This review is for the base model, with a 5 speed manual transmission. A bit about myself; I am 6'4" tall, approaching 300 lbs. I have been driving since 1989, and driving an MR2 at HPDE's at various east coast tracks since 2009. I purchased my Outlander Sport brand new after test driving it, despite the expert reviews. Thanks to those reviews, I was able to have the dealer throw in, and install fog lights, and spent only $16,800. This includes the ridiculous warranty they offer. I've been driving it now for almost 5 years, and will most likely keep it for the long haul as my daily driver. I enjoy it's quirks. It was the last model without the fancy info-tainment screen, and all electronics have been solid. Speakers are just ok, and the AC is ice cold, but noisy. In terms of space, the front seats are extremely comfortable, and adjustable to give you a controlling view. The rear seats are cramped, but manageable, and fold down to let you carry quite a bit. Two cupholders in the center console, and two in the door. Nice storage area in the center console for any small things you want hidden. It is slow. You have to row through the gears quickly to go anywhere, however as most have you have no doubt noticed, no matter how slow you are, people around you in much faster cars are trying to out-slow you, and you end up being fastest by default... maybe genetics, don't know. The engine is loud accelerating, but otherwise not noticeable once speed is reached. Third gear is outstandingly long to help you reach freeway speed no problem, and there is no need to downshift to pass at highway speeds. I have had no engine issues, or any issues. Let's just get that out of the way, oil changes, and tire rotations have been the limit of my maintenance. Oh, and I changed the rear wiper... it dry rotted. The suspension on this vehicle is what irks me the most, but I've grown to love the challenge. At times it feels like you're driving a Ryder box truck on the Autobahn. It's due to a soft suspension, skinny tires, and horrible spec alignment. I wouldn't change the suspension. If the Nexen tires that came with it ever wear down, I will install wider tires, and at that point, I'd have my alignment guy give it a slightly more aggressive stance. We're talking the cost of tires, and an alignment, to make this thing handle well, and maintain comfort. Lastly, it performs well in all weather, and is especially competent in snow, again... on the factory tires. I understand people like fancy things. The Outlander Sport is not that, but it's been a reliable, fuel efficient, decently sized, adaptable vehicle, with a manual transmission. That's all I need.

2.4 L AWD GT Outlander Sport

This is my first Mitsubishi after owning an Acura TL and prior to that owning Fords and Chevrolets. I am pleased with vehicle so far(500 miles in...) it has all the bells and whistles that I wanted at a most affordable price(compared to similar models and options) along with the best warranty bumper to bumper and powertrain in the industry(The dealer I purchased from adds a lifetime powertrain warranty). Little things that I liked about this model are the heated seats(they heat up really fast and get quite toasty), backup monitor, parking assist sensors, mirror turn lamps, and fog lamps. Fuel economy is around 25 mph between city and highway(a little better when I turn off the AWD to 2 wheel drive only.

A very reliable vehicle. Excellent on icy roads. 2.4 engine a better option than the 2.0.

Traded in a POS Compass

Traded in the pathetic Compass for an Outlander Sport. The 2.4 in the Outlander and the refined CVT make the Compass look like, well, a Compass. I was very skeptical after reading other reviews, but really liked the styling. After test driving the Outlander Sport, I was sold. This is a very nice vehicle with an attractive warranty. The Compass has the same motor size and a CVT transmission, but there is a huge difference in the two. The Outlander Sport rides nice, has sufficient power with the 2.4 and is at least unique. Not one person in my county has the same vehicle. The dealership was outstanding as well. Go buy an Outlander Sport!

just picked up my brand-new 2015 outlander GT sport with the 2.4 L engine and the paddle shifters . the power this vehicle has for an all-wheel-drive model is amazing I can't tell you enough how great this car is to drive need to stop down and try it out what a difference from the original vehicles they have been complaining about with the small underpowered 2.0 motor . I just got it and cannot stop smiling get to your dealer and road test one with the paddle shifters. The only complaint I have is the real window visibility in the rearview mirror is kind of hard to see very small rear hatch window.
