I don't know why "experts" are so harsh on this vehicle. We initially looked at the 2015 outlander sport based on looks alone. Even the ES base features are nice such as blue tooth. The outlander isn't noticeably slow as some reviews state, and it more than makes up for that by incredible MPG even with 4x4. Some reviews also said the engine is loud, but I didn't notice that over the awesome premium sound system that comes standard. The warranty, price and quality are unmatched. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Resale terrible. Only 15500 miles and not even worth $11G’s. A-post cover was loose, transmission recall for programming, driver door window came loose, ESP was acting up. Getting in back seat is tight. Do like rear parking sensors. Original tires not good in snow. Put Goodyear Assurances on much better. Interior post drive frost build up is terrible, have to scrape inside if in a hurry. Purchased after Suzuki left US. Traded from a Grand Vitara. Trying to ride out the resale devalue until I trade up. Great dealer maintenance!!!!!

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.

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.
