Mitsubishi, the "diamonds" in the rough winner

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

I was extremely skeptical of this vehicle and after so much research was heading to the Honda CRV instead. My wife has a friend that is a salesperson for a Mitsubishi store and after I test drove this vehicle I was not thrilled about it --- but now that I own one, it was the best decision I ever made. This car is loaded with technology features (although I have not gotten Android Auto to work with the vehicle yet at all). I was shocked that 'Car and Driver' gave this vehicle such a low score on handling and comfort. I had a Ford Escape before this and the Outlander is extremely wonderful to drive long distance with. I read one woman's review of the back seats and granted there isn't much space back there this should not be compared to a full-size SUV. If you want a full-size SUV then pull out your wallet and pay for one and stop your griping, this car isn't presented as this. U-turns are so simple and the vehicle sips gas very slightly. This is an awesome road trip vehicle to have with the family and as a soccer coach, I find the back with plenty of space for all our gear. One of the things that steered me to Mitsubishi is that I make several trips to the Philippines and in this country, vehicle maintenance on a regular basis is scarce and yet I see Mitsubishi cars and trucks that have enormous amounts of mileage on them and they just keep running compared to their Toyota counterparts that are falling apart. I love this vehicle and it feels and looks like any of the top end SUV's out there. Get the side windows tinted and you will be happy with the look and feel of the interior too.

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Things you should know: IIHS Safety Pick with the GT model. Make sure to get the Touring Package when you get the GT model for all the safety features, such as Forward Crash Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, Cross Traffic Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The GT comes with AWD/4WD that is adjustable. Yes, it has settings for Snow and Locking the differentials, but it has an Eco mode. Eco mode decouples the rear, making the drive Front Wheel, to increase fuel economy, while allowing the AWD/4WD to engage when needed. The GT model (please note: Outlander GT I am discussing is the 7 passenger Outlander, not the sporty little "Outlander GT." ) has leather, a 710 watt surround audio system, a 3.0L V6, and a 6 speed transmission. The last 2 are the biggest difference between the GT and all other models. The CUV (oddly called a crossover, as Mitsubishi designates it as a truck) is well built, easy to drive, surprisingly quick, runs quiet, feels solid, and is fun to drive. The Things I Wish Were Better: Bigger fuel tank - range even though I get great gas mileage - is a bit short, Storage Space for the front seats is slim, No light in the Headlamp stem, Windshield Wiper stem is confusing, Side visibility is limited (mitigated by the Blindspot Warning) hard to get into 3rd row seats, and the Menu and Settings of the tech is a learning curve. None of these things are big issues. Things I like: Driving position, ease of controls, comfortable seats (all 3 rows) Heated Seats, easy to drive, the Forward Crash Mitigation is amazing to behold - works faster than you can react, the Adaptive Cruise is exceptional, everything works, and works well. Buy one if you can find it. I got mine new (60 miles on it) for $25,900 for a $35k vehicle. Excellent gas mileage (24 mixed, 32+ hwy.) Eco mode that actually works, saving fuel. Differences between the 2019 model and 2018: Tuned the suspension for better control and ride, A/C Vent for center row seat, Passenger front seat is now Power. Prices are nearly the same. I suggest get the Tour Package with the Safety Features. One drawback is there are fewer Dealerships for Mitsubishi than most major makes, though it seems they are opening more, thus the "ok" rating on dealership support. Go get one, they are excellent and a great value.

Third row is tight. Only good for small children. Lots of room when third row is down. Car seems well built. Solid chassis, no rattles. quiet cabin. Car may seem dated in design, which isn't a bad thing because it has given Mitsubishi time to fix any issues. Like the fact that the car is fully assembled in Japan and almost all parts are sourced there as well.

I traded in a 2015 Outlander Sport for the 2018 Outlander and I've really enjoyed it a lot. Drives great, lots of safety options on this model, and it had lots of room for extra stuff. I haven't found anything negative about this SUV.
