Used 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Consumer Reviews

Love my Outlander GT

Two days, nearly 1000 miles...

After driving nearly 1000 miles through heat, rain, night and day the best thing I can say is "It got us home". There were many minor but glaring faults that make me question how much road testing was done for this vehicle. Climate control was abysmal with no consistency in air temperature. It fluctuated from frigid to steamy humid constantly. Road noise was pronounced and overpowering, making long trips even more exhausting. They obviously never tested fitting a child seat in the rear because the latch clips were way too close together to get a solid mount. Cargo space was pathetic for the size of the vehicle. I fit more luggage in my Mazda 6 and nothing blocked the back window. The kids were much more crammed in this thing than in the Mazda 6 as well. You can't change the volume on the radio without brushing the touch screen and jacking up the settings. There is no auxiliary input and pairing with Bluetooth was a royal pain. The gas tank is tiny, restricting you to a maximum of 350-400 miles in perfect highway conditions. I'm glad I got to turn it in, good riddance.

This is best $$$ value by far

If you need rear AC.... Then look elsewhere. If you want a great economical safe and dependable SUV.... Then this is by far the best. The complaint about the backseat is garbage.. Truth is... All 3 rows adjust to make room. We needed 3 rows on occasion.. Gas mileage is awesome... We realize 32 mpg.... Loaded with 5 people and gear. Get the roof rack option. I didn't... And ended up buying it later. Rubber mats are necessary for black interior. 2 problems with car... 1st the sun visor lacks extension. 2nd...air vents for rear is under seats only. That's it. 21k Otd for a GREAT CAR!

more for less

Look at the specs: fuel economy, cargo volume, safety, price. Its a win for many people. SUV ratings seem to focus on bigger=better. But with this car you get almost everything a much larger SUV would have for less money, less gas, and possibly better safety, depending on the larger suv you're comparing. 3rd row seats are a game changer when you have a family of 6 or 7. Ground clearance and 4WD in a car with fuel economy this good...hard to beat. Subaru competes, but no 3rd row. Nissan has the 3rd row but no 4WD But how is the driving experience? Its not a sportscar or a Subary WRX, but its fun and comfortable, especially when compared to other cars in this price class. I look for excuses to take this car on long trips instead of the minivan. its just more fun.

Outlander - the best most underrated option

I love my 2016Outlander and get nothing but complements. The wheels are definitely more beautiful than anything comparable and it is so fun to drive around and zip around the city/region. Mine is quarts brown like a Mocha color and I love it. The car still drives sporty in eco mode and is way more economical than Toyota or Honda options for the same Japanese quality. I had a Mitsubishi Montero Sport previously in addition to my Outlander. After also owning Hondas and Nissan - I am a loyal Mitsubishi customer. People really should realize more the value of buying a Mitsubishi!
