After an exhaustive search, I selected a 2020 Outlander Sport Black Edition 2.0 as the best vehicle to meet my needs. My search was guided by these non-negotiables: A spare tire A premium stereo with a subwoofer Minimal or no center console Comfortable driver seat No sharp edges on driver’s door or center console One might think these features are easy to find but they are most definitely not! I am replacing a 2015 Honda FIt EX which I discovered has the most god-awful uncomfortable driver seat on the planet. The seat is numbingly cruel on long drives. Additionally, the hard plastic edges on the console and driver’s interior door panel conspire to create discomfort. It’s basically an iron maiden on wheels. Swearing off Hondas, my research for all my non-negotiables was frustrated. The Toyota RAV4 came closest, but the premium JBL stereo was repeatedly slagged by users as cheap and underpowered. I was inspired to check out Mitsubishi because my spouse’s 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse is reliable and has an impressive Rockford Fosgate stereo. I discovered the full size Outlander had a very modest center console and enough space for my legs. Unfortunately, the newer models forgo a spare tire; a deal breaker. Moving down to the Outlander Sport, I found everything on my list in the Black Edition 2.0. I decided to purchase a 2020 since it appears the 2021 model year will no longer offer the Rockford Fosgate stereo in any trim level. Count me among the other consumer reviewers who are baffled at the hate grenades lobbed into Mitsubishi’s foxhole. The Edmunds reviewer throws about bludgeoning descriptors such as underpowered, unrefined, aggravating, rough, cheap, jumpy, skittish, harsh, floaty, noisy, lacking, and subpar. The reviewer intimates that if you somehow still decide to purchase the Outlander Sport after this over-the-top beatdown you cannot possibly have fun driving it unless you have an overactive imagination and your discernment for driving is overruled by your pricing requirements. The reviewer’s assessment is loaded with unwarranted hyperbole. Speaking as one who finds many cars over-engineered, I find the Outlander Sport to be refreshingly intuitive and reliable. I do concur with the Edumunds reviewer on the following: The Outlander Sport offers the basics as a compact SUV: Well-equipped for the price Excellent warranty coverage Appealing ergonomics Easy to operate, with clearly marked controls and an easy-to-read instrument panel Large door openings to the front seats Easy to learn connectivity that is simple to set up Acceptable cargo utility, the load floor is flat and expansive, and the tall roofline makes loading easy Dated but sturdy No-nonsense Dependable If you discern these latter descriptors sound like what you would imagine a great SUV to be, do yourself a favor and check out the Outlander Sport. You can use the money you’ll save purchasing the Outlander Sport doing something fun other than driving. 1st year update: 21,000 miles. Best miles per gallon: 29. All good with the glaring exception of the failure of the multi-functional display. I lost about 50% of the pixels at 18,000 miles. Dealership removed and replaced it and I've had no other issues. 2nd year update: 36,000 miles. I've noticed the multi-functional display can be hard to read during the day. The catalytic converter was sawed off while parked overnight at a Holiday Inn Express in Chicago. $4,000 dollars to fix and much time wasted. I found out a Mitsubishi dealer can weld a shield over the converter to prevent theft. I recommend you have one installed before you drive off the lot. I still recommend the car

We purchased our 2020 Pearl White Outlander Sport through a certain famous online auto retailer for my wife. The car has a little over 43,000 miles on it. The CVT is programmed in the classic pure CVT fashion vs the modern “stepping” logic that’s used to make them feel like traditional automatics. So it does have that constant engine rev while accelerating. We don’t mind, as acceleration is improved in this class, when not faking a shift. Speaking of acceleration, the 2.0 liter engine isn’t quick, but it’s not hateful with a 0-60 time of about 8.5-9 seconds, which is average for the class, and further aided by the fact the vehicle is super light at just under 3200lbs. The CVT engages and transitions ratios very smoothly, and has resulted in mid-to-upper 20’s MPG fuel economy. The addition of selectable all wheel control (2WD, Auto 4WD, locked 4WD) will be a huge benefit for her during the winter months as well. The SE trim means it has all sorts of safety technologies available to help prevent a collision, power folding heated mirrors with side markers, and finally; having a large, vibrant 8” screen with Apple CarPlay is a plus. Automatic climate control seems accurate, and the red dash board contrasts nicely agains the white instrument cluster and color touch screen. The seats are all-day comfortable, and despite the lack of adjustable lumbar, they do provide solid lumbar support. Don’t be discouraged by the professional reviewers. They focus their reviews to line up with the average ongoing American perspective that there’s always room for better. That said, if you want solid value, an excellent reliability history, comprehensive safety technologies, and can live with the “only average handling for the class”, and some low-cost interior materials (it’s soft touch where it needs to be, and the harder plastics will likely help prolong the lifespan of the interior anyway), then like us; you may find the 2020+ Outlander Sport / RVR (Canada) is an ideal choice for your needs.

I am an owner of outlander. Comfortable drive in highway with peppy acceleration where there is power at all times at various rpm. Great when merging on to lanes, over talking. I have taken this for high way driving at 70 MPH and it is comfortable for me. Much more comfortable than many cars which I have driven. Because of its correct suv size , and myself being a tall guy, I get the right good interior cabin space. It has got good manoeuvrability and good turning radius. The Mitsubishi engine MIVEC engine does its thing to get the performance. I have also taken a trip with a top expensive European SUV and the outlander is more comfortable on the highway. Not sure if the tyres contributed to the better comfort or not. It was definitely not like what is said in the reviews or in youtube about the outlander. Does not have apple car play or android but has the car features I need like calling , importing the phone book on the screen and other features.

Test drove the base model. Nice LED lights, power interior, back up camera, scotch guard fabric, alloy wheels with locks. Great leg room in rear, 60/40 split seats do not recline though.
