Overview & Reviews
The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander receives its first major update since a redesign three years ago. On the outside, the Outlander has more aggressive styling than its predecessor; changes include new front and rear fascias, hood, fenders and front mesh grille. Inside, there's a new LCD gauge display, real-time traffic for the navigation system and an available "Fuse" hands-free link system that offers audio streaming and voice commands for MP3 players and cell phones. Mechanical changes include a slight power bump for the V6 engine and an upgraded version of the all-wheel-drive system, which is offered only on the new top-of-the-line GT trim level.
- Agile handling, sporty styling, useful rear tailgate/liftgate design, top safety scores, wide range of features, lengthy warranty.
- A few low-grade plastics inside, kid-size third-row seat is flimsy and hard to fold.

Not driven a lot yet , But enjoying it! - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By 1stXmitsuowner - May 21 - 8:03 pmNice sporty ride, tight handling and good MPG so far! Sharp looking and peppy for a 4 cyl. Wish I upgraded to moon roof and R/F sound system. But sound not bad! Bought because of value and warranty. Looked at Kia, Mazda and Ford prior to buying the Outlander!

My First Mitsubishi - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By arelle20 - October 24 - 5:36 amSo far, I am pleased with the handling of my 2010 Outlander. The 3.0V6 is nicely responsive on both city streets, as well as on the highway. Fuel economy is not as indicated on the brochure but that may be the result of my somewhat aggressive driving. With the 230HP powertrain, its so easy to enjoy the thrill of experiencing "G-force acceleration" without breaking any laws. We havent had much snow in our area, so cant say much about the 4WD except that I can hardly wait to put it through its paces.

Very satisfied with my 2nd Outie - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By kurly - March 1 - 10:00 amBefore this one, I had a 2005 model, which I loved, and was devastated when I totaled it in a rollover accident (from which I escaped with just a few minor cuts and bruises!). I couldnt wait to buy another one. I have it in Rally Red and its gorgeous! Its not perfect, though. My air compressor crapped out a few months ago, a common occurrence, apparently. I also have somewhat squeaky brakes, which I had checked out and was told its not due to mechanical defect. Im only at 2300 miles, so maybe it will resolve itself. I also wish that acceleration was smoother when merging and passing on highways. Despite these gripes, six months into ownership, I am very pleased with it. No regrets!

Fun CUV, best bang for the buck - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Noeffectx - February 13 - 1:46 amThe day after I bought my GT, have to take it back to the dealer, because the air compressor got shot, but knowing Mitsubishis awesome warranty, I know I was covered. My local dealer Lasorsa Mitsubishi replaced my air compressor free of charge. I drove 700 miles on it now and I love it. I was considering the Subaru Forrester XTi Limited before the GT, but after I test drove the GTs 6cyl w/ Rockford/fosgate sound systems it was no contest. Best bang for the buck! Outlander GT is the best CUV for the price and performance.

Value - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By old and slow - May 15 - 12:03 pmI researched this very competitive market in depth, many good choices but none were a better value when considering everything. MSRP $24,705 Invoice $23,333 Sale Price $22,199 and received full Blue Book Trade In Value for my trade in. Also, 0% financing for 36 months. Lastly,5 yr bumper to bumper, 5 yr road side assistance, and 10 yr power train warranties. Mitsubishis however dont hold their value as trade ins, so a negative if you will sell or trade in after a few years, with low mileage.

A great value purchase - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Vik - September 23 - 7:00 amWe bought this to replace a 3-series BMW sedan. With a growing, athletic son and two large dogs, we needed to return to having an SUV for toting everyone around. Having previously owned both a Pathfinder and a Highlander, we were familiar with the virtues/vices of both truck- and car- based SUVs. We researched the Outlander thoroughly, and this model is recommended by both Edmunds and Consumer Reports. In fact, this model gets the nod over the 6 cyl, and we agree with that assessment. It is truly a great value purchase: fun to drive, very good technology, comfortable, and highly useful. The vehicle is thoughtfully designed. Yes, they could have used nicer interrior materials.

Value and Excellent driving manners - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By khm2010 - July 25 - 3:16 pmPurchased V6 XLS with luxury package 3 weeks back. Drives like a car has good cornering, road grip and no rolling effect. Does not feel heavy at all. Fuel mileage is as expected i,e 18/25 in 2WD mode but RAV4 has the best class mileage for V6. Like the contrasting leather, fit & finish. Lot of storage locations. Has a good usable cargo space due to length of the vehicle, but to gain more volume wish they made 3rd row seats optional in this package and body wider. 2nd row seats are the best in terms of configuring. Seats are firm , may lost longer.

Love Car but dont buy from Nashua - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Glenn - June 13 - 8:00 pmThis SUV has lived up to the good reviews I read before buying. This XLS AWD V6 handles well on the roads and corners with decent acceleration. I love the options with XLS and choose the XLS which includes the option of Leather Heated Front Seats, among other decent options including Satellite. When I negotiated the price of the car, it supposedly came with Satellite which was an option I was looking for. However, after the dealership gave me a short demonstration on how to activate the options of the car, which I verified verbally and was given info from the dealership to activate. I learned it did not. I had to pay for it because it was not on the sales slip. Big Mistake on my part.

Not a bad car! - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Annieb - September 19 - 5:03 amThis is my first SUV and couldnt decide between the outlander and the Subaru Forester. Very, very close comparison. What put me over was the Outlander actually has better pick up (4 cyl) than the Subaru does. Seats are more comfortable on the Subaru (why do car makers not add lumbar support for all their cars?) The Outlander also has tighter steering which I prefer. Pound for pound, I feel the Outlander is a good car! So far, have not been disappointed. If you are considering a small SUV, dont rule out the Outlander.
