I purchased the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL trim with the SAWC. It's a 4 cyl, and that part of the deal makes the vehicle light on performance. It's got this grind when taking off from a dead stop if you're on the gas, and in my honest opinion its just slow. The vehicle does offer a lot of bang for the buck, but not in the performance department. It is a stylish vehicle and i like that. The tech is outstanding! You'd pay a lot more cash for many of the standard options that come with the vehicle. If I had to do it over again I would not buy the 4 cly, I'd get the V6 hands down which is about 4-5G more. That may have come down some since I purchased mine back in December 2016. Oh, the paint is another problem. You will get paint chips when you first hit the road. I have the cosmic blue and the paint chipping stands out like a soar thumb. I plan to buy the hood protector, but Mitsubishi could have done a much better job with the paint coat, at least for the hood area. Trust me that issue really ticks me off. Like others have commented it is a very nice vehicle for the money, but look around before you buy this vehicle. I would recommend the vehicle to anyone is looking for nice standards, reasonable cost, outstanding warranty and a great stereo system this car get's five stars in those categories. Mostly everything else is about middle of the road, and performance is not great.

It is a amazing what this car offer you for a less money. Pure luxury. Brown color with beige leather inside. Power everything. Many, many features that you can just dream about. My favorite : 7.0" Smartphone LDAS with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, FAST-kay, Blind Spot Warning with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist, Amazing 710 w Rockford Costs Audio System, Power Glass Sunroof, Power Remote Liftgate, Windshield Wiper De-icer...... Excellent driving performance, the best AWD system, the best safety features. I really enjoy driving this car. The best varanty in car industry gives you peace of mind....

Update** I have owned my Outlander now for over two and a half years and I still LOVE it!!! I would absolutely buy another one and was tempted with a 2020 at the Mistubishi dealer! Ha! The one thing I thought it really needed was AC/Heat control in the back seat and they have actually added it now! We drive to NC quite a bit and back from CT and it is a breeze! So comfortable- Cannot wait until I can get a newer one! And then maybe I will have two! Or get the Eclipse Cross! I absolutely love my car! I purchased it at the end of November 2017. It's only been two months but I feel like I drive a luxury vehicle for almost half the price!! The dealership is outstanding! I had a leased Mazda CX-5 and the Outlander blows it away! And I pay $15 more a month and I own it! I liked the Mazda CX-9 but never drove it as I was not paying almost 50k for a car. I stumbled upon the Outlander and I was very pleasantly surprised! Yes the third row is only really for kids. I had to sit back there once but we didn't pull the middle seat up. If we had, I think I would have been fine. And the acceleration is great. Don't listen to that review. It has a sport mode. If you want an extra kick just push it over to your "S" mode! It has great pick up with this mode. So so many features. I have the premium package but basic comes with pretty good features. The car even has snow mode for the SAWD and lock mode for more blizzard conditions, Apple car play, leather. It's endless!!! Don't be fooled by Mazda when they say they are the only ones with blind spot monitoring because the Outlander has it. The safety features and warnings are awesome! The side mirrors fold in - press a button if you want to do it when you park or it does it when you lock it. It's crazy!!! Sticker was 30k. I had some negative equity and I literally financed 29k. Absolutely do not look past this SUV! Even if your dealer is a little far away. It is totally worth it for only two - yes two oil changes per year!!! A++ now go buy it!

I agree; do not listen to paid "expert" reviews.

Just bought mine last night; traded out of a 2017 Jetta S and what a difference! Frankly, I wanted the Outlander first but got a better deal on the VW; however, a good deal is not that good if you can't live with the car daily. We needed something bigger for road trips and box store runs that would fit a family of 4 and 2 dogs. After 3 days (2 night test drive included) we are over the moon, as they say. Had I listened to any number of negative reviews, rather than reading actual, real world owner reviews, we would have paid several thousand more for much less vehicle. The pros are awesome MPG (averaging over 35 combined, but I drive to keep the tree green), lengthy standard features list (especially in SEL trim, which is why it we chose it over a cheaper SE), comfort (front seats, ride, NVH; my 7 mile old Jetta already had a nasty rattle in the driver's door that no dealer could fix), great ingress and egress, very good infotainment system (base system rocks; IMO not worth upgrading to the optional system), easily garage -able and very good value for the dollar. The cons are mostly nit-picking; that smaller size limits interior space. However, we bought it knowing that 3rd row was not going to be used, and needed more space than the Sport model had (Sport also cannot tow, and we need that capability). It lacks all the current active safety features, which are included only in an expensive package. At least BSM and RCW should be standard. The camera lines do not turn unless, again, you upgrade to that expensive package, which included 360 surround. You have to take your eyes off the road to scroll through SXM folders as the wheel control will only scroll through what's on the current folder. Finally, there needs to be more info available in the dash. Even basic vehicles these days come with a minimal TFT screen, and it would be nice to see what's playing on the radio or what speed my CC is set at. Overall, as another review said, this is an undiscovered gem in a crowded market. I'm hopeful the Nissan really infuses some cash into this brand, and can't wait to see what the next gen will look like (though it will, most likely, also compete in a higher price bracket, taking another affordable option off the market).

I have had CRV EX-L , Legacy sedan, Toyota 4-runner Limited, and now the 2017 Outlander GT. Pound for pound it wins hands down.. Great ride, smooth engine, 24-31 mpg depending on the type of driving. Do not listen to those asinine reviews stating how it doesn't stop like a M-5 Bimmer, handles softer than Corvette etc. They are correct because it is just a very nice, smooth, nice handling and quiet underrated SUV. My wife has a Lexus GS-350 AWD and believe me she loves driving this Outlander. Couldn't get her in the 4-runner only under duress. The only thing I don't like is the power lift gate. I've on 20K on it and still can't get used to it. Acts like it has a mind of it's own. As soon as the warranty is gone I most likely get another GT. It is well worth it. Remember it's built in Japan so the quality is there!
