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.

  • Great Value - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    4000 km drive to "break it in" showed that the road noise a little higher than we expected; the auto trans can be a little annoying, and it can scoot along with the best of them. The paddle shifter is a fun toy. In auto mode the damn thing is always trying to save gas with a very annoying rpm drop after every up shift. It drops off 500 rpm after the shift?! This is a truck and when I forget that and go romping into a corner at nine tenths it reminds me in in a controlled certain manner. But when dialed back to normal rate this is a very respectable handler well worth the money. Tried all the competitors and this is the best value. No regrets at all.

  • Love it - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

    I have owned Toyota and Honda for the last 30 years and have no complaints. I test drove and researched the Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 thoroughly before reaching the conclusion the Outlander far exceeds these two in quality, ride comfort, and value. The Outlander has great style, a 6 speed transmission that is smooth and perfectly balanced. It is quiet inside and has a fantastic Rockford Fosgate stereo and bluetooth.

  • Great value for the money - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

    I traded my 2003 Infiniti FX45 for an Outlander. I needed a more practical vehicle. The good: I paid $25,000 for a demo model with leather, a sweet stereo, and navigation. It drives like a car, handles OK for an SUV, I love the paddle shifters, the 3rd row comes in handy for kids and short trips, and the fold down tailgate is a great idea. The Bad: It has pronounced wind noise from the drivers side window, it has initial acceleration hesitation, the fog lights cannot be used with hids, and the doors have to be slammed to shut. These are all minor issues. This is a good vehicle overall.

    My wife wanted this vehicle to replace her 04 Outlander, which she loved. Turns out that it gets better mileage than the 4 cyl. and has tons more power. Im not a big fan of the transmission, which hesitates slightly when accelerating from a stop light (almost like a delay between gas pedal and actual go). There are foot wells under the front seats, which are great for taller backseat passengers. We now have 200,000 km on this vehicle (15,000 the first 10 days we owned it) and, aside from a transfer case seal and squeaky rear shocks (both replaced under warranty, it has been regular maintenance only. Changed the plugs last week at $400+, but it was past time. Wife still loves it.

  • Great Competitor - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    Ive had my XLS eleven months now and am very happy with it; no problems yet & going strong. It has a number of features usually found in much more expensive cars, but if Mitsubishi wants the XLS to compete against the higher-end SUVs in its segment, then theyll have to "up the ante"; theyll have to install illuminated vanity mirrors (and improve quality of sun visors), programmable automatic locks, dual express-down windows, real fog lamps, mudguards, driver and passenger power seats, auto-dimming mirror w/built-in compass and HomeLink. With at least these additional features, it would put the Outlander XLS more at the Acura/BMW/Lexus level as opposed to the Honda/Toyota level.

  • My first car is a total winner - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    This is my very first car! Since I got it in January, Ive been very, very, very happy with it. Every aspect is just right. I didnt want to spend a lot of money as I just started working, but just needed a car to move my kid to school and places. Our Britax convertible car seat fits perfectly, and when I tell my friends this new Outlander has the latest-tech rigid anti-crash frame (called R.I.S.E.) as well as six advanced-tech airbags, plus 5-star frontal crash test result from the NHTSA, they are impressed. Great value!

  • Terrific Buy - I Love this Car! - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I bought this vehicle after 6 months of researching several similar small SUVs, like the Rav 4, Hyundai Tucson, Subaru Forester, etc. I found the ride of the Mitsubishi very comfortable, the look very sporty and sleek and the overall driving experience to be superior to the others and the BEST part of this research process was the price piece - the "Bishi" (as my 3 year old calls her) was less than the whole bunch. I have owned the car for two full months and have consistently gotten 20-21 mpg city driving and 26-27 mpg on the highway.

  • Sporty Crossover - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    I drove a lot of crossovers before buying my Outlander. It was the most fun to drive with great handling and awesome acceleration . It has also been one of the most Reliable vehicles I have ever owned . Ive only had it in for repairs for a minor exhaust problem, otherwise just routine maintenance .

    Its fun to drive. Handles very well in curves, even in really sharp curves. It accelerates quick and it is fast for a small SUV. It has a lot of cup holders. It has more than one storage compartment, not only the regular glove box. The seat hugs so you cant slide when turning. It is a fun SUV to drive and cool looking.

  • Much Better than RAV4 and CRV - 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
    By -

    The XLS with all the options easily surpasses both the Honda CRV and Toyotas RAV4. It comes with features one only gets on much more expensive vehicles. Its exceptional value for money and looks great. I spent weeks researching small SUVs and am very happy with my purchase. This car is really a diamond in the rough.
