After seeing all the other reviews, I did not see one person mention the hard pull to the right...a recall item, nor did anyone complain of a hard banging noise under the front. I do live on a mountain dirt road, I did expect off-road bility.I had this vehicle in the shop 3 times in two months for front-end problems. After contacting Mitsubishi for the 2nd time I was told it was NOT an off-road vehicle....hmmmm. I thought that was what an SUV was for. Would not recommend this vehicle for any serious off-road driving. Dirt roads it was not made for. Highway is nice, maybe I should move, huh? Also, too much outside noise,too much tinny noise,not solid

We haven't owned our Outlander for long, but we sure are enjoying it. It's peppy off the line, despite it's 4cl. engine. But the extras we got, and the way cool looking body, make up for that. If you are looking at a CR-V (like I was), take the time to test out an Outlander.

Checqued out Outlander-Good Choice

The other day I went to look at the Outlander, since I needed a larger vehicle. My first impressions were for the most part positive, but would have been more positive, had Mitsubishi added the Galant V6 as an option. A little underpowered, but overall a good choice.

Rides like a car, nice interior, lots of places for storage. Did not like how break pedal works. Very soft and has to be pressed all the way down. And now comes the bad news: VERY UNDERPOWERED. Driving a 6 cyl. Maxima now, I would expect different performance from the 4 cyl. car, but 140 HP (even with highly advertised torque) just enough for this car. The engine made a noise and struggled when I tried to merge into highway from an exit. At 55mph it was hard to find extra power boost for passing other cars.

I love our new Outlander. Everything about it is great including the price. My only request is that it had a V6. It has plenty of power with the 4 cylinder but I am a big horsepower kind of guy. It is still great without it, but it would be just that much better with it.
