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.

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.

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 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.
