Beware of seduction
You should know that this vehicle for all its charm is plagued by a huge drawback, it's transmission will certainly fail you , 60 -120 thousand miles and plan on a $6000 replacement fee or have a good warranty. Then if lucky, find someone to put it in for you. It will fail suddenly without warning and the dealer will bleed you in "diagnostic" fees, the ultimate answer will be replacement. This vehicle is a bad one. It's the dreaded cvt, get somthing reliable if you exceed 50k miles

Tires
Bought this brand new in January of 2016. No problems until it snowed a little. Car slipped and slid down the road less than a mile from my home toward my destination. The Anti lock system engaged and could not control the car. These tires that the factory put on, are garbage. My car was built in Normal IL, and we all know about snow here. Why didn't they put all terrain tires on this car is beyond me.

2015 Navigation system SUCKS
The navigation system on the 2015 model uses voice controls for phone and navigation. However, I only recently discovered after buying my car and not being able to use voice controls to enter a destination address that for everything this super duper deluxe navigation system does it doesn't do the one very important function of a navigation system. Which is being able to speak the address you want to go to and have the car actually get you there. You have to manually enter an address unlike the many other cars out there with voice navigation. in my opinion this is one of the worst navigation systems i have ever seen. My little portable Garmin is better and actually works!
Made in Illinois POS
Pros: decent on gas. Small. Cons: Small. Unreliable: In less than 3000 miles, this vehicle developed a transmission shudder (CVT), the airbag and seat belt warnings came on, and finally the tire pressure warnings came on. Comfort: It's horridly uncomfortable for an average American. Suspension bottoms out when the vehicle is loaded, and It doesn't have anywhere near the ground clearance needed. Obviously not designed for anything off road - not recommended at all. The Outlander might be an upsize for small-statured folks in the country of origin, but if you're over 6' or 250 lbs, fuggettaboutit. Convenience: The sunvisors don't extend. There's no aux audio input for an mp3 player. The A/C is weak and can't cope with 105 degree days. Bluetooth does pair up with your phone quickly and phone calls work good. Performance: Nonexistent from idle to 3500 rpm. The throttle needs gouged to spin the motor to redline. Highway passes made easily but the car sounds like it's coming apart when flogged. Transmission shifts are atrocious and a pronounced driveline shudder appeared in the first month. Safety: given the cramped quarters in the foot area, in the event of a frontal crash, you'd be pinned in the car with two broken legs. Given that the airbag lights came on in the first three months of use, the car seems like a death trap waiting to spring. Reliability: nonexistent. The car accumulated more issues every month. Dealers are only located in metropolitan areas, for us a 150 mile drive. Overall: We turned this POS back into GSA and pray they don't ever, ever issue this model to anyone else.
