Great value: never once had an issue. The engine is perhaps not as powerful as on higher end SUVs, but in return you get a decent fuel economy. Very comfortable and practical car, has served my family (with 2 kids) perfectly for 6 years with many trips, including several into the mountains with snow at wintertime (with simple all season tires). Great traction, never needed chains. Also comfortable and roomy.

105 K and still looks good

A really great car from a really poor company/dealership system. Too bad because otherwise I would buy another.

If you are looking for a great SUV in my opinion the outlander is you best choice. I had my 04 outlander for 7 years and put over 229k on mine. Drove it across the country and never had any issues with it what so ever. I was involved in a major head on crash in it and walked away without a scratch. That SUV saved my life!!!

Purchased my outlander with 93k, now at 109k. So far no issues, smooth ride, decent gas mileage overall solid car for $7500. I was told there may be suspension issues with this model, but nothing too serious from my experience so far. It's put a smile on my face and would recommend to buyers looking to spend under 10k on a crossover with lots of room for storage. If this car had either a turbo or V6 it would be 10x better lol.

I bought my 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander used in 2006 with 20,000 miles on it. I've never had ANY issues with this car other than the scheduled maintenance. I only gave it a 4/5 on performance because the 4-cylinder makes it hard to drive up hills.

I bought my 2004 Outlander brand new. I don't usually buy new cars and I was a devout VW person. I bought the Outlander because I was starting a new business, needed a car and I didn't want to be distracted by used car pailings. so I bought the cheapest new car I could find. I spent all of $15,000. I have NEVER had anything go wrong with this car. I have only spent money on brakes, oil changes and tires. The cost of ownership has been spectacular. I will never buy a German car again, too pricey to repair and even for regular maintenance.

I have owned the vehicle for only 6 weeks, but have subjected it to all manner of tests and scrutiny. It has only done 106,000 kilometers, looks immaculate inside and out, is very comfortable, handles well and is perfect in every respect bar one -- suspension (or shocks). No one can find anything wrong, yet while very smooth on good roads, smallish bumps and accompanying road noise suggest very rigid suspension. Is this a characteristic?

I can't believe I've had the Outlander for over five and a half years now. I only planned to keep it three or four years but it is still running well and not giving me any headaches. It has not been in the shop for much of anything besides normal maintenance. It handles very well in the snow - I will not go back to FWD. The gas mileage has stayed around 22 mpg.

We bought our Outlander new in 04. We have had 2 problems. 1, the power port stopped working. Replaced fuse and no good. 2. It stalls every now in then, and then it starts up fine. A few weeks later, it will stall and then be fine. Other than that, it has been a pretty good vehicle. We have been from TN to FL, TN to ME probably 20 times and the Outlander goes fine. If I could change one thing it would be the suspension. I think it needs to be a little beefier. With a heavy load, the front end gets light and it feels top heavy. Would I buy another one? Me no, my wife yes. I enjoy a bigger vehicle, but for the "soccer mom" it is fine.

Bought this car used four years ago with 21000 miles and have 103000 on it now. It has been an almost perfect car. Nothing but regular maintenance has been required and it is an easy and even fun car to drive. Some reviews talk about a lack of power, but I have found the acceleration to be sprightly and the only time wishing it had more umph! is when loaded to the gills and trying to pass on a hill. This is the first Mitsubishi I have owned, but if it is a representative sample I am very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to get another when I need to replace this one.

Very reliable, nice looking

I bought this car one year old with 12,000 miles, and it has served me well. Aside from a cooling fan that runs for a short period after the engine is turned off (I ignored the recall), I've had no problems. It's comfortable, zippy, handles well, and the cargo space with the back seats down is plenty long. Wish it were a little higher, though. I had considered a 2004 Ford Escape (too pricey) and a 2004 Honda CRV (not long enough). I'm happy with my pick. My only complaints are that the sheet metal is thin (dings easily), the in- town mileage isn't great (I get about 17 mpg on a 4-cylinder engine!), and wind pulses through the car when the back windows are down.

Overall excellent vehicle. Seats were uncomfortable on longer rides. Safety. Labor day weekend I had a rollover accident, going approximately 50 mph. We wound up on the roof. All 4 of us (ages 72, 69, 65, 59) walked away! Only the windshield broke. 3 of the doors and the tailgate opened so we could get out. The insurance company totaled it. The outlander is safe! We bought a 2008 outlander a few weeks later.

Great car for the money!

Overall, I like my outlander, but my paint started fading within 2 years of owning it. I took it to the dealer who told me it was because of the "texas sun". Needless to say, it is paid off now, 4 years old and looks pretty shabby on the outside. All the plastic parts are more pink than red. I am not happy. But, the interior is nice, laid out well. I have room for my car seat and one other adult in backseat. Cargo room is sufficient for a smaller suv. I am unhappy that at 50,000 miles I am considering A NEW PAINT JOB.

I will never make fun of a heated leather seat again, I can't live without them! I keep warm and they are easy to clean up after the dog has been in the car with her muddy paws! Sporty, clean look, fun to drive, easy to maintain! And not bad at all on gas & I drive all over town! And I got a heck of a deal( New ) and will buy this model again! I strongly suggest it to you! You can't go wrong! And it kinda looks like the Lexus SUV, hehehe!

I have been continously suprised by the performance of my Outlander. We recently came over the mountains in the snow and the car performed remarkabley. I am able go faster than is safe and able to get up to speed and keep up with other higher performing cars that is acceptable. My wife and I purchased this car for her benefit, she wanted a car she was comfortable with in terms of size. I initially wanted to get the endeavor, but I think the outlander was a better purchase in terms of cost and efficiency.

I've had it a little over 3 years now, been consistent with my regular maintenance and have not had one issue with it -- it's been great through all the crazy weather CT throws at us -- heat, cold, rain, snow, ice. For its size, it gives you enough of a height above the traffic to make you feel comfortable but not feel like you're in a tractor trailer! Definitely am happy I made the decision I did and "loving it"!!

I love this SUV. I drive it 30,000 miles a year and has 95K on it now and still runs like new. I have used it to haul my small camper and have really abused this car, but it continues to work like a dream. While its design is pretty extreme, it allows the car to look as new and trendy as the other crossovers being released today. I will keep this thing forever if I can, and if it dies, it am so pleased I am likely to go out and purchase another Outlander.

I have driven Mercedes all my life. A few months before my lease on a 230 Komressor SLK expired I started SUV shopping. I test drove multiple makes and models and out of all of them, the Mitsubishi Outlander was the best. It met my requirements for price, fuel economy, warranty, speed, design, and usefulness. After test driving a bunch of SUVs in it's class I fell in love with my Outlander. Great job Mitsubishi!!!

I have had my eye on this type of vehicle for some time and decided to take one for a test drive. The Outlander is smooth, comfortable and very quiet. I have been driving minivans for the past 11 years and it was time for a change now that it is mainly just my wife and myself when we take a drive. I am counting on getting better fuel economy as well.

I used to have a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport which I absolutely loved. However, the Mitsubishi Outlander is a nice change because of the larger interior space and more height for better visibility. For those who are taller, the slope of the windshield can make it a little difficult to see. It handles fine, but if you are changing from a car, be prepared for different handling. The steering is very responsive.

Overall, very satisifed

My wife and I bought our Mitsubishi Outlander as our first child was about to be born and both of us had coupes. We searched and searched and found ours. Neither of us like the big gas guzzling SUVs, but needed something with a little more space and access, The Outlander has just enough of everything...gas mileage / space / style.

Bought this car thinking it would be a good median for everything, I was wrong. I have had the car for 6 months and its been in the dealership 5 times (3 for problems). Most noteably is an engine rattle that seems to come and go. The car sounds like a 12 year old Buick. This was a sad regrettable purchase. Just about everything else in the car rattles to, and I have babied the car...

bought a 1 year old outlander for my sons 16th birthday (23,000 miles). it was the car of his choice. i was a bit skeptical at first but once i drove the car and looked at the interior features (sound system quality, seating, etc) along with the performance and fuel economy, i was impressed. we make long trips (500+ miles)on the interstate once a month. this car runs along at 80-85 mph with little or no wind noise and the motor is so smooth! in 6 months my other son will be getting his license. trying to find a follow up to this car will be difficult.

So far so good. This car is fun, has great pickup, and handles very nicely. Of all the SUVs I tested, I think this one comes out on top. Some had more space but not enough to over take the pluses of the Outlander. After 1000 miles I feel positive that I made the right choice. The warranty upgrade also made this an easy pick. Performance + handling + warranty = sold. After 3 tanks I'm getting around 22 mile to the gallon. This is a split between highway and city.

Scared off by CRV oil fire. Then almost went for a Vibe for the mpg, but my husband thought it felt like a toy car. We all love our black Outlander. Kids think it is roomy and hip. I have loved driving it - sporty and classy. Got 26 mpg on first tank. This is more fun than a CRV and cheaper. Nice to be a bit unique on the road.

I like the waterproof compartment in the trunk area. The trunk are could be just a little larger. The gas milage could also be better as well as the pick up. Otherwise, I am enjoying my new vehicle.

I have enjoyed my first SUV experience with the Outlander. I was not looking for an off the road vehicle but for good gas mileage, ability to transport goods from time to time and comfortable ride. I got it all with the Outlander. It has decnet acceleration but I don't want a car to go 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds. I am a point A to B type of guy and this Outlander has suited me well. Gas mileage is 25 or better with mostly highway miles. I am a big guy and I am quite comfortable in the drivers seat. Passengers have remarked they are very cozy in the passenger seats. I looked quite a bit before I bought and the Outlander has worked well for me!

This is a great car for people who want the SUV look, but the ride & handling of a sedan. It's very sporty and fun to drive, this is our fourth Mitsubishi and we love it.

I'm a 5Ft female and I have found this car to fit my size perfectly. I have owned a Tracker and Forester recently (both totaled in accidents by a 17yr old driver in the other car) but I can see great with this car and I'm not on top of the steering wheel which I was in the other cars. I have also previously owned two Colts which were built by Mitsubishi and they never let me down. I am expecting the reliability of the Outlander to be the same. I have owned it for 5 months so far and am very impressed with it. I park at a local commuter train parking lot and have noticed other commuters making an effort to see what model car this is. Very stylish.

Awesome Sport Ute!!!

I purchased an Outlander XLS with the Sun and Sound Package for only $18,864 at Price Mitsubishi in Greenville, Texas. The dealer was great! I love the vehicle. The interior design is awesome and everything about the car feels as good as it looks. I also received the new warranty as well as free scheduled maintenance. I'm still waiting to see what kind of gas mileage I'll get, but so far it doesn't guzzle gas like a larger SUV. This is a sharp looking and comfortable vehicle and can easily get five adults to the movies and back without causing any arguing!

this suv, but it is really a small station wagon, handles great, rides smooth, but scratches very easily. If you put a fingernail on it, you will get a scratch. if you buy one, get a light color like silver or white. Mileage is very poor compared to other similar sized vehicles. i don't think they were truthful saying 20/27. I get 19/22, if i donot run the air

We intended on purchasing a Ford Escape. The salesman said we couldn't afford it, even w/2 trade-ins. We were disappointed. We liked & checked out the Honda CRV & Nissan Xterra. We took the Outlander for a 24hr test drive. It actually feet like a 6cyl! The exterior is similar to the Lexus RX300. I got used to the interior, not much to look at. We liked the Pontiac Vibe's interior better, but it sounded like a wind-up toy. The Outlander has a nice amount of space. You don't see too many on the road. Purchased for $21,000 & 5,000 miles + warranties.

I was looking for performance, comfort and style that would take four people. The Mitsubishi Outlander XLS 2WD was the best in the $20,000 range. I've driven it more than 2,000 during the first month of ownership and average 24 mpg/city and 29 mpg/highway. All that and a super warranty, too!

I have owned my Outlander for 8 months and have had no problems with it at all. Complaints would be less than stellar gas mileage at around 20mpg, and a paint and clear coat that seems to scratch quite easily. I just came home from a 2000 mile road trip, mostly highway driving, and the trip with my wife and two kids was quite enjoyable. The car was a little cramped with all of our stuff. Part of the trip was in very heavy rain at over 70mph, and the Outlander AWD held the road with no problem. I love the cupholders, the powerful Air Conditioning, the cruise control, and the stereo. All things considered I would buy this car again,

This car has a bold appearance,Its something that makes people want to look,with features such as a rear spoiler,sleek headlights and clear coated rear lights and sunroof- the frame is not boxy at all. This car will make you feel like your driving a sportscar with all the amentities plus its all wheel drive and slapstick gearshift.Finally,an SUV for people in their 30's. It has a 4 cylinder engine- HOWEVER, you can go up a hill with your a/c on full blast and you lose no power! It has a spacious and comfortable interior with ample hauling space when rear seats are down. If you like your music, Then the 240 watt infinity stereo will send pulsing bass through

I have 8000 ml and only problem I had - wheel aligment. Since the first day (tried to make make myself think, that the road is always drifts to the right). However the dealership was able to fix this, but since it's so common issue with Outlanders, Mitsubishi has something to think about. Other than this there is only excitment and pleasure. Strong AC (live in Florida), comfortable driver seat, lots of room for rear passengers. Looks agressive, stable cornering and holds the road well.

Love at first drive.

My wife and I have not had this vehicle for long but we just got back from driving it on vacation and we both love it. Plenty of power, low road noise, no water leaks, standard sportronic automatic transmission is easy to use and works great. My wife loves the style and has been asked about it by a lot of people when she fills it up. I can't keep her out of it now. This is the third Mitsubishi we have owned and they all have been great, a vastly under-rated brand. We checked the Toyota RAV 4 and the Honda CR-V also but the Mitsu beat them in the areas where it counts. If you want to stand out in a crowd try put this machine on your shopping list.

When shutting the doors, the sound is very cheap. Mileage is way way way off what is claimed. Transmission already feels like it is slipping. Stereo sound is not clear. Fog lights are for appearance only, they serve no other purpose. All things considered I paid way too much for a 4 cylinder car. And I did my research on your sight!!! Shame on you.

I'm coming off owning two 4x4 trucks which were both underpowered, and needed an AWD vehicle that could haul a some equipment on the inside. I took a chance on the Outlander because it seemed like it had a lot of value. It's been 3 months now and this car is more than I ever thought it would be. Incredible power, awesome auto/stick, very quiet ride, no flaws that I can find.

My Outlander is my baby. I have never been happier with a car/suv and I've had a few now. It's classy looking, comfy and stylish on the inside, gets excellent gas mileage and is a decent size for a compact suv. I have the XLS and love it. I thought about the sun & sound package (sunroof/Infinity sound system) so that I could get the Infinity sound system but opted against it after hearing the comparable factory system. I won't say it's Infinity, but it is a good system nonetheless. The price was more than reasonable. You also get a nice ride out of it and I find mine pretty quiet-never have to raise my voice to talk to other passengers.

After driving a Chevy Avalanche for two years, I needed a vehicle with better gas mileage. After test driving about 10 small SUV's, I decided on the Outlander. In three weeks and over 1500 miles, the vehicle has been fantastic. Fun, easy & comfortable to drive, plenty of power (I don't do 100MPH), great in the snow & ice, and it looks good too. For under 20K, it has all the features that I need.

This is our third Mitsubishi and we have been very happy with all three. This has to be the best so far. It replaces a 2001 Spyder GT which was not being used. The Outlander has the power we need with the convienience of all wheel drive which comes in very handy during Pennsylvania winters. My wife is no longer afraid to drive in the snow, she now enjoys it. We don't even miss the Spyder, this is as much fun to drive. Would highly recommend this SUV. We chose this over Honda's CRV and Element

Owned a 01 Ford Ranger with a drunkardly thirst for fuel. Surprised when I drove the 4 cyl Outlander how much faster it was than the 6 cyl Ford (and they don't weigh that much apart). Better handling than the Ford, corners better, accelerates better, and has more room for passengers (I had the extended cab and if you think you can get 2 people back there, dream on).

After happily owning a 2002 Gallant (first Mitshubishi) that died in a car accident I Decided to try out the Outlander. After Driving the offerings from Honda and Toyota I found the overall feel, comfort and styling to be supioror to the other small SUV's. I must admit that there was some appeal to having something that is a little more "unique". I drive 35,000+ miles a year for work and I have already been on two long road trips and I have found that this is a great road trip vehicle from it's powerful stereo to having a little extra space for a bicycle and such.

I wanted a mid size car that could get thru the snow in New Jersey. This car is it! I have always purchased Chevy's, not anymore, this car is great. It handles perfectly in the bad weather and I like the option of manual shifting. I am not an expert in the snow, but this car give me alittle more confidence driving in bad weather.

This car is great

Every thing on this car is awsome. The only downfall is that it sucks on the freeway.

A great small SUV

We bought our Outlander in Sept-03. We both love it and it drives great. We live in northern Idaho and we got 2' of snow this winter. The Outlander went thru it like a dream. We were not thinking of buying an SUV but the price was right and we liked the looks of the car and its many good features. We are glad we purchased the Outlander.

So Far So Good

I have owned the 2004 Outlander for about a month now. I absolutely love the appearance of it from all angles including the "pointy" front which somehow doesn't look as nice in photographs. The bucket seats are comfortable and roomy. The radio controls are just fine. The many storage spaces throughout the vehicle are well placed and designed, inluding the cup holders with room for coffee cup handles. I have not yet had the chance to calculate my gas mileage but I estimate it to be in the low twentys. The all wheel drive with sixteen inch rims really seems to hold the road even in the rain. It's a great little SUV!

Good Value, Nice Ride

This Outlander made an immediate impression on me and my wife. The first thing that stood out was the fit and finish of the interior. Nothing about this car feels or looks cheap. Looking at the front end it has a more aggressive appearance, but the rear end doesn't seem to match. The performance is good for a four- banger. It's nimble on the curves, and 160 horses come in handy when passing or getting on the freeway. On smooth surfaces the road noise is nominal and you'd swear you were driving a six. Engine noise is nicely buffered too. I'm averaging around 22 mpg with plenty of city driving. The mpg drops if you use the Sportronic shifter.

I really broke it in!!!

Within the first week of owning this vehicle, I drove it from Milwaukee, to San Bernardino, CA and then to Santa Clara, CA, then back to Wisconsin. I loved it. The only thing that it struggled with was on mountain roads of Colorado and Utah. The semi-trailers were passing me up!! But other than that, it handled the roads very well especially in rain storms. Never got uncomfortable riding/driving in it either for over 4,000 miles!!!

Great.......

I think the Outlander is the best buy for your money. It gets great gas mileage but it still has plenty of power. It handles great, it is lower to the ground then some of the larger SUV's and it doesn't feel top heavy at all. The seats are very easy to fold down and the back seats fold totally flat without having to remove the headrests.

my favorite car

I really enjoy this car. It suits my needs to a T. I also enjoy the great mileage I get since I drive a lot of miles every day in town.

This car surprised me

Now we own it. We were going to wait for the x-3 or get a Murano but decided that this was a great deal.

I have had no problems with the SUV, just wish it had more power. Only available in a 4 cylinder. It could use a six for trips up the grades here in california. The transmission is auto/stick, so that helps with the power, all you have to do is slide the gear shift over to be in manual and downshift to 3rd to get up the grade while maintaining your speed. But overall it looks sporty and drives like a car. I love it. Will probably keep it until they wise up and come out with a more powerful model.

Purely AMAZING

This SUV has the looks of a Vamp & drives like a Cloud. I have owned over 150 New cars,trucks and suv's and this one is the most fun to drive. It fits like a glove,solid and smooth. It it is like a Links it goes farward with personified awareness.

SUV-just the right size

I traded in my subaru WRX wagon because I needed something bigger and cheaper (to fuel and to insure). While I loved the performance of my WRX, it wasn't a car that was easy to drive. And two adults in the backseat were definitely cramped. The Outlander has a big trunk but also room for adults in the backseat. The controls (cruise, radio, etc.) are easily accessible for the driver. The XLS comes with most of the options I wanted; I upgraded to the sunroof and enhanced radio package, though. The additional speakers sound great. The sunroof is a little clunky-fully open doesn't seem that open.

Outlander is great!
