2017 SEL Outlander. 5 years with over 74k miles on snow, ice, mountains, desert, extreme heat and cold and runs like new. In first year of ownership repaired squeaky back cushion of driver seat and about it, just regular oil change and onetime brake pads. Knock on the wood...

WATCH OUT FOR LEMON & POOR CVT Outlander. Bought new 2017 Model 4cyl in Jan 2018, had first transmission removal around 4300 miles. Engine Oil leaked through CVT torque convertor area. Same problem kept happen within 3000 miles range, Lemon lawsuit case filed and still waiting for anything from Mitsubishi. 10yr / 100000 miles Powertrain warrenty does not cover 100% for this matter. Luckily my bumper to bumper covered those issues.

The "Bluetooth" is garbage for phone calls. Calls are directed to passenger door speaker by floor. Can't hear clearly w/out being totally distracted. Do NOT put package or passenger leg in front of speaker, def won't hear anything. This is the most ridiculous design ever created by an auto manufacturer. Why hasn't anyone else complain. The customer service reps at Mitsubishi NA even agree that it's stupid. Yet Mitsubishi claims they did it on purpose..... Someone has to come up w/ a fix. If you have to pull over to make/take a call safely, what's the point of Bluetooth???

i've owned two (both V6 models...bought brand new from their dealers..2016 and 2017). reliability is horrible...i though "made in japan" is the way to go....but to my surprise it's been very bad. Components failing, assembly issues, poor design. I lost the brakes while driving ...pretty scary. ABS pump was leaking and took air into the brake system....brakes got soft out of nowhere. Brake fluid leaked all over the engine bay and sub frame....peeled off all the paint. Took alot to get brakes fixed but all paint damage was ignored=rust. Mirror broke, interior parts started squeaking and rattling (no offroad driving). All doors started getting stuck or misaligned. Too many issues to describe. Based on my experience dealing with Mitsu USA(from local dealers to corporate), the company has such a small foot print in the states that they don't quite have the financial resources to back up their flashy warranties (10 years)...and that comes through in all the dealings a customer would have with them....from the sale staff, to financing to service and warranty claims....to the quality of the product itself. At all steps , you feel like you're dealing with a mom/pop business....very low grade....as if the company can't afford any better. As far as warranty and repairs, if it is not a minor issue, they do not even what to hear about it. So between a subpar product and crappy service, one should look else where. I live in a large city and the local dealer has one service rep and one mechanic. Imagine having to have major repairs done there. i wanted something different than the usual honda and toyota....but i found out first hand why this brand is almost disappearing from this market....their products are not in the same league as the ones from the other more famous manufacturers...yet pricing is similar even after discount. I wanted reliability...i did not get it...not even close. Other details on this car: in city driving, i was never able to average above 15 mpgs (on either v6 cars) ...driving with EXTREME light acceleration. I used regular gas (87) after testing the car for a few months with premium....no difference in acceleration or fuel economy (or any improvement in engine harshness). I believe under a heavier foot, the car would burn gas even more. Winter times (miami) with ac off , fuel economy 15 or worse. Cruising on highway....19.5 to 20 mpg average (with or without cruise control). I've had one car for 15000 miles and the other one currently has 25000 miles..neither has ever seen average fuel economy better than 20 mpg....EVER....regardless of gas used, eco mode or not, ac on or not. i've had oil changed on average every 3000 miles (every time i was in the shop with issues)....did not make a difference on fuel economy. V6 is very slow unless...you shift gears manually and almost floor it....than is pretty fast and sounds much better than any 4 cyl. Transmission is tuned for fuel economy...and engine is low in torque. No vents in rear seats is a huge issue in south florida even with ultra dark tints. Interior is quiet if you keep it under 80 mph.....large side mirrors get noisy at high speed. Suspension is very floaty....80 mph cruise on a highway requires constant steering adjustments...car bounces and shifts weight around making it difficult to keep in lane..at speed car requires your full attention...tall , narrow and floaty. Long highway drives are tiresome for that reason. Suspension set up is good in the city... soaks up bumps ok at low speed. Sound system is pretty great...more quantity than quality but for the price is pretty good. Sound system is what sold me the car (also good financing terms). Both V6 cars had a weird "hesitation" at idle when at a stop light....as if the engine was choking....though it was a defect with the car, but both of them did it , regularly. Idle at 600-700 rpms than followed by a sudden drop of a few hundred rpms...jolts the entire car...as if the engine stalled for a second. This was extremely frequent....in both cars...all the time. Engine would never stop so i learned to live with it. Did it just the same when running the recommended premium gas. there were lots of recalls with the car but that's with all brands nowadays...just an inconvenience having the car in the shop for days. From a technology point of view, the car is years behind the competition...engine performance, fuel economy, handling, active safety. Active safety in this car is just a marketing tool....they don't really work...just little trinkets added to an aging car...not really well integrated into the car's systems. Thirsty v6 under powered ..rear brake pad replacement require dealer tool...$450 pads/rotors. Timing belt replacement at 100 000 miles..$1200. Depreciation is crazy....lease if you must.
