  • 180k and still going strong

    I bought a 2015 OS ES 4wd brand new. Once we had our second child in 2022 we outgrew it. My mom now drives it… it has 180k on it and we literally have NEVER had to do anything more than routine maintenance. We live in MN and this thing rips through the snow. The 4wd is far superior in the snow compared to awd. I bought a 2017 outlander to replace my 2015 Outlander Sport. It also has the 2.4L engine which is why I wanted it. It’s not as fancy on the interior as some vehicles but Anyone that actually drives one of these will tell you how reliable they are. We have a family and live in a suburb so the most important features for us are reliability, safety, fuel economy, and affordability which Mitsubishi hits all the marks!

  • A fairly dependable SUV — just so plain!

    Okay, so I’m probably being harder on this car than most would for reasons that seem superficial to most. I bought a base model of this used about a month ago, and I’m honestly having some buyer’s remorse over it. I know it’s a base model, but even considering that, for a 2015 it’s just so… soulless. Literally no personality, no interesting details, nothing that sets it apart from every other SUV on the road. Don’t get me wrong, for almost everyone, that’s probably fine, because you’re likely just looking for a practical vehicle that handles terrain well, which in the ~5k miles I’ve already put on this (I drive a LOT) I can say it does with ease. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already looking around for something with a bit more character I could swap this for.

  • Very attractive car!

    This car has comfortable leather seats, great legroom, darker tinted backseat and cargo areawindows. The air conditioner works great. I love having 4-wheel drive. The larger rims, smaller capacity for tire air due to those, make it a bit of a bumpy ride, though.

  • Great SUV

    The outlander sport is great. It's a great value for the money. The interior is spacious and comfortable. I can see how many people say the engine is weak (hp) but it's good enough for me. Even on the highway, it's great. I've owned several Mitsubishi's and none have let me down.

  • SNOW WARRIOR

    My Outlander is a great car. If you put good tires on it, it's a work horse in the snow. I have had the car 8 years, pulled a small boat with it and no transmission problems. I did have to replace the catalytic converter but that's the only major expense so far. It only has $160,000 + miles on it. I plan to run it until the end.

  • transmission failures with CVT transmission

    the car is a sporty looking piece of trash, Mitubishi does not allow transfer of 10 year 100,000 mile drive train to second owner. it has known transmission issue with CVT transmission. buyer beware if buying used. replacement cost for transmission is 8000.00. Purchase extended warranty on this vehicle id buying used.
