At first, I thought I could not afford this car...I stopped in to take a test drive...and i was super impressed with all the awesome features! I compared and test drove other models like Chevrolet Trax and Ford Edge. The superior fuel economy and drive train warranty helped seal the deal. I have had the chance to drive it in off road conditions as well....very smart handling. The passenger capability of handling my whole family and all our luggage, and snacks while we went on vacation without sacrificing any comfort was probably what impressed me the most. The basic car also has the high end features like blue tooth built in. The seats are nice, but i would have recommended the rear seats be adjustable as well. On long drives...i can get 30 to 34 mpg driving the speed limit which is like 60 to 65 mph.

8 Year update After 8 years and 81,000 miles, we are still very happy with our Outlander, other than regular oil changes we have only replaced the tires at 55k miles, brakes at 70k miles and most recently (on year 7) the battery, it is still running great. A very good, reliable and low maintenance vehicle. The value for money in this SUV is incredible. Pro’s where to start? Road visibility is great, the safety features are also awesome, super All Wheel Control is impressive and you really feel confident driving on snow or mud great on fuel, apple car play work's great, this is top safety pick and you really feel it when driving it, huge warranty with roadside assistance, you have a very decent cargo space with the 3rd row folded down but if for a reason you have to transport 7 passengers it is good to know that you have that possibility this is a efficient family hauler, not a sports car,. We are getting 29 – 31 MPG. The CVT transmission is not designed for aggressive drivers, but for those who drive sensibly. I can't believe I don't see more on the road, for the $$ hard to beat... Highly recommended SUV

Our Outlander is now at 78,000 and apart from regular routine maintenance, all it has needed is rear brake pads and one map light. It has been perfectly reliable and exceedingly practical. Its 4 cylinder engine is naturally aspirated and has no turbo to break, and it’s matched to a CVT transmission that uses its power wisely. While its engine is no powerhouse, it’s peppy and has no problem keeping up on the highway. Thanks to the CVT it also gets surprisingly good fuel economy—often 32 mpgs on the highway. The AWD is amazing in the snow! Unlike most rivals it comes with an AWD lock feature much like a 4x4. So it doesn’t wait for a wheel to slip before sending it power, it has full traction at all times. It is also comfortable on long trips. We liked that it has less engine noise and more forgiving suspension than the Rav4, the other vehicle we considered buying. The seats are not overly wide but they are comfortable and supportive. For negatives, bluetooth phone calls come out of a speaker on the right side. Perhaps the system was designed for right hand drive vehicles sold in the UK? But it works well enough if you turn the volume up! The harder you step on the gas while merging on the highway also makes the CVT transmission rev the engine up high. This puts the engine into its powerband, and it does make it supply power for merging, but it also makes a usually quiet engine much louder. Once we learned that it just does this to give oomph when we needed it, it was easy to get used to. The Jatco CVT in earlier CVTs gets a bad rap, but this is a newer “CVT8” that has supposedly been improved. Nissan uses the same transmission in the heavier Murano and mates it to a much more powerful V6. If it can take that, with the Outlander’s lower weight and less powerful engine it should last forever with regular oil changes. Websites that track car complaints echo this as there are almost no transmission complaints for this and newer years unlike many of its rivals. I sometimes wish we had purchased the Outlander GT with the V6 for greater towing capacity, but with the current price of gas I’m glad we got this one. It’s perfect for 95 percent of what we want and 100 percent of what we need.

A Hidden Japanese Secret!

5 Stars in Reliability, Dependability, Safety, Performance, Design, Warranty, Features and Price. Nissan are part owners of Mitsubishi and they revised this car for 2016. It has the same transmission as the Rogue made by JATCO. It has a Japanese Engine built and made in Japan. The top 4 cylinder model has the power like of a V6 when mated to the most up to date new generation CVT transmission. It has a 10 YR\100K Mile Powertrain ,5 YR\60K Mile New Vehicle Limited, 7 YR\100K Mile Anti-corrosion Warranty and a 5 YR\Unlimited Mile Roadside Assistance Warranty. It has received a 5 Star IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus Crash test award in all categories. The Super All-Wheel Control AWD can almost handle any terrain capable for it's design and has auto sensing capabilities with 8.5 inches of clearance. The top luxury 4 cylinder SEL model has options and features at a very affordable price as a new or used car. This is a dream car. My wife loves this car. I had a chance to drive 3 hours from the NJ dealer to NY and it was really fun to drive. The Outlander 4 cylinder feels like a V6 and I have driven a V6 for a long time and you can't tell the difference at times. The engine is quiet at drive, but when accelerating to get speed it revs just like any other engine and goes quiet. The CVT almost feels like driving an electric motor with it's acceleration without hard shift points. This car is also a 7 Seater which the seats are adjustable to the passengers who are sitting in it by adjusting and sliding the 2nd row seats forward or back to get the extra leg room. The car is never boring to look at and would look similar to a Lexus when the badge is removed. The Outlander has also won the award for winning design concept by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. I love the center console design on the 2017 models and above which makes the cabin upscale with an electric parking brake. There is a spare tire located underneath the trunk area outside of the car. This vehicle is truly a value and getting popular as we speak. Just look at the user reviews on every website and you will see that this car is a hidden treasure to own. We love this car. - Model - 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL with Premium Package.
