2012 Mitsubishi Outlander ES 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
13 of 15 people found this review helpful
I bought this car at the very end of 2012 after my previous car was totaled and I had to make a decision pretty quick. I really hadn't thought of a CUV, but this was advertised right at 19K as a leftover 2012. I really liked to storage and room in the front and rear, and the ride seemed comfortable. Overall a much better value than just a sedan for someone who needs to haul stuff from time to time. So far (19 months in) the reliability has been excellent. No problems at all! Fuel economy is about as advertised 23/28, with better city mileage than that under some circumstances. However, if your highway speeds get up much above 70mph, the economy seems to drop off sharply.

CVT sucks

My CVT transmission seized at 137,500 miles. NO mention to change the fluid in the owners manual, just check fluid every 30k miles. Mitsubishi also fails to tell you they expect you to have the MIVEC motor valves to be adjusted every 30k miles (a $400-ish job) Due to limited Mitsubishi dealers I'd advise against buying any Mitsubishi. Also, the CVT fluid is $19.50 per quart, 6qt roughly to change fluid once. The ONLY place you can get the Diaqueen J4 tranny fluid IS at Mitsubishi. NOT worth the hassle. Odd size for the 18" wheels, hard to find & expensive to replace tires. Only 4 choices

I've owned my 2012 Outlander since, well, 2012, and everyone in the family loves the car! It's super easy to drive, has highest safety ratings, comfortable to ride in, and has required absolutely no repairs.

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander GT 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

I have driven a Mitsubishi Outlander for years and travel in my job. The vehicle has been great to drive and comes with all the bells and whistles you want in a suv. It’s not a fancy drive and isn’t as nice looking as many suvs but it does the job. That’s what I want. I have over 300000 Kms on it and only now it’s having some problems. I also like the fact you can switch it out and in to 4wd. It’s hard on gas with the 4wd but I only use it in the winter with Ivey or snowy conditions.
