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!

Severely Underrated and a Tremendous Value

After much research I narrowed my choices to a Subaru Forester XT Touring and a Mitsubishi Outlander GT. They both seem to have the best AWD systems in their class. My first choice was the Subaru, especially coming from a 2013 XV Crosstrek, but I couldn't justify the additional expense over the Mitsubishi. The biggest advantages the Forester had over the Outlander were steering feel/handling and resale value. However, I prefer the Outlander's traditional 6 speed automatic over the Forester's CVT. I also find the front seats to be more comfortable. The Outlander's build and material quality is top notch. I haven't found one flaw. Engine performance is strong and the fuel economy has been surprisingly good. The ride is smooth and quiet. You really can't beat the value here for what is truly a quality vehicle with excellent safety ratings and best in class warranty coverage.

“Expert” reviews miss the point

Until a week ago I had never driven a Mistsubishi, let alone own one. After owning the 2017 Outlander SEL for a week, I think I’m a customer for life. Seriously, ignore the so called expert reviews. They point to things like acceleration and inadequacy of the engine and fuel economy. What they don’t realize is that most people aren’t using this car to drag race with. For the normal everyday family, this car can’t be beat. It’s whisper quiet, gets amazing fuel economy, and drives smoother than any car or suv I have ever owned. I don’t even know what side of the car the gas tank is on because I haven’t had to fill it up yet. It’s easily the best bang for your buck. It feels much more expensive than it is. It has awesome features like awd, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, etc. It’s also very nimble and fun to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Great Vehichle and Overlooked

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander is one of those mid-sized SUV that most overlooked. Took home a new 2017 Outlander over a week now and so far I'm very pleased with the purchase. I've had driven multiple SUV's in the past and its a must to have an AWD/4WD here in the US northeast part of the United States. One of the best decisions I've made this year has to be purchasing one of the Outlander and glad to get rid of the 2017 Jeep Cherokee only driving the vehicle just over 2 months. I did own a 2015 Highlander (great SUV, terrible in gas mileage), 2016 Crosstrek (too small and not much power) both love these SUVs but I needed something affordable and at the same time have the luxury feeling and performance of a V6. The Outlander is pretty affordable and have the looks and the "techie" stuff inside. Also, the warranty is one of the best out there with 10/100000 miles coverage. Highly recommend the Outlander to those seeking affordable and reliable SUV. The only complaint I have at this time is the 3rd row seat does not have much leg room, but if you just have more than 3 kids then that wouldn't be an issue because my sons just love to sit in the 3rd row and they seem pretty satisfied with it.
