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.

I’m a college commuter, and was looking for a crossover size vehicle since I like the extra room. I didn’t initally plan on looking at the Outlander Sport, but I am so glad that I did! My car drives 40 miles one way, 5 days a week, and I have not had a single problem with it. I live in the hilly region of western PA where we can see some harsh winter weather conditions, but this car (4WD) takes on snow and ice with no problem. I even recently took it on vacation, a 530 mile journey one way, and had no problems. The only drawback I would say about this car is the power. Like I said, I live in a hilly region and I have to step on the gas to keep the speed consistent. Also, power can be lacking while getting up to speed merging onto highways. These are just small drawbacks, however, considering the reliability and mileage that you get. The road handling is great, and it is an overall fun car to drive. Not to mention, in the event something does need fixing, you can’t beat the Mitsubishi warranty. Don’t underestimate this car, I am so glad I made the decision to go with it!

One of the biggest reasons I bought Mitsibishi was the 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty on the powertrain. Well I had to use it at the 17,500 mile mark. A new transmission had to be installed! Tech at the dealership said he has had several he has had to replace and Mitsibishi knows they have a problem. So why not a recall? Will be looking to sell or trade come spring of 2018, mileage has fallen off since new tranny was installed, driver's side power window is acting funny. After 27 months of ownership and 18,500 miles on the SUV, I have come to the conculsion that the vehicle is under powered. It needs a 6 cylinder in it. My time as a Mitsibishi owner is about up.

Update June 2020. Car has 70,000 miles on it. It has been my wife’s daily driver since we bought it new in 2015. 5 years and 70k miles of absolutely trouble free driving taken on very long trips, short trips, medium trips and whatever lies in between. We replaced tires at about 50k, the NPrez stock tires were not great in winter. Replaced with nankang cross sport sp-9s and the car handles even better than before. One issue so far, rust started on the back hatch which is addressed in a TSB issued in 2017. Hopefully dealer takes care of as warranty. Other than that we still feel like we’re in a dream! Update 2018: just over 3 years from purchase our car has 50,000 miles on it. Not one repair to date, just oil changes and it now needs tires before winter. We could not be any happier with this purchase, mileage has steadily increased since we bought it. On the highway it’s pretty easy to get 30mpg. The car still looks fantastic and current, just could not be happier! We picked up a 2015 outlander sport se 4wd. It is awesome. The backseat has more room for me at 6'2" than our Jeep Grand Cherokee. People who think this vehicle has pokey acceleration were not taught how to use the CVT transmission properly. It's just like a snowmobile or automatic 4wheeler. It has a "powerband" in the 3-5000 rpm range. If you keep the Rpms in this range it's pretty dang snappy, even while moving at about 45. It has a great ride, it's quiet, it looks great, I don't know what more I can say. LED driving lights, fog lights, paddle shifters, auto climate control, touch screen stereo, backup camera, heated seats, adjustable headlights, I mean. What more can you ask for an suv that costs $21K?!? Oh yeah. 30mpgs and 4wheel drive! It's ridiculous. Knock it all you want, but I'll take a $300/month payment for a brand new suv all day. Try it with any other brand with those options. Good luck!

Ignore the experts for the money this is hands down the best deal you can get as far as slow acceleration maybe a little however drive it in stick mode and it moves, drives great in the snow easy to maintain and good on gas so check it out
