I find the Outlander to be comfortable and stylish. The 2.4 liter engine provides the power level I expected (what do you expect from a 4 cylinder?). I think it is enough power for most drivers. After reading through almost all of the other reviews, I have found some common complaints. 1)The vehicle pulls to one side. I don't think this is an alignment problem. 2)Under hard acceleration, the muffler or something in the exhaust sounds like it is loose or has a hole in it. I checked the NHTSA website for recalls on these two specific items, but there are not any. Overall, I think this is a strong buy for the money.
Great little SUV

It's 2024 as I write this & my mileage is 265,663. AWD works good, very comfortable seats and great on gas. My sister gave me this car and she drove it for about 2-3 years before that. It's my second favorite SUV (Santa Fe is my first) & honestly I'm just thankful it's still going. Only problem I know is the front end, but considering age & miles on it I'm not surprised. Other cars I've had usually have worse rust and crap out before this one. If you can find one of these with lower miles and it's running good, I'd definitely recommend it. ETA: We live in a very rural place and our driveway is both steep and rough, never gotten stuck.

Great Car, Bad Dealer

Put 1000 miles on car and it drives like a dream. Get 29 MPG overall driving. Thats 75 MPH thru the mts. Who said this car cant climb? It sure can, and no problem either. This car is very satisfying so far. I love it. To bad Mark Mitsubishi is giving Mitsubishi such a black eye thru underhanded delings and false advertising. Oh well, there must be some good dealers out there.
Look for another make

The Mitsubishi Outlander drives badly, its visibility is limited, and its fuel economy for 4 cyl engine is minimal. Its interior design is cheap. In general - this truck is poorly built and has an underpowered engine, with fuel consumption equal to the V6 engine. I you want a small SUV, look for another make.
Terrible Pull to the left

As soon as I started driving this new vehicle I experienced a severe pull to the left. I assumed it was just out of alignment. However when I called the dealership, service told me the 2003's had a known defect requiring a major repair and I needed to drop the vehicle off for at least a day. Can you sell vehicles with known safety defects? Other than that major flaw, it's nice.
