Underwhelming
I didn’t like the ergonomics, the layout for the center console, or the control configuration on the steering wheel. The seat was comfortable and offered good support for long distance driving without crippling my back, so that’s worth a star all by itself. Your mileage may vary. I absolutely hated the cruise control. Climbing a mountain I found myself going ten mph under the set speed because the cruise control was already commanding maximum power and the engine couldn’t maintain speed. Fair is fair; there were four people in the vehicle and all of our baggage for a weekend. Respectable enough performance for a four cylinder. Coming down the other side, however, I looked down and found myself going TWENTY!!!!! mph over the set speed. If you programmed the car to the speed limit and didn’t keep a watchful eye on it, that’s a pretty hefty speeding ticket. If you programmed it to speed a little, depending on its ability to maintain speed within an mph or two and the forbearance of the local constabulary, you’d be at a serious risk of being arrested for reckless driving.

Black Diamond Beauty
I love the paint job on my car. I had no idea when I bought it that I had sparkles all in the paint. I love the style. Pros: Beautiful car, love all the extras for little money Great speed, Great acceleration, Great interior, I love my suede and leather seats but that was a joke when I was thinking I bought all leather so little disappointed but ended up loving the seats. I have the AWD which i recommend. I can fly past people up hill with no problems. Cons: Stupid hood shakes so bad after 65 mph. Dealer said cant fix till recalled another dealer said I can but on a waiting list. I drive all over the state of Alabama for work and the hood is fine. Yes, it shakes and scared me the first year but now I just keep on truckin. I do hope it gets recalled soon. No need to not drive the car on interstate as people have said bc I do. I have 40,000 miles on mine in 9 months so thats a bunch of driving on the interstate and my hood is fine. Just know it does shake and is scary at times between two 18-wheelers. The overall car has been perfect, The screen did go off and I pitched a fit but found out it does random updates so leave it alone and it will come back on automatically. Love this little car so much. However, wish it was all leather, no shake hood and more comfortable but hey, you get what you pay for. 35,000.00 is a steal for such a great little sexy ride. I love mine regardless the issues stated.

AVOID! Hopefully they stop making vehicles!!
I bought a 2023 Outlander SE after being exhausted trying to find a decent used SUV & other new SUVS are so expensive! BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Since One day of owning 5/4- The alignment was messed up I took it in to have it fixed today 5/5 the cameras stopped working, the stereo speakers sound blown, there is a rattling sound in the dash, the brakes feel weird, there is a burning wire/rubber smell now, it kept pulling to the right, driver assist, lane assist, steering assist works when it wants to, wiper speed on automatic turned to the lowest is too fast it obviously doesn’t have a decent sensor. I just know the light wiring is going to have Recalls I had a truck that had LED lights put in the wires started burning it had the same smell. it sitting running sounds like a lawn mower, definitely has no power they could have at least put a vtech turbo 4 cylinder the current 4 cylinder it has you can definitely tell don’t try passing anyone you wouldn’t be able to, the transmission feels like it slips or something. I have a maxima with a v6 xtronic cvt and it has 205k miles still runs perfect. I wanted a 2020 pathfinder but couldn’t find one, & the new Nissans are crazy priced! There are so many things wrong with this Outlander that I’m going to actually go backwards and trade it because I drive 3-5k miles a month and don’t want to risk breaking down or having issues 24/7 & it’s best to just trade now while there is less than 400 miles. I took it on a mini road trip & thankfully I did before I do my monthly 2000 mile trip because the problems for a Brand New vehicle are unreal. I would think twice before buying this. Seriously get a better brand used SUV don’t go off looks but mechanics. I wish I would have kept looking & read reviews first. I’m beyond frustrated & aggravated. I’m really upset, I’m going to have to do a trade and lose money on something I purchased 24 hours ago but has too much going on. This suv is not it. The SE is very basic too 6 speakers, passenger seat is manual, 3rd row what 3rd row? no spare tire, no storage space, my daughters new Acura integra is bigger , more durable, drives 100X better I am actually going to try to trade for one. I can tell the quality difference and drives like a quality car should, it’s heavier made, you feel like you’re going to blow over in the outlander. It’s very poor all the way around I think it’s time Mitsubishi gives up on making vehicles they’ve not made anything reliable since the old school lancers. They really need to just sell out to Acura, or Toyota and stop- they’re only going to upset more people than make happy. I hope nobody gets in such a mess of buying a poorly made vehicle. Please read the bad reviews- the good ones are more than likely paid for reviews there is absolutely nothing positive to say about this outlander. The 2020 pathfinder is a great year if you can find one with lower miles, the MDX, the integra, Lexus, murano are reliable and better do your research, read reviews, recalls & complaints I wish I would have

Gadgets galore
OK. I'm you g enough to find my way around computers and smart phones. This is my first new car. Alot of electronic options. Great car, but so much going on its a bit overwhelming. Extremely comfortable. Mitsubishi connect is neat, but only comes free for 2 years, after that if you want remote start and the other features, it's 100$ a yr. We will pay it because remote start in Ohio is worth it in the winter. It's a nice car, getting a ton of compliments.
Junk
2023 outlander ES AT 9 months rear differential went. Had to be towed to dealership then waiting 2 months for repair.. 2 months later leak in the front axel seal which was transmission fluid.. took month and half to repair.. now a few weeks later and having transmission issues.. feels like a standard car that is going to stall. Don’t know how long g this will take to fix.. tire that came on in are crap blew the tire in the first three months and no spare tire… needless to say a trade is in the very near future and will never purchase from them again! Stay clear!

No as good as I thought
For as nice as it looks and as much as I paid I expected a lot more from this vehicle. It’s noisy and a strange popping sound started coming from the body at about 5,500 miles and the right front suspension is also making a popping sound. The 3rd row of seating is non existent so there’s no point of even having them. I’m totally disappointed with my purchase.

Buyer beware!!
Our 2023 Outlander has been at the dealership for over a month now waiting on parts, a strut. They keep saying they aren’t making extras and I say sure they are they are on every new Outlander. You should know this prior to purchasing a Mitsubishi! Unless you have multiple vehicles you may want to stay away from this brand. This is my last for sure!

Tires cupping
Purchased a 2023 Outlander, 2 months later my brother-in-law purchased a 2023 Outlander also. My BIL had to replace tires at approximately 20 thousand miles because of a cupped tire. At 40 thousand miles the same rear tire was cupped again. My Outlander now has 18 thousand miles and I noticed a lot of road noise so I checked my back tires and sure enough one is cupped.

Robbed
Recently had my catalytic converter stolen, it’s so frustrating because now I have to wait 8-10 weeks just to have one ordered because of back orders. Can’t get a rental because my insurance doesn’t cover theft, (only collision )but I’ll be without my vehicle for almost 3 months. Not only did the thieves burglarize me but so did Mitsubishi. Why would they make a vehicle with easy access to the converter. Apparently Mitsubishi outlanders are a big target. When they made these vehicles they should have put some kind of protector to prevent thieves from having easy access to them! They might as well have sold me a vehicle with no hood and let the thieves take what they want! Because they just went right under my vehicle and quickly took my catalytic converter with no kind of protection! So thanks a lot Mitsubishi for burglarizing me as well! I don’t even want my vehicle anymore only to have the thieves come back and do it again! I’m frustrated and feel violated! 8-10 weeks just for a part is ridiculous! Manufacturer of this part is banking right now with all these converters needing replacements! I have a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport so my vehicle is still fairly new! I’m pissed, frustrated and feel violated so thanks a lot Mitsubishi!

10/10 would not recommend
My last 2 cars were Honda CRV’s which I loved but Honda has raised the prices so much we decided to try something new. I loved the look of the Outlander and the price was right. That is all it has going for it. If you’re looking for a car that everything works on, this is not the car for you. The touch screen is sketchy and freezes. Half the time apple car play will let you hear the directions but not see the map. The first time I tried to use the washer fluid it didn’t work, so assuming it was empty (on a brand new car) I added fluid. That was not the case, it just doesn’t work. The cruise control is basically worthless. Even on a straight away it can’t hold speed and heaven forbid you are on any type of incline. With less than 1500 miles on it the change oil light came on. Don’t set your purse on the passenger floor board if your keys are in it. The car won’t detect the key and start. If you’re trying to lock the car, make sure not to put your key in your gym bag or in your purse unless you keep it on your hip closest to the door or it won’t lock. This is the worst car purchase I’ve ever made.
poor workmanship overall real garbage
I've purchased 2022 outlander SEL launch ED , Apr of 2021 when first came out. It was loaded with all kinds of features and looked very good. After delivery day 1 went on fwy driving at 60MPH the hood started to shake up and down so violently I thought it was going to fly open. After going back to dealer they told needed adjustment which did nothing to help. Now after 2 years MITSUBISH has a fix and that is to replace my hood with a different design and have Bodyshop paint the new hood. I think that will have impact on resale. Also the upholstery is creasing on the all the seats .So my conclusion about the outlander is that they are trying to sale cheap car and just to make it look well appointed but its all low quality because Mitsubishi customer service told me that's normal for their cars upholstery will crease after time so not cover under warranty .Buyer Beware. FOR ME THIS WAS THE LAST MITSUBISH I WOULD EVER BUY. Don't be fooled by their advertisement. I think it might be all photo shopped.

Surprisingly good
Bought the AWC es. For the 18 inch rims. Changed tires toBF Goodrich trail t/a. Never a problem 5000 miles. Don't like the dealer trying to tell me only needs oil change every 10000 miles. Going to do it myself , a real pain with these plastic skid plates everywhere. Useless for rocks but does keep crap out.

Great value 3 row suv
Later model 2022 outlanders have had all the common complaints of rattling hood etc fixed I have never had that issue. The complaints about the app remote start fail rate have also been fixed by software update in Nov 2023. For the money this SUV has been nothing but great for a family vehicle. Only complaint is local driving mpg is bad 10-12mpg. You have to drive freeway to get 30mpg+.

Rear-end replaced 3 times
Rear diff went now for a total of 3 times which causes alignment to go out and have now went through 3 sets of tires. They just replaced the whole rear end 4 weeks ago, and it just went again. They have no explanation as to what's causing the issue. Anyone else having similar problems ?

Impressed in Arizona
Bought my 2022 Outlander (Black edition) in April of 2022 and I have to say that I LOVE this vehicle! My 4 star rating could have been a 5 if Mitsubishi would have included a SPARE TIRE!!! My dealer included a 3 year 36000 mile tire warranty and made a point to tell me that even if I ran over a ladder or something on the highway that roadside assistance would show up and the tire would be replaced. That turned out to be to good to be true! I live 60 miles from the nearest town that anyone could repair or replace a tire and my flat tire turned into an ordeal. Anyway, the spare tire and the limited room in any of the glove compartments are the only gripe that I have. I never had any issues with the hood that previous reviews had and I am averaging between 28 and 36 miles to the gallon! Had a 2017 Honda CRV before this, and the Outlander is 10 times the vehicle that was! I am impressed with this car so far and most people love the looks of it and I get numerous compliments on it.

Love the car
I love all of the appointments on the car. Handles great. One issue I have is with the parking sensors. I have a bike rack that attaches to the rear bumper. Everytime I put the bike on it, the sensors go crazy. I love having the sensors but if this continues I will have to turn them off. I have tried adjusting the carrier but to no avail.

Perfect Car considering Price
I drove 15000km during 15 months and it was very reliable. The performance in snow was amazing. The difference driving mode makes miracle! The only issue I had was about hearing noice from breaking pads which been fixed for free.

Love my car but
The battery only last for 2 years which is absolutely ridiculous. Once the battery is shot you have to purchase a brand new battery at your own expense. My car plug for android auto has a glitch. Both my daughters have the same car and year and have the same issue. So it is a manufacturing flaw for sure. Same on you Mitsubishi
