Awesome quality and value. Still going strong.
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.

Awesome Affordable SUV
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.

Edmunds Opinion what?? we do not agree
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.

Best bang for your buck
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.
Love my Mitsubishi
Absolutely great rebate on this vehicle. Made it afordable to own a suv! Very stylish and easy to operate electronics. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great reliable and fantastic warranty. Get this vehicle you can not go wrong !!!

Highest Quality, Lowest Price
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.

Decent SUV
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.

Best purchase hands down
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

Nice economy small SUV
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.

Experts wrong.
Handles well. Good mileage. Interior far nicer than Hyundai,Honda,Toyota. Price far less than a escspe,rav 4 or Honda crv.
Pro reviewers ... All about zoom zoom, zoom
A ton of car for the money ... closest thing to the Suzuki I traded in. Everything works perfectly and the mpg is very good. Test drive one yourself ... you won"t be disappointed
Tough little car
Great warranty, good gas mile’s, fun to drive. Solid on the road however a bit more road noise then I would like.

Don’t trust anyone who says this car is nice
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.

New purchase
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.

Keep looking
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).
