Used 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Consumer Reviews
I like my Outlander Sport
I have been very happy with his car after putting good all season radial tires on it. the factory provided tires are very poor in snow
2015 Outlander Sport
Great little SUV, drives like a car, big enough for 4 people, huge trunk for its size, great great mileage.

Rattle Can on Wheels
I bought this little thing used with 48,000 miles and at 58,000 the 4 wheel drive system failed. I had extended warranty which refused to fix the issue the car sat for 6 months waiting on parts. Finally got it back and the rattles slowly started now its embarrassing to start the car in front of anyone I know because so much noise is being produced. The horrid cvt transmission is whining and I can only imagine when that will fail. The back tail gate is starting to rust I can see it under the paint the plastic interior is so scratched up a tiny scuff with leave a mark. It rides like a horse and carriage and it guzzles gas to have such a small engine. I also have never owned a car with this low of miles that burns oil like this thing does

If you live with snow, stay away
I live in Minnesota, and we get a lot of snow usually. So I thought an all wheel drive would be a great choice for my commute vehicle. Well, when it snows I'm in fear of driving this car. It has the factory Nexen tires I'm familiar with. They are known to be cheap summer tires people put on custom after market rims for summer driving. They claim to be all season with light snow rating, could not be anymore inaccurate. I will be buying new tires before our next winter to see it it helps. But coming from the factory, this car scares me driving in any kind of snow. Even if it's only a few inches. It reminds me of my younger years trying to drive a car on bald tires in snow. Even in all wheel drive it does not handle or stop with 2 inches of snow. Aside from that, once the brakes locked up on me after driving through a snow 6 inch snow bank. I couldn't have been going more than 5mph and the brakes did not function and left me sliding 2 car lengths before I stopped. I had no control, luckily I was in a parking lot. I am very lucky the one winter I drove this vehicle we seen a very low amount of snowfall and I have another vehicle to use. Besides all of the awful unsafe winter use of this vehicle, it's not bad. It had one recall repair already for potential stalling when hitting the accelerator, which mine never did. Another problem I had multiple times was with long road trips and using cruise control. It would just stop working completely. When I would hit traffic or non passable cars and turn off the cruise control a few times within a short time it would stop working until I was done driving and had the car parked for awhile. The acceleration is the worst of any car I have ever owned in my life. It is so slow from a dead stop that I will not pull out in traffic unless the next upcoming car is 2 or 3 football fields away. Once on the road acceleration is ok. Summer driving is good. On average tank of gas I will average 26-28mpg with 80% highway. Every single fill up I hand dial to see. Winter driving averages 22-25 with 70% city driving. Overall would I buy this vehicle know all that? That is a BIG NO. After a year of ownership I looked into trading it in and it depreciated A LOT . Easily worth 25% less than when I bought it. If I bought a new pickup truck I would see 25% drop until it was paid off. This is not a safe winter vehicle, maybe new tires will help, but I'm not sure about the brake issue with snow.

Dont expect to much
Does not get great MPG! I only get 16 MPG running around town. Traded in a large 6.0 yukon that got 13 MPG thinking this would do better. Noisy and cheap, They put 18" tires hoping to give it a better ride but sill rides rough. Its a compact car trying to be a crossover SUV. But for a cheap 4x4 its worth the money. It does has a great warranty. The SE is way better inside than the ES, But the ES is cheaper to. Dont expect to wow! anyone with this car. Nothing great about it? Except you cant by a cheaper 4x4 for the price. And no towing at all! No class 2 hitch for bikes are allowed, voids the warranty. So forget about taking bikes and kids someplace.
