I bought My 2017 outlander "brand new",, Nov of 2017. I "currently" have 14,500K miles on the ODO.. Traded in a Mirage, for this.. the change was like Night & Day.. I feel like I'm driving a Caddy now.. I've had other Folks that purchased Audi's BMW & Lexis suv's Drive My "cheapo" Outlander, Only too say, they WISH they bought one of these, as It drives/rides about the same as theirs. Oh it cost thousands LESS! My ONLY complaint? the Radio/Stereo isn't Loud enough! ;) Drives & Rides just fine! I average 25~35 MPG depending on the Road conditions & other folks driving like Mad Hatters.. Brakes just fine, (NO "soft pedal"). Gets up & go, While NOT a Muscle Car, Gets up & go's pretty much like any SUV out there.. Plenty of "Cargo Space" for the average "Soccer Mom".. Or label it as a "Grocery getter".. ;) Whomever wrote this review must NOT know how to drive as the CVT Trans, is great, If you abuse the throttle, then YES; you will get the results the reviewer claimed. I even TOW & launch My John Boat, (on a dirt ramp even) with this.. Just fine! After owning this UNDER-Appreciated SUV for 3 years now.. I think I'll keep it till..... Oh the "Warranty" 10 years & 100K & 5 years road assist? Better than "other" manufactures out there.. With constant Recalls My WIFE loves Our Lil cheapo SUV... Give these a look & test drive one, you will NOT be disappointed! SAVE Thousands! (UPDATE), AT 18K miles, no problems, using synthic oil, every 3K, Keeping Maint.. up, NO Problems, getting (UP to) 31MPG highway/25 city,, (takes practice).. ;) Also I have a TOW package, (after Market),, for it, pulls a 3K pound BASS Boat with Ease, NO Problems getting up the boat ramps etc..

This is an updated review after 28000 miles: there is nothing "sport" about this Sport. It needs v6 or turbo. Auto transmission is very slow. Not a lot of room either. No accessories to buy. I hate this car. Looking forward to trade it for used Lexus/Toyota SUVs.. 2020 Update: I sold it. I will never buy Mitsubishi again.

I live in southwestern PA, so 4wd is a must. I was looking for an affordable, reliable suv, hopefully with a sunroof, great stereo, and leather seats, and with a budget around $15k. I did my research and decided to test drive one of these, despite the reviews saying the ride quality is poor. I was very much impressed, this is not a luxury sedan, so expecting it to be is ridiculous, but it compares well with my son's Nissan Rogue in terms of drivability and road noise. I have no idea why the reviews are critical in this area. The 2.4 is very responsive, and I'm getting 22mpg around town. The seats are firm, but comfortable, cargo space is very good, I added a roof rack and a tow hitch for a bike rack and have been hauling my bikes and a kayak easily. I've fit two 15 inch Yamaha speakers, two 10 inch monitors, amp, a folding table, DJ lights, 4 speaker stands, and my DJ controller gear, plus a cooler in the back and could still see out the back window! The Fosgate stereo is awesome, the best feature of the car, I love the many surround sound/eq options, and the subwoofer really works! The all glass roof is fantastic too, it actually seems too nice for this affordable car, the led lighting on the edges is a great touch.

It was a mistake to buy this car

Engine is weak and gas mileage is only 24 mpg in the city. It's too low for 4-cyl car. Car is cheap to buy this car new or used but your get what you paid for: cheap interior and limited cargo area. Market and drivers: drivers are always men in their mid-fifties. In my opinion, any used SUV (Toyota, Honda, Lexus) is better than this one new. Resale value is very and very low after 2 years.
