I've had mine for 6 years now and 43k miles. Bought since brand new. No regrets. Great on snow! Perfect size and power for city driving. It's been trouble free so far.

Great SUV

I had been looking for a great SUV and I finally found one that I liked more than the Honda CRV. The Outlander is bigger, but so comfortable and easy to maneuver. It’s a great traveling vehicle. Great on gas too! If you are looking for an SUV that has 4WD, great on gas and easy to drive, the Mitsubishi Outlander is the vehicle for you!

Zero regrets

I bought this car for work. It’s been a month and I’ve been very happy with it! It’s far more comfortable than my truck, and the fuel mileage is great. I just drove 11 hours up to Maine and the car averaged 27 mpg. Inside is basic on my model, but it serves it’s purpose well!

1st Outlander

Great SUV that has plenty of room with a smooth ride. I enjoy the look and the vehicle does not have the blindspots my last ford had.

Value and style

Just bought the 2018 SEL and so far absolutely love it. Don't believe the "expert" reviews. Plenty of power for what it is, take care of the cvt and change the oil it will reward you. Comfortable and tons of space for the kids and they love it. Stylish and unique. Feels higher end to me and my wife LOVES it.

Reliable SUV

I've had this vehicle for two years, so far no issues. To me the MiVec technology is a bit different and I feel the shifting is not normal but apparently it is. The car itself is very reliable, the third row is very small I would say only for small kids. I've taken the vehicle on road trips a couple times and has performed greatly. The interior is pretty basic. Nothing fancy. I still think it is a great vehicle that is going to last many years.

Unbelievable 7 seater SUV with its Overall Value!

Have had this now for more than a year and loving it! It doesnt have as many tech innovations as other vehicles but that is what I wanted since I dont like too much tech in vehicles that can fail or be a recall issue. The 3rd row is not as great for comfortability but is available if you need it so with it closed, you get alot of room in the vehicle. Excellent gas mileage that can compare with a hybrid we own as well. Only thing I wish they would improve would be the shocks so that when you hit a bump, it would be smoother. So far so good, have had no issues just regular maintenance but definitely love this vehicle and highly recommend to everyone looking for an affordable yet great looking and amazing overall value with awesome standard features.

Great choice for a lower cost AWD with 4 lock.

This vehicle rides extremely smooth, great fuel mileage. It does well doing light off roading in sand. The Outlander also has a five star crash rating. I recommend this low cost SUV.

2 years, 0 problems

Very pleased with the room, especially rear cargo with last row seats down. I would buy again, and look forward to seeing the new model change. 30 MPG, typical, is above expectations. Durability of materials is impressive, the car responds to good care.
