Honest Little Family Car

*Updated Feb 2024* This continues to be our daily family car. The only major problem it has had was a leaking AC condenser in 2022. An independent mechanic was able to replace the bad part in a few hours and recharge the system. We bought this brand new and besides the AC repair all we've done is basic maintenance, tires, batteries, recalls, etc. It still feels tight and solid, at over 80k miles now and none of the squeaks and rattles are present that you'd expect in a "budget" car. Seriously, I've gotten in rentals lately that weren't holding up as well as this has! It has always had plenty of room for us, though we aren't overweight or overly large. The CVT has held up well and we've come to appreciate it in city driving, which is where it excels. We have kept up on the fluid changes for it. The 2.4 liter engine feels more powerful than it's ratings would suggest, probably due to excellent programming on the transmission. Mitsubishi engineers have always been so good at the basics! Our fuel mileage has averaged 20-23 city and 26-30 highway, depending on speed and conditions. Only gripes have been the really bad OEM tires and the thin paint that chips and scratches super easily. I used to joke that we got the Copper color so the rust on the chips would blend in, but so far it has refused to rust! An excellent set of tires goes a long way on this, don't skimp out on rubber. Summary: If you need a family car that can do a little bit of everything and take a beating, this is it. If you're reading this today, I'm assuming you are in the used market and I would wager these are good bets for the money, assuming the oil and filters have been changed. This is the car most people would say they really want but they buy something else instead that ends up costing a lot more money. I can't stress enough how much of a disservice the "automotive journalist" set have done to Mitsubishi. The Outlander is a fine product.

After 108000 miles the only repairs so far are for recalls.

For the money, you can't beat the SE premium package. What CUV has 3 rows of leather seats (yes the third is smaller but how often do you have 7 people in your car), moon roof, Harmon K. sound system with sub, heated seats, motorized rear hatch, 31mpg hwy, etc for less than $25k. Overall we could not be happier with our purchase. Two minor areas they can fix, front passenger leg room, just a little more, and automatic running lights and headlamps. This should not be compared to the larger 3 row SUVs. This is a CUV+ comparable to the Rogue(no leather available w 3 rows). The new 2015 design looks way better and they got rid of that horrible grill from the 2014's.

I bought this car not knowing much about it because we were in a hurry seeing as my car before this one had the transmission go out. I absolutely love this car. I get awesome fuel mileage just driving to and from work or around town, sometimes it says 27MPG or higher. I love the interior and the heated seats are amazing. The only thing I will say is that the third row seating is a waste of space. No one could fit back there even if they tried. Have not had a single problem with anything on this car. It's a smooth comfortable ride and I love all the features.

Lotta bang for your bucks 2015 SE (PREMIUM)

Aside from wanting the 4WD system with the V6, I got myself a 2015 Outander with 38k miles - 30k miles later i've only needed to replace wipers, battery, and four tires. Minor things like the low light bulbs have burnt once or twice on my right headlight. It seems to be the windshield has a certain defect after 45k miles. Smooth ride but it can get noise if it's really windy. Word to the wise treat your powerlift gate button nicely in the trunk!! The only downfall to this vehicle (at least in America) is the re-sale value - Black book is currently giving me around 9k on average condition & 1 minor accident in carfax (with specs). Stealership offered me 5G. Maybe it due to the incoming recession.. [non-permissible content removed]
