Most under appreciated and undervalued car.

Most under appreciated and undervalued car. Everyone should compare the vast amount of options on this vehicle for the price. They will realize it is a better value than every other car in its class. Search for an SUV that has these features and see what you find. Then look at the Outlander. Proper 4WD (not AWD), 7 seats, leather, V6, 25 MPG, power everything.

Great value

The Outlander is a very good S U V. I lease a new S U V every 2 years and have had them all and the Mitsubishi is as good as the others with a better warranty. Not enough dealers around but hopefully they will expend the dealer network in the near future. Steering on highway could be better. It sometimes seems difficult to keep the Mitsu from wandering. CVT is geared for gas savings for sure but engine does have enough power when needed.

Newest Car

I love this car. We have 2 small children and needed something with a third row for convenience. However, I also commute an hour everyday. This car gives us the third row and amazing gas mileage, 30 miles to the gallon highway. The only 2 downfalls are the third row isn't very big, would probably not be suitable for adults, but works for the kids and when the third row is up, it does not give you much storage in the back.

horrible reliability

i've owned two (both V6 models...bought brand new from their dealers). reliability is horrible...i though "made in japan" is the way to go....but to my surprise it's been very bad. Components failing, assembly issues, poor design. Plus, based on my experience dealing with Mitsu USA, the company has such a small foot print in the states that they don't quite have the financial resources to back up their flashy warranties (10 years)....they don't have the financial backing of a big company with large funds...and that comes through in all the dealings a customer would have with them....from the sale staff, to financing to service and warranty claims. At all steps , you feel like you're dealing with a mom/pop business....very low grade....as if the company can't afford any better. As far as warranty and repairs,if it is not a minor issue, they do not even what to hear about it. So between a subpar product and crappy service, one should look else where. i wanted something different than the usual honda and toyota....but i found out first hand why this brand is almost disappearing from this market....their products are not in the same league as the ones from the other more famous manufacturers. I was ridiculed when i chose this car by friends and coworkers.....now i can't argue for it anymore.

Excellent Overall

It took me a while to get used to the CVT transmission, One i did, The Outlander became a dreamy ride. The styling is nice, It is a very comfortable interior, The ride of the outlander is soft and smooth with very-very little wind noise at all. Although the engine may be just a bit under powered, I give the performance a 5 star rating for it's gas milage of average 28.5 in my case. The value for the dollar is outstanding, very hard to beat. So far i have had zero problems with the outlander. 2017 Outlander SE

Great all around SUV.

I have owned Mitsubishi SUV before (Endeavor) great and fun to drive and very quite on the highway with very accurate steering. Lots of space and the 3 row works well.

Great city suv

I test drove all the vehicles in the Outlander?s class and the Outlander was by far the best value. The S-AWC is amazing I commute 40 miles a day and the Outlander didn?t struggle once in winter conditions. The third row is also awesome to have it is bigger than the Rouge only recommend putting someone back there for shorter rides.

Excellent car

I test drove every make of vehicle in this class and chose this one. The warranty was the best and this tells me they have confidence in their cars. Also I liked the performance and my sales person knew everything about the car and could answer all my questions unlike other dealerships. They also do a special get to know your vehicle night after you purchase. The only thing I would have liked but you don?t get with this car is cubby?s on the dash for sunglasses and storage. All you get is your spot between the seats. My sister has a 2009 model still going strong and it has lots of storage cubbies.

Another Mitsubishi in the stable.

Have had a Mitsubishi in one form or another since 1987 and they all have been tough as nails. It is obvious to me that the so called "professional" writers who review Mitsubishi's have never driven one. Do not believe them, ask an owner. We could not have gotten as much vehicle for the money with any vehicle against our Outlander GT.
