The quality of this vehicle is poor. The fabric on the seats frayed within 6 months of owning this brand new vehicle. I have also had electrical issues with this vehicle since 3 months after purchase; this includes Bluetooth connectivity and the buttons on the steering wheel not functioning. About 1 year after purchase, the fan motor stopped working for the air conditioning/heating system which I had to leave it at the dealer for over a day. The factory tires only last up to 30,000 miles which I think is a rip off and after 6 months of owning the vehicle they actually came apart and started leaking air which required a replacement. There have been so many recalls with this vehicle, at least one every year including the fan motor I had replaced and numerous belts in the engine. I do like how the vehicle looks, it has a very modern and unique front end and I love the color which is a graphite gray. It is not too big and has just enough space to function. Mechanically it runs okay. It makes strange noises but it still drives. I wish it got better fuel mileage and I think this vehicle was over-priced at $28,000.

I bought my Outlander, used second-hand ten years after it was manufactured. I didn't really have any expectations for it, I just needed something in decent condition that I could afford to buy upfront. I absolutely love it and never thought I would be an SUV person. It currently has 189,000 miles on it, and I still drive it out of state on multiple occasions without any problems, the longest trip being from Pennsylvania to Florida and back.

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander has a high-quality interior and confidence-inspiring safety scores. It's also one of few compact SUVs that comes with a third row of seats, but they're too small for adults. It all goes downhill from there: dull performance, a rough ride, a hard-to-use infotainment system, and subpar predicted reliability.
