I like that the lights can be moved up and down if you need them to be adjusted.
The gas mileage isn't really that great but everything else is comfortable. And it drives nice and has good features. Has XM radio. Rear backup camera. It can be manual or automatic. It also has back windshield wipers. It does not have back air conditioning that I wish it did.

Mitsubishi outlander sport is the best SUV that I have owned.
I love the outlander sport as it is easy to drive and has plenty of room in the rear for putting my work supplies. It is good on gas and is dependable for everyday driving and longer road trips. I usually trade cars every few years and decided to keep this car. The air conditioning system works effectively and the sound system is great.

Great in snow, with snow tires.
It gets better gas mileage on premium gas. Don't put ethanol gas in car, mileage sucks. Snow tires make this car amazing in the winter. Love the v6 has lots of power and decent acceleration. The sound system is awesome. The Bluetooth is ok. I prefer a better interface.

Good reliable snow and road vehicle.
My vehicle is stable and reliable in harsh weather conditions. It goes well in the snow. I have plenty of room for my bags and my dog or friends to ride along. Perfect for hauling a kayak. I've had it for one year and I have had a recall. Something to do with a front end control arm or something. Dealership replaced it without a hassle. I would buy again.

2015 Mitsubishi outlander sport.
My Mitsubishi outlander sport is amazing! I have had it for 5 years now. It is drives so smoothly. It does not have any blind spots. The back seat is very comfortable for guests. There's plenty of room for storage and to fit 3 large dogs comfortably in the back.

Not for me but others may have better luck.
My car is a lemon! Not all of these have the list of problems l have had. Normal wear and tear is fine tires and brakes but I have had more. Just replaced the transmission and wheel bearings. But list will continue with other parts because I still have the vehicles.

Reasons why not to be another Mitsubishi sport
It jerks when I put my foot on the gas. You feel everything when you drive it. It's took basic l. It's not a good car. It's feel raggedy when you drive it. I've only had it for 3 years but it feels like I've had for 15 years. It's not a good quality car.

Don't buy one- spend your money on something else.
It has been nothing but headache. Bought it brand new and has had problems since day 1. New transmission in it at 43,000 after repeatedly telling the dealership there was something wrong with it

Transmission is not reliable
I have had multiple issues with the transmission. Transmission has been completely replaced and had to be serviced two additional times since then within a year.
accountCircle Joseph S
My vehicle has a new and expensive problem every other week.
Unreliable car. This car has too many problems including multiple recalls. Very dangerous to drive because the key and gear shift can be moved while driving causing the engine to stop or the car to go into neutral while driving. The power steering also may malfunction causing the car to become impossible to turn, this malfunction will not show up with an error or anything when you take it into the shop to have it looked at.
accountCircle Lisa L
Vehicle has no pick up, very rough ride and many mechanical issues.
It has had at least 5 recalls, broken down once after only having it for 6 months and it is an extremely rough ride.
accountCircle miranda p
It's pretty boring so there's nothing interesting or worth noting about my car.
It's a pretty standard car. There's nothing special about it but it serves it purpose. I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone though.
accountCircle Caity H
It would be a good car if it didn't have so many issues and bad designs.
I have had so many recalls. It wears the tires really bad and I have had nothing but issues with it. From electrical shorts to the tail lights going out and having to replace the entire assembly not just the bulb.. If it wasn't for all the issues it would be a good car. It's pretty roomy and gets good gas mileage.

Quality control seem lacking.
I am starting to have some vehicle maintenance issues including 'vehicle maintenance required' light which shows 'engine running lean' and air conditioner needs a recharge. Also, the interior handle above left driver window has popped out and will not stay when popped back into the holes. I have owned the car five years and expected it to stay in good condition longer than this amount of time.
accountCircle Karen C on June 24, 2021
This is a great vehicle for all types of people. It is dependable & economical.
The back cargo is very small. When I travel it does not hold much. There was a recall on the windshield wiper & I had it fixed, but I do noticed it does not go to the fastest speed right away. Being a 24 engine is speed puck up is ok. Not as great as a 6 or 8 cylinder, but enough to get the job done. It works and everything else seems good.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Mindy C.

I have never had any mechanical issues. I bought this car brand new in 2015. Also, good gas mileage and plenty of storage space available. Looks good and is easy to drive. Plenty of room in back seat for passengers.

likeFilled Lindsay V.

The car gets great gas mileage. It is safe. It has a nice size trunk. The windshield is wide and view is not obstructed. The headlights are very bright and can see great at night. It is light so the car is pretty fast to accelerate.

likeFilled Tabitha D.

The pros are the amount of space both for people traveling as well as for stuff if you do not put the third row up. Also the gas mileage is good and the Vehicle drivers nicely overall. I really like the radio and Bluetooth of the car as well without being too technical to figure out.

likeFilled Thomas M.

Gas mileage. Reliable. Heated seats. Cost of maintenance. Reasonable size. The hatchback CUV design is very useful. Five adults fit. Tires are reasonably priced and it has on acceleration. The paint has held up very well to weather.

likeFilled Gary C.

Good in snow, good sound, navigation system, good trunk space. Stops quickly, great family car, pretty good acceleration on highways manual shifter pads, good gas mileage, higher than a regular car, comfortable head room.

likeFilled Alethea H.

It is a very small SUV. It's comfortable and great on gas. There is enough space in the back for groceries and for other passengers. All the seats in the back lay down so room is never a problem. The pick up of the car sometimes is very slow. However, overall it is an excellent vehicle to purchase.

likeFilled Caceelia M.

The car gets great gas mileage. My car is in diamond white and it is beautiful. I have the gt version which comes with a tow hitch. We installed the all weather feature with mud guards, skip chip, and weather mats.

likeFilled Andrew V.

Great warranty! Lots of modern features like Bluetooth with a touchscreen that also has an aux and USB hookup in the center console, automatic headlights/windshield wipers, adjustable headlights, etc.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Mindy C.

The black hole of death. If you drop literally anything in between the seats, it will never been found again. Also, this is the first car that we've had to change the interior air filter - it seems to get stinky.

dislikeFilled Lindsay V.

It does not have leather seats so it does not have heated seats either. The entertainment system is not very nice. The door locks on the car do not respond to the key fab anymore and it has been taken to the dealership several times.

dislikeFilled Tabitha D.

The cons of the vehicle are that there is no map app for my trim model as the new models have. Also the camera is only a basic camera and is not always really clear. The seats also do not fold flat in the second row to transport large things.

dislikeFilled Thomas M.

Can be tight and lack initial acceleration. CVT fluid change is the one very expensive cost of maintenance. The air conditioning can be a little weak in cooling mode so ack seat can be uncomfortable. The rear seat is not fully removable and makes it hard to install seat covers.

dislikeFilled Gary C.

Bumpy ride, doesn't have gauge with how many miles to empty, only estimates, no way to leave radio on at drive in movies, you can out in auxiliary mode but radio shuts off after time and you have to hit the start button again, tires wore quickly, hard to vacuum under seats, manual seat controls.

dislikeFilled Alethea H.

The only con is the pick up of the vehicle is slow but overall it is an excellent vehicle. There is really nothing bad to say about it because it is the most reliable vehicle I have ever had. You would be happy you purchased it.

dislikeFilled Caceelia M.

When we use the 3rd row seating it can be a bit tight in the back and not much room for legs. When we use the 3rd row seating feature, the cargo space is also smaller. I also wished it had apple play and android play.

dislikeFilled Andrew V.

No power seats. Not automatic rear windshield wipers. No backup sensors. No front crash warning and brake. No lane keep assist. No leather seats. No automatically adjusting headlights. No automatic folding side view mirrors with lane indicator.
