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.
Good car for the money

I have about 30K miles on my Outlander Sport. I purchased this car for commuting and general running about in the city. It took a little getting used to since I have been driving a Large SUV with V-8 power for the last 15 years. With that said this car is adequate for what it does. ITs not a very quick off the line but if you use the paddle shifters it helps. Once up to speed it moves nicely and cruises at 75-80 mph with ease. I have found it to be pretty versitile considering its size. I am able to haul around bicycles, potting soil, plants etc. I have averaged between 26-28 mpg in mixed city/hwy driving and I don't baby this car. The handeling is very car like and generally comfortable

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

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.

Power- Its lacking in this area in comparison to the others in its class but the CVT tranny really makes good use of the 148hp. It gets a little fun when using the paddle shifter (The paddle shifter sold me on the car). Only issue I have is that you cant tow anything, I dont know how that compars to the rest but its a forgivable issue. Suspension- This little truck could out handle alot of cars. Definitely shines above the rest, especially in 4wd mode :). Seating- Im 6"1 and have 2 children in car seats and we fit with little issue. Im a lil cramped in the leg department but I could still do long distance trip in it easy. I even talked my sister in to buying one. There fresh
