I've always loved the styling of the outlander sport but never pulled the trigger to buy based on expert reviews. I was in the market for a new car and figured id give the sport i chance.. I am very happy I did! It's got great curb appeal, awesome safety ratings, excellent warranty, priced Well & handles good. Very happy I went with my gut and not "expert reviews". Needless to say this suv is very underappreciated.

At first, I loved this car, but after 1 year, I was done! In that year, I've had the a/c compressor and condenser replaced, driver's seat replaced, headlight assy replaced, coils replaced, it would never shift, so I had to drive it in manual mode most of the time, it had ZERO pickup, so much so that I had to mash the accelerator to merge into traffic, then the torque steer would nearly pull you off the road. The dealer would always say "it's normal", until the parts finally failed altogether. Near the end, they replaced the transmission, which helped for about a week, then back to poor performance again. Two weeks after the transmission was replaced, all the dash lights came on, engine overheated! Pulled over and popped the hood, no coolant....ANYWHERE! Not a drop in the radiator, coolant tank, no spray in the engine compartment...none. dealer picked up the car, and after 3 days said I had a hole in the radiator, complete BS! I've worked with cars as a job for over 25 years, that was the first thing I checked. Called mitsubishi for help, THEY BLAMED ME FOR TAKING THE CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIP!! They refused to anything but replace the radiator. I drove to the dealership and handed them the keys, told them it was their car and their problem and walked out. Worst car I've ever owned, and worst dealership I've ever dealt with. Avoid mitsubishi at all costs, the company refuses to stand behind their product, and will blame YOU for their incompetence.

I agree with others that our writing on here, this is the 2nd Outlander Sport we have owned. We leased a 2015, and we were going to buy it outright but when we got to the dealer, they gave us such a deal that we bought a 2018. I love the ride, the looks, and the 4WD, which you need in Minnesota... It has gotten me through some wet and heavy snows, and for less than $20,000 how can you go wrong when other cars in this class are going for $25,000-$35,000 I would choose the Outlander Sport again...

This SUV is perfect if you love value. This ride has been amazing since day one. Handles well, looks great, awesome gas mileage and still able to load all my things inside.
