This is my second car from Mitsubishi. My first was the 2014 Mirage. This is an upgrade leap frog years from what i had. the vehicle picks up speed from a standstill like a jag, leaving other vehicles in it's dust. The ride is smooth, handles well, downshifts like a race car, sound system is boss, beautiful 18 alloy rims, no need to get after market's there. The look of the car is sexy, the grill reminds me of something from the Transformers. Get this car! you can't go wrong!

I was looking for a car to replace my 2009 MB E350. This is basically a company car that I use for work. I love it but the maintenance cost is brutal. The higher ups got tired of the expenses and ordered me to get a new car. I actually picked a Mazda CX-5 and was ready to get the papers when I walked by the Outlander...... It sounds weird but it felt good to be next to it and I just had to test drive it! Needless to say, I completely forgot the Mazda and bought the Mitsubishi Outlander SEL! I brought my "Navy Mitsu" home the next day and love it! ------------------- Well, after driving the car now for over a month and adding over a couple thousand miles.....the gas is great, savings galore since it uses regular instead of 93. Pick up is a little slow but it is a 4 cylinder. The 2nd row seats are ok, mind you, my son is 6'5" and it is a little hard for him. The 3rd row is a little useless so I just keep it down. Overall, I do miss the luxury of my MB but this is worth the money because it gets you where you want to go and the gas economy is great, and the drive is smoother than you would think.

2023 update, car is still running like new. No problem at all. Just oil changes. Put in new set of tire and battery a few months ago. Original brake pads are still good.

It is too bad this SUV is often overlooked. You'd think Mitsubishi spit in the face at all the reviewers at one time or another for them to raise such an eyebrow on this vehicle. Edmunds rates it a C. This vehicle is B+ at the least. Edmunds claims the interior quality is cheap, but it is really no worse (better in my opinion) than many competitors that I drove. Get into a Honda CRV and see how much racket you can make with your fingernails on the abundance of plastic haunting the dash, and then get in here and you tell me what you see and feel. The AWD system is fantastic, one winter down with it and it absolutely crushes anything (within reason, of course) you throw at it. Gas mileage is average, but pleasant for the size. Acceleration is good, with the 4 cylinder I noticed if you do have a few people in the car it will feel a bit groggy. However, for everyday driving it should be more than adequate to the average person. Safety was a huge plus for me here too. Overall, I have 12,000 miles on it, have been driving it for over a year and no trouble yet. Props to Mitsubishi! With the pricepoint and warranty toppling anything else that's out there, you owe it to yourself to drive one.

I needed a car with a third row for occasional use by young children (depending on how many kids I'm commuting with). The car needed to be not huge -- something I can comfortably drive in traffic and park in tight spots. I was happy with my venerable stick-shift Ford Focus, but it's now too small. (At first I really wanted to get the 2014 Mazda5 6-speed manual, but crash test scores made me reconsider.) After deciding that the Acura MDX was too expensive and the Dodge Journey a bit too bulky, I considered the Outlander along with the Nissan Rogue and the Kia Sorento. Here's why I picked Outlander: - Adding the 3rd row in the Rogue (family package) or 4-cyl Sorento (convenience package) adds roughly $1K to MSRP and rules out leather. Maybe it's standard on the V6 Sorento. The cloth on the Sorento is very sturdy, the Rogue and the Outlander pretty basic. All the third rows are small (and fold away), but the Rogue's was extra small with very little vertical leg room (so knees go up). The Outlander's third row is maybe slightly smaller than the Sorento's (but standard). - The warranty is better than Nissan (5 yrs > 3) and on par with Kia (slight edge to Mitsubishi on roadside assistance) - During the test drive, the Outlander delivered comparable acceleration with less CVT screaming than the Rogue. Power and handling seemed comparable to the base Sorento, but with somewhat less snap around center steering. The Sorento also offers a turbo 4-cyl but without third row seat (sigh). - It's just a good looking car. I really liked the "cosmic blue" and the "quartz brown." The Sorento has a nice "dark cherry" though. - Better standard sound system with HD radio. - If you like 4WD, it has selectable active 4WD vs the passive AWD I believe you get on the Rogue and Outlander. I'm just leaving it on "eco" until it snows or something. Here's how Mitsubishi could make me like the Outlander even more: - One-push turn signal for lane changes (see the Sorento) - Make auto on/off headlights standard (currently only with safety package or GT trim, I believe) - There's a lot of empty space under the hood. Maybe this space is used by the GT model, or by right-hand steering on Japanese versions? Maybe it could be shifted for greater front leg room. - Provide a non-CVT option (below GT trim) - It was hard to find an SEL trim with FWD. I wound up getting a 4WD I didn't really need just due to pricing and inventory. - At least with Kia and Nissan you get final assembly in USA. Mitsubishi just closed its only USA factory. It's definitely bigger than what I drove before, but the kids and I enjoy it. We were saving up for it, so I paid cash (there's a cash back incentive or zero APR, but not both -- also a nice military rebate) and still had a little left over for their college savings!
