Don't rely on reviews. Tried them all, rav4, cr6, cx7, rogue. Mits outlander by far the best value. Love the ride, comfort, noise level, mpgs. The only area I felt like this car suffered was acceleration. Don't drive in econo mode. It accelerates poorly and does not make that much difference in mpgs . No troubles in 54000 miles. Very comfortable. I have always owned Toyota but took a chance on this. Glad I did. Update. 90,000 miles with no problems.

Please, do not listen to these reviewers who are trying to kill mitsubishi. I tested my new outlander 2014 for a week now and it is amazing. i have got the GLS V6 Model Biege Leather Inside. the quallity of interior is outstanding. This car is a little bit heavy when you start but after 40km/h it will goes very fast. I was driving on 160km/h and the car was very quiet. The Price of the outlander V6 Top of the line is cheaper than a toyota rav 4 standard edition. If you are still thinking of buying this car , go a head and save your money.

Mitsubishi's price of around $26k w/100k warranty was what sealed the deal. The MIVEC V6 is plenty powerful, especially since it only weighs as much as a midsized sedan(3500lb curb weight), despite what others may say. It also sounds quite nice, but not overly noisy. Have about 2000 miles now, and averaging 21-22 MPG's in 85% CITY driving. You can do 30 MPG on the highway at 65-70mph, but I don't drive there often. The 20/28 ratings are just about right. Ride is compliant and very Japanese, but not luxurious....more sporty. Handling is competent and fairly flat. Cargo space very good, maybe not as wide as Pathfinder or Explorer.

Owned the 2014 Outlander SE for 9 months. My main focus when purchasing was gas mileage and seating capacity. Not only did the it meet those requirements, but I got so much more. Initially, I was bothered because I rarely see an Outlander on the road, thinking it must be a bad car, nobody wants it; Have I made a mistake??? No regrets! I now say that it is a well-kept secret, because this car is a real gem!!! I love all the unexpected bells/whistles and sleek body style. I like cars that don't age quickly, like my old Jeep Liberty (had it 10 years and it still looks as good as anything else on the road). The body style has longevity and will look stylish for years to come. Super gas mileage!

Primary Purpose: 1. Commuting to work alone (95%) 2. Short trips with family (5%) Been shopping around for a small CUV that has a 3rd row (for those rare occasions). Wanted a 3rd row as a backup for the minivan. The minivan is reserved for long trips. I can't wean myself from Japanese cars. I shopped between the Santa Fe, Rogue 2014 and the Outlander 2014. Being a current Nissan and Mitsubishi owner, it was a hard decision between the Rogue and the Outlander. The current MPG averages 28-30 combined. The warranty and price were the clinchers. It is relatively quiet, acceleration was good for my needs, very roomy 2nd row (I am only 5'7" - so there is plenty of room left behind me).
Luxurious, powerful but inexpensive SUV

This is a lot of car for the money and, IMHO, severely underrated by reviewers. Bells and whistles usually found on much more expensive cars/add on packages. V6 engine is a great compromise of being plenty powerful but still fuel efficient. AWD (not a cut down version like other cars, active torque vectoring), high end features that really make a difference in safety and comfort (e.g. automatic wiper, automatic HID lights, super large outside mirrors, backup camera, dual zone AC, keyless entry and start). 100% reliable to this date and I'm confident it will handle pretty much anything with ease, passengers, heavy cargo, towing, and challenging weather conditions. Fun to drive thanks to solid road feel, very spacious interior and virtually no blind spots. Since owning it, had a couple of long distance road trips with heavily loaded car or trailer. Pleasure to drive, much less tiring than with previous car and super easy to pass, even with load. Major complaint is lower back clearance in back with load. AWD was great with boat trailer, especially on curvy road.

Bought the car a little over a month ago and now have 1200 miles on it. I really like the new design, the fact that it comes standard with 3 rows of seats. The interior isn't flashy but it doesn't seem like cheap plastic either. I like the touch screen radio, backup cam, 18 inch wheels, heated seats, integrated blue tooth, fog lights ect. and all the other options for the price over competing SUV's. I was really considering the Subaru Forester, but the price and the 3rd row of seats sealed the deal. The factory Warranty is by far better. I've owned an 02 Lancer, an 03 Eclipse and never had any trouble with either. Getting about 25MPG, which is a little lower than I was hoping.
A great small crossover suv

Do not trust the reviewers. This vehicle deserves to be test driven. The material quality is fantastic inside. Mitsubishi did not cheap out and use tons of hard plastic like the rest of the competition. I think the exterior looks classy and is similar to the Land Rover Range Rover or 1st gen Cayanne. The 3rd row is usable because the second row can be moved up without losing that much legroom. I'm 5'5" and I was able to sit in the 3rd row. I wouldn't want to sit there for long trips but it should be fine for my needs around town. I can't wait to try out the 4wd on the snow. I believe it has much better ground clearance and 4wd system than the CR-V. I'm getting 25 mpg on mostly city driving.
Love my Mutsubishi

Just picked up a 2014 Outlander SE AWD with the Touring package today. I am in love with this car. It could use a bit more power. But, honestly, the power is more than adequate, I think I'm just gluttonous. The exterior is more gorgeous in pictures than you can see online, and the interior is very well-crafted and classically designed - modern without being trendy. For the price, the features and quality can't be beat. Oh, and the 710 watt Rockford Fosgate stereo? Ummm...insane.

Best car for the value. If your on the fence about the exterior and interior design compared to its competitors. Check this car out in person. It will most likely surprise you. My previous car was a mitsu galant. With everything original in tact with over 220k miles. So I know and trust their engineering. As long as you do the regular maintenance and don't submerge it under water or hit some deep pot holes at aggressive speeds this vehicle should be reliable. You should never have to rely on their warranty but it's nice to have as a cushion/ peace of mind.

This is an awesome vehicle for the the money. Let me see I could have bought a Nissan Versa Note or a 7 passenger Outlander. Our has been great with the exception of being rear-ended six weeks into ownership. The OEM tires are junk, but the value provided by this vehicle is extraordinary. We paid $19,300 BRAND NEW including TAX and fees in FL. We can haul 7 people when necessary, and average 28MPG @70mph on trips. I have seen as high as 31MPG in town. Update: Vehicle was great but did not survive a large oak tree falling on it in Jan of 2017.

I have always loved Mitsubishis,very dependable underrated vehicles. I've owned many and still have a 91 Gsx awd Turbo. So when I found a v6 gt 2014 for a steal I jumped on it. Great car all the bells and whistles,Awd,v6 and it runs great, I don't like SUVs with wimpy 4cylinder engines, maybe if it was a turbo. But I'll happily Sacrifice some gas mileage for a v6. I have a 4.7 V8 Jeep awd,that's really too much. So this was a perfect compromise,I also knew Mitsubishi has a long history with awd and even v6 engines,from all their partnerships over the years. What comes to mind is diamond star,and the Dodge avenger,I also owend with a v6,good car. I get compliments on how smooth this outlander runs,even at 8years old and some miles. I added a remote starter,upgraded speakers and added a power sub,great sound. Comfortable seats,plenty of room, good fuel economy,great reliability. Highly recommend a outlander gt v6

I own a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander ES model. I am the second owner and I bought it with 24,000 miles. What I like about this SUV is that you rarely see them where I live in the Palm Springs area so I took a chance and bought one. Everything was great in the beginning but the more I drove the car I started to see little things here and there and why the price was so low overall in all Mitsubishi vehicles. There is little to no soundproofing on most of the truck so I had to install some for a quieter ride. Also the model I bought came with those ugly steel rims so I purchased some lighter rims at my local tire shop and it seems to get better gas mileage, even though the gas mileage is okay or I can say good considering the size of a suv. Now at 79000 Miles I haven't had any issues with the car I've only done oil changes regular maintenance checkups but one thing that I did notice is that during our summers here of 120 or so these models always make a squealing sound when accelerating. I even went to the dealership and bought the pulleys and items to be replaced (500$)It stopped for a week or so but this heat makes them squeal like pigs LOL randomly the good part. If you're not into cars that much this is a great car for you or if you have kids and you know they are going to mess up your car this is a great buy. And if you are avoiding a minivan this is a good buy. Now at 133k miles my suv has not given me any mayor issues. Just keep your fluids in check. Now at 155k miles I get a check engine light, but goes away if I put an octane booster on my gas or use premium 91 gas. Also i did replace my struts and changed the spark plugs since I bought the suv. So besides that's no issues. I changed the transmission oil at 150k miles. Make sure its oem oil. I did read the auto manual and it's advise to do it every 30k. If it's not broke, don't fix it..

I think this car provides a smooth ride over all. There are two major gripes I have about it. I don't feel safe in it when making turns. It loses traction no matter the terrain or weather conditions. I can't drive over 20 mph and make a turn without feeling like it might flip over. The other issue is the A/C. The compressor went out on it two years after I bought it. It went out again recently. I am told the issue is due to bad design. Oh, and while I'm here, I think the issue with any Mitsubishi is that they hold no value. Whether that is warranted or not, I don't know. Based on my experience, I wouldn't buy one again and would recommend others to look for something else.

Bought a brand new 2014 Outlander Touring Edition, after less than 2 yrs the entire exhaust rusted out. Called both Company and 2 dealerships to rectify....they said I have to pay for it. It's their fault for cheaply used product, 2015 Models got Teflon coated exhaust so this wouldn't happen but refuse to fix the cheap one they put on my 2014 . Sounds darn fishy to me! This car has always been garage kept & has never seen snow & salted roads! POS Company that does not back their product....BEWARE!!!!!

My Outlander has cost me $4406 in air conditioning and 2320 in the motor.. 100,000 is all you will get. Service departments I have worked with have been very helpful and nice. Mitsubishi corporation sucks. I was looking to buy the PHEW NOT NOW. Thanks for educating me

I had my outlander for 6 months now... overall good SUV, however the fuel efficiency is not the best, i get around 10L per 100 km in mixed driving. When i'm on the highway it is very loud, even with windows up... The stereo is not the best either, my Bluetooth connection is a bit delayed sometimes, especially when on a videocall... I live in Canada and bought it because of harsh winters as i had a civic before and it was very challenging in deep snow. Will update after testing the outlander in winter conditions. update: one year later the outlander is still strong. fuel efficiency is about 9L per 100km. The cabin is noisy, but otherwise good. It easily survived Canadian winter even on all season tires. Nov 2023 update. The car is doing well. Had to replace the timing belt at 180k. replaced pads and rotors and that's pretty much it. The car is not a luxury car by no means, but the quality of it is impressive so far. i have 200k now and no problems

I Purchased a 2014 SE V6 used 5 years ago for my wife who did not like driving her 2015 front wheel drive Hyundai Sonata in Canadian winters. A couple of years later, she upgraded to a 2017 Infinity QX60 and at the time we had planned to sell the Outlander, but I liked the car so much that I ended up selling my 2016 GMC Sierra 4x4 and keeping it instead. The fuel economy advantage, easier parking and driving not to mention the over inflated resale of my pickup at the time was too high to ignore (think pandimic used car market boom). Its not a perfect car but I'm happy with it and plan to keep it as my daily driver. I'll start with the negatives first: As other have mentioned rather noisy as it lacks sound deadening. I believe this was address it latter models. Had starting issue in extreme cold. I have to give it a bit of gas while I press the ignition button or it will not start. This happens any time its colder than -18C/0F. Not a big deal but this means I cannot remote start it when its this cold. It’s not a sexy ride. its neither particularly nice to look at nor is it in anyway engaging to drive. It’s kind of soft and floaty with plenty of body roll in the corners. Like other Mitsubishi models it has poor resale compared to its Japanese competitors. Though this can be a bonus when purchasing used. Positives: It’s been reliable. Had around 75000k on it when I bought it, now it’s at 140000k. Other than the cold start issue is has been flawless. Decent fuel economy for what it is. Can tow a 2000lb trailer with ease. it’s rated for 3500 but I believe you need a break controller for that. Good for trips to the dump with a U-Haul trailer. Only problem is the Tow hitch reduces the already limited ground clearance in the back even more. 7 Passenger option is nice to have but I think in the 5 years of owning it I've only used it once. Great warranty. Best in the business I believe with 10-year 160000km power train. Mine is still under warranty though I’ve never had to use it. As mentioned, it's cheap to buy used. Not sure why Mitsubishi takes such a hit in resale, but it works out to your advantage if you want to buy a used one. Great AWD system. Perfect for slippery Canadian winters. Its versatile, it’s got plenty of space for carrying gear in the back. Especially with both rows folded down. The factory roof rack expands that caring capacity even more when you’re though a roof carrier up there. Anyway, that been my experience. All in all, no regrets on buying it or deciding to keep it over my pickup. Cheers.

Purchased brand new. Right after hitting 35k miles (about 2.5 years in), backup camera goes out. Talk to service at dealer, if it was just a fuse, it would still be covered. I'd have to pay an $89 diagnostic fee (wasn't a top priority as the backup sensors still worked). After hitting 40/45k miles, my radio speakers just cut out completely on a road trip. Next day they worked. Next week, the Bluetooth kept randomly going into call mode, it wasn't calling anyone, I wasn't calling anyone. I restarted the car several times at stop lights, same situation happened. Decided to take it to service for diagnostics. Whomp, whomp, it was the ENTIRE RADIO SYSTEM. It would cost about $1200 with labor to replace the radio (& that's without NAV). Figured I'd deal with it until it truly went kaput. Hit 55k miles & the compressor for A/C started making Darth Vader noises & A/C went out on, of course, a hot day, plus, I had a guest riding with me all day to my accounts for work (A/C warranty, amongst most others, runs out at 60k). I made an appointment ASAP! Compressor was leaking so I got a new one that day (they had them on hand as they said they have been having issues with them). I have been juggling with the idea of trading in before it depreciates in value even more from me packing miles on it for work (avg. 5k every 2 months) or buying an extended warranty for around $1,500 which would allow me to get a new radio (hopefully the Bluetooth would be smoother on that one) & I would have a backup camera again after a year without. 1st owner, would hit 4 years in May of 2018 if I keep it that long. I'm worried I'll be 2 hours away from home & the Keyless Push to Start won't work next. Great PRO is that Mitsubishi is the only company with a 100k mile Powertrain Warranty. Also, I get amazing gas mileage for a 3rd row SUV. That's where I struggle with my decision.

I will not recommend the 2014 Outlander. I bought mine new and it has nothing been a headache. I've had a leaky head gasket, 3 serpentine belts (due to squealing), alternator, pulleys, all new exhaust tubing, rear light socket, and a blown radiator. In my experience, this car is well below average reliability. The vehicle is also underpowered. Mine has the 2.4L and if you have 3 adults, you might want to throw out some weight out the window. It is such a dog with 3 adults. In addition the 3rd row is a joke. Picture someone sitting on a paint can and bent over to avoid hitting your head on the roof.

We’ve had this outlander for 4 years now (bought used) and have nothing but trouble. 1st (days after purchase) we had a leak whenever it would rain around the antenna on the top of the vehicle. Then our backup camera died. We’ve had tire pressure issues from the get go due to faulty sensors. Now the “check electrical systems” light keeps coming on and NO ONE has any idea what’s wrong with it. Mitsubishi has had it for 6 weeks and keeps charging us for different fixes “hoping” something works. I’d love to trade it in but am afraid I still owe too much. Plus in this day and age nothing out there to buy!!!

Overall, Nice vehicle. Nice handling in city and has decent power with the V6. Very fast pick up on the highway. The V6 makes a nice growl when accelerating. Handles rough pavement like a charm. Good fuel consumption for a v6. It is about the same as my 4 cylinder rav4. Very good brake feel. Very nice well laid out dash. Out of all the vehicles i tested drove, The forester xt, mazda cx-5 and the outlander GT was in the running. The forester seat was not supportive and the steering was too loose. The mazda was very good and my wife has one. I think the handling is slightly better than the outlander but the powe of the outlander cannot be beaten . The Super allweel drive system is legendary.

I had the base model with the full upgrade package with the Fosgate Stereo and the 7-seater. Some may look at this as an average vehicle but personally I used to hate buying a car and all the accessories fall apart and the handles falling off the doors and the stereo systems not being very well and seats covers cracking. I have to say the Mitsubishi uses the best parts for the interior of the car because none of them ever fall off or fall apart and the seat covers look like new when we handle the car back in. The Fosgate stereo system with the bass booster was just awesome and it really didn't cost that much more to get the extra accessories when you actually see what you get. All-wheel drive would have been wonderful but the car handle pretty well in bad weather. The one thing that I agree with is the two seats in the back we're kind of useless facing forward. They should have had it designed so that the seats would be facing looking backwards so that you had good leg room. I just took out one of the seats and made extra storage cargo. It was fine for my needs and my family. Overall, this is the really the best bang for your buck at a great quality level. The tires that the car came with lasted 50,000 miles easy. The four cylinder engine also seem to hold up very well. We put about a hundred thousand miles on the car and never once had a major repair except one recall on the emergency brake cable. No cost to us. I love the Outlander series. As we speak I'm shopping for another one now.

We have a 2014 Outlander. No problems. Easy to drive. Very comfortable/I'm 6'5". Plenty of room for two people with lot's of "stuff". Can not agree with all the complaints. Don't need the third row seats, so what? Decent cost of operation. IMHO the best vehicle I've owned. Absolutely love FMD and lane avoidance. The back up camera is good. Dealer service is great. Have NO complaints.

Cylinder 1 went bad at 117,000 miles

I bought it used at about 45,000 miles in 2017. The light Service Engine Soon was on at that time but the dealer on highway VA7 in Leesburg cleared the code and assured me it was not a big problem. Later in the next five years, the light came on and off every a few months despite my best effort to have the car serviced and maintained by the book. In August 2019, the AC compressor just died out of the blue, costing me about $850. In mid July this year, 2022, one day the engine went bad as I was driving along i-95. At first, I thought one of the spark plugs was faulty after I have them replaced at 100,000 miles. The car was brought to a shop and the professionals there diagnosed it, then wrote a report saying that cylinder 1 had deep scratches. The cost of repair would be from $3,500 to $4,000. I decided not to have it fixed and I sold the car as is to Carmax for $2,000. I did a Google search and found that quite a few other people suffered from the same problem with the same car. I will never choose Mitsubishi again.

A/C Compressor Damaged after 3 years

My Outlander just got 62,000 miles in 3 years and the A/C got broken. I took the car to the dealership and the repair cost is $1,000.00. I am truly disappointed with Mitsubishi brand since how come a 3 years old car had this issue? I was servicing the car at the dealership every time taking care of all recommended maintenance. This was my third Mitsubishi and probably the last one after switching from Honda and Toyota, probably I will go now to KIA or another brand.

When you compare any vehicle priced under $25k that comes with 5/60 bumper to bumper warranty, 10/100k power train warranty, comes with back up camera, heated seats, bluetooth, roominess and 26 mpg combined, there aren't many that can compare. With the 2014 Outlander SE, you get all this and reliability of Mitsubishi. Yes, it's not a sports car. Yes, it doesn't have cutting edge design. Unlike other vehicles in its class, it's very quiet, is comfortable, handles reasonably well, and has all the safety features you'd expect for lots more. We researched lots of vehicles for what we needed and couldn't come up with a better solution for the money. Now 6 years later AC went out and $1000 later back in place. Overall two sets of tires, original brakes ,maintenance by the book ends up being medium cost of maintenance over 109,500 miles. Update: Regrettably sold the Outlander as moving to Alaska would cost over $4,000 to ship there. It was a good car

There is a lot to like about this vehicle, and some things that drive me insane. First, the shiftable automatic transmission is the best thing since sliced bread in an automatic. It's like having both a manual and an automatic to chose from. I leave it in automatic mostly, but on the freeway in stop and go traffic, I often pick the best gear and use it. It's incredibly helpful on steep mountain downhills so that you use the engine to help with slowing the vehicle so you don't burn out your brakes, and you will see everyone else with a newer automatic transmission on their brakes constantly but not you! It's also helpful if you have to some to an abrupt stop, to help you slow down faster at higher speeds. So that is a 10 star feature, and one of the main reasons I bought this vehicle. The V6 engine is good, nicely powered and can get on it when you need to step up your speed in a quick way (freeway entrance or passing a vehicle on a 2 lane road). The seats are comfy, and the folding mechanism for the back seats is quick to put them down and the whole rear is flat, even with the third row. Beware, however, the third row seats are more child size and a large adult will have a tough time getting in the very back seats and sitting in them. I did not want the third row and would have preferred a vehicle without them, but the used ones at the time I made the purchase were limited, so I took this car anyway and never use them. So if you are looking to haul a lot of cargo, know all the seats fold flat and you will have a lot of cargo space. The front end is longer on this vehicle and I can park in compact spaces if there's room for the front end to hang over the curb. It also does a U-turn on a dime, I like that. I have taken my vehicle on interstate trips and even, on long flat stretches in 6th gear with favorable winds, getting to 22 miles per gallon is tough. It's say even the highway mileage is about 20 mpg on average. Less in town. But the gas tank is 16 gallons, so you get a lot of miles down the road on a full tank on the freeway. Now the things that have disappointed me: First, and this is a big deal because I live in the Sacramento Valley in CA and we have lots of sunny days and long, low sunsets. The visors are a joke. My Kia Spectra has telescoping visors that were on a swivel hinge and I could position them in just about any angle to block the sun. These visors are tiny and I often have to drive while using my hand to block the sun so I can see, because they are either up or down and that's it and insufficient. Small and useless unless the sun is high. Better visors are a cheap fix and I am disappointed in these. I had an electrical issue with a short in the rear driver's side taillight that had to be fixed at the mechanics shop. And the replacing a taillight requires removing an interior cargo area side panel; it's not a quick fix. That is disappointing. I have had to replace both the A/C condenser and the compressor on separate occasions one with less than 70,000 miles and the other right around 80K. Very disappointed in the quality of the AC equipment. And this was the thing that made me furious.....YOU CAN'T PUT CHAINS ON THIS VEHICLE. That means it can't go to the Sierras during a heavy storm, because you must carry chains and can be ticketed if you don't have them. What a huge disappointment, so it's not a very hearty mountain vehicle. And because it's technically AWD (not 4WD), if you puncture one tire, you will be replacing all 4. It's happened to me twice. I will be replacing it soon with less than 100K, and buying a true 4WD vehicle, that can take chains and is more mountain worthy. I will miss the transmission, but that's about it.

I think the car has been very good to drive, comfortable, not as soundproof as I wish, but not bad. I have been happy with it.

Just hit 3,000 miles and mileage is more like 17-25 mpg. Doors are really light, back gate doesn't always open, a # of features are stripped out in the SE so some things you would expect aren't included. Bluetooth doesn't always work so I make a call, they hear me but I don't know it's even connected. Wipers spray over the windshield/crooked. Remote start is a joke, need to start again when in car. The only comfortable spot for the steering wheel will block your dash. Two days after leasing, had major mechanical issue. Second lease payment they didn't notify me of automatic payments starting so I made a payment and then they pulled as well, overdrafted my account for following directions.
I like this car but performance is deceving

the car literally resists acceleration with a lot of noise. I hate it. When I had my Honda, you didn't hear a thing. It was smooth and was actually putting my passengers to sleep, it was so smooth. This SUV is not smooth. I have the AWD Outlander Sport.

I test drove several Mitsubishi cars and liked the way the car felt. After driving the car for a week I was able to find a number of short comings. The automatic transmission is unresponsive, traction control never engages in slippery conditions, loud road noise, and the car itself feels unrefined. V6 engine has 224 hp at 6250 rpm, but power to weight ratio is 0.045 hp/lb. The car is a bit too heavy at 5005 pounds. My previous car was lighter at 4001 pounds and you can feel the difference. This is my first Mitsubishi car, but I have been looking at them for 15 years. A number of my friends owned Mitsubishi cars and were happy with them.
