Great car with wonderful styling, quick acceleration when needed, ECO for increased mileage, just fun to drive! Sleek, modern styling with a great engine and history of low maintenance.

The only rationale I can come up with for people giving good reviews on this car is the sheer embarrassment that they bought it. I know that's how I felt. I should have listened to the consumer report review that said the only thing that works well in the car is the AC. The engine was powerful enough to pull a lawnmower and the sluggishness made this car unsafe to drive on the highway. The third row seat is pretty much a scam as nobody can fit back there. I would feel I was endangering children back there as well. Oh, and the fuel economy in my experience is also BS. I never got beyond 27mpg and that was five hours on the highway. Around town it is no better than a highlander or pilot. The sacrifices are too many not to step up to a real vehicle.....unless you're broke and don't mind driving something this ugly.

Horrific A/C, Cooling; Poor Delivery

Can't recall having these issues with any previous import. To start with somehow the dealer delivered the car with all four tires over-inflated at 45 PSI pressure. The SUV was all over the road as you can imagine and had an extremely hard ride over bumps. Since this was my first car with TPMS, unfortunately I never thought to check the tire pressure. The TPMS it turns out only monitors for under pressure tires, not over. As a result I didn't realize there was a problem for 3 months. On research I learned that some foreign manufacturers over-inflate to guarantee that the tires will not go flat in transit, and it's the dealer's responsibility to set them correctly on delivery. But I think more likely this dealer prep guy had a brain freeze and over-set the pressure. I just wonder how many other cars they sent out on the road in this dangerous condition? That was the first problem. The dealer corrected the tire pressure, inspected the chasis and had to reset the wheel alignment. The 2nd problem, was the odor of coolant around the front of the vehicle when it gets hot. It could be smelled from up to 15 - 20 feet. This went on for more than a year. At this time the odor can be smelled from very close to the front of the car. The 3rd problem is the most serious. When the ambient temperature is 95 or greater, and when the vehicle comes to a stop at a traffic light at idle, the A/C starts blowing HOT air. At other times when the outside temperature is 85 and after a half hour or more of driving in the midday heat, the same problem occurs, at idle the A/C starts blowing HOT air. In both cases as soon as vehicle motion starts, A/C is restored. The dealer has not been able to duplicate the conditions for the A/C failure, so as yet no resolution of this problem. I called a Mitsubishi dealer in St. Petersburg, Fl. after a hot spell. They reported no issues with vehicles coming in for this condition. Finally to be fair I should note that I got a very good price on this vehicle with a 6 year no interest loan from Mitsubishi.

Shouldn't have bought this SUV

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.
