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.

You get more than what you paid for

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.

Reliable, dependable, and undervalued

2015 GT Touring AWD Pros: Smooth ride/balanced handling, roomy first and second row, powerful V6, quality craftsmanship. Cons: Needs more sound insulation, no power front passenger seat, no second or third row HVAC vents, no auto-dimming rear-view mirror. (All these cons were mitigated on the 2019 model.) Purchased used in 2019 with 42K miles as a replacement for my 2004 Montero Limited (201K miles). It serves as my daily car, serviced per the normal maintenance schedule, regular gas can be used but I go with the recommended premium. Now the mileage is 91K and I haven’t had any problems. The car is easy to maneuver, and the controls are straight forward. There is quite a bit of people room too. I’m 6’2” and my son is 6’4”. Back when I had to chauffer him and his lanky friends around, four of us could fit without issue. The third row is small, and folds flat to make for more room in the cargo area. The cargo hold is spacious, has underfloor storage, and full carpeting. This car is a large compact. Sitting lower and longer than the CRV, RAV4, & CX5. I think the interior quality is on par with the competition. I'm no expert though. AWD offers four modes and even provides torque distribution for the front axle. I recommend this vehicle. Update 24July2023, mileage = 102,721 Had the major service done just before 100k because we had a roundtrip from NC to MN coming up. The service included new timing belt, water pump, air and cabin filters, spark plugs, oil change/tire rotation. Car performed well before, during and after the trip. One more con about this model year, door window switches are not illuminated. Still a great car though. Update 25January2024, mileage = 107,500 Front brakes & brake fluid replaced, engine & cabin filters changed, and oil changed since last update. Although not supple, the leather seats are holding up quite well. I wax the car and condition the leather three times per year (spring, summer, fall). Also, based on my experience, using top-tier gas helps cars run smoother and last longer. And it's very interesting how the price of top-tier is usually the same as the off-brand gasolines here in NC. Update 25July2024, mileage = 118,774 Oil change and tire rotation just performed. Discovered a few paint chips on the leading edge of the roof (where the windshield meets the roof). Covered them with touch up paint. Washed and waxed the car. One more quirk, the doors automatically unlock, but don't automatically lock. The vehicle is running great and holding up well. Update 15January2025, mileage = 123974 Wouldn't start, had car battery replaced, tires rotated, and rear brakes/rotors replaced. Update 29July2025, mileage = 132047 Had oil changed at 130k.AC stopped producing cold air around 131K miles, service shop replaced the hoses and charged the system; that fixed it. Time for new tires the next time we have it serviced.

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.
