Our Outlander saved me, my daughter's and her friend's lives! Tonight we were in a terrible car accident where I went into a ditch and my truck flipped over three times! We all had our seatbelts on, the back windows shattered OUT the car, the sides got bangged up, but the doors never caved in, the roof and hood were badly smashed. When people passed the vehicle, they were horrified...and could not believe we were alive! I am going to buy another...as I feel it truly saved us....I give it a five star safety rating...thanks Mitsubishi!

I bought this car because the year-end price was too good to refuse (despite not being crazy about the ext styling), but am amazed at the reliability. Almost 80k miles on it and only oil changes/checks & recall replacements. Now needs a new battery. Roomy interior, comfortable on a 2k mile trip. Gas mileage better than expected (average 23-24MPG overall).

I have researched over 10 of these so called "crossover" models and the outlander is by far the best choice. It gets unbelievable gas mileage and sits up high enough to feel like your up with the big boys.My biggest concern when buying this vehicle was all the negative reviews concerning the power to get up and go.At 75 mph you are barely at 3000 rpm! I guess if you wanna drive a 100 mph power would be a problem but for everyday comuters this is the best. To give you a better idea as far as the size of the suv it is probably the same height and size a the old chevy blazer 4 door. Overall this was a great buy.

After three years of fairly trouble free operation the radiator in my Mitsubishi Outlander blew causing the enigine to overheat and sustain further damage. The problem was with a defective fan controller known by Mitsubishi. They elected to cover the cost of all the parts, but not the labor. Is that good customer service? I don't think so. BTW, all this happened just one month after the warranty expired.
Pleasantly surprised in Hawaii

This car was not first choice but it has been dependable for 5+ years! When on the mainland, it's been to New Mexico, Las Vegas, & throughout California with no problems. Driven through rain, fog, & desert too. It's great to have for long drives & the MPG is comparable to other SUVs of its type/year. The interior is well spaced, especially for back seat passengers, & the stock sound system is surprisingly good. A/C is still running great too. Only complaint is the front seat headrests. I feel like my head is jutted out too forward. Had to just turn my headrest the other way. Also, maintenance at Mitsubishi dealers can get quite pricey, but it is the dealer after all. Great car!
