Used 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Consumer Reviews
Bought new for $18K with the 2.4 and happy
My wife commutes to work 40+ miles a day and I'm not into throwing money away on racking up mileage on a nice car. Been there done that. So this one was on sale and I used trucar to get this for around $18K new. I got the 2.4L, no issues with power. It's a basic no frills Japanese compact SUV. Decent comfort and had held up. Almost no bells and whistles. Storage behind the rear seat is below average, with the seats folded OK. So why 5 stars? For the money I couldn't be happier. It's worked well as a cheap commuter and my repair costs have been $0.00. Handling and braking is good. Fuel mileage is average. Paint and trim has held up. Mitshu gets a bad rap, but in 50K+ miles I'm completely satisfied with how this has held up. It's overall dynamics are exactly as it was when I drove it off the lot new. Her previous Nissan Quest couldn't make that claim nor the Chrysler T&C from before that. One more thing: you do your own oil changes, this may be the fastest with no jack needed and everything easily accessible. I get it done in 10 min or less. So if you have your nice car at home and need a commuter on a budget I'd recommend this for sure. I'm sure used these are dirt cheap.

Problematic SUV stay away!!
Bought brand new 2015 Mitsubishi outlander sport , did follow all manufacture, maintenance schedule, unfortunately experienced many unpleasant situations including catalytic converter failed after 7 years ( cost around $2400 ) to replace a new catalytic converter.. transmission failed the very next year and cost me around $8000 to replace it … my advise is to stay away from outlander sports suv .. nothing but problems one after another ..

Best handling SUV
Jan/2016 bought new I've had Subys toyos and bmw awd systems and I can testify this is the best with the least amount of expensive year over year ownership cost.. is it top of the line no it's super basic exterior and interior.. but the mechanical is hands down the best... October 2024- Still runs like a top 0 maintance done to the car outside of oil changes and tires. I would say it is the most reliable suv i have driven it in ice and snow and drives amazing. Only down side is that it chews through tires. I am at 120k miles and running. Plan on buying a brand new 2.4 Outlander.

I named mine, Carl.
I've had Carl now for a year and it's the best sm lil SUV I've ever driven, it's 2.4 and 18 in. Wheels sometimes bark off acceleration from stops... OOOPPPSS! But I definitely recommend this vehicle.

Surprisingly wonderful
I have seen many reviews, most very contradictory to themselves. So I thought I'd set the record straight. Our "Mitsy" is overall a GREAT vehicle. I agree the interior is cheap. Looks cheap feels cheap. Seats are so so. Everything else is pretty damn good. Rides great, is excellent in bad weather. Our Mitsy has 70k on her and ZERO problems. We just put on new tires for the first time. Other than maintenance she is all original. Strong motor and fast exceleration. Very affordable and capable suv/cuv or whatever they are called now.
