They gave me an amazing deal on a 2018 Outlander PHEV. This vehicle is a life-saver! I have had it for almost 2 months and still not needed to refill the gas. With my driving I am able to drive solely off the battery and that has been saving me a lot of money! We all know traffic is bad and with my HOV sticker, my commutes to work are cut in half. I don't spend hours in traffic on the 91 and when I go out somewhere that uses toll roads, I sure as hell take advantage of those toll discounts.

Great plug-in with good range AND cargo space

Still loving this car. I researched every single plug-in hybrid on the market in 2019 and this was the only one with a decent amount of battery range AND cargo space. The Chevy Volt and Honda Clarity had the best ranges, sure, but their trunk space was limited, no good for trips to the gardening store, road trips, windsurfing gear, etc. And the plug-in hybrid SUVs with more cargo space -- the Volvos and BMWs -- were way more expensive and, to top it all off, rewarded you with LESS battery range. So, while not perfect, the Outlander PHEV was a perfect replacement for our Prius V, which got good gas mileage and swallowed cargo with its big trunk but was a dud to drive and fouled up the garage with its gas exhaust smell whenever the engine fired up, something you grow to hate after driving an EV (our other car is a Model Y). While not overly exciting, I do like the Outlander's understated crossover styling, which aspires towards sporty. It's not too big and not too small, with plenty of room for the kids or other passengers in back. The interior on the GT trim I have is nice, though it is a bit dated as others have said. The tech features are decent -- Android Auto is great to have -- and I appreciate all the safety features, as well as the parking cameras, both front and back. I love the adaptive cruise control on longer drives. I had a home charger already for our first EV, a 2016 Leaf, so I also love topping off the Outlander whenever it's needed to save on trips to the gas station. Of course, there are some things with the Outlander I'd change: 1) Get driving settings to hold. Right now they reset every time you start up the car, whether it's the regen level or the Auto Hold feature. This gets annoying, until you just give up using the less important features. 2) Bump up the regen for true one-pedal driving. The highest regen level -- B5, which goes all the way down to B0, which let's the car freewheel -- is just shy of bringing the car to a complete stop. I wish it did like the Model Y, Bolt EV or the new Leaf. But overall, I'm really happy with this car so far, and it's fit our needs perfectly.

Wonderful car, great balance of compromises. Love the ride, silence, electric torque, versatility, and especially that the usefulness has not been compromised by absurd design. Visibility, mirrors, ceiling height, standard moon roof with solid blind, self folding rear seats, folding rear seat head rests, touch screen, non reflective odometers and many other little things I do love. My only gripes are the gezillian warning beeps and of little importance, not a fan of shiny black plastic parts on the dash and front grill, even if you call it piano finish poly carbonate. Also the various control buttons seem sprawled out, wish they would be in a single cluster above the heater controls

Highlights: Amazing SUV!. My wife uses it for Daly errands, we charge every time we get back home, on 1 gas tank we are doing between 750 to 1,000 miles! It is the perfect equation Size, Price, Real MPG. We did 1 long trip from Miami to NC and all safety features on our GT are an amazing help while driving, the adaptive auto pilot, and the automatic high beams are 2 features that I will not buy any other car without them! Then the automatic whippers helps a lot in South Florida all year heavy rains. The only complaint I have is that under 90+ degrees on most days of the year, not having a rear vent for the AC make my kids force me to put the fan on the AC on high all the time.

Update,138000miles now(daily work drive), still love it, two complain 1. the horsepower when acceleration. I guess the new 2.4L engine can get better. 2. fuel tank too small 11Gal. others no complain On my shopping list never have this Outlander PHEV, but I just bought it (2018 Outlander PHEV GT). I was planning to buy MDX Hybrid(my most favorite), RX450, Volvo XC60 Hybrid, but I see this car can get into the carpool lane and only $40K (out to door), that is a good deal. plus I will get another $6k tax credit (fed and ca) , a really good deal. did I mention a 10-year warranty ??, to me, those luxury car charges are way overpriced, you are buying that logo for extra, as well as your own feeling good over others only, that is it. the only thing I don't like this car is the driver's seat, not too comfortable (compare to my old RX400H and my wife's BMW230i), but will get used to it in time. overall I like it after 1-week commute daily to work.
