Used Mitsubishi Outlander for Sale

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 lik... (more)

Story

Being able to use the LATCH system.

Pros

I like the color and body style. The interior being black and gray and having small accents of leather. I like the Bluetooth when it works properly.

Cons

The quality of the parts, recalls, fuel mileage and how the vehicle runs.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander - Travel companion!

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.

Story

Just this past summer, my boyfriend and I, who live in Central Virginia, were invited to a wedding in Panama City, Florida. We were considering the option of renting a nice looking car that we could show off since we were all staying in apartments on the beach that week. Plus, we were a little hesitant with driving a 10+ year old car a thousand miles away from home. We ended up taking the Outl... (more)

Pros

Lasts an incredibly long time if it's well maintained. So much space that you wouldn't necessarily expect just by looking at it from the outside. I've taken it on multiple camping and beach trips, and have setup the back trunk area as a makeshift emergency bed (with the second-row seats still up). I've slept in this thing many times, quite comfortable during long road trips, as well as camping and beach outings. Also, I often drive about seven hours from Virginia to Pennsylvania (a diverse mix of rural, highway and DC traffic) and only ever spend about half a tank of gas each way. Currentl... (more)

Cons

It isn't exactly the most aerodynamic vehicle because of the size and shape, so you do have to be cautious, especially when turning off of a highway ramp. It could look just a little less bulky from the outside, but the space is amazing! My next car is definitely going to be a newer model, and I replaced the stereo console as it was a little outdated even for being a 2007, but otherwise this thing is a beast!

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander - Proud to own it

I was not in the market for a Mitsubishi nor an SUV, but I was persuaded to look at one from a friend who works for the Mitsubishi plant. Upon test driving the vehicle and reviewing all of its features I found myself in favor of the Outlander because of the ease of driving it, the overall size, and the particular features of the vehicle I ultimately selected.

Story

I am newer to the state and area in which I reside. The in-dash GPS has been extremely helpful in navigating the area. One year when going away on business, I let my in-laws borrow my vehicle since they were staying at my house. They are not from the area either. I was able to program local stores and restaurants to help them navigate through town. This was highly valuable.

Pros

The Mitsubishi Outlander I purchased came with a sunroof, which was high on my list of priorities. It also has leather seats which are heated, and power doors and windows. Another feature that I appreciate is the traction selection. Because of the cold winters where I live, having traction for snow is helpful. It came equipped with a multi-media center including in-dash navigation, Bluetooth capabilities, and a Bose stereo system. The vehicle has had no maintenance issues in the three and a half years I have owned it.

Cons

The seats can be a little uncomfortable on long drives. My family travels often, so this has caused some concern occasionally. The optional third row is only a partial row with removable seats. As such, the seats can be difficult to assemble. I would prefer better gas mileage and a larger tank. The tank is only about 13 gallons.
