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.

I wasn't in the market for a car. Was looking for something for a 3rd row for my sister. The Outlander GT caught my attention because I really liked its lines. This car is like a big station wagon with some ground clearance. I'll never use the 3rd row seat, but I have a great amount of space in the back with the third row folded down. There is also lots of space for passengers in the rear seat. Just had adult friends sitting in the back, and they had at least a few inches of space between their knees and the front seats. I just drove it from Philly to Cape Cod and back, and it was a very nice ride. Back wasn't sore, plenty of power to pass, and no complaints from adults in the back seat. Also had plenty of room for luggage in the back. Only thing I noticed was that if you have to floor it to get our of a hairy situation, the engine is really loud. That happened a couple times, but overall, cruising in the left lane and merging on to the highways was done easily and quietly. I'll never use the paddle shifters, so I can't write anything about them. Visibility is great. It really feels like a station wagon inside, which I like. It drives more like a truck, which I also like. It reminds me of Jeeps and pick-ups that I've owned in the past. It's probably less carlike than its competitors. The audio system is great. I have to take the time to read the manuals to figure some stuff out, which I'll probably never do. I hope there are some overrides so I can make some changes to music or nav system while driving. A passenger was trying to do some stuff that could not be done if I wasn't in park. An Iphone was also unable to configure with the audio system while I was driving. I love the power lift-gate that can be operated with the remote. Also like the push-button start, and being able to lock/unlock doors without taking key out of my packet. I've seen reviews that say the interior looks cheap, but it looks ok to me. The fake wood is minimal, and the vented leather on the seats looks great. I do hate putting premium fuel in it, but I drive less than most people, so that didn't bother me too much. I got the car used. It was a dealer demo, and I got a really good deal on it. I would never pay the MSRP for it, but for what I payed, I think it's a great car/truck...whatever it is. Hope to have it for a long time. Going to add a remote starter, and then I'm happy as a clam. The 2016 has the power fold in mirrors. I miss having that feature. April, 2017 update. I've put about 15k miles on car, and I still like it a lot. Don't love it though. Only complaints are that there is noticeable wind noise on the highway, and it takes big bumps pretty hard, especially the rear wheels. Other than that, no complaints from me. Car has plenty of space and it's very comfortable. With seats folded flat I can jam in 15 - 20 bags of mulch. I love the stereo, and that solves the wind noise problem for me. Back seat passengers have great space. I never use the 3rd row, so there is a ton of space in the cargo area. I have the white exterior with light tan leather, and I think it looks great. Maybe kind of soccer mommish, but I like how bright it is. I got a comment the other day that it still smells like a new car. I've had no mechanical issues, and twice I've left the interior light on overnight and it still started in the morning. That really surprised me. Had one big snow storm this winter, and it got through it like a champ. October, 2021 still like the car. it's still a little loud from wind noise and ride, but it's been very reliable. my biggest connoisseur is the thin paint. I've never had a car with so many chips on hood and front bumper just from stuff getting kicked up into from highway driving. some spots are actually rusting a little bit.

Given some circumstances unique to my situation, I ended up having to purchase a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander in November. I did not set out to buy this kind of vehicle, and I did not know what I was going to be getting, but I have been very pleased with it after three months and several thousand miles. Based on my experience I would recommend this SUV to others in the market.

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.
