2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor

The Endeavor dates to 2004, competing quite well with other midsized SUVs of the era. It's quiet, has a fairly comfortable ride and secure handling, but cornering isn't particularly agile. The refined 3.8-liter V6 provides strong acceleration. Like most car-based SUVs, the Endeavor didn't come with low-range gearing, but the AWD is appropriate for snow and sand. Road noise is a bit pronounced, but the interior is put together well and outward visibility is good. The rear seat is spacious and the seatback is easy to fold to expand the cargo area. Never a big seller, Endeavor's numbers took a nosedive after 2007. The model was discontinued after the 2011 model year.

Brand context

About Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi sells a small range of budget-friendly SUVs that have been steadily improving in the brand’s road-test scores. In the past, Mitsubishi was known for its partnership with Chrysler and its eclectic lineup. Discontinued models include the budget-friendly Mirage, sports cars like the 3000 GT, Eclipse, and Lancer Evolution, mid-priced sedans, and dedicated off-road SUVs. After struggling during the 2000s and 2010s, Mitsubishi is now part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and has benefited from access to the other alliance members’ designs and technology. The Mitsubishi Outlander, for example, is based on the Nissan Rogue. Because Mitsubishi’s lineup is a mix of newer and older designs, some older models lag behind in crash test ratings while newer ones get top scores.
