2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Consumer Reviews
Pricing
It’s an ok suv
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.

Underwhelming
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 love my 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport LE!
I swore I'd never own a crossover SUV. I am a tall person with really bad knees due to my military service and anything less than a full-size SUV meant pain in my k red anytime I got out of the vehicle. However, full-size SUVs are going the way of the dodo, and the ones left are so expensive now. I'd been looking at different cars for two years, nursing another few months out of the Jeep Liberty I'd been driving for several years, and just didn't like the appearance of the ones I was seeing. As important as everything else is about a car, for me... The appearance matters, too. One fay, I happened to drive past a local Mitsubishi dealership as a truck was there unloading cars and I saw a red one that looked fantastic, in my opinion. I went home and immediately looked up the website to see what car it was. They had others on the lot, so they already had one like what I was looking for. The Outlander Sport LE had everything I was looking for, plus a few more bells and whistles than I usually spring for when buying a car, and the price was right in the middle of the price range I was seeking.. The mileage rating were great, the safety ratings were great, reviews from other past owners were surprisingly positive given you rarely see these on the road or in commercials (and what's up with that, Mitsubishi???) All in all, it seemed like a solid car that people enjoyed owning. I woke up early the next morning, a Saturday, got pre-approved for the loan, took a tall friend with me (I am also tall, but I wanted the friend so they could help me with the roominess of the back seat) and was at the dealership when they opened their doors. I did a test drive over about an hour over a variety of roads and came away extremely happy with the car. I will say the transmission can be a little sluggish, particularly when going uphill, but taking your foot off the gas to give it a chance to "catch up" for a second or two helps in that regard, but otherwise, the car's far more impressive than Edmunds and Car & Driver would have us believe. I'm not a novice driver. Until I got out of the Air Force and drove exclusively SUVs because of my knees, I was strictly a muscle car w/a stick shift person who has lived and driven all over the world. The 2023 Outlander Sport LE still impresses me. I live in a semi rural area and the car handles the curvy roads well, with no concerns about it not holding the road on the curves. The steering is tight but comfortably so and because of rhis, it's a joy to drive. The inside comfort is such I feel I can do a long drive and not feel as though i've just been best up. The comfort bells and whistles, including the steering wheel controls for the radio and phone, are simply the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae. What I enjoy the most is routinely getting between 25 and 30 MPG, as I drive both highways and city street to work everyday. The pain at the pump is no more. Even with higher gas prices right now, yesterday, with my dash light telling me I needed gas, I filled the car up for just under $40, which will last me a full two weeks. Finally, total strangers are constantly telling me how much they love my car, both the color (red) and the body style. So long as Mitsubishi keeps making this car, and they keep the same body style, I will continue to drive these cars until I take my last breath. I would also recommend this for newer, young drivers, teenagers. With better than average safety ratings and how great it is in gas, this would be a good car for them. It vs not so powerful they would have trouble handling it, but it's still a good looking car at an affordable price.

Best car ever
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 ☺️.
