  Dont believe the "professional" reviews - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By Bill - March 30 - 2:00 am

  Mitsubishi builds a very fine product but you dont hear much about them because everyone raves about Honda, Toyota etc, well they have issues believe me. My only issue with the outlander sport is getting in and out of the backseat, they could have made the door openings a bit wider This SUV is basically a Lancer on steroids. Sure its not going to take you from 0-60 in 2 seconds but its quick enough...very smooth and quiet ride. The panoramic roof I wish would open in some fashion, the led lights are a bit on the trendy side which I could take or leave.

  Nice car! - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By DFosness - May 29 - 2:00 am

  During my research I looked at quite a few different makes. I decided on the Outlander Sport because of the standard features. i was concerned about the 2.0 4 cylinder engine but it performed well over my expectations. I was passing everyone I came to on the freeway with no effort at all. The interior is more spacious then I expected. I have plenty of room at 6 feet and 350 pounds. Personally, I like the looks of the exterior but not everyone will. All and all, this is an extremely fine vehicle for the price. Thousands less then similar in class with far far fewer features.

  Great value for money - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By 0ffroader - May 24 - 3:16 am

  Ive been looking for a CUV for around two years to replace my 15 year old sedan. I was leaning towards an Escape Hybrid, but while researching fuel efficient CUVs, I ran into a USNEWS article that described this as the best CUV for the money. Im glad I test drove one. All profesional reviews blast the "performance" of this, but unless youre into sports cars and like driving really fast and making quick getaways from traffic lights, it doesnt matter. I dont plan speeding tickets into my budget either and usually drive around the limit with my small kid in the back. This car is perfect for a small family. The rear isnt too roomy, but is adequate.

  I love this car! - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

  Absolutely love everything about this car. Ive only had it a few months so I cant give it a 5 rating on reliability until Ive had it longer.

  Dont let the experts fool you, this is the best crossover suv to get - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By researchmommy - December 23 - 8:53 am

  Im a mom of 2 kids who used to drive a 2000 Toyota Sienna van and needed a change. I test drove the Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV 4, Mazda CX-7, Chevrolet Equinox and they just dont have the ride comfort of the Outback Sport. I drive my kids to school everyday and have minimal highway miles traveled, but no matter where I go I cant help but smile because I paid less for a car I feel gives you more standard and even with some options added on, is a better value than the cars mentioned above. Dont let the reviews on the engine noise sway you from test driving this vehicle. In the end that is the true test of if a vehicle is right for you or not.

  Very Pleased - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By boehm421 - October 19 - 9:04 pm

  Recently purchased my Outlander Sport after looking at the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tuscon. Read some reviews indicating it is very loud and under-powered. I have found the power to be more than adequate and engine noise to be a non-issue as well. If you are a lead foot, engine noise will be louder than usual due to the CVT transmission. The car makes use of higher RPMs to power the car for quick acceleration. This has to do with the fact that a CVT does not "shift". Its basically one large gear. The car feels well made. I am very happy to own this car after trading in a Mercedes Benz ML320. I do mostly city driving/ short trips and get about 23 mpg, which is a vast improvement for me.

  Fun to Drive!!! - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By sunnyray - January 22 - 3:35 am

  I absolutely love this car! Ive had 2 Hondas & a Jeep and by far I like this much better! You get all the little extras etc. heated seats, blue tooth, keyless entry and start for much less than Honda. It looks so great and smart to drive! Make sure you get the larger wheels and 4wd for all the difference in the world! We just had a major snow storm and this cuv handled better than any suv Ive ever driven! Thanks to Mitsb for an affordable and awesome cuv! handled better than any suv Ive ever had (my last one was a jeep) I love my new small crossover and it is a blast to drive! You will love it too!

  Hard to decide if I like it... - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By strand83 - February 26 - 9:24 pm

  I am now beginning to understand why the Mitsubishi dealer had so many Outlander Sports and why I got a price under $16k. While this car looks amazing and offers a lot for the price, Mitsubishi definitely cut some corners. I have two main issues with this vehicle: 1. Suspension - Try driving one on the freeway at 65 MPH and you will feel the car be thrown around by the ruts and grooves in the road. It is much more noticeable than most cars because of the soft suspension. 2. MIVEC valve timing - My Outlander Sport has less than 2500 miles on it. I have had 3 check engine lights. The dealer says the computer needs a reset due to timing. Obviously the MIVEC hasnt been completely sorted out.

  Reliable, but uninspiring - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By darkcoupon - November 11 - 5:22 am

  This car has been very reliable. I bought mine in fall of 2011 and, apart from regular maintenance, this car hasnt seen any time back at the dealership. The rest of the car, though, is rather unimpressive. Despite the sporty exterior, the underpowered engine makes this car beyond boring to drive and inspires no confidence when needed. The poor engine would almost be forgivable if the car achieved the advertised gas mileage, but after nearly 3 years of ownership I still average around 20mpg City and 25mpg Highway. This is mostly due to the fact that the pedal needs to be on the floor most of the time to keep up with traffic. Mitsu would have been much better off including their 2.4L engine.

  Peppy enough for me, stylish and nice features. - 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  By cdt2833 - October 25 - 1:26 pm

  Job location change increased my commute to nearly 80miles round trip. Traded in my heavy, thirsty truck for something a bit sporty, comfortable and CUV-like in terms of cargo capacity. Test drove several Hyundai products including the Tucson and went to the Mitsu dealer last. Nice features on the ES at the sub 20k price point including handsfree phone integration via FUSE system, telescoping steering wheel, full complement of steering wheel controls including magnesium paddle shifters for the CVT. Some soft touch surfaces on the dash and door panels. The 4B11 2.0L is not a hot rod but once you become accustomed to the acceleration with CVT it is more than enough for typical driving.
