4 year owner
I have had my Outlander Sport since Feb. 2012. I absolutely love my car and I have been saying that ever since I purchased it. To begin, the cargo space is much more than what it appears. Moving twice with this car has been helpful, I have fit a table and 5 large stools in the back seat. The key is that the seats go flush which is great. I am also an athletic coach and this car comfortably fits all my equipment. Even with the seats up the cargo space is still more than adequate. The bluetooth comes standard and is simple and easy. The blue lights the light up with the opening to the doors always receives many compliments and is functional as well. The turning radios is amazing, I have never had a problem. In regards to reliability, I have only had to take this car for oil changes and basic tune ups in four years and 75k miles. Not bad. Pros: Bluetooth and sound system, cargo space, simple yet attractive design, great gas mileage, reliable Cons: Noisy drive

Nice car!
During my research I looked at quite a few different makes. I decided on the Outlander Sport because of the standard features. i was concerned about the 2.0 4 cylinder engine but it performed well over my expectations. I was passing everyone I came to on the freeway with no effort at all. The interior is more spacious then I expected. I have plenty of room at 6 feet and 350 pounds. Personally, I like the looks of the exterior but not everyone will. All and all, this is an extremely fine vehicle for the price. Thousands less then similar in class with far far fewer features.
Very Pleased
Recently purchased my Outlander Sport after looking at the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tuscon. Read some reviews indicating it is very loud and under-powered. I have found the power to be more than adequate and engine noise to be a non-issue as well. If you are a lead foot, engine noise will be louder than usual due to the CVT transmission. The car makes use of higher RPM's to power the car for quick acceleration. This has to do with the fact that a CVT does not "shift". It's basically one large gear. The car feels well made. I am very happy to own this car after trading in a Mercedes Benz ML320. I do mostly city driving/ short trips and get about 23 mpg, which is a vast improvement for me.
Great car for the money - Awesome!
Outlander Sport rocks! Have been in the market for 3 months and tested CRV, RAV4, Tucson, Euinocx, Rogue, CX7, Sportage... you name it. Outlander is the BEST in terms what I got for my money. The SE AWD comes with standard options that no brand could compete. Drove 7000 miles in 3 months, all east coast. On highway at 65-70mph averaged 27.4mpg (vs 29), in the city-NJ/manhattan about 22.6 (vs 24) mpg. The engine is enough for this car, unless you want to race. My wife loves the car, hill support, compact, easy to park, touch and go, enough space for the kid and stuff. This car is for people young in spirit. Yes, I was hesitant at first but now is at/over par to Toyota or Honda.Why pay more?
