This Year's Model Updates:

The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is completely redesigned. Larger and a bit more upscale than before, it has a standard 220-horsepower V6 and an optional third-row seat.

Pros:
  • Agile handling, comfortable ride, smooth V6, useful clamshell rear hatch, wide range of features, lengthy warranty.
Cons:
  • Kid-size third-row seat is hard to fold, desirable options buried in packages, a few low-grade plastics.

  • Paint chips and plastic - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I was a happy owner of the 04 outlander and fell in love with the look of the 07. Got a good deal on a sun and sound package demo... I thought, until I noticed the paint chipping and rust on the bottom of the back doors. Went rounds with mitsu only to find that since this is exterior damage that occurred after the vehicle left the lot, it is considered wear and tear. I figured the person driving the demo was abusive, but have learned this is a common problem with the design. This chipping paint is going to look terrible in a year or so. The finishes on the 07 are of a much lower quality than the 04 I previously owned, which has left me with a negative impression of Mitsubishi.

  • Very Fun CUV - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

    Ive had my Outlander XLS V6 4WD for almost a year and 11,000 miles. So far its been a really good vehicle. Fun to drive, handles good, decent fuel economy (20mpg+), and lots of great features. I cross-shopped all CUVs, it came down to the Outlander vs. RAV4 V6. The Outlander won because of better styling and a lot of useful features. I think I like the Outlander even more after driving it for a year!

    Great SUV and a lot of bang for the buck. Performance and gas mileage are great, stereo system rocks! Clean lines and styling. Only knock I give it is relatively high cabin noise at freeway speeds.

    The best looks on the outside. Inside is roomy and comfortable. I have the luxury package, sun & sound, and the accessory navigation package that I cant live w/out. Hard drive based nav is fast and the music server that expels the iPod is cool. It has a powerful v6 engine that outruns those four cylinders. but still very fun to drive. It has the best features in its class. Some standard features are additional costs to the competition. The split open tailgate liftgate is very clever idea that adds the best convenience in cargo handling, unlike those that open sideways with bulky doors with tires on it which blocks your way. The best bang for the buck, best SUV on the track.

  • Very nice car I enjoy driving it - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    It would be really difficult for me to say what I dont like about this car. Everything is in place and works very well. Driving is definitely pleasant. Engine is quiet and IMHO very powerful. I would buy Outlander again, however this time with navigation and video built-in. We have quite a lot of snow during winter and this car works perfectly on icy road. No complaints at all.

  • Outlander paint problems - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    Bought 07 Outie as alternative to Rav4. Liked a lot about the Outie - value, exterior and interior styling, instrumentation, sliding rear seats, tailgate and fun to drive temperament. Not bland. Thirsty in the city, unable to get mileage #s anywhere near what Mitsu quotes, however very happy with highway economy. Paint chipping is something terrible. I have driven vehicles for half a year before first chip, this car had significant paint erosion after a couple of weeks city winter driving pavement. Rocker panels and rear wheel flares need to have some rock guard and durability agent put into the paint. Took vehicle to Mitsu dealer after two weeks ownership and 100s of chips to no avail

  • My new 07 Outlander - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

    This SUV has everything I can ask for, and much more. The engine gives a good response, the handling is superb, and the tech toys are abundant. this truck is way more than I would imagine for the price. The overall package for the price cannot be beaten by any competitor. The Outlander has all the qualities I could want for an SUV.

  • Grandma loves her Outlander - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I love this SUV - have owned it for 15 months. Shopped/researched many brands. Almost bought a VUE or Equinox, then discovered this! What value and so stylish! I often take it to the mountains and it performs beautifully, even in snowstorms!! The gas mileage is fab - my best was 29.4 mpg. I love the display and information panel. Feel safe (both me and my grandkids in the back seat with air bags, especially the curtain and side air bags. Haul lots of stuff - the fold down rear seats and tail gate are great features.

  • Great Job Mitsubishi! - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I love the Outlanders peppy V6 engine. It has a quiet ride and is fun to drive. It also has a great suspension, not too firm, not too soft. It comes with lots of features such as keyless ignition and Bluetooth that are not even available in other makes at this price. It is switchable between FWD, AWD and 4WD. Who else offers this at this price? It has fantastic build quality. Its made in Japan with 100% Japanese parts content. After owning Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan products, Ive got to say Im impressed with the 07 Outlander. Mitsubishi really did well with the design of this product. I can see why this outsells the RAV4 in Japan.

    This vehicles "ups" are the paddle shifters which make for fun spirited runs, aggressive styling cues both in and out, and a fairly decent engine. The "downs" are I personally do not like the choice of interior fabric. It is said to be better for stains, but in fact it attracts more lint and holds in stains/marks worse and takes much more effort to clean and to keep it that way. The 3rd row seat is useless and horribly uncomfortable. Other than the these things, I love that you can fold the rear seats for better room (though I wish they kept the power folding rear seats thats on the Japanese OEM model). Overall Im satisfied with my purchase though its a shame my local dealer is really rude and continues to be.
