Why the press hates these cars is beyond me

My family has bought 5 of these cars (so far) a few Outlander Sports, and I have bought 2 Outlanders myself. This is the only vehicle on the market that can seat 6 or 7 people, has all-wheel drive and gets better than 30mpg. These are the criteria I use to make a vehicle purchase. The 10 year warranty (7 years beyond everyone else's) is an awesome plus. I routinely get 32 mpg driving around coastal Maine, and the only vehicle with a better AWD system is a Range Rover (which will set you back about 3x what this thing costs!). We live in Maine, where we have ice, snow, and slush 5 months a year, and a majority of people's houses are down long, un-paved driveways. This is the only car that has yet to get itself stuck! The S-AWC system keep the thing on the road really well, and adds a significant amount of control in everyday driving. The 3rd row seat IS tight, but I can ride back there in a pinch, and my wife and my kid can do so with no issues, and it is temporary! This is not a Caravan, or a Suburban, but for the 4 or 5 times a year when we really need to carry a bunch of people it is perfect. A far bigger impact is the fuel economy, which comes into play every time you start it- there is nothing on the road (that is not an EV) that can touch this car for efficiency. If the performance/acceleration of this thing bothers you, you should buy a sports car, not a mid-sized SUV. This thing has plenty of performance unless you need to drive like a moron, I have yet to get into a drag race with a Nissan Rogue or a CR-V, and my masculinity would survive if I did. This is not the fastest car in it's class, but it is the best. Your rational choice should outweigh whatever rubrik the automotive press uses to describe this type of car. Anyone who owns one of these will sing it's praises, and that should tell you something!

Aside swop collision rolling twice

This car and my guardian angle saved my whole family. I have a family of 6 about to be a family of 7. 2 of my 4 children were in the accident. One was 1 years old in a rear facing car seat behind the driver the other a 5 year old behind the passenger. we hit another car cutting into our lane going around 70 miles per hour throwing our car into the air rolling us twice through an intersection. All the airbags deployed upon impact once we stoped rolling the car landed on its tires we hit in the passenger side leaving the front door unable to open me and my husband crawled out the front driver door quickly running to the back doors to remove our children who were extremely frightened but ALIVE! My 1 year old received bruises on her thighs and head my son cuts to neck and hips seat belt burns he was transferred from our local hospital to children’s hospital in l.a due to leaking fluid which they believe now was some internal bleeding that corrected itself no need for surgery thank god. My husband received a hand sprain and bruising and burns along his forearm and hips. I revived a broken wrist and hand seatbelt burns bruises and cuts. I am also 8 months pregnant the baby was monitored for 24 hours and has shown no signs of distress and no detachment from placenta. We were all wearing our seat belts I believe the combination of seat belts this cars saftey rating and a miracle saved my family’s life the fact that we walked away from this with such minor injuries blows my mind and also the doctors I would 100% recommended this car based on the fact that it saved my family Iv never been more thankful

Beware of "professional reviews" this car is a gem

Like the heading, beware of so called expert reviewers who for some reason bash this car. The truth is this car is an underappreciated gem. I returned my leases car a year ago and a new job got me looking at new cars. I'm not into luxury cars so looked at Subaru Outback and the Outlander. The Subaru drove better but in terms of value for money the Outlander blew all competition out of the water. I really love this car, bought the highest trim for 25k and as of today cant say anything wrong with it. It drives smoothly, very intuitive entertainment system, handles the road well. It is true that the acceleration isnt all that great,but I'm not going to race anytime soon. The car I got has power liftgate, blind spot monitor and rear sensor all included. Unlike the other Japanese cars dont forget this one is 100% made in Japan so the workmanship is definitely good. So far no regrets. BTW im getting 27 miles to the gallon in the city!

2018 Outlander SEL S-AWD still good 1 year later

Researched throughly and test drove Crv, traverse, nearly bot a Buick Enclave, Highlander. Bought a Outlander SEL S-AWC. Find it to be well done. As others noted...the “expert” reviews and rankings are wrong. They compare 0-60 times and some random specs to $50k SUVs and say it’s no good. There is plenty of plastic in even luxury SUVs, I have seen it and touched it. I was More influenced by the owner reviews because people that have them love them. I went to drive one and really did not want to like it, but I did. The pricing for new or used is friendly, great warranty, good performance. I have owned many GMC, Ford, Honda’s and Toyota’s over time and I find the Mitsubishi quality as good as anyone’s. Cars have become an “appliance” for me, but I remain a sucker for the features of the Luxury and status brands. I recommend you check out Mitsubishi. Update 6 months later: Even better than expected...not one issue. 30mpg in town with the ac on. Once you get used the CVT transmission you can get all the performance you want. Small details demonstrate to me it is well engineered and true Japanese quality. Check it out for yourself then look at the price. Still don't recall ever seeing a positive 'professional' review. Update after 1 year...Very Satisfied Owner...Good commuter and Comfortable cruising on a 3500 mile road trip with 18 hour legs. 30 mpg on that trip. Only routine scheduled maintenance required. Still strongly recommend it, go look at one for yourself. Update after 2.5 years and 50,000 miles: still good with zero problems. Oil changes and some new tires is the complete list of maintenance items. Multiple 4000 mile road trips summer and winter without incident. Still 30 mpg hiway and 26 in town. Update after 3 years. Put 55,000 miles on in 3 years. Tires and brakes are only expense. Good in town good on hiway. Gonna keep it, can’t find anything better.

Beats Cadillac SRX at half the price!

I just bought a 2018 Outlander. This car is an unbelievably great value. I had a Cadillac SRX before I got a 2016 Outlander in August of 2016. The Outlander looked good, but too good, so I leased it, figuring I'd get out of it if it went bad. It was half the price of getting another CRX! It was a great car! It was a little slow off the starting line, not an acceleration star, but I'm over needing that these days. It had plenty enough acceleration when I floored it when I needed it, like merging into speeding commuters on the highway. My soulmate loved it, said it wasn't any different from the CRX, ride, quiet and comfort-wise. It's a great quiet cabin, smooth and easy ride. The gas mileage was a big improvement, 28 on my commute, and 32 on a trip. My gas bill went down by 50% (I suppose not sprinting off at every light like I did with the Caddy had something to do with that.) I was so pleased with that car that I just got the 2018 version when the lease ran out. The new one is even better! I'm just learning the about new features -- blind spot alarm, auto-lights, 360 degree cameras (It gives a bird's eye view), great sound system with Apple play, I don't even know everything that's new, but it's great. Looks better too, nice accents. This is a great car at the best price for the best features of all comparable SUVs. And the dealer was excellent too. No monkey business, no games, no time-wasting "stories". They gave me the honest right price right off the bat (I've had a little experience with the business and this is my 23rd vehicle purchased for my own use). The service I got from the dealership during the 3 year lease was extraordinary too. My experience buying 23 cars over the years had me thinking bad thoughts about the dealerships and their people, but this dealership convinced me we still have professional and honest people with integrity in this business. The dealership is Sarasota Mitsubishi. --- William Anderson, LMHC, Sarasota, Florida

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)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
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.

I own a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES and I have had it now for 14 years, my son was 2 when I got it and now he will be 16 in 3 months. I was planning on getting him a used car but then decided my credit was good and I could get a brand new car and give him the Galant. I wasn’t planning on getting a car until December of this year (2018) but I went into the dealership to get an oil change on the Galant and ended up letting them run my credit and was able to get ANY CAR I WANTED WITH NO MONEY DOWN!!! Talk about going in for an oil change, a new battery for 1 of the Galant remotes and an extra key for the Galant to additionally walking out with a 2018 SUV!! I knew the car I wanted that I wanted to have: 1) leather seats 2) heated seats 3) power seats 4) Bluetooth 5) Blind spot monitor 6) Navigation 7) sunroof 8) Sirius XM radio 9) backup camera ...now out of those 9 things I got 8!! What I learned was every model has something the other doesn’t. I’m 37 years old and this is the 1st time I’m actually paying attention of what I want in a car vs. just having a car, funny thing is I was looking for another sedan and didn’t even want an SUV because I thought I’d be spending more money on gas, let alone I said I wasn’t buying another Mitsubishi. Now my Galant has not ever given me any problems but I thought I’d just get a different brand since this would be my 3rd and final car. When I was pregnant with my son I had a 1998 Mazda Protege and that was in November 2001 then I got my Galant in February 2005 and here it is February 2018 and I’m buying another Mitsubishi. I did t want a car note I was originally planning on going to an auction but figured I’d i was going to have a car note to try and have it paid off in 2 years by the time my son graduates from high school. When I looked around I saw the SEL sport model and thought it was cool cuz it had the heated seats and everything that I wanted besides the sun roof it had a moonroof. When she showed me the LE model yes it had the sunroof and multi camera view but it was manual seats and they weren’t heated so that was a no go. Then she showed me the SEL Outlander and had me park it right next to the Sport SEL model and that was it, it was 13 inches longer and had more cargo space which I needed because I shop at Costco. I was looking for a car that was no longer than 191.5 inches because I have a garage and we park both cars behind the other so in order for the garage to close I needed a car that was going to fit length wise. I looked at Honda’s, Toyota’s and Nisssans and I would’ve paid more for the Nissan Rogue with everything I would’ve wanted an additional packages, the Toyota CH-R had manual seats and the Honda HR-V didn’t have the Honda Sense safety features. I didn’t get the S-AWC nor 4WD because I don’t drive in the snow, mud or mountains, I live in Long Beach,Ca and having the V6 engine wasn’t needed for me. It was going to be more on gas and I’m just a regular driver so the 2.4L with CVT was suitable enough for me as I am a sensible driver. Then when it came to my car insurance it was CHEAPER than getting the other 3 brands I looked at and priced certain models so I am very happy with my car. To think I didn’t even have an SUV in mind and I came out with one plus got $2,500 in rebates so to come on here and see actual owner reviews made me happy because the expert revues were poor. This thing doesn’t need a V6 engine, I just put it in sport mode and I get a HUGE KICK in speed whereas the speed in the regular drive mode is good. I have an iPhone so the Apple car play is perfect for me and my son when we are in the car, I was bummed that my particular Mitsubishi dealership didn’t have the SEL model where I could’ve had the Touring package which had the Frontal collision mitigation and lane departure BUT when I was originally making my list I didn’t have those things in there for safety so the blind spot monitor with lane change assist and rear cross traffic assist are just fine, I tell you ANYTHING that I would’ve got was gonna be an UPGRADE from that 2004 Galant so I’m happy, I didn’t choose to get a sunroof in my model and I’m ok without that and the navigation really comes from my iPhone connected via USB using the Apple car play so it’s cheaper than the Nissan or Honda models which actually has Navigation in it because I’m using my cell phone so that’s ok to, I still say I have Navigation because of the Siri maps and GPS on my phone. I won’t really be using that 3rd row I just wanted it because other cars with this price range had the normal 2 rows and I know the Rogue has 3 rows but the Outlander has more cargo room overall. Besides it’s just me and my teenage son who now has his own car so now it’s just me and I’m ok with what I have, this car will last me 15 years just like my Galant, if I do get another car after this my son will be buying it for me.

Best Overall Value For A 3 Row Seating Gas SUV

First off I was looking for a 3 row seating SUV that was fuel efficient and wasn't too big and didn't cost too much. Went to several dealerships of different makes and compared all the 3 row seating SUV's I could find. I already knew about the Mitsubishi brand and that they do make durable and reliable cars back in the Philippines. When I test drove this, I was impressed at how awesome the interior was and it was all standard including the fog lights and sunroof of my 2018 Outlander SE. It shifted gears smoothly and ride was comfortable with a roomy interior. After buying it and having it now for the 3rd week, I am amazed at the the fuel efficiency for a 3 row seating gas SUV, I am getting about 25-30city and 40-45hwy depending on how I drive. Just like in any vehicle, turn off eco mode to get more power but you use up more gas. It also has a spare tire underneath so to get this fuel efficiency is awesome! Don't believe in the so called expert reviews, read reviews from consumers and test drive it for yourself to see what a great value these vehicles are. The seats are not as of heavy, but they are sturdy as long as its used properly and contributes to the weight of the vehicle which helps with the fuel efficiency. Its an awesome vehicle try it for yourself. After 20000 still lovin it, only regular oil changes needed and still runs great! If you need more power just turn off eco mode and you will feel the difference.

these outlanders are wonderful. I have a 2011 and a 2018. turning radius best in industry. the awd will go ANYWHERE. never been stuck even on mud roads in mountains. Change the oil when stated and you wont have any probles for at leat 80,000 miles (that how many I have on 2011). The CVT is unbelievable NO shifting like the 6 or 8 speed 'luxury vehicles' SMOOTH

Update 1/4/23: Still love this truck. Routine check found minor oil leak in oil gasket. Replaced under warranty. 33k miles. Update: 2.5 yrs in and 22k miles later - still the best decision. No issues thus far. Naturally aspirated engine means no turbo to break. Don't just trust car critics. Trust actual car owners to give you an honest review. This truck is really perfect for practical people. Update: 7 months and 6,800 miles later - everything I wrote down below is still true. Drove it in snow here in Chicago a couple weeks and it performed very well. Best bang for your buck. We honestly shopped around for months and tested several small SUVs. This truck was not even in our top 3 cars originally considered. Original Review: Previously owned 2003 CRV for 8 yrs. Also owned 2007 Pilot which I used to trade in for this Outlander. Don't believe the so called experts. Drive it for yourself. Easily drives better than my old CRV when it was new. The best part is owning a 4WD for literally under $22k. Tax and interest included.

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!

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??

Great value for $. Ample power; CVT performs well. Very flexible seating/storage combinations. A lot of cargo capacity with 2d and 3d rows folded. All seats very easy to fold/unfold. Strong A/C handles hot Texas summer. Apple Car Play works well. Digital display says "See you" when ignition off; a cheerful detail that is a nice way to end a drive.

This “expert” review does not take in consideration what consumers like myself want. I get 30 mpg. Tons of space including third row for little ones if needed. Quiet ride. RELIABILITY. Our family has taken this car on so many road trips and absolutely love it. Built in Japan, the workmanship is top notch. This review is coming from a 2022 Honda CRV owner as well.
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.

My 2018 Outlander is awesome.. the only drawbacks is the a/c cycles on and off every 5-seconds on and then 8 seconds off resulting in a temp difference of 8-10 degrees I have had it to the dealership 3x for this concern and I was advised that's what they do. It causes me to run the a/c on the highest fan setting to keep back seat passengers comfortable. the fan is on high so its noisy. My 2016 outlander did not do this and would freeze you out. The 2018 has the new 1234a Freon. I work in the auto industry and I feel the evaporator temp sensor is over sensitive im gonna give my dealership another chance if they cannot fix the issue I will enact lemon law procedures and offer a final repair attempt. I love the fuel mileage this thing sips gas has the beat audio system Rockford fosgate system just fix the a/c !!!!!

After extensive research we picked up an outlander es for my wife in February of 2018. She loves it, I love it. Runs great, plenty of pep for us but we know it's not a sports car. Gets great gas mileage, with 5 people, luggage, A/C on and cruise set at 81mph it gets 29+mpg. Even around town it averages 27mpg. After 9 months of loving this car, I bought myself one. Very impressed with the Japanese build quality and the value for the money. Only complaint is the A/C seems pretty weak but it works ok. Also, if you are over 6 feet tall, the driver's seat probably won't slide back far enough for you. I'm 5'9" and drive with the seat all the way back. Got myself the SEL with leather and the big stereo, it's fantastic. Just hoping Mitsubishi motors doesn't leave America anytime soon. Don't know why the "experts" are so down on these cars. My commute to work is over an hour and this vehicle is very comfortable on the long drive.

Bought base model 2wd with 3mi, and it’s surpassed all my expectations in 1 year and 15k miles. Handles, accelerates and brakes well, CVT “shifts” smooth as possible, 27 mpg, and the interior is pretty quiet at speed. With the seats down, I’ve had it completely packed to the roof with furniture, boxes and I’m quite surprised at how well it fit while still offering left over space. Seats are comfortable and easy to fold flat. Has everything I want and nothing I don’t need - great features even in base trim. I don’t love all the blank button spaces, the sun visors don’t slide out, and the cup holders are a little awkwardly placed, but all storage areas are large and extremely usable. I don’t know why the professional reviewers seem to hate this car so much: The rav4 engine sounds like a box of rocks, the CRV has an intrusive auto start/stop w/ turbo lag, and the Forester is more expensive for less a lot less options (4 speakers, ugly steel wheels in 2018-19?) The outlander misses all those flaws and is an extremely capable daily driver.

Outlander is a nice vehicle but is sluggish to drive. To upgrade to a 6 cylinder brings the price up too high. There are other vehicles available for less money. Also to get the safety options you have to pay more. The base models don't have them.

I have had this SUV for about 6 months. It is a good performance vehicle, however one thing really bad is its gas range. On regular street driving conditions you get 220 miles per tank, which means you are looking for your next gas station just after about 100 miles of filling up. On long drives it gives little better but no where close to other SUVs in this class. If you plan to drive a lot or would like to take long trips THIS IS NOT YOUR SUV. Also the workmanship and interior design was done by someone who will never drive this car. Extremely limited storage space and badly designed space utilization. Mitsubishi missed the mark on this one.

Bought this 2018 Outlander with no money out of pocket - zero down, 1% financing...a reminder of the fact that you get what you pay for. This 4 cylinder, CVT is terribly under powered. Add 6 passengers and you wish the floor opened like the Flintstone mobile for help moving. The CVT transmission is awful although I may simply not be used to the way it shifts...or doesn't. The steering is terrible - Had the dealer check it and they told me it was normal for electric steering. You need to constantly correct your direction as if the steering box is over tightened even though it has rack and pinion steering. The steering was like this from day 1 and is very unrelaxing to drive on the highway. Just took the car on a long summer trip and the air conditioning cycles warm air intermittently as if the condenser fan or compressor cycles too often. Only 8,000 miles and less than a year old. To summarize, a poor choice of vehicles. On the plus side, my wife likes it and it has 4wd, although the switch is a button on the console and it easily changes modes if you rest something on the center console.

I love my new Outlander! The car is perfect. So comfortable to drive, I love all the options. Especially the sofa feature. I wasn’t even looking for that when I started shopping. But it’s so nice and convenient to be able to just take a nap once in a while when waiting on my kids to get out of practice.

A known issue that I had no idea about before purchasing a new Mitsubishi Outlander is the rocking driver side seat found in the powered versions (SEL trims). At just 1900 miles, I noticed the movement. After several repair attempts, the seat is still rocking. There is over an inch of movement at this time. I'm now at 17,400 miles, and I'm driving this newly purchased vehicle that is defective. There is no sense of security while driving this suv as the seat rocks back and fourth over an inch. This seems dangerous, and I would recommend that anyone who may be interested in Mitsubishi vehicles to consider another manufacturer that will stand by their product with honesty and integrity.

Bought the GT V6 for more power and towing capability. I came from a Ford escape titanium with 2.0 eco boost. This thing is very under powered for a V6. Very little horsepower and very low torque. Transmission jumps down 3 gears when hitting hills then keeps up shifting and downshifting all the way up the hill. Desperately needs more power and torque. This is supposed to be the upgraded model that tows 3500 lbs. Gas mileage is poor; can not get stated gas mileage on the highway even at 72 mph.

I should have read reviews first. Warranty was only good to the driveway out of the dealership. Mitsubishi says thats how it's supposed to be because all the other new ones are the same. To me that means they are all broken. Blue tooth only comes out on the passenger speaker and at a very low volume. Making it impossible to use while driving. 2018 Outlander
