Mitsubishi’s Midsize Crossover SUV
I was invited to check out the Mitsubishi Endeavor. According to Mitsubishi, the Endeavor is a “midsize crossover SUV”.
Some say that it’s just a midsize and I have to agree with them.
The Mitsubishi Endeavor is powered by a V6 24 valve, 3.8 liter engine that cranks up 225 horsepower @ 5000. It has a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The Automatic has a Sportronic mode that lets you shift gears manually if you want to.
It has a roomy rear. Judging by the size- 40.7 cubic feet, it had space for my 2 big dogs and room to spare.
As for the ride itself, I took it out on the back roads and was rather impressed by the handling. The4-wheel independent suspension handled the bumps quite well.
In fact I was surprised as to how well it did.
Fuel mileage estimates: 15 city and19 highway
Overall this is a great vehicle for the family.
Cost to own $54,704 (5-year national average) and the nice thing about it is that since the Endeavor isn’t leader of the pack sales wise, you could get a couple of extras or get a better deal.
