Update - 3/28/22 170,000 miles - Still would recommend this car to anyone looking for an extremely reliable and adorable SUV. Still only have had to do routine maintenance. I have had no mechanical problems at all. After the transmission fluid was flushed/changed at 100K the CVT has actually been much better. Gas mileage is still the same but I do really love this vehicle. I bought this vehicle brand new in April of 2016. I have 74k on the vehicle now and have had no issues at all with the car. The only thing I have had to do is take it in for a few recalls, plus normal maintenance. My main gripe with this car is the gas mileage. In the summer it seems to do okay. I average about 27 with mainly highway driving. However in the winter I am lucky to get 24. I'm not sure if it's just my car that has this issue because other reviewers have said theirs is much higher. The CVT is not great in this car. I do feel sometimes the engine is a bit under powered. I previously owned a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer and the CVT in that was tuned much better. I definitely feel like Mitsubishi is a reliable brand and for the price it is one of the best vehicles in its class. I wish when I bought this car I would have gotten a higher end model. However, for the money you really can't beat it. This has been my daily driver for 4 years now and it is a nice place to spend time. Overall I am very pleased with the Mitsubishi brand. If I ever get rid of this car I would definitely purchase another Mitsubishi. Do not listen to the YouTube reviewers. Go drive one for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

I have owned about a dozen cars over the years, including two of the original SUVs, a 1975 International Scout II and a 1980 Ford Bronco. I don't plan to go off road, but the 4WD is handy in Illinois winters, it handles well in wet/icy conditions. The exterior dimensions are well balanced. Not too long, width adequate and height is just right. The exterior styling is stunning from any angle, and the overall look of the vehicle is well proportioned. I didn't need a larger vehicle, I don't do any major hauling, but with roof rails, it can easily handle larger items such as dining tables or bedroom sets. The Sport performs as good as any mid level sedan or CUV, the 2.4L has very good acceleration and torque, so highway merging is not a problem. Ride comfort is no different either, but as smooth and quiet as can be expected at this price. Interior materials remain basic, dashboard layout is functional, although a bit bland looking. Where the Sport rocks is the Rockford Fosgate navigation system and 710 watt system with a 10" built in subwoofer, which sounds awesome at lower volumes, and still keeps rocking at highway speeds without blowing my ears out. This trim level has all the expected options, power everything, heated leather, moon roof with mood lighting, etc. Before I purchased, I read many of the reviews, Many were less than complimentary. I can say as an owner for 18 mos that those reviews are unfounded. The Sport not expected to compete with upper end vehicles. Check out this Mitsubishi and see for yourself. update 03 25 19: I have added a Curt hitch with a 2" receiver for a Thule 2-bicycle rack. Installation was super easy. Vehicle performance has not changed.

Best car for the money

This is such a great value. If you purchase a similar vehicle from a different manufacturer you'll be paying too much. The engine and transmission are great, it accelerates faster than expected with the 2.4 liter engine. I would recommend this car to my family members.

Just purchased this vehicle from Goldstein Auto Albany and its a great little ride, excellent on gas and great size to, room enough for a small family and also room for the groceries in the back cargo area and easy to get to. I have heard these vehicles are great in the snow , so i'm looking forward to not getting stuck in the snow this winter.

I bought a 2015 Outlander Sport new at the end of the year 2015, paid roughly $16k before taxes/etc. Main selling point was the warranty and the fact that I could find one with a manual transmission. I have run the warranty out and have never used it. Car has 107k on it now and have had zero issues. Admittedly, it isn't the quickest car in the world or the most feature packed but mine is the base of base models (ES, 2wd, 5 speed), but I would happily buy one of these again for how reliable it's been. Only other downside is it wasn't great in the first winter I had it but a decent set of winter tires cured that.
