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.
