I've had mine for 3 years with NO problems! Great mileage, up to 34.5 highway! Comfortable seating (excepting 3rd row). I have 67,000 miles on mine. Original tires still have lots of tread, paint is as good as new! Has plenty of pep! Great automobile!

I spend much time researching and test driving many vehicles before I make a purchase. I do not go for bling or big names, I go for value and reliability. My brand new off the show room floor Outlander was $7,000 + less then the 4 yr old Acadia, Durango, Explorer and Rendezvous I test drove and yet I liked it the most. Its not a race car but plenty zippy, great handling and I love that it is true 4X4!! The warranty from the specific dealer was the best I have ever heard of. Its not hyped up, but when I looked at it, drove it, and saw the price I wondered why everyone is not driving these. We drove it from MN to FL and was plenty comfortable even for my 6'4" husband. I love the versatility of the 7 passenger seating when needed, which is tight but great to have in a pinch, and you can configure the seats in many different ways to accommodate different passenger and load variations. Not only was it great value but it keeps on giving with amazing gas mileage. The resale value is not great, but I plan on driving it many many years and loving it!! 12,000 miles on it already and loved every one. I will have to check in once I reach my 100,000 mark :) 4/2020 45,000 miles and still loving this vehicle. I feel it is so under the radar and deserves so much more acknowledgment from the consumers and industry. It also helps that the dealership I purchased it from is amazing too :) Update 11/21. 70,000 miles and still in love. We drove this to Florida from Minnesota with 6 people my smaller 21 yr old daughter and 8 yr old son rode in the rear seats most of the way, I did as well. It worked perfectly. This car just keeps on giving. I am really hoping for it to continue to be reliable for years to come. So far I am still happy with my purchase.

Someone said the Outlander is better than the Cadillac. I personally think this is somewhat of a stretch but I can see how it comes in comparison. This car is amazing! I love every feature about it. I have a 2018 Limited Edition and am in love it. I do not get tired of my car, everything I see it i’m like...damn, I love my car! It can pick up speed, but gradually. You just have to learn to maneuver it, it’s got its tricks. For a standard radio system, it’s got a darn good bass and audio projection. I love that my car brings an all black paint along with the interior and the rims included. Feels luxurious as can be. I love the fact that it lets me know whenever my maintenance is due, or whenever my wheels are running low. It’s a hell of a car, I don’t know why car experts claim it to be junk. I feel as if I made the right decision when I purchased the car and for the price, it’s an awesome vehicle and I believe it can hold up to its competitors. My car is sexy, and for the 7 year warranty, who wouldn’t consider that??

LE is higher level of trim with fog lights, moon roof and rear radar. Not the slowest vehicle (2.4L) i have owned but it ok for merging on highways and scooting around. I find it fun to drive and very good on gas. Smart display a good size screen incorporates several options. Us your smart phone (USB or Bluetooth ) and you pretty much have it all! Lots of room inside and seats for 5 adults & 2kids. Ride and handling ok , to few miles on odometer to comment. When you take into account the discount the price was a big factor. Mitsubishi has been around a long time , My guess you will be happy with purchase of this Outlander. My friend Bob has the sport model. Smaller but he's very happy ! July, now have 9k on vehicle. Great SUV. Update ( Jan. 2019) traded in at one year old with 15,800 miles. No problems with car. Engine noise always caught my attention. The engine gave me no problems I always was noisier then other cars. Seem to be a lighter-weight car. The bad was trade in value was terrible!

This is our 2nd Outlander

After comparing every crossover & SUV with a 3rd row seat on everything from gas mileage to oil change cost, tire size and replacement cost, included options & more - the Outlander came out ahead. Our 1st was a 2014 SE with touring package (leather, sunroof & Rockford Fosgate audio). Drove that vehicle 55k miles in 2 years and only had to the the a/c compressor replaced. Was relaxed under warranty & was in & out of the dealership service department in a couple hours. Traded that one in on a 2016 SEL with touring pkg, leather, Rockford Fosgate audio, & appearance package (18” wheels, “ground effects” & LED fog lights). Also added the roof rack cross rails & tow package (purchase from the dealer). Have driven this vehicle 45,000 mi since Dec 2016 & not a single issue. Just replaced the tires & the only maintenance has been regular oil changes (dealer provides a $39.99 coupon for full synthetic) & air filter changes. The only 2 complaints I have about this vehicle is 1. No rear climate controls & you need to crank up the climate control fan to get almost anything out. 2. They appear to have changed something with the seats between the ‘14 & ‘16 model years because the ‘14’s seats were significantly more comfortable. The cargo space with the 3rd row up is not great, but that is why I added the roof rails & tow package. If they add rear climate controls or even rear vents & would probably continue to trade up to another Outlander in the future.
