185,000 miles before the first major issue

I've owned two other Mitsubishi's and they've all lasted a good long while. I bought this Outlander Sport in 2012 and it drove from NC to VT on numerous occasions dealing with the salt water of Eastern Carolina and the salt roads in New England and the car frame never rusted (the muffler even lasted the life of the car). The interior was noisy however, you hear the road quite a bit and the car has absolutely no acceleration despite being labeled a "sport" utility. That said after 7 years (almost 8) and 185,000 miles the oil pump failed which is right around $2k to repair--but the blue book value for the car is only at $1600. Still, almost 200,000 miles is a decent run for any vehicle.

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.

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.

Well the car was solid but the interior was cheap and the ride was not the most comfortable car, as far as the performance goes it had lack of power plus I did not like the CVT transmission "on any car" I didn't keep the car too long. I ended up purchasing a used car with more luxury items and was more comfortable and had less hard plastic items than the Outlander Sport. I would recommend the car, if you need a good solid reliable car. And if you didn't mind the feel of the car but still wanted the some of the technology that was good, but out of date. The Outlander Sport is stylish!
