Deal of the Week: Mitsubishi Endeavor
Did you forget about the Endeavor? Don't feel bad, most people have. In fact, Mitsubishi even forgot to offer a 2009 model. But that doesn't mean you should forget to look at the Endeavor if you are in the market for a mid-sized CUV.
Back in 2003, the then new Endeavor beat out heavy hitters like the Nissan Murano, Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot in an Edmunds comparison test. It won that comparison test not by outright dominating, but by being consistently competent.
Though little changed since then, the core features that helped take the top slot in that comparison test are still present today. Edmunds editors noted the Endeavor's well-balanced ride and handling dynamics, a gutsy V6, a roomy, comfortable cabin and solid build quality.
But time waits for no CUV, and the losers in that comparison have all been redesigned since then, while the Endeavor has soldiered on without an update and with few changes. So in the absence of a redesign, Mitsubishi is endeavoring to sell more of their mid-sized CUV by offering up some attractive incentives. Read about them after the jump.
Now through the end of September, customers can choose between $3500 cash back or 0% financing for up to 48 months and 1.9% financing for up to 60 months. If you can still find a 2008 model on dealer lots, there is $4000 dealer cash available, but no special finance rates.
While the Endeavor doesn't offer some of the latest wiz-bang features, it does offer a package that is safe, roomy and comfortable. With these latest incentives, it is also more affordable. For many, that is all they ask for in their vehicle.

Like most Mitsu products, this is a very good vehicle that for some reason hasn't become very popular. In my experience with owning a Lancer and an Outlander, and spending time in several others, Mitsubishi has a very Honda- or VW-like quality to the ride and handling, and as far as I've ever heard they are very reliable. Never the most luxurious or the most powerful, but solid values. Heck, I test drove a base 4-cylinder Eclipse a couple years ago and was very impressed. I nearly to forgot that I was sent out to look at sedans with a fifth seatbelt. I truly don't understand why Mitsubishi aren't more successful as a brand.
