A Hidden Japanese Secret!

5 Stars in Reliability, Dependability, Safety Performance, Design, Features and Price. Nissan are part owners of Mitsubishi and they revised this car for 2016. It has the same transmission as the Rogue made by JATCO. It has a Japanese Engine built and made in Japan. The top 4 cylinder model has the power of a V6 when mated to the most up to date new generation CVT transmission. The SEL model has options and features at a very affordable price. This is is a dream car. My wife loved this car. I had a chance to drive 3 hours from the NJ dealer to NY and it was really fun to drive. This car is also a 7 Seater which the seats are adjustable to the passengers who are sitting in it. The car is never boring to look at. This vehicle is truly a value and getting popular as we speak. We love this car. Model - 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL model with Premium Package.

Reliable

El auto satisface mis necesidades, es amplio por dentro, muy util para mi ya que tendo yeso (cast) en un pie. Los asientos y el aire son confortables.

I’m just getting use to it

It seems to be ok I’m use to a car not an SUV. The seat isn’t as comfortable as the Altima I had before but I like how it handles on curves

Super excited about this car.

This car captured us the moment we saw it. We were out just looking but when we saw this one we knew it was the one for us and it hasn't let us down.

Nicest car I’ve owned

Bought used at 40,060 miles. Love all the extras. It’s fun to drive, nice size, love the third row seating, I’ve had mine almost a year the only problem I have is the car feels like it’s pulling back all the time like you really have to push the gas for it to go also the inside gets dirty and scratched up easy. Use seat covers because seats stain easy. I’ll have this car another 5 years so hope it’s a good one!

Trust owners reviews

The real test is by those who own them and drive them daily, not the guys who get to test drive everything. I guess if I just finished testing a BMW X6 supercharged and then started testing the outlander I might be disappointed. With that said the only way I can describe this suv is that it’s the best bang for your buck! I would by another one in a minute.

An Underrated Gem of an SUV!

The Mitsubishi Outlander truly is an underrated and underappreciated GEM of an SUV. I plead you to ignore the lukewarm reviews from so-called "automotive journalists and professionals," who all have their own agendas, biases and outside influences, and do yourself a favor and go check out/test drive the Outlander. We have the GT with the V6 engine and 6-speed transmission and are floored by how great it performs: quick acceleration, great handling, responsive braking. We're equally floored at what a nice, quiet ride it provides, despite having sporty handling - akin to my past Mazdas, BTW. The Outlander offers SO many features, which in other automakers would cost you so much more to have. It feels more expensive than what it is. It has a ton of room inside - including an emergency-use 3rd row seat. It's a great-looking crossover, inside and out. It has a BANGIN' stereo! And, It just makes an awesome new car, but an even BETTER used one - which is how we bought it. What a deal! Only minor negatives: fuel economy could be better (then, again, this IS a V6 - and they do have a more fuel efficient 4-cylinder version), the seats feel a bit too firm (though, after long road trips, it helps out my back and it doesn't hurt - try 'em on for size), the turn signal feels flimsy (and shouldn't), and the door switches should be better illuminated. (See? All minor issues that can be chalked up to to personal preference.) I'd much rather own this SUV than the GAZILLION, anonymous CRVs of the world (C'mon, people! There are other good cars besides Honda - think differently!) Overall, this is a great car and we HIGHLY recommended it.

Ive had it almost 3 years and No Issues

I bought this car after having multiple problems with my new Hyundai, 8 problems to be exact. Although not a small suv it gets amazing gas milage. Over 30 mpg driving to Vegas. I drive the speed limit for best milage results. Outside very stylish, rims cool compared to lame Chevy designs. Nice stereo system, Sirius XM great, Handeling very good, spacious, back seats slide back for more room. 3rd row seat nice but don't use. Plenty of cargo space. I have the 4 cylinder and plenty of power going up hills. Not sure why everyone thinks they need over 290 HP? It's not necessary for everday driving. I don't agree with some proffesional reviews. Very nit-picky and unfair in my opinion. This is car priced so much lower than competition. My only complaint is that although I like interior layout it's a bit cheap and inside door panels scratch easily. I have had no issues with this car. Zero. My dealer also provides free oil changes as long as I own vehicle.

very reliable car, and fun to drive

the outlander is a fun car to drive, it is reliable, and it is well worth the price for what you get in the car.

Best value for the price in a midsize siv

This car meets all my needs for a daily driver that has some substance and gets great mpg. I drive 60 miles a day and get about 30 mpg on the highway. It drives smooth and fits my 6' frame well
