2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 LE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
81 of 82 people found this review helpful
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.

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4 SEL 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
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

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 LE 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
38 of 39 people found this review helpful
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!

Our fifth Mitsubishi in six years. Over 200k miles of perfect, worry free driving. Fantastic quality rivals any other brand. Can't beat the value either. Performance and handling are good. Fit and finish excellent. Yes, there are other brands that feature higher performance, but be ready to pony up another $6-$8k above a Mitsubishi.....I recommend Mitsubishi to anyone who will lend an ear. And the warranty is awesome too. We found the LE to be a special value. Convinced yet? You should be. Best value anywhere. Updated 01/01/20. Still perfect. Still awesome. Highly recommend.

2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
34 of 35 people found this review helpful
I own the rarest of the Outlander Sports- a 2019 5 speed manual transmission. 2019 was the last year for the manual transmission and if I was ever going to get one it was now or never. Hands down the best decision I ever made. The Outlander Sport with a manual transmission is an absolute joy to drive. Plenty of power and loves to rev. I can understand why with the CVT it’s far less satisfying. The 2.0 Mitsubishi 4B11 is a “square” engine. The bore and stroke are identical. This means not much low rpm torque (which CVT’s always try to keep the lowest rpm’s possible). But with the 5 speed it’s a absolute hoot to drive. This engine transmission combination is simply the Lancer’s engine and transmission dropped into the Outlander Sport. Driving it like a sport sedan will bring a smile to your face. Once you hit 3500 rpm MIVEC kicks in and it just jumps from 3500-5000 rpm in a heart beat. Since it s FWD only torque steer is a issue which makes it even more fun because it feels raw and at times a handful. With the traction control off you cannot be reckless with the throttle because it will get out of hand quickly. I’ve owned it about 6 months now and am approaching 10000 miles of trouble free driving. My mileage has been excellent averaging over 30mpg with my best tank of almost 36mpg. Is a manual transmission for everyone? Of course not, it seems these days that in the race to automate everything all the joy has been removed from driving. This my friends restored the fun in driving for me. It is the base model (only version available with the 5 speed). What do you get with that? Comfortable cloth seats with good support. Manual seat height adjustment (driver’s side only) which I prefer to powered seats because less to fail further down the road. Cruise control, backup camera, AC, tilt & telescoping steering wheel. The base stereo is a decent unit with Bluetooth which I use to stream from apps on my phone. Of course being the base model it doesn’t have all the über fancy options but that’s just fine by me. If you like soulless driving get a CVT anything. If you actually enjoy driving and want to row your own gears and need/want a compact SUV then the 5 speed Outlander Sport should be on your very short list. Oh and a final note, what was the cost of admission to fun driving for a brand new 2019 5 speed Outlander Sport? $15,749.00 out the door. That’s not a typo. Update #2: 6/13/22 It's been 3 years and 47k+ miles of problem free ownership. I'm still on the OEM tires but they are due for replacement. Absolutely zero mechanical or any issues at all. MPG's have been stellar over 30 mpg average for the entire life of the vehicle. I still love driving this vehicle and recently took it on a 2000 mile road trip driving straight through 30+ hours without a hiccup. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Update #3: I'm now over 50k miles with no issues. I'm just about ready to replace my OEM Nexen tires that came with it. I could have easily gotten another 10k out of them if I would have rotated them but meh. No mechanical issues whatsoever, it runs brilliantly and delivers excellent mpg's. Hands down continues to be the best vehicle I've ever owned. Update #4: 12/14/23. Just turned over 60k miles with zero mechanical issues so far. It's a joy to drive with the 5 speed manual and I just love driving it. My lifetime mpg's are right at 30 mpg. I absolutely love this SUV and have no plans to ever part with it. Update #5: Another year of flawless ownership with no issues. Almost 70k miles on the odometer now and no issues whatsoever. I changed the transmission fluid in the last year and it looked excellent with no metallic residue. That's the great thing about manual transmissions, just drain and fill. Clutch actuation remains excellent. Best running vehicle I've ever owned.

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 !

Last month we got a 2019 Outlander sport ES. We really like this vehicle. It is very comfortable and the fit and finish are excellent. So far it has been a very reliable vehicle. My opinions are MUCH different than Edmunds. I have no idea why they give this Mitsubishi a bad/so-so rating. Below is what Edmunds says and then what I say. 1, Ride quality is very rough over bumpy roads<<not my outlander, it is smooth comfortable easy to drive and no blind spots thanks to a lot of windows and large side-view mirrors. 2. Many interior materials look and feel cheap to the touch<< what??? we think things are logically placed in this vehicle. the radio, climate control, and seats are all logically placed and the dash has a nice look and feel to it. It rivals many in its class and is, in my opinion, the dash is better laid out than the Rogue, Equinox and even the Encore. And certainly does NOT look or feel "cheap".3. The transmission is aggravating due to slow responses Raucous drone while accelerating, especially with 2.0-liter engine<< not mine, we bought the 5-speed manual because the CVT"S transmissions are known for this common issue and it is not just Mitsubishi that has this issue with the cvt"s. Mitsubishi stands behind what they built for 5/60 -10/100,000, none of the others accept Kia/Hyundai and VW offer such a great warranty. We are very happy with this Outlander and paid THOUSANDS less than a similarly equipped Toyota, Ford, Kia, GM VW and many others in its class. The Outlander Sport, in my opinion, is very underrated. The only small things we wish this vehicle had is lighted door panels so you can see the window switches at night as well as a light down low by the brake and accelerator pedals. We also would have liked to see the Outlander have lockout protection so IF you accidentally lock and close the door not using the keyfob, that the driver's door at least would not lock. And lastly, I would like to have the door locks automatically lock when you accelerate. Other than those small issues, The Outlander Sport is a great well-made vehicle I highly recommend taking a look at the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Edmunds has no option when you select "vehicle details" to select the ES with the 5-speed manual. We do have the ES with the 5-speed manual.NOT the CVT.

If you're looking for the fastest SUV, this isnt it. If you're looking for the most comfortable SUV this isnt it. But if you want the best quality for your money this is absolutely it. Once you get used to driving a cvt equipped car the Outlander sport will be a dream. It handles well, gets great gas mileage (I average 35 with a good mix of highway and city) and has enough passing power to deal with traffic ( wont be setting any land speed records but it has enough). I love my Outlander sport.
Better mpg than rating

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?

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.

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.

The Outlander Sport has high quality parts and assembly finish comparable to Toyota Land Cruiser and 4Runner, or Nissan Patrol Armada. Price is the lowest of all competitors. The platform is based on a DaimlerMitsubishi design and the engine is from a DaimlerMitsubishi-Hyundai alliance. Parts are supplied by well known companies such as Autoliv, Continental-Ate, Bosch, Calsonic Kansei, Sumitomo, Hitachi, Panasonic, with Mitsubishi computers, radio, and lcd screen. This is an affordable way to get all the top automotive industry brands in one package.

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.

Rented for a week long trip from US to Canada in November, experienced some winter drive. AWD worked just fine I didn’t feel any trouble on icy road. My rental was 2.0 and getting up to highway speed was a bit challenge with four adults. Nothing fancy very straight forward rental car feeling it’s like something out of 90s with some newer tech added like USB and apple car play....but seriously do we need anything more? I checked price tag of this car at local car dealer and I would not pay full price but maybe a year old with less than 15k miles will be a good candidate to shop? That’s my take on this CUV.

My 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES FWD is a great car not just because of the price but also for those of us that look for a well balanced SUV. The performance and materials of the suv fits perfectly together for the price... my aunt bought a RAV 4 the same day I got my outlander and she likes the outlander better than her RAV 4. If you take care of your car with no doubt your car will take care of you and that’s ultimately the goal. The outlander is quite with barely any engine noise and transmission is smooth and fun. Independent suspension gives it a Mercedes type of comfort when driving on uneven surfaces. The size of the suv is perfect for city parking and driving. Side mirrors are big and gives you more viewing real estate. Power steering is super smooth and brake assist is awesome. I love my outlander and would purchase it again and also recommending it to family and friends

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.
Why the bad press?

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.

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.

Like they said...don't listen to people who don't drive these cars. I have had my 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport from new and have had absolutely no issues! It drives well, gets excellent gas mileage, love the 4WD when needed living in WI. Car has traveled out west from WI twice. Comfortable. Just the perfect compact SUV. One of the best cars I've owned!

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.

I have had it for around 15 months with 20k miles on it. It drives very smooth and is peppy for a 4 cylinder, a decent price cheaper than other brands and built 99% in Japan. I average around 28 mpg around town and happy I bought it. I expect this vehicle to run easily into the 200k and maybe 300k.

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.

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.

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.

Where to begin? I just returned to Texas from a week-long trip to Seattle, WA, on which, I got a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES as my rental. I willingly chose it over a Sportage or a Santa Fe, because it’s not a car that you see as often. Well, I can understand why no one buys them. Let me elaborate. 1) Overall: My rental car was a base model, and so, I’m judging it fairly. Put this against a 2019 base C-HR, HR-V, Kona, EcoSport, etc, and you’ll soon understand why it’s not a segment leader. It gets you where you need to go, and, yeah. That’s about it. There are a few, I guess, “nice” touches that maybe not every base model in this segment comes with. But, they’re hardly major selling points when you evaluate the vehicle as a whole. 2) Performance: It’s slow. There’s not much else to say. 148hp in the base 2.0 engine doesn’t give you a lot to work with. Pair that with my FWD model in rainy Seattle, and, let’s just say the car doesn’t inspire much confidence on the roads. Off a stop, it’s kinda peppy. However, always make sure you have a firm grip on the steering wheel if you’re going to hit the gas. The tires will spin, and the so will the steering wheel. My rental had almost 60k miles, and I meant to check the tire tread, but never did. So, with new tires that may not be as bad. When merging onto a freeway, or going up a steep hill, don’t be in a rush. Plan your merging ahead of time, and hope that the car gets you to where you hope to join the rest of the traffic. I took it up a very steep and tall hill in the Kenmore/Bothell area multiple times, and let’s just say the car wasn’t enjoying it, nor was I. My foot was on the floor as the car’s underwhelming powertrain screamed at me. The steering is also an oddity. It feels like it’s attached to a very loose rubber band. Keeping the vehicle steady around curves is a bit of a learning experience. 3) Comfort: The cloth seats provided a lot of cushion, and I never found them uncomfortable. The adjustability of the seat and steering wheel allowed me to find a comfy driving position. Getting into the rear seats for elderly people can be a challenge, as the gap between the lower seat cushion and the B-pillar is fairly narrow. Ride comfort is ok. There is a high amount of road and wind noise when at highway speeds. But, for the class and price, you wouldn’t expect luxury noise levels. 4) Reliability: I said 4 stars because it never gave me any troubles but I wouldn’t expect much from a Mitsubishi. From what I’ve heard, their reliability isn’t amazing. 5) Interior: Cheap cheap cheap. That’s all you can say. There is soft touch on the majority of the dash, and the tops of the front doors. And there are some nice knee pads with contrast stitching that help a bit with the visual aspect. No exciting design cues in the cabin. Just functional. If you get a higher trim, the leather may improve the area. 6) Safety: Hard to rate this category as I luckily never crashed it. However, as far as safety features on the vehicle, there’s not much. You have your standard stuff like airbags and antilock brakes. But no pre-collision, lane keep assist, auto lights, etc. And obviously, in the base model, no fancy features like adaptive cruise or lane-centering, things that may not even be available. But, it kept me alive, so thank you Mitsubishi. 7) Technology: If I wrote out everything that it didn’t have, this review would be four pages long. So, here’s what it has, in the base model: automatic single-zone climate control, a 7ish” touchscreen without phone integration, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, buttons on the steering wheel for the infotainment, a 4ish” driver MID between the analog gauges, keyless entry (no push-button start), a backup camera (federally mandated so, obvi), variable intermittent windshield wipers, and a one-touch up-down driver window. That’s pretty much it. Not surprising, you get what you pay for. 8) Value: Meh. It’s cheap and it shows. It’s slow and bland. If you want a nicer car, there are many. If money is super tight and you want a new car, and need a crossover, then it’ll get you where you need to go, probably.

I just purchased my 2019 Outlander Sport LE 2.0 Auto AWC. 12 months now and I’m still waiting for the CVT to learn my driving habits. I see some improvement in the transmission. But now I find the trans has learned my driving habits I have just over 7000 miles now and I like the suv. But the cargo size is to small.

Mitsubishi's 4 cyl motor has no power but fuel consumption is like V6. Interior is combination of cheap plastic (cheap plastic is everywhere: steering wheel, dash, seats etc) and "attention to details" such as shifting knob. I woudn't care if this car had some power. Depreciation... This car will not re-sale well. Most annoying thing is: its remote control - you need to press Open twice to open passenger's door because if you pressed once, it will only open driver's door. During that, car makes annoying horn noise. Welcome to Mitsubishi. Gas mileage is too high city 22, Hwy 25 on empty. I traded-in my dying car and Mitsubishi dealer was happy to take it. Next step is to find a car I really want and trade in my Outlander Sport (there is nothing.... nothing sporty).

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.

After 3 years the alternator went along. With the battery, going on 4 years later, the tires have dry rot, all 4 need to be replaced. And. It. Does not have 50 thousand miles it, aluminum rims suck.
