This is my 2nd Mitsu. I put 50k + on a 2014 Lancer and never had an issue. Great car. This Outlander Sport is fun to drive, unbelievably reliable and great utility. This is a very competitive segment and this Outlander Sport is very competitive. The value is terrific. We have owned for 3 months and put almost 9k miles on it. Very comfortable on long drives. Looks great too. Mitsub may not be real popular in the US but ubiquitous everywhere else. Definitely check this one out. Plus the dealer in Raleigh is fantastic. After 8 months of ownership we are still very pleased with our purchase. No unscheduled maintenance or issues. I'm seeing more and more of these Outlander Sports on the road so the word must be spreading. 1 year update - Still like this car. Runs great, still comfortable. Gas mileage is still good. no issues.

Love our new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT

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.

I read the reviews for this vehicle and just knew it was the worst vehicle since the Yugo. But.....I decided to test drive it and determine for myself; I'm glad I did. With almost 13,000 miles on the clock, it's only seen the shop for oil change and tire rotations. HID headlights, LED taillights, Bluetooth, heated seats, climate control, power drivers seat, PW, keyless entry, and on and on and on. It has every toy I could possible want and it does everything right. Today we loaded 750 pounds of dog food in the back; 15 each 50 pound dog food. There was room for more and I couldn't even tell the load was in the back. I still got 30 mpg on the 30 mile trip back home. We drove from Phoenix some 200 miles up to the White Mountains at 75 mph and still got 29 mpg. 1200' above sea level to 7000'. The seats are a little stiff and the interior has some cheap looking plastic, but it's $10,000 less than any competition and I can live with a few shortcomings for that kind of money. I paid just under $20k and got this amazing vehicle with a ten year bumper to bumper warranty. Great mileage, great storage capacity, almost every toy and the best warranty in the business. UPDATE: Almost a year later, nothing has changed. Rock solid. No problems and dealer service from Mark Mitsubishi is terrific. $39 for an oil change, tire rotation and car wash. You simply can't go wrong with this vehicle. UPDATE August 2020: Nothing has changed. This is a great car. No problems; just normal oil changes and scheduled maintenance.

WOW! 2015 Outlander Sport GT one year later

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!

Authentic Japanese Import

2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
9 of 10 people found this review helpful

Outlander Sport/RVR/ASX is the best small SUV available worldwide. This has excellent all around quality because it is built at their flagship factory/r&d center. This SUV feels very foreign compared to the competition. This is an authentic Japanese SUV built mainly for Asia and Russia as demonstrated by the voice activated system speaking in Japanese and the driver information screen originally showing Japanese or Russian before being reset. Paid less for a new Outlander Sport than I paid for a car in 2000. The only bad thing about this SUV is that it is only 96% made in Japan while the 2018 Outlander Sport is 99% made in Japan, and the 2017 Outlander V6 is 100% made in Japan. This is the best vehicle for quality and reliability I have ever owned.
