Overall Consumer Review Rating
for the Mitsubishi Outlander

Vastly under-rated vehicle

By Andy J. written on 01-09-2017

If you believe the so-called professional reviews on the Outlander, you would be led astray; a bias definitely exists towards Mitsubishi. I own three Mitsubishi cars and I believe they make a better car than Toyota, but with more bells and whistles yet a much lower price. The rebates on these cars are insanely generous. I have the 4 cylinder which is good enough for me, acceleration is acceptable as I am not looking to race anyone. Nice interior. Ride is very smooth and quiet. I got the Premium sound system with mine and it's spectacular. I expect quality to be outstanding based on my prior experience, and the warranty is excellent as it exceeds most manufacturers. You owe yourself a look at the Outlander if you are looking for a small SUV. The downside of Mitsubishi cars is that they depreciate greater than their Japanese cousins, simply due to market share and not quality; I don't care about this as I keep my cars a long time. I almost bought an Avalon and I am glad I got this one instead--saved a lot of $$$ and this car is more practical.

Ignore the "Experts" - Give the Outlander a Chance

By Nathan Davidson written on 03-22-2017

FIRST, and most importantly, ignore the so-called experts who have continually panned the Outlander (and Mitsubishi in general). I'm not sure what the problem is, but their treatment of the brand comes off as wholly unwarranted if you look at the value and quality of their vehicles. Sure, their lineup isn't as elaborate as it once was, and sales have suffered, but that doesn't mean the vehicles they DO SELL are that bad. I owned the original 2003 Outlander for 5 years and 90k miles and loved it. I've probably owned 8 vehicles since then, and I still kick myself for ever selling it. Best "New" car purchase I ever made. I recently purchased a 2016 Outlander ES AWD. I've driven it almost 2 months now and can say that it is one of the best values out there for a Compact-to-Mid size SUV. The features available in the base models are functional and competitive with rivals. The higher-end models can get pricey, but they're still below par compared to the competition. The ride is good. It feels like you're driving a larger sedan. That's one of things that cracks me up about some of the expert reviews (both here, C&D, and other places). IT'S A 4 CYLINDER FAMILY SUV. It isn't going to corner, accelerate, brake, or sound like a Corvette. The CVT takes some getting used, but after a couple of days you don't even notice it. The acceleration from the VERY fuel-efficient 4cyl is more than adequate for us mere mortal drivers who are never going to take a 7-passenger SUV to the skid pad to get G results. I drive in stop-and-go traffic, every single day on the way to work and back. It is literally stop-and-go the entire way (I live 7 miles from my office, and commute is regularly over an hour). I've averaged around 24 MPG up to this point. I'm not sure what else to say - if you came here to see whether or not you should look at an Outlander, just go drive one. It's either for you or it isn't. Just don't let what appears to be a biased car media steer you away from what could be a great vehicle for you. In the meantime, I'm just going to sit here and ask the "EXPERTS" to show me another 25-30MPG SUV with AWD, 7-passenger capabilities, and Japanese build quality and reliability (and a great warranty) in this price range. Go ahead. I'm waiting.

Great value & Unique. Terrible factory Paint!

By A Mitsu Fan Wannabe written on 08-19-2017

Listen up. I want to love my 2016 AWD Outlander. My son and I bought one at the same time. Unique in an Outback world. Great rear cargo space (BTW, get the roof racks.... makes the car!). HWY mileage at 30+ is great. Driver controlled ECO and AWD options a good thing. Rubber band tranny takes getting used to but all good otherwise... EXCEPT the paint application on the hood and pillars ON BOTH OF OUR CARS is flawed. Google it. You will start seeing more complaints. I have owned Porsches, Lexus, Jags, Saabs, Volvos and everything American. I have driven some to 100K and have not changed my driving habits (I know to stay back from trucks, am not four-wheeling my Mitsu, etc.). Both my son's brown 2016 Outlander and my pearl white continue to chip away upfront. I have more marks on my car than I have ever had when trading in 5+ year old vehicles with 5 times the mileage. The regional Mitsu guy suggested no coverage and would not acknowledge any flaws to the paint (despite the fact I have had several new car dealers and exceptional auto body shops all acknowledge that this is faulty application and is "soft, not cured properly" paint. So. If you think of buying an Outlander, ask the dealer to put a note on your P&S agreement that this will be covered if an issue for you and DO NOT BUY without installing a bra / wind screen. Paint-sticking $56000 worth of two new mitsus that are maintained preciously should not even be a thing. Can you say "class action?".
