Wishing for more

Wishing for better mileage - Got about 25 on my first all highway road trip. Not much better than I get in town. Maybe it will get better when the engine loosens up a little. Wishing for more performance - Not terrible but far from a "Sporty" experience Wishing for nicer finishes - nothing objectionable, but it seems it could be better with just a little effort Could not be happier with the deal, though. I would have had to pay several thousand more to get a Crossover I liked better. Warranty is great, too. I'm glad because my previous Monterro cost me a ton and was worth nothing when I traded it in.

Very nice Suv to own...with a roof rack I could haul just about anything...dependable...in 5 years I only had to purchase tires, rear brakes, regular oil changes. The dealerships are few and far between for convenience. The closest dealership was 55 miles from me. I traded it in last week and went to a different manufacturer because the I used for for repairs was rude, and not exactly customer friendly!

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.

5 spd manual transmission

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.

So upset about the gas mileage - any tips?

I traded in my VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI because I just wanted to move past the heart break of being lied to and ruining the environment, and didn't want the anxiety of waiting to see what VW would do to the car to make it pass emissions in a couple months... BUT I was getting about 40 mpg on the VW, and diesel was cheaper than gas (at the right stations). Well, I fell in love with the Mistubishi Outlander Sport (it had been on my short list when I bought the VW), and the dealership took my VW for trade-in so the Mitsu didn't cost me much (same year and pretty much same mileage as my VW), and I felt really good about the weight off my shoulders. I set the odometer, and needed a fill up at 270 miles - that's 20 mpg, or HALF what I was getting on the VW, and at higher cost per fill-up. I thought 'let me try the manual controls, and not run the a/c so much before I go marching back to the dealership'. Well, next fill-up was today, at 260 miles! WTF, Mitsubishi? How can that be? What can I do differently to get the MPG you said I would get? The last thing I need is to feel guilty about my trade-in after the whole VW fiasco!

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"

Mitsubishi deserves to fail

Where to start...rattles galore on a brand new car, idle that wants to destroy itself by jumping into the 3,000 rpm range after the first clutch engagement, that obnoxious chime that you can't disable when the temp hits 37 degrees. Oh, and come to find out my "new" car was damaged in transit, repainted, and the damage was not disclosed. When I called Mitsubishi about the body damage they wouldn't tell me how much they paid the dealer to fix the damage or sanction the dealer for non-disclosure; in fact, they were no help at all. In my opinion Mitsubishi deserves to go the way of Suzuki and disappear from the American market.

Great little SUV

I really like my Outlander Sport I have owned it for 4 years now and it has been a very reliable car. It has a decent ride and handles nicely. My one big negative would be the CVT transmission. It is very hard to get used to.Also It makes the car seem under powered along with the 2.0 motor. I average about 28 mpg which is good to me. For an inexpensive good looking SUV I feel like I make a good purchase
