2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 GT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
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.
Love my Mitsubishi!!!

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 GT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
I've had the Outlander Sport for 1 month now, and the vehicle is awesome!! I have the GT with the 2.4 liter engine (FWD not 4WD), upgraded stereo with subwoofer, navigation system, huge skylight and hid headlights. The hid headlights are incredible. The main light comes from a projector lens, but there's also a port for reflected light to shoot out the sides of the housing. Driving at … night, especially in dark areas without streetlights, is where these headlights really perform. I just drove on a 3-lane expressway at night, where streetlights were not on for a segment of the road. I drove in the middle lane, and the headlights lit up the center lane AND the lanes to the left and right. In another dark road I saw a fox on the road ahead of me (the headlights startled it) and I was able to follow the scruffy creature as it ran off the side of the road. Another night I saw a cat on the side of the road that turned around and moved further away from the road.
The cvt transmission really lowers the engine's rpm's when not pressing hard on the accelerator. Cruising at 40 mph, the engine is at a quiet 1400 rpm's; cruising at 60 mph the engine is just below 2000 rpm's, 70 mph results in 2100 rpm's (and the engine is still smooth and quiet).
The upgraded stereo sounds fantastic. The navigation system screen rotates out to allow cd's to be inserted into the stereo. Cellphone connects up to the car via bluetooth (done by car dealer the day I got the Mitsu). I thought my old mp3 player without bluetooth technology wouldn't connect to the car, but it does. There is a usb port in the compartment between the driver and front passenger seats. I hooked up the old mp3 player to that usb port (via the cord that came with the mp3 player) and the artists and albums populated on the Mitsu's touch screen, allowing me to choose what music to play.
I haven't had this car long enough to comment on long-term reliability but so far it has been fun to drive.
WOW! 2015 Outlander Sport GT one year later

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 GT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
I bought the 2015 Outlander Sport GT back in April 2015 so have owned it for more than a year. Wow! What a nice vehicle. I got a gray one with the Touring package, Rockford Fosgate sound system, panoramic roof, cargo package, and exterior side moldings. The GT version also comes with the 2.4 liter engine.
For me it drives beautifully. Nice pickup and acceleration with the improved … engine. The black leather interior and matching black carpet make the interior fell rich and comfortable. The navigation system/audio system is LOADED with features and looks and sounds great. At the push of a button the ceiling retreats and panoramic roof with its LED backlighting appears-- very impressive!
Best Features:
The sound system is too cool and if you like bottom-end bass you will learn to rock out! Night driving with the panoramic roof open and the stereo loud will make you want to take more night drives! It was easy to pair my IPhone to the system and having the system controls on the steering wheel is convenient . The leather heated seats are very comfy and the dashboard layout was nicely thought out. There is also ample leg room for rear passengers. The gas mileage is also good--my best is 33 MPG and it averages 26-28 MPG on my 19 mile commute to work.
Could be better features:
I am not yet sold on the voice activation of the phone or navigation system. Maybe it needs to learn my voice and after one year of trying you would have thought it would have my voice down pat? And, Mitsubishi should rethink the "book" it gives as owners manuals. I find the manuals to be confusing and contain too much info and printed in typeface much too small for my eyes. And, after a year of driving, the shocks could be better. And lastly, the rear cargo area is small but certainly ample for most shopping expeditions as long as you don't buy any really larger size items. That being said, I really like the GT!
Love our new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT
MKR, Oswego, NY, 08/13/2015
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 GT 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
We love the size and colors available. It has a lot of pep with the 2.4 engine. Good style for what the newer SUV's are today. The ride is very comfortable. Dealer was good and we got a deal that we were happy with. We added the rain guards over the windows as they are great when it is raining. Easy to understand most of the controls and the dealer went through the controls inside … before we left the lot. They set-up my Bluetooth phone. We are very happy and this will last us many years. We are retired and don't do much traveling and we have a second SUV. I agree that you need to test drive this to make a decision. Don't sell this SUV short.
