This is as honest as a car gets. There's no flashy advertising, no crazy hamsters driving it around, you get the picture. I bought this when we traded in our 2011 GMC Terrain. Our Terrain was loaded to the gills with options but it was becoming unreliable. We got the Outlander SEL with AWD and the safety package which comes with rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, adaptive cruise and collision mitigation. I was surprised when we were shopping to learn that this was a top safety pick, so we gave it a shot. So far it has been great in this Buffalo winter and has had no issues in the slop that populates the roadway this time of year. No heavy snow yet but I'm confident this will be fine. The rear seat fits both our car seats with ease and I don't have to have my seat all the way forward for them to be comfortable (I'm 6'4"). The passenger seat could use some more room for us tall folk but that seems to be the norm for this segment. The warranty can't be beaten since it's bumper to bumper for 60k for 5 years and it includes free roadside during that time as well. The financing options are very good also. We have average credit and were able to get 3.5% for 65 months with the option to turn the car in at 48 months with 60k miles and just walk away. (We had some negative equity on the GMC) So if you're sitting there thinking you can't afford a new car, you really can and it will be worth it to have a warranty for 60k miles. Overall you can't beat what you get for the money with this car. If you're in the market for a crossover that gets decent gas mileage, take another look at Mitsubishi. You'll be surprised what you find.

Great Improvements from the previous year model!

I owned a 7 seater Outlander 2014 before. When I did a test drive of the 2016 model, I was quite surprised to see the improvements that Mistubishi made in the 2016 model. I've noticed a considerable reduction in outside noise and vibration. They’ve made significant improvements to the performance of the vehicle as well. 2014 Outlander lacked the responsiveness you’d expect when you press the gas pedal. Mitsubishi addressed this issue and new model is much more responsive compared to the previous year models. Ride comfort is also better. Although not significant, improvements to the interior and the steering wheel are also adding to the overall improved appearance of the interior. 2016 Outlander is fun to drive. Although the the third row seats are not ideal for adults, it serves its purpose when we have to occasionally transport 7 people in a single car. I’d say there is room for more improvements. However, this is definitely a step in the right direction for Mitsubishi. Hope they keep improving the Outlander to make it even better. I feel that the SE model offers a great value for the price you pay for the vehicle.

The 2016 Highlander SEL is well worth a look

I ended up trading in my Outlander since used car prices had risen and I knew I could get more for my car. In the 97,000 miles I had the car. It was a very good vehicle. Only routine maintenance and a set of tires was all the money I spent on it. It ran great and was a comfortable ride. The Rockford Fosgate sound system was top notch too. I never had any annoying squeaks or rattles which attests to the build quality. I did not buy another Mitsubishi, but I would if it fit my needs. This time around I no longer needed a 3rd row and I wanted something with a bit more pep. Had the eclipse offered something in the 250+ HP I would of considered it.

I have owned three Subaru's and one Honda SUV prior to owing this my Outlander. I must tell you that the critics must not know anything at all based on what they have to say about the Outlander. The Outlander is of high quality, drives and rides well, attractive and has tons of luxury like features. I will likely never buy another Subaru based on how much better the Mitsubishi Outlander is when compared to the Subaru Tribeca.

First off - I have never reviewed a car on edmunds before but I want buyers to do justice to this car before coming to any conclusions based on the edmunds expert review. This is not a luxury car but gives a near luxury feel based on features provided. Safety test results are at the top most tier - IIHS top pick + also A sub 30K car that gives you forward collision warning , lane departure warning amongst other features is a no brainier. Most Japanese and German cars have this only on highest end models that are easily 40-45k plus. Mitsubishi has a best in class warranty. A practical 7 seater with excellent mileage & sufficient acceleration. *** Updated April 2017***** Still Going strong with 20k miles. No issues so far. Mileage has improved. Good all weather traction.. have driven in all conditions - rain slow ice ... Mileage is phenomenal for a 7 seater SUV 25 - 27 MPG. With the aditional safety features like lane departure warning and auto braking / radar cruise control - the pricing is a steal
