Used 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Consumer Reviews
Great Competitor
I've had my XLS eleven months now and am very happy with it; no problems yet & going strong. It has a number of features usually found in much more expensive cars, but if Mitsubishi wants the XLS to compete against the higher-end SUVs in its segment, then they'll have to "up the ante"; they'll have to install illuminated vanity mirrors (and improve quality of sun visors), programmable automatic locks, dual express-down windows, real fog lamps, mudguards, driver and passenger power seats, auto-dimming mirror w/built-in compass and HomeLink. With at least these additional features, it would put the Outlander XLS more at the Acura/BMW/Lexus level as opposed to the Honda/Toyota level.
One Punishing Ride
A kidney belt might be a nice option, you will feel every crack and bump in that supposedly smooth black top. The ride is harsh and tiring, like a bicycle with touring wheels, otherwise the car is a joy. We got the basic $20k model, upgraded to leather, moon roof, CD changer, 10 yr warrantly.

Best Kept Secret
My Outlander marks the end of a long search to replace my 1995 Aurora. It stomps the Toyota Rav4 and Honda CR-V on looks, warranty and practicality; it is more driveable and gets better mileage than the Dodge Dakota; and it has more usable storage than the Dodge Magnum with much better visibility. Performance is not what I enjoyed with the Aurora's V-8, but the Outlander has acceptable zip (on regular gas) and gets better mileage - almost 22 mpg on my daily in-town/Interstate commute. The 650-watt stereo and 10-inch subwoofer are fun to show off, but if you aren't into rap then I would suggest you stick with the standard system and use the extra $$ to take this on a vacation.
Great Value
I like this vehicle more and more each day. It drives nice and has a lot a cool features. I find the engine a little soft on immediate acceleration, but find it very responsive afterwards. The third road seat is not that useable and I would like to have that as an option to get the extra storage. The clamshell rear opening is very versatile. I found you can lower the tailgate and close the top hatch to haul longer items like boards. I feel like I am driving a high class vehicle but not paying the high price. It is a real value!
Excellent Value
I've had my Outlander for 3 weeks and so far I am very happy. I have the luxury and s&s packages. The ride is a good balance between sport and comfort. I like the exterior and interior look. It has tons of features for the money and is very versatile.
