Don’t listen to the “expert” reviews

I purchased one for less than 20k out the door total with tax and all. A 2018 outlander sport 2.0 limited edition with awd. The interior is really nice. Seats are comfortable. don’t let a review stop you from a test drive. Go see for yourself. The reviewers saying it’s sooo slow the cvt sucks and it’s just errrr cheap. See what other suvs you can find for under 20k that are awd and not a complete base model... I went to Toyota Honda Nissan Kia ford Chevy dodge Jeep I spent months looking test driving just wasting time... I had a 2012 Ford and contrary to all the reviews who said it’s nice etc etc. the car completely fell apart it creaked clunked and rattled from every panel there was. Not to mention those funky curvy designs the rest of the manufactures have followed make its impossible to clean your interior. Especially in a dusty condition. Now I’ll be that guy and say these have better interior than a lot of the competion it’s simple elegant interior. Unlike most reviewers I love that about it! I don’t want some funky space ship looking interior that I cant find what button does what. The climate control on these period is how it should be standard on all of them in my opinion. Simple nobs with an auto setting and a knob for temperature.... heated seats are standard! I mean common sorry this 20k vehicle doesn’t quite look like your Mercedes’s bens inside that costed 3x that price tag... Really....who’s buying these to do 0-60 times or push performance. I got mine because I needed an efficient comfortable quiet ride that was both safe and reliable and plus that 34mpg highway over what it’s rated for in the first place is outstanding. Coming from a ford owner you couldn’t pay me to take another one. My family owns ford gm dodge jeeps and I’ve seen the insides of all of them I’ve rode in all of them. For what this is with this price it’s unrivaled hands down. Sure go get your ford cause you wanted a refined everything and all that new stuff they don’t know how reliable it’s going to be because it was released to sell. Mitsubishi doesn’t do that. They take something that was already reliable for years and build upon it trying to improve it. Not build a new car to match all the 0-60 times of new cars and all that. Again who buys one of these to go fast. If you want fast go get a Range Rover supercharged for 4x the price tag. Simple reliable safe and fuel Efficient is what I wanted and it’s comfy the steering is perfectly fine and the cvt though it’s my first cvt vehicle i love it. Smooth constant pull to 55mph at 2000 rpm argue with that!!! It indeed has shift points somewhat it really just seems to hold one rpm when accelerating as much as it can unless you let off and as your letting off it feels exactly like it’s shifting. I love it. 5 transmissions in my ford and countless times of getting boned by the stealership. No more! Take a test drive before you let the expert reviewers change ur mind cause they get payed by the competion. You may well just drive one home.

25 of 25 people found this review helpful

First off this isn't my car but my In-laws. They were looking for an all weather small SUV that would be easy to get into, easy to drive and comfortable. My Mother-In Law would be the primary driver as my Father-In-Law has unfortunately not able to drive any more. She reached out to me for suggestions on vehicles. Our family and my wife's family have had primarily Honda products for the last 25 years . However, I had an earlier 2001 Mirage that was a long distance commuter car that I proceeded to put 250k mileage on it in a few years (with zero non scheduled maintenance issues). With That said, The Honda vehicles have been good but we have all had issues with poor Honda driver seats. I had an earlier Outlander Sport as a rental vehicle and came away impressed with the standard features and comfort. My In-laws test drove one and bought one the following week. They love it. Pros: Quiet and comfortable ride. I do not know what the "professional" reviewers are talking about. I have taken this vehicle on several long trips with 4 people aboard. The car is quiet and comfortable. One can easily toggle the shifter to (s) to move it out of ECO setting to Sport if needed. Default setting is fine for the majority of driving. Hwy mileage is usually close to 30mpg The Interior is well laid out and screwed down . Driver's seat comfort is excellent with ample adjustments . Rear seats are fine. The infotainment screen is responsive and easy to use. This particular vehicle has a safety suite of backup camera/ lane assist/forward collision alerts. Interior materials are on par with the competition. (again not sure what the professional reviewers are talking about.). Sight lines are stellar. The warranty is fantastic . The engine/transmissions have been in service for many years so any bugs have already been worked out. (see new CR-V 1.5L Turbo issues for context. Not slamming Honda but sometimes tried and true designs are fine for most buyers) AWD system is excellent with a dedicated "AWD" button on the center console to lock the differential of 50/50 split in really bad conditions. Finally, Value reigns supreme here. Mitsubishi is fighting with the big boys in this segment for your dollars. They offer a lot of features and a great warranty for less than the competition. There are many excellent vehicles in this segment and I feel the Outlander Sport holds its own . Cons: While the Outlander Sport drives well (My review is with the 2.4L/CVT/AWD SEL model). I feel that Toyota's 2.5L is the best standard engine in this class. A little more power or an slightly more aggressive retuning of the CVT would help. Rear storage is on the smaller scale compared to the rest of the segment. That's it really. Update: The vehicle currently has only 15000 miles on it as of Aug2021. Fuel economy has been as high as 34 mpg but average is about 30mpg. No rattles/issues to report. This is an excellent car

Mitsubishis are vastly underappreciated. They are usually LOADED with features, and they are animals in the snow. I drove a 2004 Galant until it just gave out, and we bought this Outlander Sport. I adore this car. There are really amazing features, like heated seats, that are available in trims below the GT. The panoramic roof is bada**, and it rides and handles curves amazingly. Plus with rain sensing wipers, the FAST key system, it has everything and more. Bonus, because they're so unappreciated, they're also underpriced. **UPDATE** I have been driving this car for close to 7 months now. I still love this little SUV. My husband and I have hauled a ton of stuff, and the 60/40 seat split is super helpful. All in all, a wonderful car!

I have owned several Mitsubishi over the years including the horrible rated Mirage which was actually a fun little car to drive. I decided I wanted just a tad more power and room. I got the LE with the 18 inch black rims. This vehicle is a fun ride, has plenty of power, and some perks that are not common for the price. Yes I am aware that it's an "outdated" vehicle according to experts but they have constantly refined the Outlander Sports over the years. I remember what they look and felt like when they first came out and they were basic and cheap. The warranty is one of the longest in the market. The reliability has proven itself on its own by being Mitsubishi's best selling vehicle in the US. The best part is Mitsubishi is cheap for maintenance, and for parts. I also like that I can switch to front wheel drive or All wheel drive anytime, this allows me to save even more gas. My two complaints would be that the back seats leg room is a bit tight, and that yes I love my heated seats but I do not have heated side mirrors, come on Mitsubishi! I got a great sound system, the ride is decent, the seats are comfortable, and I am getting decent MPG. I know I can enjoy this vehicle for 10 years and make my money worth. A new redesign Outlander Sports is coming out 2020, and it looks great, but I got an excellent deal off this one since they need to move the 2018/2019 off the lot. I honestly do not think there going to be much change, more refinement in a new look, with hopefully a more powerful engine to please the mass, even thought I think the 148 HP I have is NOT that bad, especially with the sports mode, and the auto sport manual mode. Tons of techs going on, yet all the professional critics claim they don't. Hmm!

I wanted my wife to get the Outlander but , after she drove both the sport and outlander, she liked the look of the sport better. We drove it for a week and were enjoying it but, after a day trip we took, we fell in love with it. You can not go by the professional reviews. Read the one by owners . the wind , road and engine noise was not bad at all. Has good pick up. Great gas mileage. Using hands free phone and text has great sound. I enjoyed it so much, I went back and bought an Outlander for my self. I will say, Mitsubishi could make the seats a little more comfortable ( they are average). I have day running lights but, not auto( LE or SE package). They need to put auto with day running . They need auto dim on rear view mirror on the LE/ SE models. The price is 2000-3000 less then any other brand. Mitsubishi builds a great car for a great price.

Bought 2018 sport brand new with 8 miles about a month back and put in about 1000 miles on it. Primary use is for Daily drive (70 miles/day) for me and my wife to go back and forth to work. Don't understand, what the paid reviewers are scaring off the public with there reviews. First learn and understand how the performance varies with CVT transmission and automatic. This car has classic Mitsubishi suspension. Gives me about 29 miles per gallon combined. Has 2.4 ltr engine with CVT transmission. What else do you expect from a 2.4 ltrs 4 cylinder and a CVT transmission, takes a couple more seconds to get to the speed, but once you get to the speed, it goes! Would definitely recommend this for daily drivers! FYI, I grew up driving Lancer's, EVO's and Pajero's lol !

I bought a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport brand new for 16,990.00 . I researched the hell out of it but never test drive one. Edmunds gave it poor reviews but I noticed owners have it great reviews. I test drive toyota rav4 and the new chr and then the outlander sport. I felt the outlander was way better than the toyota and the price was even better. It accelerates just fine for the small engine and the transmission seems great too. Ya it's not a Mercedes or BMW but that was not the prissy kind of vehicle I wanted. I wanted a vehicle to drive. I am not a snow flake and know how to use mirrors to back up. I have a smart phone for navigation and those items were judt an added expense on other vehicles. Bottom line us I am honestly impressed with the handling acceleration and the look . I could afford a BMW or Mercedes but am comfortable in who I am that I don't need a sub like that, the outlander is perfect for me and how I use it. 02/25/18. Still glad I bought this ride. The drive feature let's me choose front wheel drive, all wheel, or 4 wheel drive perfect for MN Winters. I was surprised on the stock tires it came with but do think an upgrade will be better. Put another 4 k miles on. Really line this vehicle. 02-25-19 Update review on my Outlander port, so I have basically had my Outlander for a year and half, I still only have 11,000 on it (have a work vehicle so I don't drive much). I still like it and am glad I purchased it. Planning on a long road trip from MN to Colorado Springs soon and have no concerns, couple of back backs, camping gear and a dog will be no problem. I have hauled some loads in the back over 400 lbs- no problems

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES had gotten some poor reviews from professionals. Had I read those poor reviews beforehand I wouldn't have bought this vehicle, but so far I'm glad I did. I've had it 2 weeks, but I'm impressed with it. Steering is much better and tighter than reviewers claimed. Quick turn radius. Front seats could use some more support for us with longer legs. The very tall headrests are unnecessary and blocks view looking back but i guess are more for neck protection in an accident. It is a small engine, but since i don't haul any cargo or any other people around often it is fine for me. My daily commute is either 40 mph speed limit or 55 mph on the expressway, so who needs more power than that? not me. The ride at those speeds is good and smooth. Braking is quite good and responsive, as I've found out already. The CVT does take a little bit of time to get used to, as it's much different than my old Oldsmobile transmission, but nothing here to complain about. I LOVE the standard 18" tires on good looking alloy wheels. No cheap plastic rim covers. The stereo interface is a rather plain and lame looking (but perfectly functional), but the USB port and bluetooth works great for my MP3 player. Standard armrest is cool (wish it was a bit larger). Comes with 4 floor mats, which some SUVs charge extra for. The big plus for me is the super warranty. 10 years on powertrain, 5 years roadside assistance, and 7 YEARS FOR RUST!!! Rust warranty is important for me since I live in Chicago and don't have any indoor parking. My previous car completely rusted out at the bottom. So don't let the negative reviews bother you. They should review a vehicle for what it is, not for what it isn't. So far I think I made a good decision to buy this vehicle. But as always, time will tell. I paid $18,563 after taxes, title, fees and rebates applied.

Base with a manual transmission is the way to go!

Just bought a brand new 2017 Outlander Sport and I must say that it is truly extraordinary when you consider the price of it. Although it is a relatively small car, it being a compact crossover, it feels incredibly solid and planted while driving. The steering feels great, I honestly thought it was a hydraulic because it's so communicative but no, it's just a really well done electric one. And the steering wheel itself ups the entire value of the car, it feels much nicer than others at this price. Seriously, I get more feeling from this Outlander Sport than new Mercedes and BMWs. Also the manual transmission is the way to go. If you don't know how to drive a manual then learn. It's worth it. The clutch throw is short and it engages near the bottom, where you would expect it to. The shifter is a little long but considering it's an SUV it shouldn't be short and notchy like a sports car. Pretty much the manual ups the useable power of this car because it's always right were you want it instead of having to wait for the CVT. I got everything bone stock and am very happy at all of the options is has. One of the things this car gets dinged for by 'expert reviewers' is that it doesn't hold up to all of the little tech features like push button start. Sorry but I just don't really care about things like that. It has a key fab so... yea, I'm good. All in all, do some research in a 200 mile radius from where you live and find a great deal. Drove 5 hours away to a different state but got 5k off sticker price. Very worth it.

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 purchased a new 2018 Outlander Sport 2.4 SEL(GT) 4WD loaded with collision avoidance, lane departure warning, moonroof, Rockford/Fosgate 9 speaker stereo with 10" subwoofer, leather, heated seats, power heated and power folding mirrors, power sunshade for moonroof with 3 levels of LED accent lighting , auto high beams, rain sensing wipers in April 2019. On two recent trips I averaged over 30mpg, and in fact setting my cruise at the posted mph I was actually able to bump it up to 33.7 for the first 1 1/2 hours of the 4 hour drive. The second trip a 12 hour round trip from Saratoga, NY to Rangeley Lake Maine through the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine,....averaged 30.7mpg!! Great vehicle!! Ditto on my wife's 2017 Outlander GT loaded!! I will most probably always be a Mitsubishi owner! I traded my 2018 Outlander Sport for a 2022 Eclipse Cross and again MPG is better than rated as high as 31.9 and it is only rated 25/26?

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.

Why I bought a 2018 Outlander Sport LE

VALUE! Hands down ! Don't listen to the professional reviewers go drive one yourself! Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy were 3 to 5 thousand dollars more and gets worst when you add the cost of a 2 more years of bumper to bumper and a 10 year powertrain warranty on the competition . How much more would that add to there cost. Here is my honest review good and bad about the Outlander Sport. Is it the most powerful, No, The 2.0 engine is fine for 90% of drivers, it's smooth and the CVT transmission is tuned perfect to make great use of its power and still return great MPG. In mixed driving I get between 28 and 30. For me it has a good combination of comfort and handling. It's very stable a highway speeds. Good road feel and brakes seem better than others. Wind noise also seemed better than other ones I drove at highway speeds. Front seat comfort was the best, they have a nice wide contour seat with plenty of leg room. Toyota and Honda and Chevy was the worst, hard, low, and very narrow. Reviewers complain about the interior for hard plastics and being very plain. Looking at the competition they have fancier hard plastics in there's. Outlanders interior might look dated and simple to some people but having simple easy controls is not a negative to me. I don't have to keep getting the owner's manual out to operate anything. Cargo room in back falls in the middle of the competition. Back seats fold very easy compared to some. Inside spare tire was a plus, some had no spare. Android Auto was a huge plus for me for smartphone integration, Some didn't offer it which means you have to buy a expensive nav system. Standard Stero was by far the best of any . Standard 18 inch wheel again without having to buy another trim level to get on others. Fit and finish was as good as any others in this class. Now some negatives in my opinion. Road noise is not as good as some, a lot depended on the road surface how much there was. Back seat room is ok, some had more, others less. Wish the back seat had a recline adjustment. Sport mode for the CVT is too aggresive. Lumbar adjustments for the front seat might be useful for some. Very little sound from the backup sensors although backup camera is good. Doors when you close them sound tinny. Radio loads apps slow when you start up the car, like android auto, bluetooth. 2019 mits have new radio's that fixed that issue. Some complain there is no power liftgate option, not sure if that's a big deal for most. Don't sell this Outlander Sport short, Its a great value for the money compared to the competition, does better than most in reliability, and fuel economy and crash test.

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.

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've owned my Outlander Sport for a little over a month. Its OK. Acceleration is ehh, the sound system isn't the best, when my window is down it rattles and when I have the Apple Car Play hooked up it sometimes doesn't work properly. I love he HID headlights very good visibility at night and the gas mileage isn't bad for an SUV. Compared to its contenders its a great value, but does have some "quarky" negative things about it. The CVT transmission is just OK I feel when I accelerate it lags a bit. It drives very "trucky", can definitely feel it when you hit a bump.

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...

The interior is awesome I for one don’t like the funky look curvy interior these new cars are getting I got mine for 19k out the door 100k Mitsubishi diamond warranty check that out bumper to bumper for 100k miles. Unbeatable imo. It has ton of space I’m 6”3 and ride very comfortable the awd system is outstanding right up there if not better than Subaru. I’ve had mine for 2000 miles everything from the simple yet classy interior the torquey 2.0 and cvt which I never have had before and used to hate cvts. When you can accelerate from a stop at 2000 rpm all the way to 55 in a smooth constant pull something about it is just nice makes me want to cruise. Gas mileage I’m JUST making the 26mpg Highway. No issue with acceleration onto a busy high way very quiet ride and again it’s very comfortable. For the price warranty and some of the best safety and reliability ratings out there hands down I’m very happy I got out of my ford and into this. I love hearing the reviewers oh look at this cheap plastic yet the same reviewer on my ford said the ford was very nice coming from an owner it rattled like crap door panels popped off when shutting my door. What a joke! They get payed to give a good review and hardly give one otherwise. The owners of these love em and you can’t argue with that. thank you Mitsubishi for getting me out of my unreliable 5 transmission having turd under 150k miles!!! Having peace of mind that you in something reliable is something many don’t know till they end up dumping thousands into a car and regret it.... like I did. And did again sadly getting the mitsubishi. *update* traded it in for something more worth it. My rotors were warped the first 10k miles really badly. Dealer refused to replace them and insisted normal wear and tear. Idk about you guys but turning a set of rotors every 10k miles seem extremely excessive. From 20k miles the cvt started acting funny sometimes and it was actually slipping which you can't really tell with a cvt other than the feeling of it being down on power. Dealer denied anything wrong. Brought it back at 30k (I serviced the cvt at 25k at the Dealer I bought it new from) after it started acting funny. Denyed and denied till the slipping was very much completely slap you in the face obvious you couldn't not notice. Replaced cvt under warranty. 2 weeks in a rental. Drove it 20k more miles started doing it all over again traded it in at 66k. And that just told me it's gonna fail out of warranty again. Some other things that I wasn't happy with. The plastic chrome trim rings around the cluster started peeling. The chrome or whatever metal on the Mitsubishi logo on the steering wheel started peeling. And after a while the interior as a whole. I.e the dashboard etc started to really loosen up you could hear rattles and interior started to sound almost tinnie. Thankfully I didn't end up owing on my trade in for a nissan titan. I'll also note my mpg in the Mitsubishi at best was about 24-25mpg mixed driving with light city traffic. Highway 70+ it dropped to around 20. Sorry but my full size titan does that with twice the cylinders and displacement with more than double the power. Never again. Mitsubishi needs to listen and go back to traditional transmissions before the reliability reputation really starts to bite your behinds cause this was my first and last Mitsubishi purchase. Ruined my experience yet they had a great reputation for reliability. Till the mighty cvt came out. I'm not sure exactly what the deal with my gas mileage was but only ever did I get 28mpg fully empty with nothing in it cruising at 55 to 60 with ac off otherwise a mostly constant 20-22 and on hot days of 100+f with the ac cranking I got about 18 with kind of a heavy foot nothing extreme. Just some moderate under 4k rpm acceleration keeping up with traffic. My advice is get the v6 with a real transmission or a manual or save your money till you can afford something better or opt for something not cvt.

My 2017 Outlander Sport is the first "import" I've ever owned. Probably owned or driven [because of my work] over a hundred different vehicles and this is hands down my favorite. I bought an end-of-the-year base model with the 2.0 and manual 5 speed for $15,000. out the door price. The standard equipment on this car is impressive. Power windows, cruise, stereo with cd player, hands free Bluetooth for phone and that standard Mitsubishi warranty that's second to none. The first new vehicle I ever bought had AM radio as an option to be negotiated…..otherwise, just a blank plug in the dashboard! These cars were assembled in Illinois until late 2015, but moved their operations back to Japan after the U.S plant closed. I had done my research on Mitsubishi before that and thought I was buying an American built car- but, once I took it for a test drive, I knew I was going to buy it regardless. Stable ride, plenty of power with the 5 speed, quiet, nice climate control, great heater, availability of parts should be fine with Nissan being an international partner. They've been making automobiles since 1917 so..... not new to the game. Love driving this car!

This is actually my wife's car and we've owned it now for 8 months. We considered tons of other vehicles, from the crosstrek, to a rav4, and escape in the same range. What sold us was the price. With my corporate discount we got a brand new 4x4 out the door for $17k, no other 4x4/awd setup came close to that price. I couldn't justify an extra $6k for a competitor's option. Being in the Lake Erie snow belt we needed ground clearance and 4x4 to get through the 17ft of yearly snow. With a set of smaller 16" winter rims/nokian tires it's gone through anything including a 2ft snow drift in the driveway. Mileage wise is not bad at 24 city/29 hwy, my older forester barely cracks 20mpg city. One negative is a car seat in the back is pretty cramped, we have to move our seats up pretty far to travel with our 4yr old niece.

I purchased this vehicle for my wife to get a safer vehicle than her smaller sedan. We were completely happy with it until we were hit from behind on the highway. Our driver and passenger seatback broke and were instantly thrown into the fully reclined position throwing myself and my wife into the backseat of the vehicle. We were lucky that our 2 month old son was placed in the middle of the backseat so we only struck the sides of his carseat as we were thrown backwards. If there was anyone sitting directly behind us, the injuries could have been catastrophic.

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..

I've been driving the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SEL for over a week now and overall am very happy with it. I traded in a Mitsubishi Lancer for an SUV and I think the value for the money on both cars is fantastic. You get some frills and thrills without the price tag. The reason for 4 stars is because the vehicle is very loud on the highway. Doesn't bother me too much but i can see how that would bother others. Also I would love a power lift gate instead of having to always open/close the abck from outside the vehicle.

I purchase 2018 Mitsubishi GT Premium Octane Blue. I never regret. I used to own 2014 SE model. It was a 2L and a bit lagging in power. The 2018 GT is 2.4L is great perfect for the size. I had read so many negative reviews about Mitsubishi RVR, and sometime wonder myself why. I love the manual control for AWD with differential lock. It is a great compact SUV for a small family. The ground clearance is great too. The only things I want Mitsubishi to improve is road noise.

I purchased a new 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport after test-driving Jeep's 2018 Cherokee, Compass and Renegade models, and most competitors' smaller SUV models including Toyota's, Nissan's and Ford's Eco-Sport. Previous 4x4 vehicles I had owned through the years included Ford Explorer Sport, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Compass and Jeep Wrangler. Due to lack of advertising and poor reviews I read online, I never would have considered a Mitsubishi Outlander if a nearby Jeep dealership had not acquired a Mitsubishi dealership and delivered some inventory to the location where I was about to purchase an overpriced 2018 Jeep Compass I was not particularly happy with after test-driving. One road test in the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport proved its optimal value for me and I hesitated no further: it demonstrated a much quieter and smoother ride than any vehicle among its competitors! Its far-superior manufacturer's warranty when compared with competitors' offerings for "extended warranties," further eroded the latter's price-competitive positions; and it fairly gleamed with sleeker exterior body styling compared with its off-road rugged-appearing competitors that demonstrated no superiority in off-road capabilities without extensive, high-dollar options packages. In central New York state, I was not shopping for a sports-car nor an off-road utility vehicle--I was shopping for a reliable, responsive and safe drive in all weather and traffic conditions. Standard features--back-up camera, body-painted dual rear view mirrors, remote start--further advanced its price-competitive position among alternatives; and its fuel economy with 2.4l inline 4 cylinder engine and 4x4 with lock automatic transmission were at least average among the vehicles I test-drove. I have been very happy with it. It has performed extremely well in snow and icy road conditions and driver visibility has been excellent. My only regret is the Sport's "incapability" of towing even a lightest weight teardrop micro camper; so I am considering a trade for a larger Mitsubishi Outlander with towing capabilities. I anticipate remaining a satisfied Mitsubishi customer through the foreseeable future.

Does what a vehicle should do

We have had this Outlander Sport for over 85,000 miles now. I can't believe how underrated and underappreciated this car is. The warranty backs up what I already know, the engine and powertrain are built to last. The infotainment is easy to use. The climate control is simple and isn't hidden in 17 different menus, there are knobs! There is even a knob for the radio volume control! Oh and there's heated seats! The only "problem" had was the battery died in the car last year, and one of the key fob's battery died 2 years ago. Friends and family that ride in it have told me they are fans of it, without me even asking for their opinions. I have the 2.4 liter engine and have had the car full of people and cargo but still am able to zip around traffic. I live in a major city so the size of this car makes parking convenient and easier than say a bigger truck or SUV. It is a smaller vehicle but it's not one of those tiny ones you don't feel safe in. It looks great inside and out. My mother has an Equinox and when she's in the Outlander Sport she says she would rather have the Mitsubishi! This is our 2nd Mitsubishi. Our first one was a 2009 Outlander bought brand new. The only problem that one had was it in an accident and declared a total loss at 160,000 miles. But guess what, no one in the car was hurt. That car made me respect Mitsubishi and I hope they stick around and keep making quality cars that simply just WORK.

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.

ergonomics... what does it feel like when you are actually behind the wheel. everything is exactly where it should be... thanks to that Japanese engineering. the arm rests, the cupholders, the volume knob. the storage space under the armrest with the 12v output that stays powered after the car is turned off... so you can keep those earpods and vape batteries... or whatever else charging while you are sleeping... there is something about the minor details that make this thing the best. I've taken it on 1000 mile road trips and it feels just as at home on the road as it does in town.

My family will never by anything else in the further than a Mitsubishi. We were hit from behind at a red light and was able to drive her home. The SUV that hit us was totaled and both driver and passenger went to the er. We were completely unharmed in our Outlander sport. Completely impressive. Cant wait to buy another one for the hubby.

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.

2018 Outlander Sport . sticker price was 23,800 ( I paid 23,000 out the door ) I wish I never bought this car. Went to trade it in the next week was offered 13,000 . car rides rough, gets bad gas in city 18 mpg when it said 23. there is not storage in this car . paint peeling already in back on bumper part . Had it 6 months now 1,800 miles on it. Bumped side door and now i have a dent. Cheap made. Blue tooth is worthless can't talk and say call home. You need a cell phone to use the navagation. Found out later there was a 5,000 rebate on this . I won't be keeping this car past this year .

Don't believe the professional reviewers. I have the SEL 2.4 liter engine and this car drives great! I would recommend this car to anyone. The only complaint I have is that the Driver's seat is not as comfortable as I would like, but I will get a pad for my lower back.

I bought a 2017 outlander sport Le. I have put 41,000 MIles in 2 years I've driven it through snow rain and beautiful summer days not one problem NOT ONE!!! I WAS very reluctant to buy it when I read the reviews and they were saying some very bad things about the outlander and The outlander sport. Once I have drove this I don't understand the reviews no it's not a lexis or a BMW or a Mercedes but I have been places and past people that couldn't go in the snow that I went in and kept cruising love this car. I feel safe and confident I'll drive in this car yes I was skeptical due to the poor reviews I don't understand them I don't think they've owned one or driven them.

We bought this car brandnew back in 2017 and its 2022 and love the four wheel drive. The car has been good to us and now 2022 . We put 111,000 on it sofare with very little problems .The bigest problem or complains we have are the brakes . The car seems to eat pads and rotors . We went through three rear calibors over the years . The calibors were around $300 each and you had to buy them from the dealer . They had a recall on rear brakes , with cars with the eletric parking brakes.Yes a course our car was not effect by the brake recall. How ever the dealer did sell me the same caliber the were used on the recalls . The were cheaper or I would had to pay $400 each for the new one. I did the brakes myself and was not too hard to do. We went though two sets of tires , but then again I can'not complain with 111,000 on it now. I have a miner problem currently A bad rear drivers side wheel Speed sensor I have the scanner to scan the car and I should be able to get evrything rest ,when I replace the sensor next week

Not enough cargo space. It's a great little car for a family 4, 2 adults and 2 kids, any more and then it's too small. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids (ages 6, 11, and 12), we out that it's too small for any extended trips. We traded it in for a Toyota mini-van.

After 15000 miles: engine is weak, cheap paint, weak brakes, very basic and cheap looking interior and no options in ES model. It was like traveling in Time to drive 80-th cars. The most annoying thing was a keyless/remote. Why do I need to press twice to open all doors?! Why there is no signal to tell me that I just locked the doors? Why do I need to press twice "lock" to make sure that the car is locked?! Stereo was a joke. HUGE mirrors what you can't make look away because it is not going to move all the way! No under engine cover like in every other car. Engine gets dusty. Engine is only 4 cyl and it should do better than 25 mpg! I had my own reasons to buy this car and it would be a good car for 200K miles but this car depreciates super fast and it has no class. I've noticed that majority of drivers are sr. citizens and I made a decision to sell it. Dear God, thank you... I sold my 2017 Mitsubishi and for many other things too, thank you!

I love this car. It is dependable and maintenance is very low needed. Additionally my outlander sport gives me 30mpg when i drive it on the highway. Which is amazing.

This vehicle is not of high quality anywhere. I needed a spare second vehicle with ground clearance and AWD. This is a rough ride and cheap fit and finish vehicle. It serves it's purpose but like I said in my title. You get what you pay for and nothing more. So if you want an SUV in the low $20's and aren't picky and don't care about quality, comfort or resale go for it. I'd buy a used low mileage car before buying one again.

I bought my Mitzi as a lease return, with 736 miles on the odometer and so she had a couple bumps and scrapes, but that just made me less anal about where I parked. I have been 100% happy with this car! I enjoy driving it, I enjoy looking at it, and it's just a great vehicle. Definitely was worth it, and it was the first "new" car I'd purchased since 1993! ♥
