From parking the car gently and powerfully moved and easily merged into traffic, pulling us toward the region. I want to note how smoothly and steadily accelerating the car to idle. And while not necessarily good care of the accelerator pedal. Even if the driver accidentally stepped on the gas, the car quickly pick up speed, but do it smoothly, without the slightest hint of twitching.
In the merit of the new 215-horsepower V6 solid volume in the 3.8-liter and automatic transmission, adapted to the driving style.Traction motor lacking in all modes of traffic. In the city of "Endeavor" easily moves into the general flow and confidently taking the left lane. Paired with the powerful "six" excellent agreement adaptive four-step "machine" with manual shift.
According to subjective feelings acceleration from a standstill to 100 km / h takes about nine seconds. In manual mode the box I was translating infrequently. Much more convenient to always use the automatic. Yes, and a top speed of "Endeavor" was reached faster in the automatic mode. Begs the question: do all the manual, in fact, and downshift the car there? Needed. Partly it can be used on the roads. But personally, I really liked upsetting "Endeavor" before the turn, consistently turning over the transfer from higher to lower. Vehicle while actively inhibits motor.
Manifestation of such a cocky character cars on asphalt contribute to supporting body and fully independent suspension on all wheels. In a move more reminiscent of a car passenger wagon with a high ground clearance.
Banks are moderate. At speeds around 140 km / h are very confident we can move between machines, changing lanes. "Endeavor" gives a sense of control and confidence in the car. But, following one of the laws of physics - the winning one, but lose in another. Perfect for a jeep driving performance turn some discomfort on uneven and shallow waves of asphalt. Chassis sufficient detail conveys the relief of the roadway, but it's quite reasonable fee for safe handling.
Only at the maximum speed of 160-180 km / h in flat cornering feel as strained steel "muscles" springs and shocks that hold the car on a given trajectory. But this is extreme. Much nicer and more confident the car driven at speeds up to 150 km / h.
For serious off-road Endeavor to send us a hand trembled, and we restricted ourselves to the sandy pit. Of course, asphaltic jeep without a downshift in the transmission and the summer tires get stuck in impassable mud or deep snow. But in Moist sand he showed himself a fine fellow.
When a colleague asked to drop closer to the lake for photography, selection of the place struck me on the shoulder, but rather a real mother jeep. But after a brief reconnaissance of the site still decided to overcome it. And Mitsubishi Endeavor did not disappoint. Although, once again. The car is not designed for the conquest of reckless off-peaks. His element is asphalt, but in all weather conditions and other cataclysms of nature ...
