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.

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.

I own this car and so far I loved it! With all the led lights it has and the variety of cars it has. This car is a little peppy too so that I can get on the highway easier and it saves so much gas for being an suv
