    The Outlander Sport is a fabulous CUV that is underrated.

    The Outlander Sport is a fabulous CUV that is underrated. The handling and ride are perfect and does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. The interior space is generous and attractive. The maintenance is simple to do. I change the oil and transmission service myself. The structure is solid and creak free. The car was a steal even in the sel trim.

    What a CAR

    I have a 2017 Mitsubishi outlander sport Le I love it absolutely love it it has 130,000 miles on it and not one problem. I drive it daily 70 MI a day for work I absolutely love this car. I do wish they would do something about the paint though it chips very easy. I have used the all-wheel drive and the 4x4 lock I have driven it in snows. One snow was approximately 10 inches there is another snow that had an inch and a half of ice plus 6 in of snow on top of it not one problem of it making it to and from work.

    Not a good vehicle

    Like to trade it off as it seems to not be well made and having issues already. Noise out of the motor periodically, not enough power, too small etc.

    Uncomfortable and underpowered

    These seats are way too firm for this class vehicle. The cvt transmission is amazingly annoying. It makes a ton of noise and it limits the already underwhelming power of the engine. Interior styling is the lowest in its class. Everything feels cheap. Vehicle needs a turbo or manual transmission to make up for the lack of power and acceleration.

    Good car, fair price overall, car payment too high

    ‘This car meets most of my needs, the leg room is just fair. The car monthly payment is too high. The handling is great and the gas efficiency is above average. Overall I like the design and the look.

    Excellent car for the money so far(3 weeks)

    This car meets all our needs. We have not needed to use AWD yet but the 4 wheel lock option sounds like it should get around in Nebraska winters. It is comfortable and reasonably quiet for a small car. Mileage is around 26mpg on the read and 20 in town. We expected better but that is close to the rated MPG. It is a good small car for city driving.
