My wife and I have had the Outlander for a year now and we still love it. It has a very car-ish ride and still has many of the useful things we were hoping to get from an SUV (cargo space, roomy ride). ABS should be standard. It's probably not the best SUV on the market, but the cost makes it, in my opinion, the best value--which is most important. It's pretty good on gas anyway, but we added a tornado fuel saver and the hwy mpg jumped by 4-6 miles/gal! The sportronic trannie is a hoot too. I don't use it often, but there's plenty of juice when I need it. We love it, and anyone that would give it a chance most likely will too.

While out of the mainstream, my Outlander is subject to unusual abuse - - I live in China and run this vehicle over roads in serious disrepair. I find the ride over rough serfaces to be pretty good (maybe a reflection of Mitsubishis's long off-road exp.). The engine is pretty good in this iteration of the Outlander. Plenty of power (presumaly the 160 horse version), yet fuel efficient enuf for the high gas prices here. I look forward to running it in the snow but will have to wait 'til next year for that.

We bought the car Dec 26th and already have put close to 2000 mi on it! Very fun to drive, and handles very well! The gas mileage is getting better with every fill up!

The Outlander LSAWD surpassed our expectation.It's like you're riding in Lexus based on comfort and its rear end design.The height is lower Compared to Rav4 & Honda CRV so you are more closer to the ground in proportion to its center of gravity so you are more stable,its like riding in Subaru Forester.In regards with fuel its good it doesn't cost as much as other suv.If your looking in SUV which you can use in all terrain try the Outlander,I can say you won't regret it.
