At 75k entire rear suspension needs to be replaced. Car was cared for very well. Was told by dealer that I should have had a 4 wheel alignment every yr! Good bye mitsu

The Outlander has car-like handling with no bad manners. This vehicle is easy to drive, park and has good visability. I am very impressed with the quiet ride on the highway. There is no wind noise and the seats are comfortable. Its ride is stiff but very very solid. Its controls are simple. The 2.4L engine offers adequate power and is smooth. The transmission is also well matched to the engine and shifts smoothly, sport mode is great in town and with the cruise on it prevents downshifts. The stock 4 speaker stereo is average. The rear seats recline and that helps when installing a car seat. All Wheel Drive has no computer management like a Subaru but still helps in the snow. My truck has not had one problem in 25,000 miles.

This smaller SUV handles like a car, which is what I was looking for. So far, it's been a smooth ride, not as bumpy as I would've expected. I really love the cargo space & riding much higher than I'm used to in a conventional auto. I've only had the car a couple of weeks, but have almost 1,000 miles on it as it's been fun driving it everywhere. It's a purchase that has put a smile on my face!

I bought my Outlander 2005 brand new and it has served me great! Currently at 132,000 + miles I've only had to do the usual wear and tear maintenance. I did however change the water pump about 8 months ago. The roads where I live are brutal and cars take a beating. Thankfully my Outlander has held up well and is going strong. The cargo is spacious and there is good leg room on the back seat.

After "trying on" several small SUVs, I decided this one has the best seat comfort which was my main criterion. I was pleasantly surprised with the mpg and ergonomics of the unit as well. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a small SUV with AWD.
