It looks better than it is

Really, the title says it all. I got my fully optioned AWD outlander sport in 2012 and have put around 10,000 miles on it. As far as reliability, its been great, though you'd expect that from a brand new car. The driveability of the car is far from sporty. While it may be AWD with paddle shifters, it doesnt offer much fun to the driver. The gas mileage on it is absolutely average. I do have to say, it looks pretty good on the outside, especially with the rim package! If you're looking for a car with good gas mileage or a bit more performance, look elsewhere.

mits outlander sport nav system

Purchased a 2011 mits outlander sport with nav and what a ripoff! The maps are outdated (2009), will not locate or direct to streets that have been built since 2005. Even my old Tom Tom sees these roads. Paid $2000.00+ and you get a 2009 map? I called the dealer (said that is the latest ) and Mits directly and have not heard a word from them. DON'T BUY THE NAV IF YOU ARE BUYING A NEW MITS AUTO!!! I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL MITS AUTO BUYER SINCE THE 90'S (3000GT VR4, MONTERO, OUTLANDER, AND NOW OUTLANDER SPORT) Make sure you ask the right question before purchasing.

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

I purchased a 2012 Outlander Sport with 12,000 miles on it a little over a month ago, upgrading from a '06 Cobalt Coupe. All I can say is that I absolutely love this car and have no regrets making the purchase. I read every possible review on the vehicle I could find before making the purchase, so I thought it would be helpful to post my thoughts on the car. Overall I feel like a got a affordable yet reliable SUV with all the features of a more "luxury" brand.
