Review

I will never make fun of a heated leather seat again, I can't live without them! I keep warm and they are easy to clean up after the dog has been in the car with her muddy paws! Sporty, clean look, fun to drive, easy to maintain! And not bad at all on gas & I drive all over town! And I got a heck of a deal( New ) and will buy this model again! I strongly suggest it to you! You can't go wrong! And it kinda looks like the Lexus SUV, hehehe!

Favorite Features

Heated seats, leather seats & electric moon roof.

Suggested Improvements

Drop the price on the newer models so I can afford another one when I need it in a few years.

Review

I have been continously suprised by the performance of my Outlander. We recently came over the mountains in the snow and the car performed remarkabley. I am able go faster than is safe and able to get up to speed and keep up with other higher performing cars that is acceptable. My wife and I purchased this car for her benefit, she wanted a car she was comfortable with in terms of size. I initially wanted to get the endeavor, but I think the outlander was a better purchase in terms of cost and efficiency.

Favorite Features

I like the option of being able to used the auto-manual shift feature. This feature allows me to have better control over getting up to speed in various driving conditions (snow, hills, wanting to drive fast, etc).

Loving It

Review

I've had it a little over 3 years now, been consistent with my regular maintenance and have not had one issue with it -- it's been great through all the crazy weather CT throws at us -- heat, cold, rain, snow, ice. For its size, it gives you enough of a height above the traffic to make you feel comfortable but not feel like you're in a tractor trailer! Definitely am happy I made the decision I did and "loving it"!!

Review

I love this SUV. I drive it 30,000 miles a year and has 95K on it now and still runs like new. I have used it to haul my small camper and have really abused this car, but it continues to work like a dream. While its design is pretty extreme, it allows the car to look as new and trendy as the other crossovers being released today. I will keep this thing forever if I can, and if it dies, it am so pleased I am likely to go out and purchase another Outlander.

Favorite Features

The styling of this car is great! I also love the shift-tronic feature. Towing my camper in the mountains would have been very difficult without this feature.

Suggested Improvements

I think this car would have been perfect as a hybrid model or a V6 - and Mitsubishi chose to go with the more affordable V6 route with their new models (and a third row!).

Review

I have driven Mercedes all my life. A few months before my lease on a 230 Komressor SLK expired I started SUV shopping. I test drove multiple makes and models and out of all of them, the Mitsubishi Outlander was the best. It met my requirements for price, fuel economy, warranty, speed, design, and usefulness. After test driving a bunch of SUVs in it's class I fell in love with my Outlander. Great job Mitsubishi!!!

Favorite Features

I love the headrests :-) and the reclining back seat. Mainly it looks and drives awesome. Also it gets great gas milage for an AWD I get about 25 mpg on long distanst trips with the air conditioning on and going about 70 mph.

Suggested Improvements

It needs to have easy to find/or standard cross bars. I am having such a hard time finding them in the aftermarket.

Review

I have had my eye on this type of vehicle for some time and decided to take one for a test drive. The Outlander is smooth, comfortable and very quiet. I have been driving minivans for the past 11 years and it was time for a change now that it is mainly just my wife and myself when we take a drive. I am counting on getting better fuel economy as well.

Favorite Features

AWD for winter driving, the fact it has a Mitsubishi engine (one of the best), the comfort & quietness of the interior, and an exterior look that is unparalleled in this price range.

Suggested Improvements

The gas mileage could be better by 15-20%.

Review

I've enjoyed owning this SUV. I've gotten compliments on the style and raves from friends who have borrowed it. It is great for driving on the beach, even in loose sand it handles quite well. I wish the gas mileage was better though.

I Like It

Review

I used to have a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport which I absolutely loved. However, the Mitsubishi Outlander is a nice change because of the larger interior space and more height for better visibility. For those who are taller, the slope of the windshield can make it a little difficult to see. It handles fine, but if you are changing from a car, be prepared for different handling. The steering is very responsive.

Favorite Features

Every aspect of the interior is great. I like the ease of getting everything in and out of the back - it's the perfect height!

Suggested Improvements

On a long trip, my mother complained about the backseat being hard.

Review

My wife and I bought our Mitsubishi Outlander as our first child was about to be born and both of us had coupes. We searched and searched and found ours. Neither of us like the big gas guzzling SUVs, but needed something with a little more space and access, The Outlander has just enough of everything...gas mileage / space / style.

Favorite Features

Simple yet modern interior, sleek styling for a "famiily vehicle", privacy glass, plain looking CD deck (nobody will break in to steal it) has good sound. We both love the dash.

Suggested Improvements

The clear coat scratches easily.
