After driving this vehicle for 90,000 miles, I can say the best thing about this SUV is the styling; it makes the vehicle look like a much nicer vehicle than it really is. The only other good thing about this vehicle is the mechanical reliability. The rest of the vehicle is pretty mediocre. The engine and transmission are honest; no mechanical issues, they just work as they should, but they aren't going to have any fun along the way. Oil changes are extremely easy due to the ground clearance, and simple engineering. Gas mileage is nothing special. I've never achieved more than 22mpg in suburban driving, and I could get 28mpg on the highway if I just drove the speed limit. The handling is okay unless I'm driving on the highway, then it is awful. I don't know if its the 'sports tuned suspension' or the 18 inch wheels, but it always seemed like I was fighting with the SUV on the highway to keep it under control. I had the alignment checked, and the vehicle looked over a couple of times, but was always told that it was just the way the vehicle drove. In contrast to the mechanical components, the rest of the vehicle wasn't built to last. This vehicle has more dings and dents than any other vehicle I have ever driven. The only positive thing is, after six years there is no rust and I live in the salt belt. The interior plastics of this vehicle are covered with light scratches. It seems that any time I was brushing up against the door, I was scratching it. It's the most fragile vehicle I have ever had. Oh, and about every six months I would find some kind of plastic or metal panel from the under carriage of the vehicle in my driveway. I don't abuse the vehicle, everything just seems to want to fall off.The controls in the vehicle are pretty easy and very basic. My vehicle had automatic windshield wipers and automatic climate control, but they really weren't labeled to stand out. The radio has a LOAD button, giving me the impression the vehicle had a CD changer, but alas it did not. It does have a super complicated and complex Bluetooth voice command system that was probably ahead of its time when it was released, but it does not like my voice, and always messes up. Ex; "Call Mom." = "Okay, calling 911". The adjustable HID headlights are amazing to use, however every other car that comes past me flicks their high beams thinking I have my high beams on, so they get annoying. The big wheels look nice, but the tire size is weird, and tires are expensive. That's actually the reason I traded the vehicle in; I didn't want to invest $1K on tires for a vehicle that had a rapidly depreciating value. All in all, it's an honest vehicle that I won't miss.

Im on my 4th Mitsubishi and I always go to Westboro Mitsubishi in Westboro Mass. I am on my 3rd leased car from them an Outlander Sport SUV 2013 and I love it. The car drives great and handles great in all weather. The Sales and service staff are great and bend over backwards for you. I would definately reccomend this car and this dealership.

I am having this great car for 2 months and got 4000 miles on it. It is so far so great and I am totally satisfied. Especially when you think about the vehicle's price, this is the best value you can ever get. It is very roomy and cozy for long long drive. We drove down to Vegas from San Francisco and to Los Angeles and again drove back to SF (it's about 1k mile) with 3 people and one cello case (which is bigger than golf case) and 2 big luggage and few bags and waters etc in the car. Car was running very good at hills with 3 people and such load in it. And since this is manual transmission, you get more power than cvt and probably more mpg if you put little more effort on it.
Shoulda bought a Subaru

I only had 2 concerns requirements for a new car, higher seating position and descent MPG. With those requirements I completely expected the performance would not impress. The Outlander Sport certainly delivers on that expectation. Very unimpressive. The MPG rating of 28Hwy, 24 city, 26 combined is just a pipe dream. I am averaging 22 MPG and my 100 mile round trip commute is 90% wide open interstate (no traffic to content with). I always watch to make sure the 'ECO' indicator is lit and still only 22MPG. Took the car to the dealer. They 'checked it out', test drove it (with same results as my experience) and called Mitsubishi Tech. Their answer, "Yup, that's what you can expect"
The best for your money

My wife wanted 4x4 to tackle the snow mountain at shoprite and BJ's, kidding ladies. I wanted her to have AWD si I feel safer that she is driving all weather car with my daughter in it. Researched over and over and couldn't find better value. 8.5 ground clearance, AWC one of the best with 4 lock in case of deep snow, comfort seats so she says and my wife is picky, as for the power though it can use more but you can always use the manual shifter by the steering wheel and pass with no issue, 710 W Rockoford Fostage, I want that in my car amazing sound if you enjoy your music, HD headlights cover four lane in the highway bright like a daylight, enough cargo for small family but fun safe AWD
