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.

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!

The third seat is difficult for children of any age to get into. The seat belts are impossible for 5 year olds to get on by themselves and impossible to reach from outside the car! There are no charging ports Back there and the cup holder is only on one side. The 7th seat belt is a joke. The paint is a very low quality, it has already chipped all over the hood, my car is 6 months old now but i noticed it 2 week's after purchasing. I emailed the salesman, he did not respond, went in to talk to them but they pawned me off on a manager that acted like it was normal, it's not. So disappointed! Still underwhelmed with this vehicle, there are no air vents in the back this should NOT be a buyable option but a requirement!!! Plastic pieces broken or missing, keep in mind this vehicle is primarily used by 2 adults and our grandchildren every other weekend so, not even normal wear and tear of a family that would use it daily. On a positive note it still runs very well. In addition to the above, now 1 years since purchase the paint on the car looks like I have owned it for 5 or more years and I don't know the point of adding these comments because NOBODY cares if they did someone would have contacted me by now to see how to resolve my issues with the paint. Why should I have to figure out where to get the money to repaint my car when it is barely 1 year old??? Why wouldn't the dealer (Firkins in Bradenton, FL) care about my comments regarding their lack of interest in looking into the paint issue??? I buy a new car every 3 or 4 years but I won't buy this one again and I definitely won't get it from Firkins!!! Almost 3 year update: every little plastic piece has fallen off and no matter how many times you put them back on they won't stay. The car has gotten much louder. IN FL it is already near impossible to cool a vehicle down and there is NOT 1 vent past the front seats. The paint continues to flake off the hood! 4 full years update: Mechanically the vehicle is still running very well. The paint, mainly the hood, looks terrible. I have looked at other cars of the same model and none of them looks like mine and I have never owned any other car that the paint chipped off of like this one. My grandkids are now 3, 5, 8 and 11 and the 8 and 11 year old's do not fit in the backseat which is a problem because the car seat the 3 year old is in can't go back there and 3 children DO NOT fit on the middle seat with the car seat. The interior has no plastic pieces they kept falling off and so I stopped putting them back on and some are now lost. The dealer has only since contacted me to see if I'm ready to buy another car, NOT from Firkin's in Bradenton... NEVER AGAIN!!!!
