I have a 2011 Outlander 2.5l engine with luxury pack containing all Outlander could offer at that time. I was happy with the car. Specially value for money etc. BUT, 3/5/13 my engine stopped in exit ramp of Tullamarine freeway (Dynon Rd Exit). After I restarted the car the check engine light came on and the engine had erratic behavior when ideal or in drive at complete stop. Since then the car has been to Mitsubishi service center 5 times and collectively over 4 month. They even charged me once for the repair which did not fix the problem. Afte...Read more

Overall I have found the Outlander to be a great, all round car! It's definitely the most practical car we've ever owned, what with towing horse floats, driving up ski field access roads, the occasional off road stint to tramping tracks (in New Zealand). The good points of this car for sure outweigh the negatives.
- great for towing (albeit occasionally)
- uncomfortable rear 3rd row seats, but we don't mind as they're only used occasionally
- excellent split rear tailgate
-massive boot space
- the seats fold away very well for occasions w...Read more

This is our first SUV, we got this during the runout sale Oct 2012. Got the 2WD with the bluetooth, reverse sensor thrown in. We live in the Hills district and driving to work means going up and down lots of hills and the car has not missed a beat. The 2.4 engine is more than capable of overtaking on the highway. Haven't notice much noise but then when you have kids, a wife and toys rattling in the car its never going to be a problem. Lots of storage space and when we moved houses it could take more than half the boxes from one bedroom. I use E...Read more

2009 Mitsubishi Outlander ls 4wd manual 45000km. Excellent car handles well I like the engine noise sounds a lot better than our other car a 2012 toyota rav4 cv 4wd 4 speed auto. Im not really getting that good fuel economy 11.3L/100km. road noise is quiet bad. the gearbox is quite notchy and isnt very nice to use easy to clean but some platics have already got marks in them comfortable car to be in but on the highways its very high at 2700rpms for hundred. one problem ive had is the batery only lasted 2 years and 8 months which is pretty bad. ...Read more

We bought the 7 seater Outlander after being sold as a 7 seater outlander. After injury occurred we were then informed second row is an "occasional seat". No where in the brochure does it say this! It says "seats up to 7 seven people comfortably". Hardly, in fact, dangerous. Look for another vehicle if you are counting on using the second row seats. Can't even be driven on a sealed road and Mitsubishi don't want to know about it! Massive disapointment.
The colour. After causing injury, it is hard to be happy with a "family" vehicle that is...Read more

I bought this car for the boot and rear seat space, the ability to do some light off roading to get to camping and bushwalking spots, the safety, the economy and the driving dynamics and comfort on road. For the past 3 years I have used it for my daily 90km highway commute at 110km/h, a fair bit of country road and gravel road driving and some limited towing and off-road use. So 106,000km later here'S my summary:

Handling:
Good on the highway and around town. Brilliant on gravel roads (in Lock mode). Not bad off road. Okay on windy roads,...Read more

I have owned my Outlander VRX 2011 for 6 months now and have come to the following conclusions.

Style:
The Outlander's new nose is distinct from other models on the road, it gives it an aggressive stance and with the chrome trims and fogs lights it looks more like a sedan on steroids than an SUV. The privacy glass, chrome door handles (which don't scratch), duel chrome exhaust and other chrome trimmings add to the look of class and help it stand out from the other models.

Equipment:
The equipment offered on the Outlander VRX is second ...Read more

Owned the car for 4 years now and can't fault it. Everything negative is already on here but the positives definitely outweigh. I always ring around for service costs and I'm amazed in the price difference. So far Heidelberg Mitsubishi Melbourne has looked after me with price and customer satisfaction but I still ring around b4 the service. Sometimes I get a rattle from the door plastics when the base volume of the stereo is up so I just put down the window slightly and it helps. Just bought new tyres for the 18 inch rims which is an odd size a...Read more

On purchasing our new Outlander VRx in 2010, we were very impressed by it's level of equipment, good looks and Powerful V6 motor. Having lived with vehicle for over a year now, there is still no doubt that this is a great car and value for money, probably beats most of, if not all of it's competitors. However, there are one or two gripes that I have, which may be of concern to a potential buyer of this car.

The first is road noise. Although the VRx gives an awesome ride and is outrageously smooth and comfortable on the road, it seems to pick...Read more

Love that car. It looks fantastic, is reliable, and easy on the fuel. Goes reasonably well for the engine size and type of vehicle it is. The boot has heaps of room. The great thing is you can also adjust the rear seats, by sliding forward and back, and also the tilt. Plenty of room for tall people to sit comfortably (brother is 6ft 3 and fits easily, his head does not hit the roof). Tried the X-trail, Forrester, CRV, Tiguan, Santa Fe and none are as good as this. I am very happy with the decision I made to purchase this can and can highly reco...Read more

Review for the XLS luxury, 2.4, CVT

I like performance vehicles and thought the 2.4 would be ordinary, however it's an excellent choice.
The CVT auto system is great.
The drivetrain is smooth and the engine willing.

We loaded up with everything, including the touch screen mmc system.
The real savior is the integrated DVD system.
Wireless headsets are pure bliss!
