2012 Mitsubishi Outlander consumer reviews

I bought this used 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander SE in 2014 with about 23,000 miles on it. All 8 years that I’ve had it, with the odometer now at just over 100,000 miles, the only things I had done on it is put in a new set of tires twice and and brake pads replacement/service twice. It has never broken down on me, or required any repair whatsoever in all the 8 years and more than 80,000 miles that I have had it. The on-demand 4-wheel drive feature works great in the snow. It does not have the most powerful engine, but is more than adequate for everyday commuting and has proven to be extremely reliable and sturdy. The brand may not rank well against the more acclaimed ones, but I think I got the year model that turned out to be a gem of a pick. I have owned 3 Toyotas, 2 Hondas, 1 Hyundai, 1 Mazda and 1 Chrysler, and I can rank this Mitsubishi along with the Honda as my best ever in reliability, durability and value.

This is our second Mitsubishi, first was a Lancer and was also a great vehicle. Bought our 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander GT from D&E Mitsubishi in Wilmington, NC as a certified pre-owned with 23,000 miles on it in early 2014. Vehicle was a Mitsubishi Exec demo vehicle, so it was fully loaded with every available option for the model year. Fast forward to 2019 we have 141,000 miles of trouble free driving. Vehicle has been to Florida and back several times, as well as all over the Carolinas on frequent trips. I would drive it to California and back today. Besides routine and recommended maintenance and one battery, no other repairs have had to be made. Still runs and handles like when it was first purchased. Very little interior rattle or noises as it has aged. I plan on keeping this one as long as it will allow us to! Only complaints are some of the interior materials scratch or mark easy and the paint is real thin and chips / scratches easy. Lancer had the same problem, so appears to be a Mitsubishi fit/finish issue. Other than that, again a great vehicle! 4WD/AWD (S/AWC) works extremely well in snow and sand. Gets decent gas mileage for a V6 SUV/CUV with AWD.

You got eberything you need on this vehicle.Experience all kinds of weather and road conditions for 5 years.Definitely recommend.Has a good power and the 2wd and 4 wd option were amazing.Surely gonna miss this great vehicle.

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander se sport utily is a good looking suv crossover they say is under power the 2.4 cilinder but if you press the gas you fill a lot of power 0-60 take 9.5 second and on snow condition is a badboy powerful is a perfect car better them the new model of outlander and very sporty 18 inch rims and powerful audio system 750 watt better then RAV4 CRV and Nissan Rogue

I have a 2012 Outlander and LOVE it. I have had to move cross country and all over the states several times and am impressed with how much I can fit in my SUV. I love that the seats fold down for extra storage. I added a hitch to the back so I could pull a small trailer, it can also pull a boat. It's a strong, durable, reliable, comfortable car that gets the job done.

I have to say I have had the 2012 Outlander SE since 2012 and overall very happy. I do a lot of mileage and have 157k on it. Out of no where service engine light comes on and won't go into gear. Bring to three mechanics and all say same transmission. $7500-9000 repair. Not worth fixing for value of car. Had other brands and at least symptoms occur before a light. I am scrambling to find another car asap.

This vehicle has excellent road handling ablility and comfort. This is my second Outlander that I've purchased, so that should say a lot.

I purchased the car at the end of 2013 new and it was a left over 2012, happened to be the exact color and options I wanted, White GT loaded with everything. The car has an amazing super all wheel control system that handles like a dream in the snow. The car has been completely trouble free. I have put 47k mile on it in 2 years and its never let me down. The stereo system is outrageous and a BLAST! What a great driving experience my friends always compliment on how much they like it when they ride in it. I definitely made the right decision buying this car and would do it all over again if given the option.

We purchased a used 2012 with about 30,000km and have since put another 45,000km on the vehicle. Other than dealer tires wearing out prematurely, no real complaints. The dial 4 wheel drive is great in the snow and other amenities like heated seats are a nice touch. Would definitely consider another Outlander as our next vehicle.

big trouble with steering. 3 trips to Michaud Mitsubishi Danvers MA to get fixed finally. lot of wind noise. strange growl unresolved yet in transmission. seat heater comes on (not turned on) and can't get to go off. Get another car. I certainly am.
