Used 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Consumer Reviews
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.

Nice styling, very good mileage
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.

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.
