Suits my needs for light off road and dirt road use as well as trailer towing. The 4WD lock mode gets used a lot anytime i need grip and does not drop out above 40kmh like most competitors do. Replacing the original tyres with D694 Duelers has transformed this vehicle.The aquaplaning,bitumen and dirt grip are very confident.The ride is now far less "thumpy" it is much quieter on coarse bitumen and dirt and is less "darty". Some slight "tramlining" and tread whine at low speeds the only negative. Fuel consumption highway and freeway typically 8 ...Read more

I researched this purchase for months and don't regret it for a moment. My husband is a car dealer (not Mitsubishi) and so I have driven a lot of cars and I can't beat this car for value for money.
I have a 2010 Outlander XLS. I love it and don't really have a bad word to say about it. The previous review says the car is terribly under-powered but I strongly disagree. I have gone from a 6 cylinder sedan and find this car has more than enough power. It does buzz a bit when pushed but that is normal for a 4 cylinder engine. I've driven my p...Read more

Test drive the Outlander 2.4L RX model last week (LS model with extras). I was all hyped about the Outlander, did my research, was very impressed with the cargo space as we have a baby about 9 months old. We needed the extra room for pram and all the baby stuff. Being 2.4L, 125KW @ 6000rpm, it was a gutless vehicle, it struggled to accelerate from standing still. I understand being a 4wd, it was not meant to run like a race car, but occasionally I may have to accelerate pulling out to a busy road. The engine sounds terrible, buzz like a bee...Read more

Value for money this vehicle beats the competition in other SUV's to date. I like to drive my cars not just chug around and it handles so well for it's class. The V6 purrs ( great sound) is responsive and for it's weight and size fuel economy is great. V6 does require 95 octane fuel but its worth it. Great family car with loads of space and feels safe, the 2wd, AWD to 4wd lock function is excellent. I totally recommend this vehicle with the peace of mind of the great warranty, only next time I'm going to get the luxury ASX model with all the be...Read more

Very Happy with my VRX 7 seat Outlander, kids love the rear entertainment. Rear jump seats though not padded provides extra space for those 'emergency' hauling kids service. Driving dynamics very good for a vehicle this size and the safety of ASC and traction control w/ 4 channel ABS. 6 speed tranny also a gem. And Rockford Fosgate sound system reaaly rocks. It would take a while before I'll replace this great all rounder (probably until a new model upgrade comes in)
Great looking car, nice drive, solid built. An SUV that doesn't pretend to be ...Read more

We bought the basic 5 seat LS 4 cylinder 07 model in the end because it had all that we wanted at a great price. We particularly wanted the curtain airbags for our two little boys which it offered and the fuel efficiency and 4wd capabilities. We got a fantastic deal from Justin at Morley Mitsubishi (Perth) when other dealers wouldn't come to the table with a good deal and some were just down right rude!
I would buy this car again without any hesitation. Thanks Justin!
Fantastic safety package (curtain airbags), comfortable, quiet, economical ...Read more

I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander Activ Manual. I just love it with two kids everything fits in the boot & still plenty of leg room with the rear sliding seats. It is roomy, easy to park and has great visibility. The Activ model has all the bells and whistles that I could possibly need except for side airbags. Feel guilty about that but bought it at 13,000kms so had no choice. Really they should be standard on all cars made in recent years. If I had my choice from the start would probably go for a V6 because the fuel consumption would be very...Read more

I’ve had 3 Outlanders and loved them all, but I do wish Mitsubishi would stop changing the range of Outlander as often as their underpants!! On average the range changes every year or even less, which means if you buy a new Outlander your resale value will be useless in a no time at all. The Outlanders are very well equipped with an easy to use ‘dial up’ 4x2, 4x4 or 4x4 lock mode, great off road and the 4cyl is good on juice, but if you are not going too far and a few extra dollars at the fuel pump won’t hurt the wallet go the 3.0litre V6, a su...Read more

I was a loyal Subaru driver but i think mitsubishi have blown subaru away in the SUV class of car. My outlander is not as much fun to drive as a subi, and isnt as good looking as a mazda, but she just cruises and gets on with the job of being a practical functional family car. I am keen to take her offroad and have been told by friends with the 4 cylinder version that they go alright in the dunes and on the beach.
I just bought the 08 VR 5 seater which is the V6 3L which im basing my review on, not sure if the standard is as good but this is ...Read more

Just dont understand why Mitsubishi gets such a bad verbal press in Australia 10/10 for a real good soft roader. Lets see what the resale is like in a year
Just taken delivery of the 07 2.4 LS bottom of the range model :( Bottom of the range??? For me its got every thing you need and loads more too we even swung metalic paint from Jason at Motorama group :) all at below base price. The 2.4 is a lovely engine coupled with the VR gearbox enough power and torque with fantastic fuel economy. Not as powerfull as the old tribute but way way less thir...Read more

Delighted with it and the great customer service we got from Vaughan & the team at Alto Mitsubishi in Gordon. Couldn't recommend them high enough if you don't want the typical hard sell car salesman but are looking for someone who listens and finds out what you want this is the place.

90 minutes research on carshowroom.com.au (the best Telstra site I've come across, leaves all the other car sites for dead for usability) and ieatwords.com.au was all I needed to decide my next purchase.

When will car manufacturers realize that much of...Read more

We've had this car for 6 months and have not had any problems. We compared it to the Hyundai Tuscon and found that for a few extra thousand, it was definitely worth it - the outlander is in a class of it's own.
We have the 2009 Outlander and love it. It drives beautifully and once you get used to the size, it is easy to manouvre. The interior is very spacious and the boot area is huge compared to other similar cars that we test drove. There are lots of bottle holders in the front and back, as well as a lockable glove box in front. The fold up s...Read more

I bought this car for the room as we are having a baby soon. From that perspective it has been an excellent buy. Very spacious and there are buttons in the boot which you can press to collapse the seats to create extra room.

Overall a great car and good value for money.
Love how the car handles and sometimes am surprised the way it handles for a relatively large vehicle. Looks good on the roads. Mitsubishi put some thought into the looks when they changed the model in 2007. Quite fuel efficient.
Dealer hasn't offered the best customer servic...Read more
