2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
I've been looking for a CUV for around two years
to replace my 15 year old sedan. I was leaning towards an Escape Hybrid, but while researching fuel efficient CUVs, I ran into a USNEWS article that described this as the best CUV for the money. I'm glad I test drove one. All profesional reviews blast the "performance" of this, but unless you're into sports cars and like driving really … fast and making quick getaways from traffic lights, it doesn't matter. I don't plan speeding tickets into my budget either and usually drive around the limit with my small kid in the back. This car is perfect for a small family. The rear isn't too roomy, but is adequate.
Reliable, but uninspiring

This car has been very reliable. I bought mine in fall of 2011 and, apart from regular maintenance, this car hasn't seen any time back at the dealership. The rest of the car, though, is rather unimpressive. Despite the sporty exterior, the underpowered engine makes this car beyond boring to drive and inspires no confidence when needed. The poor engine would almost be forgivable if the … car achieved the advertised gas mileage, but after nearly 3 years of ownership I still average around 20mpg City and 25mpg Highway. This is mostly due to the fact that the pedal needs to be on the floor most of the time to keep up with traffic. Mitsu would have been much better off including their 2.4L engine.
Fun to Drive!!!

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
I absolutely love this car!
I've had 2 Hondas & a Jeep
and by far I like this much better!
You get all the little extras etc. heated seats, blue tooth, keyless entry and start for much less than Honda.
It looks so great and smart to drive!
Make sure you get the larger wheels and 4wd for all the difference in the world!
We just had a major snow storm and this cuv handled better than any … suv I've ever driven!
Thanks to Mitsb for an affordable and awesome cuv!
handled better than any suv I've ever had (my last one was a jeep) I love my new small crossover and it is a blast to drive!
You will love it too!
Extremely reliable!!- alot for the money

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
I own a 2011 outlander sport- yes the pick up is slow but they fixed that on the newer models- I NEVER had 1 issue with this suv. not 1 mechanical or electrical issue. I have 109,000 miles on it and still runs like new- the maintenance on this car is cheap in comparison with its competitors. In my 9 years of owning I've only replaced wear and tear items like - brakes, air filters, wiper … blades and tires . If you do every scheduled maintenance (with dealership) and oil changes these cars can run forever. I put many city miles on this car! I have hit deep pot holes in New York city and on highway and nothing happened to tires or rims. It handles well in snow and rain for a lightweight CUV. The turning radius is great for make a quick u turn in a tight space- this car gets negative reviews on cargo-I don't know why? I put the seat down and can fit a bike- small furniture- luggage etc. I Love my heated seats and get great gas mileage! I made it from long Island NY to Boston MA on 1 tank of gas!! I had a Toyota and a Hyundai in the past and experienced engine and transmission problems- never again. When I am ready, I will upgrade to a newer outlander sport.
