I recently bought the MITSU Outlander and it proved to be a great car. The GT was outstanding and it has some technology that the Toyota Highlander and Honda CRV does not have!! Plus it comes standard with the Rockford Fosgate sound system which sounds great!

I recently posted the following review on another site: This review subject to revision as time passes, of course, especially since I only took possession in October of 2016 and only have a little over 2,100 miles on the odometer. I looked at a LOT of similar vehicles before making the purchase, read a ton of reviews and took a couple of test drives as well before I plunked down the dough for the GT version (no extra add-ons, but I'll get into that later). This Mitsu provides very good ground clearance and real 4wd for those occasions when my business travel takes me off the pavement. So far, I've only needed the 4wd once and it extricated me from a severe mud-hole where awd would have had difficulty. Visibility from the driver's seat is very good in all directions. At first, I thought the seats somewhat uncomfortable, but now I don't. Dash controls are configured effectively but I'm still finding new "stuff". The radio sounds good, really good, but I'm not sure I am benefiting from nine speakers. I do worry about the big woofer in the back hatch area getting damaged, and I may try to figure some sort of grill guard to employ. I do appreciate that I have the option of both key and keyless operation, for both starting the vehicle and opening the doors. There's a lot of room inside this vehicle, especially when the rear seats are down (easily done). Several rear-seat passengers have said they are quite comfortable and like the options of both reclining and seat travel (although the seats don't really move that much). This is not a heavy vehicle so all the road cracks and bumps aren't soaked up by the suspension and soundproofing, but all-in-all a pleasant drive. As for the driving experience, let me just say it's enjoyable. The little V6 hums along nicely and quietly and propels the vehicle as fast as I need it to. The handling is crisp and the vehicle holds the road well. I'm not the type that worries about 0-60 acceleration stuff, but this Outlander has no problem merging into traffic on expressways and interstates. I feel safe. Mileage so far has averaged 29 mpg during some long hauls, but only 25 mpg during mixed local use. The owner's manual recommends premium fuel, but all I've put in the tank has been regular. One matter I am having trouble adjusting to are the LED lights; I just don't like the curtain effect that is projected into the darkness. The Outlander provides the driver with the ability to easily adjust the beam angle, and that has helped a little. Of course, the whole world is lit up when the high beams are on. As already mentioned, this vehicle comes well-equipped, and in some ways with more features than I really needed or wanted. Nonetheless, I did add an oem bug/stone deflector (that does actually work), and also, a set of oem mud guards (that don't do a very effective job at minimizing wheel spray onto the body). I will also be adding some 3M protective film on the tailgate ledge as well as on the door sills and door edges to help minimize scrapes and chips. Mitsubishi should have included these four items as standard. Many of the vehicles I examined fell short when comparing my needs and wants. Several had deceptive ground clearance specs; some vehicles had protruding air dams, front bumpers or exhaust components just waiting to get snagged and torn-off. Other vehicles claimed good ground clearance, but didn't truthfully say whether it was "maximum" or "minimum". In my opinion, the Outlander stacked-up well to other similar vehicles, and in many areas, better, especially when considering the out-the-door price and warranty coverage. True, many of the reviews, especially those by the so-called "experts" minimized or trashed this vehicle. However, most actual buyers/owners/users provided favorable reviews, and, I intend to agree with them. This Outlander replaced an amazing Isuzu Trooper that gave me 260,000 miles of reliable service. If Isuzu was still selling a Trooper-type vehicle in the USA, I would probably be driving a new one. I'm hoping the Outlander proves a reliable successor. As of now, I’m enjoying this new vehicle and becoming more comfortable with it as the miles roll along. I believe, like the Trooper, it will provide me with good value. Maybe another update down the road??

seriously, nice value for the dollar. I needed a comfortable, good sized people mover and because i commute a TON, i needed something decent on gas and affordable (not expecting any car to last too long w/ my mileage). purchased a used GT and love it. granted it's neither; the fastest, best handling, largest, best MPG, but it's certainly a nice in the middle of everything on the market. Car looks decent, I purchased the GT as i wanted to tow a small trailer and expect to fill the car w/ people so it's nice to have the additional capacity to carry. I get in eco mode and in std AWC 4w drive about 25-27mpg on the highway. One thing to note, the vehicle i purchased was built in Japan, not expecting any large defects, but one thing is the paint tends to be a little thin, so i'm accumulating a few nicks, scratches etc. other than that, the leather interior, sunroof and electronics are all pleasing to me and the car has nice exterior lines. If you're coming from a high end vehicle down, you'll notice a somewhat stiffer ride and sway at speed around corners, but you'll also enjoy spending about 10-15K less. Doubtful i'd purchase the vehicle brand new, but that's just due to depreciation and value for any car. don't listen to the experts, drive the thing!

Just to be clear, I needed a car with these specifications and price point ... It was NEVER on my want list. However, having said that, I bought this Mitsubishi Outlander GT because: 1. It has a traditional 6 speed automatic, NOT a CVT (Contiunously Variable Torture). 2). A very reliable and time tested V6. 3). A squared-off cargo area that actually has very useful space ... in my case for 2 dog crates 4). Easy entry and exit ... dealing with transporting senior citizens 5). AWD .. a surprisingly sophisticated system with different mode selection 6). Best in class ground clearance 7). Hill holding feature (awesome for urban areas with hills!) 7). EXCELLENT headlight system 8). EXCELLENT sound system and seamless handsfree connection with iPhone 8). EXCELLENT seat heaters . However, even the best vehicles have some CONS. These are the things I don't like about the vehicle 1). Very finicky automatic liftgate actuation ... on multiple occassions it baulks opening ... especially with key fob ... very annoying and has a lock out feature if you make too many attempts ... MITSUBISHI, please make this feature more user friendly 2). As for handling .... at least for me, there is too much body roll/bobbing on country roads. I know I did not buy an Audi or BMW, but tighter handling would be better. OVERALL - I give this vehicle very high marks and is a great VALUE. I will keep for a very long tme.

Had this car for about a month now . May be it's too early to comment on many aspects of ownership,reliability and performance . It's under rated car with consumer reports . But feel that way . It's just like any other small SUV. Initial impression is-it's a honest car . Drives well and the GT has a satisfying performance . Good price too . Prefer to avoid the 2.4 l as drove the 2.4 L and V6 3 L back to back and the difference was apparent . The features , driving experience and price were deciding factors in the purchase . 3 Rd row seats are a joke . Am quite happy and it's 100% made in Japan .
