Decent SUV, but has some cons

We bought a 2011 Outlander in 2015 with rather low mileage. It has the 3.0 liter v6 engine, 6-speed automatic and currently has 127,000 km (79,000 mi). It’s been a pretty good car overall. It can tow up to 3500 lbs, and the engine is surprisingly powerful, but can be loud at times. The shifts are pretty smooth once the car has warmed up, and the AWD is great in snow. However, the interior is a mixed bag. The seats, armrests and steering wheel are leather, but the dash has a lot of hard plastics and can feel cheap. The seats can become a bit uncomfortable on longer drives, but aren’t bad on short trips. The back seats are great. They are rooma, can recline and even move forwards and backwards. The third row, on the other hand, is so small and uncomfortable that I wouldn’t even consider using it. Once you fold the third row away, the cargo area is quite large. Up front, there is an infotainment system with a backup camera. The camera is good enough, but the rest of the system is infuriating to use. To change radio station, you have to repeatedly click on the tuning buttons until you get to the correct frequency. It’s a very confusing system in general. Confort wise, the ride can be rather bumpy on bad roads and there is a pretty good amount of noise on the highway. Reliability wise, it’s been alright. I heard that the models with the smaller engine can have transmission issues, but the ones with the v6 seem quite a lot more reliable. However, our brakes failed once and we’ve had two exhaust leaks. There are a few squeaks and rattles in the cabin, but they are very minor. Overall, it’s a decent car, and I would recommend it if it has the v6. However, it’s not the most refined suv out there and the fuel economy is rather poor.
Horrible No Confidence

If you need a car to get to work and family this is not the car. Continued electronic failures which prohibit the car from starting will cost you money and time. Wait an hour and try again until the next work day and a trip to the car rental. Beware the Outlander is a bad deal. The feeling of no confidence overtakes you when you attempt to start the vehicle and nothing happens, and let me tell you it is not a good feeling everyday after work to go through that. If you have kids and need to get home too, this auto may not be the best option.
