I usually don't like to write reviews, but I see so many negative reviews about Outlander. I had the car for 5 years now, it has some flaws like road noise and little jerk while you breaking going over 80 miles per/h. Besides that, it is a great SUV, its a beast on snow.(believe me I battle test this on several snow storms in northeast) great handling and reliable. Well made SUV, don't let the reviews fool you, it's coming from an owner also I'm going to buy 2016 model.

It does what it do as it should be

I test drove this when it was released, as high school student I can not afford so I waited until I purchased used 2011 Outlander 2.4L 4WD in 2015 at 74,000km (46k miles) for $14,000 CAD ($10,500 USD). So good deal and I paid it off in 2018. No mechanical trouble, expect CV axle was leaking in 2016 and was replaced under warranty and that was it. Currently at 170,000km (105k miles) and rolling. I love this thing as I'm 6'6" and it comforts me and cargo size is amazing. If you take rear seats out, I can sleep in on a long road trip and numerous times I take headrest off, flip front passenger seat all the down to level the back seat to lay and sleep. I live in Canada with heavy winter condition and it is very reliable during these freezing time as handling is wonderful. I'm regilous in upkeeping maintenance and do these myself as it's not hard to do. Things I've replaced so far; Brake rotors and pads Outer tie rods Rear struts Muffler Side note; I do off roadings so I basically abuse it a bit. Maybe a bit much of fun. I bottomed out the muffler so hence why the replacement. Outer tie rods was replaced just few hundred km ago when it became loose from tear/wear in my time out in the wild roads. Rear struts, on other note, I was in Manitoba with 3 passengers and a full cargo with suitcases/stuff. I crossed one of poorly designed train crossing, so bumpy enough to bounce my SUV up in the air and lost all strength in rear struts from all the impact and weight. It was just sitting lower in the back after taking stuff out with no passenger. It is a great starter "newer" vehicle for me to purchase this when I was 20 years old. Planning on keep it long as I could. Heard about CVT nightmare stories, I called my local dealership for a quote on CVT replacement just out of curiosity and was blew away with $12,000 CAD ($9k USD) bill. Overall it's a really strong and reliable vehicle out of all vehicles I owned! I get lot of compliments about my vehicle, it look darn good!

Great gas saver, lot of gadgets (bluetooth, handsfree, satellite radio). 5 speed manual gearbox when I need it, nobody else has it. 4WD real not a "awd". Best car I have owned and the best warranty. great power for a 4 cylinder car. Looks great out and inside. third row when I need it. everything on this car is great. Had mitsubishi all my life( montero, montero sport, mirage and the old pickups).

Fraudulent fuel mpg claims

I bought this car because I read it was the most fuel-efficient seven seater vehicle. I normally get 17-20 mpg. My biggest gripe is the poor design of fuel economy computer which automatically erases the average after car is turned off for 6 hour+.
