Great Car! Would love to buy the newest model of the car. Great for hauling stuff as well as for comfort. Over 300,000 miles on the car and it's still going strong!
Perfect for those who want the hauling power of a truck but the comfort of a car.

Mitsubishi Outlander is a Great car and would buy again.
Great little car. Sometimes has issues getting up big hills but for a 15 yo car it is doing great. I have had it since 2011 and have had no major problems. Just brakes but I live in a hilly area so all cars here need breaks. Moonroof stopped working and too expensive to fix on such an old car so can't use it anymore but that's ok.

I love how much my car holds and is able to haul.
My Mitsubishi is very reliable. Has over 200k miles and has needed very little service work other than normal tune ups. The capacity is great, able to fit a lot of items in it. Was able to move our daughter into her dorm with one trip. Also, love that it gets good gas mileage.

The most important thing people should know is that it gets the job done.
I really like the spacious size and the gas mileage is really great. What I do not like is that it is an older model so there are issues coming up (as with any older car). I will stick with this brand for sure in the future.

Excellent quality and service.
I bought in 2004 and I have never had mechanical problems, it is comfortable and all my cars have been Mitsubishi, I recommended to all people that brand of vehicles for their quality and service and prices. From me buy another car, I buy Mitsubishi because I trust in the quality. I must emphasize that I give it good maintenance every three or six month.

This car is old and isn't worth getting.
The car is really old and does not perform well. It vibrates a lot on the steering wheel. The air conditioning also doesn't work anymore. This also might be because the car is salvaged. The engine also stops sometimes so it is a worry that the car will stop one day if it is driven to far places.

Family car for family trips.
It's a foreign vehicle from japan. Parts can be hard to find for a foreign vehicle but if you know a used parts place it's easy to find what you need. Drives smoothly and can go long distances. Good travel car. Big enough for a newborn and toddler car seat. Good family car. If you keep up maintenance the vehicle will last a very long time. Automatic with power windows and a windshield wiper for rear window during the wet season. Cruise control feature is nice to have for those long distance traveling and long stretches of road.

The most important thing others should know about the vehicle is that that it is spacious.
I like that my vehicle is a crossover. It is very roomy. I do not like the gas mileage.
