My Outlander

Love the Outlander Sport, I had really wanted just the Outlander for the 3rd row seating but couldn't get approved for it, so working towards it!!! I have recommended this vehicle to several people.

MITSU SO UNDERATED

I REALLY CAN'T TRUTHFULLY REVIEW THE 2015 OUTLANDER GT I JUST PURCHASED OTHER THAN TO SAY I HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN MITSUBISHI. TO THOSE READING THESE REVIEWS WHO ARE'NT FAMILIAR WITH THERE VEHICLES I CAN TELL YOU, IVE HAD A 91 GALANT THAT WENT THRU THE FAMILY IN NY AND SOUTH CAROLINA UNTIL IT WAS WRECKED BY MY NIECE WITH 160,000 MILES IN 2013. I HAVE A 2003 OUTLANDER THAT I JUST GAVE TO A SISTER IN LAW, 209,000 MILES NEITHER OF THESE CARS HAD ANY MAJOR REPAIRS, JUST MAINTENANCE. THE ''EXPERTS'' REVIEWING THESE SUV'S LOVE TO DEMEAN MITSU WHILE THE SAME CONFIGURATION IN A HONDA IS PRAISED!! IVE OWNED HONDA, TOYOTA AND NISSAN'S, GOOD CARS. EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE AND WHAT ABOUT 100,000/ 10 YEAR WARRANTY? THIS OUTLANDER CAUGHT MY EYE WHEN I FIRST SAW IT AND I KNOW I WILL HAVE MANY HAPPY YEARS OF DRIVING AHEAD. TO ANYONE WHO HAS'NT GIVEN THIS SUV A SERIOUS LOOK, FORGET THE EXPERTS...MORE OPTIONS, A SOLID COMFORTABLE JAPANESE VEHICLE FOR A VERY FAIR PRICE, WITH AN INDUSTRY LEADING WARRANTY!

Great car

Great car. I love my Outlander. It's got automatic headlights, automatic rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth communications and a great navigation system. Fuel economy I took a road trip a few weeks ago and got an even 32 mpg. Comfort: Five persons fits very well, enough leg room, in a long ride every one feel confortable. I set the climate control to the temperature I want and it maintains it, whether that means heat or cooling. Quiet interior while driving, great sound system and wonderful handling.

Great little SUV!

Great looking, great priced car, I lease it, don't want to give it back. Just awesome looking. Handles great! I feel I get decent gas mileage. As other reviewers have said, at a dead stop it isn't the fastest car once the light turns green, but once you are on the highway at "cruising speed" you do better than most cars. I drive highway to and from work - Chicago highway, handles awesome, quick and peppy once you're over 40mph is my guess. But like another reviewer said, just step on the gas more & it'll GOOO. The sound system is amazing!!!! I get lots of compliments on this car, and my teenagers want to drive it all the time!

I Love My Outlander Sport

I bought my 2013 Outlander Sport LE in Sept. 2013 after comparison shopping various compact SUV's on Cars.com. Since it was the reviews on this web site that persuaded me, I think it's only fair that I contribute my own experience to the body of reviews available to help people do their research.. First, the styling: I got a Mercury Grey Outlander with killer wheel covers and high-intensity headlights. It looks a lot like the similar-sized Audi compact SUV. I see heads turning on a regular basis. It's got automatic headlights, automatic rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth communications and a great navigation system. I traded in a 1995 GMC Jimmy for the Outlander and feel like I walked through a time warp! Fuel economy: I took my first significant road trip a few weeks ago and got an even 32 mpg. Most of my driving has been around town (suburban Tampa) and I get an average of about 27 mpg close to home. I couldn't be happier. With a 16+ gallon fuel tank you can go around 500 miles on a tank of gas on a long road trip. Comfort: I set the climate control to the temperature I want and it maintains it, whether that means heat or cooling. Quiet interior while driving, great sound system and wonderful handling. I particularly enjoy the tight turning radius when parking and making U-turns. Value: The truck I traded in sold for $29,000 18 years ago. I feel like I got a vehicle twice as good for quite a bit less money, although I can't tow a boat or trailer with the Outlander (I can carry my kayaks and bicycle on racks). Performance: You can read other reviews and see remarks about pickup in the 0-40 mph range. It's true the Outlander doesn't have the "torque" in this range of some other vehicles. If it's an issue for you, just step on the gas a little heavier and you won't have any trouble keeping up with city traffic. Personally, I think it's hilarious (and sad) to see the way drivers stomp on the gas and weave in and out of traffic just to be the first one to the next stop light. On the highway, my Outlander seems to hit its stride around 70 mph, so there's absolutely no issue with highway driving. I think it's really a matter of gearing the low end for optimum fuel economy, which I will take any day. In summary, if you're looking for a stylish, versatile, comfortable compact SUV with great fuel economy, I don't see how you can beat the Outlander Sport.

WHAT A RELIEF!

First I have to agree with many others, that if I read expert reviews before buying this car I probably would not have had much interest either. Many reviews say SLOW, let me tell you slow is my previous 4 cyl. Ford Escape I had prior (TERRIBLE), my mitsu on the other hand has decent acceleration, and gives off more of a "sporty" acceleration when switching over to the manual mode. I have put almost 18,000 miles on this car in a little over a year and still have not had one issue with it. I really love the body style as I always loved the Lancer Evo. however am also more of an SUV person, not to mention the large price difference. Anyway, enough babbling, bottom line, if your looking for a reliable car with a good amount of room, and amazing gas mileage, I most definitely recommend this vehicle! You will NOT be disappointed!
