I had a 2015 Outlander with the 2.5L engine and I needed something with a little more towing capacity so I into a used GT with the 3.0L to double my towing. I liked the 2015 but I LOVE my 2016 GT. As others have mentioned many great features for the price Sound system, 7 passenger and very versatile vehicle. I can use it as a car or tow a trailer and fuel economy ranges from 21 -24mpg for my driving. After having the v6 I will not go back to a 4cylinder. If my GT were totaled today, I would be out looking for a used one to replace it. They are kind of rare and I would drive a couple states to get one. Mine was built in Japan, has 109k miles with no issues at all. Paint is a bit thin as was mentioned. Suspension is a bit soft but not too bad. I looked into selling mine to get a truck but I can't part with it. It is the most versatile vehicle in its class. Do some reading on the S-AWC system that was designed by the off-road rally racing team and put into their passenger cars. It is an outstanding AWD system. Lastly, I am 6'4" and very large, like offensive lineman size. I fit in this car nicely. There were so few cars that I fit in without going up to a large gas guzzler and that was the deciding factor for me. Update: 0903/2023. I now have over 130k on this car and it still runs like a new vehicle. Have had 0 issues. I have towed a fair amount of things with this car. I haven't towed above the towing capacity with it but I have towed a large utility trailer with equipment on it in hills. It does just fine. It has been a workhorse for me. I used it as a truck before I had a truck.

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.

I have the 6 cylinder model, third row seating for a mid size vehicle that wasn't a mini van was my deciding factor for getting an Outlander. The V6 doesn't blow me away performance wise, but it isn't lacking for city driving anyway. Electronic steering vs power steering is different I'll say, feels nice though. Rides smooth, 4WD got me out of some sticky situations this last winter, mine has 67,xxx km on it, good value vehicle that's fuel efficient. I have the third row down when I don't have all the kids in, when they're up there's not enough room for a grocery shop in the cargo area, it's very, very cramped but for a mid sized SUV with 3rd row for this price point it does the job! I'm coming from a 2000 Silverado with a 5.3 V8 so performance comparison isn't even fair, reliability is great though I haven't even thought it would break down anytime soon leaving me stranded, don't think it ever will :)

A lot of SUV for the money. Comfortable to drive, easy on gas (30 mpg highway), great technology, excellent road handling and towing. Best overall SUV I have owned.

To bad more people have not had the chance to ride and drive the Mitsubishi Outlander. Had not paid much attention to them until a recent car show. Then we went up to look at them and fell in love with them. A great SUV. Trim and fit is first rate, quality of materials is very apparent. Great gas mileage, and stunning handling and performance. Best car you will find in its class. Car continues to be just a great car. Driving habits changed a bit, little more city routes, so mileage has dropped about .3 mgp or so. Sure c an not complain. Use regular fuel, not the premium stated for 'best performance'. One of the best buys ever done.
