Mitsubishi is generally underrated. My 2003 (first generation) gave me 225,000 trouble-free miles. Its reliability sold me on the brand. I'm now driving a 2015 Outlander Sport, and I love it overall. My budget just would not allow me to get the bigger model which I wanted. Like it was said in this review, it not the absolute best choice, but where dependability is foremost, you can't go wrong with a Mitsubishi.

Got a 2014 it's Excellent!! Often the reviews you see for this car are sooo bad and heavily bias toward Volvo, vw, BMW, merc which COST WAY more! FINALLY THANK YOU FOR AN HONEST REVIEW!

Came across many review. This is by far the best I've come upon on Mitsubishi Outlander GT.

@AutoAcademics 6 лет назад

Thank you very much, Kaw Htoo! We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching and if you get a chance, check out some of our other reviews!

I really like Mitsubishi. You get a great value for your car buying dollar. I think people are missing out when they head straight to a Honda, Toyota or Subaru (Bleh) dealer without trying the Mitsu. There loss I guess....It happens to people in a lemming train.

@erudolph 7 лет назад

Excellent Review. I still have a 2007 Outlander LS with the same engine and it is still running very well. I am looking at the 2017 model and your review is very helpful. Thanks. :-)

@kmckenzie2461 7 лет назад

One of the most honest reviews of this SUV I have seen! Thank you for pointing out the positives and negatives and all the features it comes with. Mitsubishi's are reliable vehicles and come with an awsome warranty, we love both of ours (2015 Mirage ES, 2016 Outlander Sport GT AWD). Plus they offer nice rebates on a regular basis (I believe $3,000.00 on the Outlander right now) so you get alot for your money. Thanks again for this awsome review!!! I subscribed! Keep the videos coming!!!

@kmckenzie2461 7 лет назад

Great review!!! I absolutely love how you went through all the features of the Outlander. I love Mitsubishi and I had no idea some of the features this year had, thank you! It would be great if you could review the Mirage GT or Mirage G4 SE. I have owned a 2015 Mirage ES and now own a 2017 Mirage G4 SE and love it. Your reviews are very upbeat, honest and you go over everything in detail. Keep up the great reviews!!!

Thank you for a fair and honest review. I ended up buying 2017 Outlander GT after spending a lot of time and I found many "expert" reviews were critical. They lacked one key difference which you stated "what's important for you" and "take good with the bad". I wanted safety; reliability and seating choice which this vehicle offered at a very competitive price.

Needed a second car for Travel baseball with 2 kids and 2 dogs. Traded in our Jetta for this exact truck, year, model and color. I have had it 2 weeks and put 1200 miles on it. Rides great, decent on gas, plenty of pick up, comfortable and roomy. Picked it up for 19,995 with 60k miles. The only thingsbI wish were better were the on center steering, which is numb and lose and the button feel on the LDW and Proximity button. Other then that it's a great truck so far and ours even came with rear seat DVD player, now I wish I kept my DVD collection. Lol.

@AutoAcademics Год назад

Thanks for sharing, Thomas MacGruber. And NEVER throw out the DVD collection! 😂 Thanks for watching!

@blackralliart5228 Месяц назад

Bought ours around the same time as you! It was $21000 with 58k miles. Comes with a 6 year unlimited mile powertrain warranty for $3000. So in total $24,000.

@rc0018 7 лет назад

I have a mostly highway driven 2015 GT Outlander and I will say that when I turn off ECO mode, I get more response and jump from sitting still. My MPG isn't as good - but really only by 1-2 MPG. Also for passing - I've taken to using the paddle shifters to downshift and get good torque boost... VERY nice review though - I think all the observations are pretty much spot on!

@1Choom 3 года назад

Do you still have your outlander gt?

@curlymanjordan 4 года назад

Thanks for the review .. why does everybody go over every detail of the car but skip out on power ? Is it laggy is it powerful? Enough acceleration. Is there enough power on hold . While passing 18 wheelers on highways can you go from 70 to 80 easily or do you have to nearly red line it?

@kylesoler4139 5 лет назад

My parents own a silver 2011 LS that was handed down from my Grandfather when he passed in 2015 (it was an ex fleet vehicle brought in late 2014 I think), so far we haven't had any major issues.

@gregorynofsker7554 4 года назад

Mine typically averages 26 mpg on a tank when mostly in eco mode running Shell/BP gas (premium recommended) & Lucas Fuel Treatment but has hit just over 28 mpg on a tank. This higher mileage occurs when running around 40 to 50 mph. On interstate running 70mph mileage drops to around 25 mpg in eco mode. Normal mode is more spunky but mileage typically falls to 24 mpg or less.

My wife has a 2016 Outlander that we bought new and when we purchased it I didn't care for it at first but 5 years later this car has done everything and more we have asked for. 60,000 miles with zero issues only routine maintenance! I'll definitely keep my eyes on Mitsubishi going forward!

You earned a subscriber here too! I enjoyed the review. It really showed what made this Mitsubishi worth it. I don't need the 7 seats personally and I am heavily comparing this and the Subaru XV. Maybe please do a review on the Subaru XV Crosstrek. Regards. :)

@AutoAcademics 7 лет назад

Thank you very much, Jon Eds! We truly appreciate your support. We've just recently begun to receive Subarus for testing so hopefully we'll be able to do a Crosstrek soon. Thanks, again!

@mojojoedwards 7 лет назад

a comparison between this and the XV on sand dunes would be awesome :D There are quite a lot of expats like me in the middle east who look for a cheaper alternative than a land cruiser/patrol. There are heaps of reviews over here but all are in Arabic. Having it in English certainly does help! Cheers mate, keep up the good work.

@ryansvloggingit5492 7 лет назад

can you do a review on a dodge journey crossroad and tell me your outlook on it is it better price wise over a Mitsubishi oulander

@emaPug 7 лет назад

I have one, only one thing that I didn't agree with you was the Bluetooth connection. I have a samsung phone and it only took me 1 minute to set it all up, never used the control activation. The third row seats could be comfortable for smaller people, but if you are on the average height it may start getting a bit cramped out. Thanks for the review!

@AutoAcademics 7 лет назад

No problem, emaPug. We'll have to give you a call to help us set the Bluetooth up next time. LOL Thank you for your comments and for watching!

so looking for something 3rd row that can fit 3 car seats. Trying to keep things in the upper 20s low 30s as far as price what's everyone recommend. Ik mini van but trying to avoid cuz we lie the outdoors and not looking like weirdos at our early 20s

@ivanlowjones 7 лет назад

There seem to be a lot of empty spaces for missing options on the dashboard and steering wheel. Is this the highest trim level?

@AutoAcademics 7 лет назад

Yup. That's all she got, which was quite a bit for a vehicle of this stature. But we're not sure what those extra spots were for, either. Maybe they were leftovers from the EVO parts bin?

@foxtrot685 7 лет назад

J High those are for other options that are on the PHEV outlander and not the conventional gas outlander. also, one of the blanks is for the auto stop and go for the engine that we also don't get in the states. it's not indicative that the vehicle is ill equipped.

@palebeachbum 6 лет назад

Is this the same 3.0L V6 Mitsubishi has been using since the early 90's in the 3000GT and Chrysler vehicles?

@AutoAcademics 6 лет назад

We honestly can't say, palebeachbum. Sorry we couldn't help, but thanks for watching!

@crazyjkz 6 лет назад

palebeachbum No, this is Mitsubishi's 6B31 3.0L V6 which is an all-aluminum motor with MIVEC and variable-length intake manifold. It was an all-new design that was first introduced in 2006 and was updated in 2010 with a higher compression ratio along with a few other upgrades. The 6G72 3.0L V6 was from the old Mitsubishi Cyclone V6 family which was an iron-block w/ aluminum heads, and it was used in some Chrysler models as well and it came in various displacements up to 3.8L.

@Zach-uq6tp 6 лет назад

I miss the 3.8l v6 mitsubishi had. It was a beast.

@crazyjkz 6 лет назад

Zachary Valenzuela I agree. From a performance standpoint they would have been better off just updating the 6G75 3.8L MIVEC V6 that was in the 4th gen Eclipse GT. But given this new V6 has only been used in crossover SUVs I think Mitsubishi was looking for greater fuel economy, lower emissions, and a more modern design over the previous V6 family rather than raw power & performance. If that was their reasoning then they did achieve their objective, but at the expense of the above-average performance that the previous 3.8L MIVEC V6 had.

@pduarte3550 6 лет назад

@biukucanoe 7 лет назад

what if the nearest dealer is 70 miles away for warranty repair?

@AutoAcademics 7 лет назад

Believe it or not, we know people who do just that, biukucanoe, but in many cases it is with higher-end brands that will pick the car up for you. We admit, it does make things a bit more challenging, especially for routine maintenance/service/dealer visits, but if that's the closest dealer to you, sometimes that's a decision you have to make. Maybe compare the pros and cons with a 2nd choice vehicle that has a dealer near you and see which one outweighs the other. We wish you well with your decision-making process. Thanks for watching!

@biukucanoe 7 лет назад

These are a very good deal, we were looking at $18,000 for 2016 with 8,000 miles and could get brand new clearanced ones for $20,000 that was nicer than $25,000 CR-V in April. This is ranked low by some magazines, but it looks nice outside and inside and drives well, but we were turned off by 70 mi drive to dealer - our city does not have Acura or Lexus either. Since we drove that one I notice we drive by one of these rigs about 2 times a day so other people in town don't mind as much. The 4 seemed better than either crV, Venza or Sorrento, and has emergency 3rd row.

@jimmaccari1489 4 года назад

Mitsubishi make the best 4wd and makes more EV cars than Tesla and Nissan combined. I have a Delica Mitsubishi 4wd van (check out the videos on youtube for 4wd Delica) its a diesel and gets me averagr 37 mpg highway and 26 city.
