We bought the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander because we had purchased one in 2005 and had the car for 12 years without a single major (or even minor) problem. We got a very good price on the 2017 and have had it for nearly 4 years with no (major) problems at all. We couldn't figure out how to use a few elements in the WiFi system but they showed us a few different ways to use the system and we haven't had any difficulty since (although aspects and items of the system are still not clear to us because we don't use them). I learn ways to make things run smoothly on the various systems (window wipers automatic), the headlights, etc., but often forget how to make the car perform these using the Mitsubishi system or function. Right now I re-learned how to keep the bright lights on continually, but the automatic function that turns off the use of the headlights must then be switched to, and closed manually. That is, the automatic headlights must - at the end of a trip - be shut off manually if you had used the the bright headlights function so that they stayed on when you clicked a particular spot on the steering wheel for lighting. Sorry, but I have not explained the problem very clearly with the bright headlights versus the normal headlights, on/off , with one spot controlling the normal headlights and one spot controlling the high beams. Maybe there is another approach to keeping the bright, high beams on consistently, without giving up the automatic function and switching to manual. At any rate, we have had no problem at all with the vehicle and it does handle very well, indeed! We use our own mechanics for maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) and order parts if we need them either thru Mitsubishi or through the mechanics who either purchase Mitsubishi parts or after-market parts. The car seems very solid, and proved to be solid in a couple of minor scrapes, and one somewhat major accident in which our car had been hit, sideswiped, and the car that did the damage received much more damage than ours.
I read somewhere that the transmission becomes an issue, but you don't seem to have such issues. I guess it's better to hear this from someone who lives with this everyday. I am looking at buying a second hand one with 50,000 km on it. Would you recommend?
I own a '17 Outlander SE with the 2.4 and CVT.. I'm a mechanic and service it myself. Absolutely reliable. 42k miles with zero issues. Changed the CVT fluid at the 30k mile mark and oil changes every 3k. It runs top notch in any weather and the S-AWC is sufficient in winter.
Honestly Mitsubishi has always held a place in my heart, I love them always wanted a Lancer as a kid and they’re pretty underrated IMO, I don’t see too many Mitsubishi’s on the road
Hi the same w/ me ! Would like to know though what make engine is installed , all I know is it´s a150 hp engine.I´m writing this in 2022 and 165000 kms !!
I own a 2017 outlander and the most expensive thing we've come across in over 100k miles is the rear brakes. Because it has EPB you have to go the the expensive dealership(stealership) to get them changed. Just changing the pads cost me $270!
Mitsubishi has been a great car for me since the 80s, I don't care what you say about Mitsubishi, if you don't believe me ask , Mr. Lee Iaccoca, he knows a lot about Mitsubishi.
Why would the vehicle ride as smooth as a sedan? It's not a sedan. Those issues could be due to operator misuse. Those cars are not known for having issues.
I am thinking of getting a used 2017 with about 105,000 miles on it (only one owner). I have a family of 5 and do drive in hills. Would you recommend? Thank you.
The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is a totally different car An impressive 86% "quality" and "reliability" rate by "JD POWER" A stunning 47% "resale value" after 5 years of ownership by "CAR EDGE" One of the safest cars on the market with 11 "airbags" Best power train warranty on the market Great job Mitsubishi 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀 💪 👏
i had the tail gate issue too. other then that I never experienced any other issue. Oh and the ac evap died on me within 6 years andd the radiator leaked everywhere
I have the phev all the issues you mentioned is incorrect my car is 7 years old and worked perfect no issues with tailgate start or on the dashboard so it's abit unfair you mark the car down because you bought a brick
See your video make me miss my hometown. Stuck at SG more than a year due to covid. Hopefully the outbreak will subside soon. Nice review bang, outlander for me it's like an upgraded/refined japanese version Exora.
I have a 2012 outlander es ZJ it has the type 2 cluster (instruments). It has no engine coolant temperature guage. Just to confirm if this is correct does this once certain model with the type 2 instruments have no engine coolant temperature guage? How do you tell if the car is overheating while driving before seeing smoke or something like that? Thanks
Hi. Many new cars don’t need temperature gauge. It’s all controlled by computers and if anything goes wrong a warning light will come on. If you ignore the warning in the case of serious issues, the engine will shut itself off to prevent damages. So not to worry. My Toyota Wish has no temperature gauge either.
@@wowcarwow yeah that's true. I figured it out. The outlander just shows a blue temperature icon on the dash when it's cold , it goes off when it warms up so I assume if the car overheats it will come up red
the only shitty thing about owning this car is how much money it saves me from buying exterior mods n performance stuff. which is good because im a dad. and money is tight.
@@wowcarwow thanks. I’m planning to buy a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander. It’s a 2nd hand car with 56,000 Kms mileage. Is that Ok? What’s your opinion on it.
@@jammaicu1211 it should be Okay. Generally they can last quite a long time. This unit had some technical glitches but all were resolved and everything is working well now.
I don’t like CVT in a big car like this and I still can’t tell how reliable the CVT is. It’s still too new to tell. I would recommend a used Lexus RX350. I have that on my channel too. Reliability guaranteed.
@@mooauto2388 I see. It’s so common here. I love driving the RX because it’s super comfortable. Consider a used Prado. Africa should have tons of them.
Have a 2022 Outlander, and i can honestly say this is the worst vehicle i have ever owned. Less than 50 thousand and have had to put close to $2000 of work into it so far.
Only drove my Mitsubishi outlander 2017 one time today just down the street and back home the second time I only drove down the street to work when I turned off the car then pressed the lock button on the key it didn't work so I went back to the car and tried locking the doors on the door but didn't work then tried turning on the light didn't work then tried turning on the car didn't work what is going on ?!
Better get the dealer to check. Hope it’s still under warranty. The electronics can sometimes drive you crazy. This unit is now working fine. It did have a lot of technical glitches at first.
The CVT does help save some petrol but the car is big, boxy and heavy so you can’t expect much. City driving averages around 7.5 km per litre and highway combined with city averages around 10 km per litre. To put that in perspective, Axia averages around 12-13 km per litre for city driving.
Actually rented an Outlander to go to mountains ,what a joke😂..Our cabin is high up the drive was steep and this Thing only halfway up lost traction and wouldn't go any farther.....You can keep it😂

tail gate error maybe it not error but because you not switch on tail gate switch and not shiift on "P" Position
Did I miss something? What year is this one you are reviewing? Even same Models, have different issues, different years.
2017 this model was built in Japan. Everything has been resolved now. No more issue. It’s got more than 50,000 km now. You can see the update.

Generally, the reliability is not bad. Fuel consumption is a bit higher than expected. If the car has been well taken care, yes you can consider.
