears to be nothing wrong, they just can't align it. I have since noticed about 10 other Endeavors with this same problem, including my neighbour who has a 2007 and has had it in 3 times too!

General Comments:

Would buy another one definitely. Bought the last 2007 on the lot in Feb 2008 for a 9000 USD discount!

Only problem was the lie from the salesman and service manager that I could have it serviced at Chrysler, as Mitsubishi is an hour highway drive from me, and I live close to a Chrysler dealer, but they won't touch it!

2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor SE 6 cylinder from North America

Summary:

Decent

Faults:

Vehicle quit running on the highway (ie stalled).

General Comments:

Pros: Nice styling, lots of legroom and roomy for both front seat and rear seat occupants.

Lots of room in the back with the seat down.

Great-sounding sound system.

Good price for the size of this vehicle.

Cons: No body-side moldings. Was not even an available option in 2007.

Questionable design on center-console storage box. It is not enclosed on 3 sides on the upper storage part. Divider between upper part of storage box and lower comes off its hinges easily.

Carpeting seems somewhat cheaply made, in that the pile is very thin. (It reminds me more of felt than of carpeting).

Beverage holders should have larger diameter to accommodate larger drink bottles.

"Lighter" outlet (ie auxiliary power outlet) is located in awkward place on center console, rather than on the dash.

No MP3 player connection.
