I put over 200K miles on my 2003 Outlander with no issues with the engine. I am sold on the durability of the Mitsubishi. So I got a new 2015 Outlander Sport AWD. I wanted the bigger Outlander but after just coming off nearly a year unemployed, it was still too far out of my price range. Totally happy with my choice as a commuter in frequent bad weather.
I'm always happy to run across your review -good job covering the practical issues that most car reviewers overlook. I noticed the cup holders are too far forward in this car as well as in the Sport
@@chadhaire1711 Good to know. They mainly send higher trim so they look the best. Sad sometimes because like most people we are not buying top trim and honestly who wants the LTZ Sonic for 28k when you can get a nice semi loaded kia optima for the same price. Great videos. Thank you sir
Ok, we have just put 4700 miles on our 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander ES 4 cyl 2WD. We had an 8 passenger 2006 Sienna Van, the underside became damaged. But I wasn't quite ready to get back into another Sienna after rack and pinion steering leak at 50K miles, an electric door hinge problem, 19 mpg avg, and chronic edge wear of the tires. It would only like Michelins, it chewed thru other brands and alignment was spot on. We also looked a Subaru, and the Highlander and Honda stuff. The 2016 Outlander was the ONLY vehicle which had 3rd row seating, a decent tow capacity for small trailers, 30 mpg or better gas milage. Outstanding warranty. This CVT transmission is very smooth. This has a timing chain engine instead of a timing belt engine. ( Visit www.agcoauto.com/content/List_Of_Interference_Engines ) Not buying any more vehicles with timing belts. This 2016 is much improved over the 2015, as I drove a 2015 model. Also I wanted higher ground clearance this time. The Sienna was too low for ground clearance. I just completed a 900 mile trip LOADED. We averaged 32 mpg. I filled the tank twice. My wife likes it, she won't let me drive it much. Citty I'm getting 27- 28 mpg. I REALLY started looking at these Outlanders when I found out my father-in-law in Mexico actually had a Mitsubishi for the last 11 years. They beat theirs and abuse it. They drive theirs all over the country. He told my wife he would buy another. I know he is hard on vehicles. That REALLY , and I mean REALLY got my attention. My wife's relative down their owns a Meineke repair franchise. He says the Mistubishi vehicles without the turbo are reliable. Plus I never remembered seeing a Mitsubishi broken down on the side of the road, anywhere. I'm always looking for what vehicles are being towed by a rope or on the back of a tow truck. I just saw my father-in-laws Mitsubishi last week, it is an Outlander but much smaller. They also have a Sienna Van the Mexico version. Our Outlander is comfortable for trips, and I really like the 100,000 mile warranty on the drive train. Also the factory includes 5 years of roadside assistance / towing !! So, this vehicle fits my needs and was $10,000 less (at least) than a Sienna. No problem, I just had U Haul install a hitch for about $380. I bought a slide-in cargo basket for trips & bulky stuff. Probably will save $1300 a year in fuel cost over the Sienna. The headlights ARE excellent , and the windshield glare (if any) was unnoticable to me until I watched this video. But really no different than our Sienna. The glare totally disappeared off the windshield after I put on my polarized sun glasses ! The negative: Headroom could be 8 inches higher, especially in the rear. Our model has a keyed ignition (I will never buy keyless ignition) the rear cargo lacks a hook to hang clothes, we wish there was a 12v receptacle in the cargo area. At night, the door switches are poorly lighted. Also the ES lacks a roof rack. Really wanted a roof rack. Tony www.globalmedicalplans.com/
+Les Vas Well I have about 30 other cat videos--shouldn't have fed them because now they won't go away, and now they are sneaking in the house to sleep in my bed! That is what good looking women are for--not furry cats! Oh well--thanks for watching. Stay tuned.
The front is an all new design for 2016. This is considered a compact CUV, not midsize. Glad you pointed out the stupidly wide rocker panel. That's a huge annoyance, especially for shorter people like myself. Also glad you pointed out the sun visors that don't extend. I can only imagine it's a cost cutting measure. Not a corner that should be cut though!
I've hired one for 28 days in NZ. Actually like the look of this. Boring engine atleast its economical enough NZ's fuel prices are very expensive! Interiors also abit of a yawn but it'll do. Nice review too 👍
Hi Chad, thank you for the video. I'm considering a purchase of an used outlaner, with manual gearbox, and a 2.0 NA engine. Grateful if you could share any thoughts and feedback. Greets from Europe.
Not too fond of Mitsus. No compelling reason to get one. Boring to look at and FE isn't standing out to me. If you are a repeat Mitsu buyer, what are your reasons for doing so?
+MixingGBP I just replaced my 2003 Outlander with a 2015 Outlander Sport. I believe the Mitsubishi brand is underrated. I had my older one for more than 200K miles with no engine issues at all. Only toward the end did it start having trouble with suspension items. For me personally, reliability is far more important that looks. This new look of the Outlander, although better than the previous model, is not my favorite either. I preferred the facial that the 2010-2014 (I think) had. But again, reliability tops the list in my book. Ride quality and comfort is next. Both my Outlanders have excelled in those categories. I average 27-28 MPG regularly in mixed driving. I have the AWD model.

Great review, .. the cats at the beginning are a nice touch.
+Gerald Orford But you feed them and they wont go away

If I could put more likes, I would! :) Very good review!
This is an oldie video---we have more newer Mitsubishi videos to watch
Nice car
Good job Chad :) .. How much it costs?
+سهيل العلي $24-$32000
Hi Chad, thank you for the video. I'm considering a purchase of an used outlaner, with manual gearbox, and a 2.0 NA engine. Grateful if you could share any thoughts and feedback. Greets from Europe.
Not sure if the specs are the same there as here. If it has less than 100,000 miles there should be lots of life left in it.
@@chadhaire1711 thank you for your response.
outlander vs pajero sport review
Hi...Present What is the fuel economy..?
gone
How much l/km
Well, that shelf at the door is very normal, it is an SUV I don't think it is for short guys. good review however, thanks
+moh bel OK
that's true about the sun visors when you put it to the side window...no extensions.. sheesh!
+hawaiiguy1 also see that on a lot of Toyota & Lexus cars
+chad haire And the Scion's.
1st world problems...
Only the Hybrid version here in Europe.
What about the reliability and maintenance cost?
Reliable enough
Even with the cvt?
@@mooauto2388 10 year 100,000 mile warranty..why worry
But I want a Montero !😣
Seven seater suv without back vents,
Not impressed. But good review though as usual .
"the front is not much different from last year" 😂 wtf.
+tom sam The cats say I am right
Not too fond of Mitsus. No compelling reason to get one. Boring to look at and FE isn't standing out to me. If you are a repeat Mitsu buyer, what are your reasons for doing so?
+MixingGBP Well you liked it enough to watch a video on it--a good start!
+chad haire Well, that's because I'm a car fanatic like you. Any car, every car. I even watched a show about the AMC Pacer last week. :)
+MixingGBP So did I--nice looking car but that shit quality. I have 120 other vids to watch--find something else to watch.
+MixingGBP I just replaced my 2003 Outlander with a 2015 Outlander Sport. I believe the Mitsubishi brand is underrated. I had my older one for more than 200K miles with no engine issues at all.

I have the AWD model.
+MixingGBP Ive owned 3 Mitsubishis. They are reliable! They dont break. Ive owned many cars in my life. The Mitsubishis are some of the most reliable.
What a tiny piece of shit engine my Hyundai has 290 hp
+MICHAEL NUDELMAN and doesn't get 40 mpg
The Mitsubishi engine is actually larger than your tiny hyundai engine
Yes, but you're Hyundai doesn't get that either - and it won't be around in ~10-20 years while the Mitsubishi engine will run forever.
Best I have gotten in my 290 hp KIA v6 Sorento is 33 mpg. Normally it Getz 26 hwy to be honest. In town 14-18
Someone tried passing me in this same exact car yesterday. My 2010 Toyota Camry LE with the 2.5L is faster than this ugly ass car.
It's all about the heart behind the wheel
