I have 2015 GT FWD model and its surprisingly comfort ride. I decided to purchase a crossover due to long commute to work and i was looking for price factor(basically a value for money) crossover without moving to a car, I looked at multiple crossovers from different car manufactures and decided to purchase Outlander Sport 2.4L GT model.Wow I'm glad that i bought this car and i really enjoy the car for daily commute. The visibility in the car is excellent same like sitting on any other full size SUV. If you are looking for a smaller, reliable, sporty crossover then its best bet for the price and options. This is not for a family who have more kids as trunk space is too small.
Don't be fooled by "expert" reviews! GREAT CAR!

Edit, after 90k miles, not one repair. Tires have been changed twice and normal maintenance. Car is awesome! Are you kidding? Buy it! We mulled around for two weeks trying to decide between the Honda CRV, Subaru XT and the Outlander Sport. The Mitsubishi had the best warranty by a long shot (not the warranty was much of a concern with Honda or Subaru). It boiled down to bang for your buck. We got a LOADED SE Outlander with the glass roof for around the starting price of the other two. We bought the Mitsubishi thinking we just got more bells and whistles but a cheapo car. Well, we were wrong. We just wrapped up a 2000 mile road trip and we were stunned. Economy: This car averaged 31 MPG over the full distance. (Keep in mind this is the 4X4) The insurance rate was lower than the other two SUVs we were considering. Comfort: I have a very bad back and that is the most comfortable I have been in a car since I drove a Lincoln. It rides, handles and stops very well. Power: Many people comment the power is lacking in this car. My wife and I feel it is just right. It is not slow by any means. 70 -80 mph with no issues through the mountains. Acceleration is actually impressive. MPG is the concern for us and this car finds that balance between power and MPG. The CVT transmission is a little weird at first but you soon get used to the shift or no shift depending on where your foot is on the accelerator. I have fun working with the transmission keeping the MPG maxed out. Design: The interior is not Lexus quality but it is as good if not better than Honda, Toyota or Subaru. We LOVE the Rockford Fosgate stereo system with the touch screen and deep bass. The illuminated glass roof is a treat at night. The exterior is aggressive and sporty. It turns heads. We had several people ask us what kind of car this was and they liked it. Value: We feel we could not have done better with any other car. The Mitsubishi dealers seem happy to have our business instead of considering it a chore to sell us a car (Honda, Subaru). We bought this car for work commuter duty. We have already decided it will be much more than that.

For the price nothing competes

I've been looking for a small cuv and used honda and toyotas are overpriced. Both are great vehicles but you can purchase a brand new outlander sport for what dealers want for the other vehicles used so they are basically taking your trade in for free. The outlander sport has a great warranty and rides really nice for a small cuv. The cvt trans is definitely different than what I'm used to but you can also manually shift it. The 4wd system is really advanced because you can run it in fwd (front wheel drive), auto four wheel drive or lock 4wd when the weather is bad. It stays in 4wd lock until 25 mph the automatically switches back to auto 4wd. I previously had a subaru and really didn't like the fact that it didn't have a similar option. Fuel economy looks to be below average compared to similar vehicles but I opted for the bigger engine so I knew that. Some folks may argue that they don't have as good a resale but you are paying at least 3 to 4 grand less from the start, so the way i look at is how can it be worth more in the end. I keep a vehicle at least 10 years. I really don't think you can believe the expert reviews completely. Better off looking at the consumer reviews. Update 1 Year and 15,000 miles. Put in a k&n air filter getting consistent 29 to 30 mpg. Rear tires seem to wear more than the frontship but will easily see over 20k with them which is good for a factory tire. No real issues except seat cover coming loose. I just put it back in the track with a stick on adhesive. Could not see bringing it back to dealer for that. Do alot of winter driving and they lIke to use rocks as anti skid. This stuff easily nicks the lower edge right in front of rear door wheel wells. Notice 2017 come with a sort of moulding or flare. Mud flaps are probably a good option. No regrets with the 2.4. Plenty of power and does 70 to 80 straight down the highway every day. Again for the price nothing competes! Just under 81k. Doesn't burn a drop of oil. Had the transmission serviced at the dealer at 71k along with recalls as general service. They replaced both rear calipers, wiper arm, and undecorated cross member to protect against northeast winter salt. Still going strong! Update almost 23k latter. Averaging just shy of 30mpg combined driving. Just changed out the stock tires. Could of run them a little longer but were getting a little skittish in heavy rain. All in all good vehicle. Real only complaint is a little bumpy with the short wheelbase. For the price nothing compares. 39000 miles......still going strong. 44000 miles still 50 percent brake pads left! 52000 and going strong. New brakes at 62000....could have gone longer. Had transmission services at 71000 by dealer as routeen service. Dealer also changed rear calipers as some kind of recall although I wasn't having any problems. They also undecorated subframe under recall and replaced a relay and wiper motor arm under recall. No complaints. 5 plus years old. Going to keep it. If you don't care about status and a million buttons and buzzers in a vehicle and just want good reliable transportation. Buy one. Like the title says nothing compares for the price! 105K miles and still going strong. Negatives are the brine and northeast salt used on the roads are starting to show with minor rust and exhaust bolts rusting away. Nothing that a custom exhaust shop couldn't fix for $106 bucks! Was thinking of selling but decided to keep as it has paid for itself. Had a rear driver side wheel bearing and hub sensor go out. NORTHEAST salt was the culprit. Repaired, drove for a while and sold it to buy a new car.

This is my third Mitsubishi. 1991 Galant, 2003 Outlander we still own with 210,000 miles and this 2015 Sport GT. I've owned it for 4 months, 4000 miles and We LOVE it! I've owned Honda, Toyota, Nissan truck and Chevy's. All good cars and trucks, but Mitsubishi NEVER gets the credit it deserves for a Japanese vehicle of Superior quality and lower price than its better advertised competitors. These are Wonderful vehicles, precision built and designed. Available in the U.S. at lower prices for who knows why? lack of advertising... Take advantage of these deals and get a Well designed, quality built Japanese vehicle for a great price! They run FOREVER with just proper maintenance, the exterior stays beautiful with minimum maintenance. how many times I've said to my son "OH U washed the Outlander (03)?'' His answer "NO it rained"... it looked Great. I Love our new 2015 Outlander Sport, the Rochford Fosgate Sound system is Awesome. Performance with the 2.4L is great, mileage is about 25-26 around town. Took her out in unplowed 14'' of snow in 4WD LOCK No problem at all. Heated seats, mirrors, adjustable drivers seat, steering column... 4WD, glass roof, back up camera, much, much more for 20 something K? Plus 10 year/100,000 warranty. I love it! All I can say is give it a chance? Don't listen to the ""so called'' Expert reviews?

i have been a Mitsu owner for 25 years, and 4 trucks, 2 Monteros, and 2 Outlanders, i have never had any problems with any of them, adn still have 2 of them now. These is a very good CUV, i admit the earlier 2013 and 2014, had a sluggish CVT, but otherwise there were great, reliable cars. But like the other review they get NO RESPECT, Mitsubishi created the CUV concept, long before Honda hrv, mazda 3,or those others, i Got a great deal on the vehicle, and fully loaded for $22k, BECAUSE OF OWNER LOYALTY, CAR WAS VALUES AT 28K. The remote start, heated seats, auto climate, auto wipers, auto lights, interior lights, awc, roof racks and 18' wheels. , and more, and it has a simpe and easy entertainment system, and love the controls on the steering wheel, simple and always works . Not a millions plastic buttons to push or turn. it is good in all weather conditions, if you have the right tires, and have some knowledge of how to drive. I really wish they would bring back the Montero/Pajero, or others from the European market.
