Actually bought it instead of the Subaru Crosstrek

The visibility for the driver is great. I backed out of the Crosstrek because it honestly was useless trying to look out rear window. The 2.4 is plenty peppy. Seems every professional review comments on the power and they mainly describe to 2.0. The technology is usually a reason the professionals down grade this SUV but I really did not want to buy all the expensive tech stuff (but much of it is available). Ride is fine and i did not notice any real difference from the Subaru. The Honda HRC was another option - worse visibility than the Crosstrek. I wanted a small SUV and found this body style way more useful than the fastback styles. With Nissan buying 34% ownership in Misubishi in 2017 (by far the majority owner) I am comfortable for future service. For a bit less than similar equipped rue and honda I got over 8" ground clearance, 168 hp, very acceptable ride, noise etc. My purchase price included total coverage for 10 years or 100,000 miles with a vanishing deductible. Mitsubishi has been a leader in 4 wheel drive systems for years. Value for the dollar, reliability and warranty, a dated but still one of the best looking small suv forms are some of my reasons for buying. In the end I could not be "brand shamed" into not buying this car. We have owned the Imprezza before in our family - good car some flaws but over all reliability is average in most reviews. I'm really glad I looked at this cat. It is our second car our bigger vehicle is a Honda Pilot 2013.

I've owned Toyota Corolla's the last 15 years, and after not being happy with the last one, decided to try something different. I always liked the muscular looks of this car, and test drove all it's competitors before giving it it a try. The 2.4 liter has plenty of passing power, and I get low 20's mpg, doing almost all city driving. Highway is close to 30. For under 20k, I got 4wd, push button start, tinted windows, heated seats, and 10 yr/100,00 mile warranty. *** Update. After owning this car for 2-1/2 years I traded it in. The seats are terribly uncomfortable. I took it on a 7 hour road trip and my back was killing me half way through. My phone's Bluetooth has connected with every car except this one. So no hands free. Gas mileage isn't great. The USB port didn't work, so couldn't charge my phone or play music from it. This is a good, reliable, inexpensive car, but if you're looking for a better driving experience, I would go with another brand.

If you are looking for a luxury vehicle, this is not it. If you are looking for a competent small SUV that seats 4 comfortably and 5 in a pinch, this should be high on your list. I got mine well-equipped for 19.5K with door jamb and rear bumper guards (well worth it). It is super smooth with the CVT transmission. No "shift points", just smooth power delivery. The heated front buckets are great in the Minnesota winter, but don't breath very well in hot, humid weather (black interior doesn't help either). The entertainment center has a so-so touch screen and it occasionally seems to reset itself when you shut off the car and start it later. The USB port is in the center console, and I wish it was in the dash. However, the sound is quite good from this system. Whoever did the TS interface for this needs to make it work better. The climate controls and heated seat switches are kind of a reach. I see they moved them up in the new SUV they introduced recently. The drivetrain is great, and it is very competent on snow and ice. The brakes are powerful and smooth. The backup camera is offset 6 inches, which makes backing up a little screwy, but it works. The keyless entry is a bit confusing. A lot of the entry alarms are programmable, but the easiest way to lock it and unlock it is by the buttons on the outside door handles and tailgate. It is my second Outlander Sport. My 2016 was totaled by a red light runner who pinballed a Cooper Mini into my grill in a snowstorm. I really like this SUV and would buy one again (I did right after the accident). 3/28/2019 After 1 year everything I wrote before hold true. One last criticism is of the wipers and washers. A giant blade in front of the driver and a smaller one on the passenger side works, but not well. The washer fluid squirts instead of spraying, which doesn't work the best. The rear washer squirts down one side, so you need more fluid to get the whole wiper area. Don't get me wrong though. I love my Outlander Sport. Like all vehicles, it could be better. 3/29/2020 I now have 42K miles on it and it has been very dependable. No issues whatsoever. However, it needed new tires and installed Goodyear Assurance All-Season tires. The original tires wore out rather quickly and were not confidence inspiring. The Goodyears are a major upgrade. Still don't like the 37 degree "possible icy road" warning. Very annoying and ridiculous. I think I can tell when roads are icy here in MN. We had a rental Ford Fusion while my wife's Toyota was in the shop and it's keyless doors worked a lot better (no button pushing). The Fusion also had wipers that pushed inside out (swipes from center to edge) instead of side to side.That works a LOT better. I still like the Mitsubishi and would buy one again. Will hit 90K at the next oil change. Zero problems.
