Why do they always put someone that hates the vehicle, in charge of making a video about the vehicle they hate. This guy thinks he is miles above this vehicle and you can tell he hates it. This is a good economical vehicle for a young family. They are reliable and get good fuel mileage. This vehicle is far from a high priced SUV.
He's being honest, I appreciate it. I'm still considering one but you need to understand what you are getting. Not over sell it like it's something it's not.
I have a Mitsubishi Mirage . I work doing deliveries at this moment because of the pandemic . I never thought I would have to use my car for delivery , however I lost my job. Here is the thing; I drive 200 miles PER day , and my Mitsubishi Mirage has no problems at all. I spend around 16$ to fill the tank .. while my friends are spending 60$ to fill a tank for a truck.. what can I say? Is Mitsubishi Mirage the most cool looking car ?? Absolutely not . Do people make fun of me for owning one ? Absolutely yes . But , ask yourself, my car brings me money , and less time of work for me . Does their cars bring them income at home and more time of enjoyment? At the end of the day we buy car for the freedom . Do we ?
My in-laws have a 2018 Outlander Sport. They love it. I have driven it several times on longer trips and find it quiet and comfortable. I am actually thinking about the manual version for my next car. Mitsubishi gets a lot of heat from professional reviewers because their models aren't the newest and have switched to primarily an all SUV lineup (minus the Mirage/Mirage G4). But Mitsubishi has been using versions of these engines for years and are reliable.
I have the 2018 Outlander Sport Se I have not have one problem Not one MPG is better then advertised 32-35 mpg on the highway depending on how fast I drive Everyone dumps on Mitsubishi except those that actually own one.
I have a 2015 I bought as a commuting car. I like that fact that you can turn off the AWD when you don't need it and go front wheel drive. It does terrific in the snow up here in NH, gets about 28-30 mpg. It's been a great little car!
I think you'll be pleased with yours for many years. We've got a 2015 that we think is great. Zero problems. A base model RAV4 was going to cost more that what was actually paid on our GT. RAV4 is nice, but not that nice.
The best thing Mitsubishi has going for them is reliability. I have owned two and I currently own a 2013 lancer gt with over 100k miles and I have never had to fix anything at all in the car. Only maintenance
That's great but they are missing some great options in the vehicles that all the competitors have. They must equal at least their competition or they'll stay in the lower 1/2 of ratings.
@@leeg3784 well it's all about the money. For the price point Mitsubishi is usually very well equipped compared to cars in the same price range. Also many manufacturers sacrifice mechanical parts of the car in order to be able to afford gimmicks and features to attract buyers. Like independent rear suspension and disc brakes among others.
@@leeg3784 more features means more things to break in the future and to be honest, for day to day driving, you dont need that much either, and this CVT model is known to be reliable (i dunno what scotty kilmer told you), but some ppl here in indonesia still have the car running the same CVT from 2012 with over 200k miles on the clock and still runs great
Awesome honest review! I just bought the GT this afternoon, and it’s really good... primarily for shuttling kiddies and commuting in SoCal. Mitsubishi’s warranty is untouchable ...and Made in Japan! 🇯🇵
I have a Mitsubishi Outlander GT and I can tell people from owning my Outlander for over a year that it's the best vehicle I have owned to date. I have taken mine off road multiple times at Joshua Tree, rocky mountain path, and much more. Plus long 8 hour road trips all over and this vehicle starts up like it was nothing. The new refined seats are really comfortable with more soft touch. I highly recommend anyone to buy a Mitsubishi because they will last a very long time and have a excellent warranty to match.
Probably getting one of these soon. I rather love the way it looks over the newer design SUV's like RAV4(ugh) and CRV. It is angular and fairly clean styling and looks awesome in Blue or Black with the black wheel option. I am also not a fan of all these new tiny displacement engines with gasoline direct injection and worse..adding a turbo. Engines with direct injection are WELL known to have issues with valves getting gummed up around 80k-100k miles, or so. Means they require extra maintenance every 20-30k if you want to keep them running optimally, or else performance suffers. This "old" Outlander Sport uses reliable Port injection with no valve carboning issues and no turbos stressing a tiny engine like the new Honda CRVs with their oil dilution issues. Also the price is right on these...22k for a brand new 2.4L & AWD one with heated seats ...and comes in 7-8k cheaper than a fricken base RAV4.
@MrThePrivateer You know how many cars not even 30 years ago had less than 74 hp, quite alot I assure you. The Mirage only weighs 2000lbs and the 3cyl is peppy, especially with a 5speed but doable with the CVT as well. After 6 months of having a used one, theyre a great value for the $. $7600 total for a 2014 with only 45k miles was my out the door costs. Insurance cheap, cost to own cheap, cost to maintain cheap. Its a shitbox for sure, but its fun as hell to drive on tight city streets, u-turning like ah muthafucka and only using 2 lanes is fun. 🤙
@@kylemas2005 I currently have an Elantra and I am done with small FWD cars for now...I am looking for AWD vehicle as my daily. I live in place with terrible winters.
Great warranty and bang for the buck. I own 2 sports & while there slower than my past jeeps they ride better, get great gas mpg. easy to maintain And i think look better than the other compacts. My only complaint is no factory leather option.
This is a compact SUV, not subcompact. The back seat is way too cramped for family use. The rear doors are narrow, don't open wide enough, and the rear setback is positioned very upright. Not terribly hospitable for adults. We've had our 2015 Outlander Sport GT in our household since new. We love it! It was thousands cheaper than a comparable Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4. It's small enough to be maneuverable around the city, but comfortable enough for long trips. We've taken on a few 7hr trips. Although the seats are firm, they are well contoured and properly supportive. We have another vehicle with super plush seats and those leave me with a back ache after about an hour. Can't do trips in that vehicle. Yes, the interior is dated and this vehicle is an old design, but the bugs have been worked out and it's quite reliable. We've had zero problems from it. I don't know where else you can buy an SUV for under $20k with the features this offers and good build quality and reliability. People who don't want this vehicle because of the old design are missing out. Unless you've got money to burn on a Honda or Toyota.
The Outlander is considered a Compact: cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/mitsubishi/outlander and the Outlander Sport is considered a SubCompact: cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/mitsubishi/outlander-sport
Drove it, a lot, manual. Takes off at the light, it can hit nice cruising speeds on the highway. Reliable, built in Normal, IL. It handles a lot better on the after market premium rubbers.
A ralliart trim level would be nice, 2.0L tubo, the one that was in the lancer or the 3.0 v6 that is in the bigger outlander with a torque converted automatic.
It’s been around for ages though it looks better than it did. Was the basis for the old Jeep Patriot. The only reason i would buy one would be price and warranty
I'd say more like they are very "basic" vehicles which, to some could be a very good thing. Not everyone wants a lot of complexity in a new car. These are very reminiscent of the 2007 through 2013 Suzuki SX4's.
No of course it's not sporty. If you think it is or if you even hoped it might be then you don't know what sporty means. It's good at being a reasonable car but that's it.
Mitsubishi should really invest a little more in their interiors. This interior trim level should be called "Depression". Being an inexpensive vehicle really isn't a valid excuse and Kia/Hyundai have proven this.
Mitsubishi tends allocate money towards the drive train vs ammenities. Its why their prices are usually more competitive and theyre reliable. Ive seen alot of 20 year old Mitsus on the road with faded paint and trashed interiors lol, but hey, still running.
magnuscat I actually got a Lyft in one of these since making my earlier comment...I stand by my opinion that their interior quality is holding them back in the North American market HOWEVER, I actually didn't find any other fault with the vehicle. Unsure if it's a direct competitor but found the ride better than the previous gen RAV4's I have been in. I'm a fan of Toyota but HOW that vehicle sold as well as it did blows my mind!
@@hippiebits2071 Brand name recognition goes real far. Toyota, Honda, Nissan will always be king in the states. Mitsubishi is a niche presence in the US market now, which suits them because their over sea sales are huge. For me its that extra 4 grand I saved when I got my Mirage vs the Yaris I was looking at.
Trenton_ A I'm not suggesting Mitsubishi doesn't make decent cars but generally when people pay less they expect less and I think that's realistically a huge factor in consumer satisfaction ratings.
magnuscat Really if that is the case it IS meaningful at least in the case of Mitsubishi which doesn't enjoy the same level of largely blind loyalty some of the other brands do.
@@hippiebits2071 They did enjoy brand loyalty through out the 80s-early 2000's in the US market. Of course that didnt last after the Chrysler dry out, but according to sales articles they have been the fastest growing asian brand 2 years in a row. Not to mention theyre overseas presence in Asian markets is huge. Japan, China, Philippines, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, great brand loyalty from those countries. It helps Mitsubishi has manufacturing in many of those nations.
EZE .O True but I thought they were known for making sports cars and I had a dealership blowing my phone up to get me to come in and the best thing they had was the eclipse cross the mirage is the ugliest 🥴 thing they got I want something that feels like a man car and has some power I was disappointed 😞 even their used cars which were different brand wasn’t cool
The Mirage has kind of become a meme. Mitsubishi gets a lot of undeserved hate; aside from the Mirage they put out a decent vehicle at a great price with a great warranty.
I'm glad they didn't jump on the bandwagon of so many other makes using fake shift points on the CVT. It doesn't shift - I don't need fake shifts to make me feel better about it.
Also nice that these don't have direct injection in their engines in 2019. GDI Causes major issues with valves gumming up and need more maintenance. All in the name of a little bit better better fuel economy.
Id buy this over a crosstrek. Looks more aggressive and engine is easier to work on. I also owned a Evo 9 in the past and it was the most reliable fun car Ive ever owned. Mitsubishis AWD system is one of the best in the market! Can't beat the warranty either.
That's why we have the Honda Accord Sport, Toyota Camry sport, Subaru Outback Sport.....it's every company that just throws the word sport in everything even though in the past and now it has no part in being a sport vehicle with front wheel drive, 2.0 or 1.8 liter engine, and just the same basic vehicle as their counterparts...i think it's such a joke and a waste of money when people buy a Honda accord sport or something like that because all they do is just raise the torque a bit but leave the hp the same and now people can take off faster but with less hp. I think the sport in this Mitsubishi comes from the fact that it can go off road, has different driving modes, and handle more than the avenge Toyota rav4 which itself is just a Corolla that just sits higher and that's all.
Ray A I agree with you, however, the new Accord sport has the optional 2.0t and that’s quite quick. The previous gen Accord sport only had the 2.4 with less than 200hp and a crappy CVT. But pretty much everything is spot on that you’ve said.
My experience from working at Toyota and Kia is yeah a car with a lot of features is nice if you're only keeping it 5 years but if you wanna keep it get less electronic features they won't break over time and if they do won't cost a arm and leg to get it fixed...I can live with opening my truck manually
Same. It doesn't take that much effort to lift up anyways but I understand the appeal of having it open on it own with the help of the kick. Longevity is a big deal however
I have the 2.2 litre turbo diesel AWD with automatic transmission (not CVT). It’s been a very reliable car, averaging 42 mpg. Loads of torque. All I’ve needed to do is replace the rear shocks after 60k miles because the left side was dead. I do a lot of off-road camping. I fitted 20% higher rate coil springs and a pair of KYB shocks and it’s now better than new.
@@stephaniehayden7018 same here, my very first brand new one. Idk about you but something tells me that the 1st one has a STRONG attachment to it especially when it treat well. I'm loving it and I can see myself being very sad to let it go.
Mitsubishi has no reports of high oil consumption. Overall reports of problems are very low. There aren't even any CVT failure reports. This is a big factor.
The interior needs a major overhaul, I own the 2013 version, and this aint much different on the interior. What I do like about it though, is the ground clearance at 8.5" which is nice. And the AWD system works nice, with a AWD lock mode. But yeah, the seats are very uncomfortable for long rides, and even in this 2019 model the interior materials are super cheap
@@gregr2784 yes, that's huge. That's another reason we're looking at it. When I bought my Elantra I chose the one built at the Ulsan factory in Korea and not one made in The US.
I find more and more when watching RU-vid car reviews that the more "features" the car doesn't have, the more I like it. (That's assuming I'm also not being charged for those things, of course). Saying a vehicle is "like a 1990s car" is not necessarily a bad thing to me and to many other people. We don't all need or want fancy "infotainment systems" and "soft touch" dashboards that you never touch while driving anyway. For $20K with a great warranty and a 0-60 time about 20 seconds faster than an old VW Beetle, this thing sounds pretty decent to me.
Any big folks looking at this vehicle it's a decent choice. I'm a large man and I have plenty of room I can even wear my ball cap. I have the front seat pushed all the way back but there's still leg room in the second row. I'm retired and I don't drive much so this vehicle is perfect plus it has decent get up and go also good mileage. I like the way it sits up higher than most cars and it's easy to get in and out of.

I had one I'm from the UK and here it's called the asx and it came with a 1.6 litre 16v with 117hp and Manuel 5 speed gearbox it does 60 in 11.5 seconds and with front wheel drive only unless you got it with the 2.2 litre diesel with CVT gearbox and it wasn't much quicker
@@yourmanzach2307 Mitsubishi, like Subaru has a long history of off road rally racing and have owned the Dakar rally. This translates into engineering know how. On their CUV's like the Outlander Sport for example, you have 8.5 inches of ground clearance and all the parts are tucked up tight out of harms way. In addition, you can select between modes 2wd, 4wd auto and 4wd lock With 4 wheel lock, 50% of the power is directed to the rear wheels. for offroad, sand or mud. 4 wheel auto the car uses traction and conditions to determine the ratio of front to rear power distribution. This is good for icy roads and snow. Most of the competition in this class don't share this ability.
@@intenseextremities1779 I can attest to this after owning a 2004 Outback 3.0, it needed thousands of dollars of repairs after only being at 140k miles.
Owned it over a year. First of all it is not reliable at all. The transmission has issues. The engine is reliable as it should be for an engine this outdated. There is zero refinement. The cabin is full of noise, the interior quality is terrible, fit and finish is bad, the ride is too soft, the power-train is lackluster. I am happy I got rid of this car. Get the Koreans if you want some value. This brand is just cheap!
Sound like you got the wrong kind of car to fit your "needs" from the get go. That's too bad cuz this is a great car for someone who doesn't share the same wishes as you do. Nothing wrong with yours, really but we learn and grow in life too. Its normal
It is, the mitsubishi outlander sport is only named the outlander sport in the USA, in Japan and Canada it's called the Mitsubishi RVR and the rest of the world it's called the Mitsubishi ASX... Same vehicule!!
Too bad this platform hasn't been updated in so long. The Outlander Sport is the perfect size for city driving with enough interior space. I like the more 'simple' aspect. Don't need push button or power liftgate ....
Yep the top trim always did bit they did aways with them for 2019 (audio and moonroof). We have a 2016 GT with them and love it. Dono why they dropped it for 2019 but the redesigned one comes out the end a this year and it is sharp!
Don't drive this car like he does when he's testing the acceleration or you will toast that CVT in no time. Yeah you could get it replaced under warranty but that is such a hassle to go through not to mention the time you will be without your car and when they replace the CVT it won't be with a brand new CVT it will be with a factory rebuilt unit which some of those factory rebuilt CVT's are self destructing within 5k miles of being installed. If you can, forget about the Outlander Sport and move up to the regular (bigger) Outlander and choose the V6 engine which will come with a regular automatic transmission rather than a CVT. Much better set up. The CVT in the Outlander Sport is what kills it.
@@edgaryzen4925 Do they even offer a manual trans for either the Outlander Sport or regular Outlander where you are at? Currently in the U.S. the only vehicle that they offer a manual trans in is the Mirage and even then only in the lowest base model. There is no manual trans option for any of their other models.
These things are so fricking old. Front seats are TERRIBLE - like sitting on top of cardboard on concrete ground. Literally the only good thing about these are the ridiculously powerful n quick air conditioner units in hot climate areas.
