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 ...

Road Test Mitsubishi Endeavor 3.8 V6 Limited 2004
New models of SUVs appear very often. One of the reasons - the relative ease of creating such vehicles. The basis of a passenger car platform is the desired size, increase ground clearance, implanted four-wheel drive, is built corresponding to the body - and the jeep is ready. This is what engineers Mitsubishi, designing a model of Endeavor. Machine made based on the Galant 2004.
The car is larger, more powerful and more expensive than other SUVs the company - well known Outlander. In the range of Mitsubishi new model took the step above. SUV designed primarily for the U.S. market. And he also produced in America.
Salon meets cozy leather armchairs. Spacious and wide. Lateral support, according to overseas traditions, is virtually absent. The rest - all in a European. Even the transmission is in a familiar place for the drivers - in the tunnel between the seats.
The ergonomics of the driver is seat is not satisfactory. Behind the wheel are equally comfortably and punch, and six-foot basketball player. Anyway, I am with my 183 cm of growth have not experienced the discomfort and the range of longitudinal adjustment of the chair was still decent.
On the back couch normally be arranged three adults, but a long journey it is desirable that it did not go more than two people.
We went to Endeavor in the maximum configuration Limited, which includes almost all modern means of comfort and safety. Not enough unless DVD-video system for the rear compartment, which comes at an extra charge.
The center console controls are located climate control and audio system with CD-Player. Perched on top display, onboard computer, which informs you about modes of stereo, the air temperature outside and so on. There is even a compass.
When you turn on size appliances and a center console flash cool blue light. Together with the extraordinary design all taken together looks very avant-garde and unusual. Moreover, this light is not annoying and does not strain eyes.
Endeavor to take place smoothly and powerfully. Acceleration to 100 km / h on the subjective feelings takes eight or nine seconds. In this merit 3.8-liter V6 (215-of-forces). Manual transmission for this Mitsubishi is not provided.
With regard to off-road ... Without a downshift in the transmission, and even on road tires to climb on the snow does not like. Stuck to one. The element of the car - the road. Let the broken, let the gravel or concrete, but - the road.
