This is a great little SUV that's very stylish and the ride is as smooth as any other SUV I've driven! I have the 2021 Outlander SE and everyone who has seen this brilliant red beauty loves the looks of it! I'm not sure why the so-called experts don't approve, but if you ask those who own one what they think the overwhelming majority will tell you that they are very pleased with the Outlander!

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

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.

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.
Awesome Affordable SUV

2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
28 of 29 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.

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.

WHAT THE FRI&&&%>K IS WRONG WITH EDMUNDS?

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

This is my 2nd Outlander sport. The first one was trouble free. for thousands of miles and many YEARS. The 2022 we got last week we like ALOT, but it is too soon to tell how reliable it will be. I will come back in about a year to update. Why does Edmunds bash this vehicle ""every year"" why?? We like our Outlander Sport, it was thousands less than the Toyota, VW & Honda AND with a longer warranty too. Our Outlander sport has good looks, roomy interior EXCELLENT BRAKES & a good crash rating. The "stuff" Edmunds complains about is mostly subjective things like the rough ride, the "cheap interior" & slow acceleration this is all """subjective"" we get up to 70 mph easily & we find the ride comfortable & smooth. As for the interior. The Outlander Sport is no Cadillac BUT the dash is well laid out, All the controls are easy to reach, we think it looks great, Sure Mitsubishi has not changed the dash for a few years BUT on the plus side you can get parts easier because it's been around a while. All in all, for a SUV in the 30,000-dollar category, the Outlander Sport holds its own very well with its competitors. Again, all the things even I mentioned are subjective. Edmunds should at the very least tell potential customers that much of their review is subjective and your opinions may vary. What's wrong with you Edmunds? Why hate on Mitsubishi's Outlander Sport? Edmunds the interior comfort, engine drone, lack of acceleration & stiff ride are all subjective. I know a few Outlander Sport owners like me that feel the Outlander Sport has a comfortable ride. CVT also gets up to 70-80 mph with decent acceleration & has a decent look and feel interior with excellent heating and air conditioning. We are very happy with Mitsubishi & at least in my review unlike Edmunds, I can say our review is mostly subjective. This is our opinion of the vehicle.

I have just driven across Florida and I got 32.1 mpg which exceeded expectations. If you drive it easily without hard acceleration, this mileage is achievable. If you do mostly stop and go, you’ll get 22 mpg. As for styling inside the cabin, it’s basic and gets the job done. My biggest concern is that when it’s shifted to reverse, the rear screen is impossible to view in any bright Sun, but good when it’s nighttime. I feel that this defeats the purpose of the camera and is actually a safety issue. The other beef I have is that the fuel mpg resets to zero every time it isn’t used and there’s no way to monitor your mpgs between fill-ups. I have to keep a log of mileage and fuel used to calculate mpgs. There’s a lot of road noise heard on rough roads. Overall I am happy with my purchase but wouldn’t buy one again as there’s many cars that have better features for approximately the same 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.

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.

7 of 8 people found this review helpful
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.

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 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.

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 - that is use to be achieved with "sports" car levels only some 20 years ago. 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 tranmission which shifts gears, this CVT accelerator pedal is such that how fast you want to accelerate is determined 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, yes, but it gives a firm feedback control on poor road conditions. Is it a little noisier with more road noise than others, yes, 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 carefully. 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.

I bought the 2021 outlander sport and frankly it wasn’t the car I wanted but it was the only one I was approved for. My favorite is the eclipse cross. This suv is a nice one but not a extraordinary one. I think the engine is noisy, the rides are somewhat smooth, but not much. I mean, it’s better than nothing but what upset me was that the base model, which was the only one available in my dealer, is lacking a few important features that the new 2022 has like lane departure warning, automatic windshield wipers, android auto and apple car, all wheel drive and others. It’s too plain for the price of $26,000. I hope to change it in the future for a better model.

This car is a 2022. It has 4400 miles on it. I purchased it in June or July of this year. The fob battery has had to be changed 3 times. And even 1 week after changing one of the batteries out it happened again. The car will not acknowledge the ignition while I am driving or while I am trying to start the vehicle. It regularly leaves me scared and stranded outside of my place of employment most week days after work because it will not let me in my car nor will it let me start my car. I start to drive, keys hanging from the turn signal, and it screams that it cannot find the fob. The cruise control does not work. I cannot talk to call via the steering wheel. It does not work. The face plate on the radio/google maps turns black, turns the volume all the way up and turns the radio on... For 20 to 45 minutes. The volume will not turn down. The radio cannot be turned off. The CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! The heated seats stop working after a couple of minutes because I live in the south and it malfunctions when it gets too hot???????? Really??? (The south is hot. Who's idea was this?) I use the heated seats to get to and from work after a major vehicle accident that left me with a severely injured back. The heat helps to drive to work. Can't use that anymore. When I accelerate, some times the transmission will not up shift until I take my foot off the gas and press back again. All of this and the service guys said they didn't know what is wrong and I need to take it back to the salesman because they know more about these things......... READ THAT AGAIN! When I went to the salesman he said he could make it right by putting me in something comparable. His idea of comparable is 2019 with 40,000 miles at the same price, if I am lucky. You can't make this up. If someone at Mitsubishi makes this right, I just might stop screaming the horror at the top of my lungs but this company is bleeding unhappy customers driving in death traps. And they just don't care. I bought it. It's mine. No one at this place cares except the ppl at corporate who are so distanced from their "franchise owners" and employees that they don't really have any idea of how bad this is or how difficult it is to navigate their highly unmotivated staff. Sorry. I miss spoke. They are highly motivated to make a sale or pawn you off when they have gotten your money and a problem arises, just not motivated enough to rise to the customer service level it takes to solve a good paying customer's problems. No. Don't buy this car. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is an afterthought. Nothing on this vehicle works as it should. Not even the warranty. The servicemen even admitted they didn't know what was wrong. If your Dr. told you they couldn't figure out why you were peeing blood, would you go back? Would you pay him? Food for thought. Bad form Mitsubishi!!!!! Bad form!

I rented this vehicle for a 10-day tour of the Southwest, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. It came equipped with the 2.0L 148HP engine. This thing was very sluggish. It is always in ECO mode. The only way to turn off ECO mode is to step on the gas pedal, but the acceleration is still really bad. You need plenty of passing lane to safely pass another car. Android Auto is not very reliable. I found that after a couple hours of driving the Android Auto connection to my phone would be lost. The only way to re-connect seems to be to stop and re-start the car. My phone never drops the Android Auto in my 2019 Honda Accord, so it had to be Mitsubishi's software/hardware that was at fault. The screen display, which is normally east to see, becomes quite dim when in back-up mode. It is very difficult to use this screen to see what is behind you. It is way to dim. Oddly enough, it has cross-traffic monitoring with audible alarm, but there was no audible alarm to warn you when there was an obstacle behind you when backing up. The sun-visors would be much more helpful if they were extendable. I did love the blind-spot warning system, it did work well. Suspension is soft with some body roll. Not confidence inspiring. Would never buy one, would never even rent one, again.

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.

I had something in mind when I began my search. But the Outlander checked all the boxes for me. 4wd was mandatory for living in Colorado. I wanted lots of room, but something good on gas mileage. My Highlander has everything i wanted and more. I couldn't be happier ☺️.
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.

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.

Full disclosure, my review of the Outlander Sport is based on a recent two day rental car experience. I picked up my Sport from the rental car agency in Arizona, I was told to get to a certain slot and where my chariot awaited me. When I saw that it was a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport my heart sank a bit as I had read the review on Edmunds. What I did not fully understand was the depth of automotive misery that I was about to encounter. The MOS's handling is simply awful, the car wallows, dips, sways and generally handles like its suspension came from a 1950's Chevrolet. The engine is anemic and with its truly terrible CVT, screams like a cat in heat whenever asked to accelerate, something that despite the howling takes a very long time. The doors are tinny and the inside rattled. The surfaces are all hard plastic and the instrument gauge looks like something from the mid-2000's. It is clear that Mitsubishi hasn't done much of anything to update this since its introduction in 2012, these guys make Chrysler look downright cutting edge. Simply put, the MOS is the worst car I have driven in recent memory and I would advise anyone who may be in the market for one to consider something, anything, else.

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).

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.

Gave it two Stars because it’s pretty nice looking but that’s it. No power seats, no gps drives like crap. You would think as much as it costs it would come with these two things. Cheap plastic all over. It’s not worth that much money. Walk away….better yet run!! Go get something better.
