If you are looking for a small SUV with one of the most spacious cargo areas in the category, an optional third-row seat and arguably the best all-wheel-drive system available for a non-luxury vehicle
While the Outlander returns adequate fuel economy figures, the Hyundai Tucson, Chevrolet Equinox and the all-new Mazda CX-5 deliver greater fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the Outlander's taut suspensio
On the road, the Mitsubishi Outlander's excellent steering and brake feel, sport-tuned suspension and supportive front seats deliver a balance of comfort and confidence that will accommodate a range of driving styles. And though many of its competitors like the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape can tackle road imperfections with greater poise, we found the Outlander's lively handling characteristics to be worth the insignificant drop in ride quality. While the standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine is right-sized for basic daily driving tasks, most

"I've had my outlander for almost 4 years now and have been very happy with it. First of all I got an awesome price so it's held its value well. It also has nice perks for a low priced SUV. Good stereo, lots of power and accelleration, decent gas milage, pretty nice looking interior. It also has tons of cargo room. I've carried 3 bikes inside of it, 2 kayaks on top before with enough gear for 2 people. Inside can fit a 4x4 sheet of plywood too awesome. I also really like the fold down tailgate for seating, and the subwoofer/lighter adapters in the back for tailgate type settings. The only concern I have is the plastic door insides look cheap to some and of the build quality on certain parts of the the rear seats is a little weird. Overall this car seems to me to be ahead of it's time and I plan on driving it for many more years."

"A true do it all vehicle. I own a GT with v6 and AWD. Awesome power, 27.8 mpg highway. Kickin' Rockford-Fosgate stereo. Can't believe how well this handles. No body roll, no wallowing in the corners, yet very comfy ride. Normally, I wouldn't buy an automatic trans., but the paddle shifters are fantastic. Lots of room inside for the size of the vehicle. Even put two adults in the third row for a 50 mile ride with no complaints. Would buy this again."
