A spunky little grocery getter.
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.

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

Most reliable car owned, 60K, 3 years.
60K miles 3 year update: Still 100% reliability and no repairs, only routine maintenance. Typical fuel economy average has been around 33mpg. Probably the most reliable car I have ever owned in the first three years, compared to a couple of prior Toyotas, Dodges, Chevrolets, and a Honda. There is something about simple execution and high reliability in the Outlander Sport. One thing of note, the excellent short braking distance has prevented accidents more than once. The braking ability is on par with some sport cars with the short controlled distance, I have never owned a car able to stop in a dime in all conditions like this one before. Most people coming from a regular geared automatic do not take the time to learn how to drive a fly by wire CVT system and are often disappointed. 0-60 time consistently in under 9 seconds, 1990s sport car levels. 30+ MPG consistently in mixed driving - yes the FWD helps here a bit with less overall weight. All because I unlearned how a geared automatic works and learned to properly drive the fly by wire CVT. Rather than the accelerator pedal controlling the engine air and fuel flow, which then revs the engine to produce power to the transmission which shifts gears, this CVT accelerator pedal sets the acceleration speed by how far you press the pedal down. Depending on current speed, load, and how far down the pedal is pressed, the engine and transmission computer work in tandem to balance acceleration versus fuel economy. Once past about the first 10 MPG which is where it works to maintain highest MPG, it can launch very fast with the pedal pressed to the floor. Is it a little jiggly with the tight suspension, but it gives a firm feedback control on poor road conditions. Is it a little noisier with more road noise than others, but it gives a clear indication when tires are starting to hydroplane or lose traction on ice and snow - lower risk of an accident. Are the seats comfortable enough, yes when adjusted properly in conjunction with the steering wheel. What I love about it. Big mirrors, ability to get a high and visible seating position, massive cargo space. Basically consider this at the same price point as most compact cars, but in a more useful size. At the time, it was $5K less than a comparable equipped Kia Soul, during the new car shortage only the Mitsubishi dealer was a few hundred below MSRP while all others, including Kia were thousand over MSRP.
