Contrary to the "expert reviews" this is a great SUV. Drives very well and all the new upgrades are great. Probably the one of the best looking SUVs in the price range. I got this vehicle for winter and the super All Wheel Control works very good. Remote start, leather heated seats, Adaptive cruise control for this price is unbelievable. Compared it to other car brands in this segment and there is so much value for the price. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, functional and stylish SUV in a budget then Outlander SEL is a perfect choice Simply love this car Santosh

I am very happy with my purchase. It feels like a luxury vehicle without the high price and it has a better waranty than a Lexus.

I'm in my 13th year in the car business and I don't work for a Mitsubishi dealer. This is the best SUV in the class. The engine and transmission are time tested and solid. Yes it's still timing belt driven but this engine is going to last!! The ride quality is smooth and quite. The upgraded Rockford Fosgate sound system is fantastic, spend some time playing with all the different sound options and find the one that sounds best with your music. Plus you get one of the best warrantys out there. Update: 2 years and 34,000 miles later and still no issues. Almost 4 years and 56,000 miles this vehicle is proving to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. I still have not had any issues at all. It still rides smooth and quiet, I did put new tires on it a couple months ago. I just purchased a 17’ center console fishing boat. It weighs about 2000 lbs and it pulls in very nice.

Looked at a lot of SUV,s Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia. I was replacing a Chevy Captiva that was almost out of warrenty. Never considered a Mitsubishi before but seen how long the warrenty was on them. After reading the critics reviews on the Mitsubishi Outlander I almost didnt consider it. I sure glad I took the time to go look at one in person and drive one. I was sold in a mile ! The Mazda was noisy and road ruff. Ford Escape was ok but didn't like rear seat room or the packages they offered for the price. Hyundai and Kia are only a good value if you buy the base ones. GM Trax was really nice but again was too small. Toyota Rav 4 was very unimpressive and pricing was very high for what you recieved and the warrenty was half as long as the Mitsubishi. Nissan, well what can I say, again high price, worst CVT transmission I drove, Lots of consumer complaints . If you go and drive the competition then drive the Mitsubishi and consider price and warrenty I think you will be driving one home like I did !! Update..Been over 6 months now and i feel the same as I did before. Great on gas, very quite, smooth ride. Family and friends that have drove it can't belive that this didnt cost over 30,000 dollars. The only thing I could say needs to be improved is the voice link system. although the sound system sound great, the link system is not, very slow, touch screen is slow, some phones blutooth will not work with it. I hope in the future they will offer a update with android auto.

Traded in in new car. Got about 60% of what I paid for it. Never had any problems or additional maintenance. Wanted ventilated seats and a 3 row hybrid so went with Lexus. Update at 62K. Running great no issues. Would like to get new Outlander but pricing is out of reach right now. Update at 49K and 4 1/2 years. Battery died a couple months ago, replaced it myself, easy job. Other than that just oil changes and car runs and runs. Took road trip recently and got 35 mpg using eco mode. It takes some getting used to running eco mode as it is more sluggish but the reward is great gas mileage for a 7 passenger SUV. May look at replacing next year. Would like more safety features like blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance. We'll see what we buy but definitely would consider another Outlander. Update at 40K. Vehicle continues to work well, no further issues. Just get in it and go. I don't know if I would go for the black leather interior again with our Texas heat. If the car has been sitting in a parking lot for a few hours it is beastly hot inside... Did replace headlight again. Tried some higher intensity bulbs but the did not shine very far ahead. They don't last long but they are easy to replace. I have several spares now. Update at 35,000 miles, still a very good vehicle. Had another recall and got that fixed. Had to replace tires and found out if you have a tire place replace the tire pressure sensors, they cannot program them. Only Mitsubishi dealer can. A $245 error on my part. The tire place said there were 2 bad sensors and charged me $60 a piece to replace them, then could not program them so dealer charged me $125 to program them and told me they would have been covered under warranty. Ouch. Runs well, gets great gas mileage and everything still works. Had to change a flat tire and everything worked flawlessly. Will keep this car for a long time if it continues to perform as it has so far. Update at 26,000 miles. Needed a few manufacturer recalls done but other than that no major problems. Did have to change a headlight that burned out. It was fairly simple. I noted that the bulbs have expected life of 150 to 175 hrs. That is not very long. I suggest buying a 2 pack to have handy. The OEM oil drain plug started leaking and I replaced with aftermarket one and that fixed the problem. If you have never driven a CVT it will take you a while to get used to it. We had a turbo charged vehicle with a 6 speed tranny before and it would really take off after the turbo lag. It takes a while to accelerate with a 4 cyl and a cvt. Other than that the car is really great. The Rockford Fosgate premium stereo system really rocks. I do wish the power lift gate was foot activated. Have not taken it on a long trip to check mileage but computer is saying around 30 mpg. Our much smaller car before would be lucky to get 23. The 3rd row seats are really only good for kids but nice to have in this size vehicle. This vehicle has been very reliable and we have taken it on long trips. Very well built. So tight you have to slam the doors to get them to close. Quality is evident.
