Overview & Reviews
Mitsubishi has replaced the Outlander's XLS trim level with a new Special Edition (SE) trim. The SE has the same content as the former XLS but gains a few extra pieces of flashy exterior trim. The rest of the Outlander is unchanged for 2006, save for the addition of standard side airbags and antilock brakes to all models, as well as standard automatic climate control for the Limited trim.
- Roomy and functional interior, comfortable ride, peppy around town, solid handling, standard ABS.
- Could use some more power, less cargo capacity than competitors.

Downsizing from Minivan - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Terri - October 3 - 1:33 amI chose the 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander due to the 100,000 mile warranty - no other manufacturer came close. I keep my vehicles for at least 10 years so this was the deciding factor. It is a great truck, handles well and coming from a Plymouth Grand Voyager and the size is very adequate for my needs. Of course, we would all like to see a little better gas mileage with todays gas prices.

Nice Truck - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By WHW - November 24 - 6:53 amThe 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander is a good, dependable, affordable alternative to larger SUVs. I very much like and enjoy driving this vehicle. Ive always had larger SUVs but got tired of the gas prices and vehicle costs associated with them. The Outlander handles, rides, and performs very well for the price. Its worth looking into if you, as well, are tired of the high prices involved with the larger SUVs.

Great Crossover - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Gooch - October 26 - 1:16 amI bought a 2006 Certified Used Outlander AWD. I got the 100,000 mile powertrain and 5 yr / 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, no deductible warranties. What other car company has a warranty like that! ZERO.. I had a 1998 Ford Explorer with 50,000 miles prior to the Outlander. I put over $3,000 in repairs into it in the last two years. I was looking for a quality vehicle, I found that in the Outlander. I am sold on Mitsubishi. The Outlander is a great crossover vehicle, it is fun to drive and handles great. I live in Western PA and the winters are nasty. I feel 100% safer in the Outlander than I ever did in the Explorer and the AWD hardly has to kick in.

Young Family Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By ihab.salem - September 26 - 1:36 pmThis car is very practical for small/young family. Its smooth, quick, not feature rich but do the required. Average cargo space, very comfortable with more than enough legs, head and shoulders space for 5 adults (or 2 adults, 2 child, and a baby seat). As I am living in a very hot country I found the AC is very effective in summer. The automatic gear is very responsive. I tried many other SUVs nowadays (e.g. Acadia, Pilot, Explorer, etc) and cant find any match to its powerful & responsive brakes. I was near the Oman tsunami in 2006 (in Sharjah Emirate) and this car saved me from drowning in water in low streets while similar SUV drowned (CR-V, Sportage, Vitara). But very low MPG in city.

Very Satisfied - Great for Price - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By northsidefan - January 27 - 4:50 pmFor the little extra money, it was worth upgrading to the SE model. The only feature that I wanted and was not included was a power moonroof. Otherwise, I am very happy with the purchase.

Outlandish - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By T.CAGLE - January 25 - 1:26 amI have only owned my 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander for a month, but I have been thrilled with it. It has quite a bit of pep and handles really well. I have been fairly pleased with the gas mileage. I am not disappointed with buying the vehicle I would recommend the Outlander to anyone looking to buy a small SUV. And it just looks tough!

Love this truck! - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By meagain076 - October 29 - 11:20 amI just bought my 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander this weekend. I fell in love with the design, and the sportiness of it. It is well worth the low price tag, and it is very fun to drive. It handles well on corners, though the pickup from start is a little slow. The gas mileage is great. Overall I am very happy with my purchase!

Great value, overlooked SUV - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By djenkins - August 25 - 11:10 pmIt is strange that this SUV crossover does not get better professional reviews. Everywhere I look on the net, the people who actually own one are very happy with it while pro editorial reviewers usally give mediocre reviews. It gives great value, luxury car level comfort and a modern, aggressive styling both in and out. I have the Limited version with leather. It really upgrades this entry level SUV to a luxury entry level and its double sunroofs are a nice feature. The 4-cyl. 2.4liter MIVEC engine gets the job done nicely and feels faster then it actually is. Its handling is tighter and more sport sedan-like than ALL of its competitors including the new RAV4. I tested all of them and this one is tops, I have no regrets.

New to Outlander - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By Outlander - August 3 - 4:03 pmOk, I just bought this used 2006 Outlander. Let me say that I am very impressed with how smooth the car rides. The seats (front, I havent been in the back yet) are very comfortable. Sound system is great. The viewing position is perfect for my height (59").

Fun and Fast - 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
By jam - June 12 - 12:53 amMy 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander has been an incredible surprise. It is fast and fun. Price vs. quality, it is one of the best options out there in the American market.
