- Roulement un peu bruyant - Consommation d'essence un peu décevante (j'ai un 4 cylindres)
Green Light
- Beaucoup d'espaces que ce soit pour les passager ou pour les bagages. - Beaucoup d'équipements standards dont les sièges chauffants - Très maniable - Chargement du coffre à plat - La partie du bas du coffre devient un banc, très pratique pour le ski ou autre.

Review:
I got my outlander a month ago and I like the way it drives and handles. I was a nissan altima owner and can say that swithing to a trucky was expected to be not so good but outlander proved it otherwise.
Cornering and handling is much like sedan.

Red Light
Interior has a cheap look and feel to it, although everything functions well.
Yellow Light
Not as much power as V6 models, although gets better fuel efficiency Re-sale value not as good as Honda or Toyota
Green Light
Relatively fuel efficient for its class Great cargo capacity for its class Nice clamshell design for hatch Very nice technology and features for its price Price! - Much less expensive than comparably equipped CR-V Great warranty
Review:
In general, the Mitsubishi Outlander ES is a very strong competitor with others in its class like the CR-V and RAV-4. It will appeal more to an audience that values "bang for your buck" value and function over looks.

I love the ease of folding the 2nds row seats with the pull of a lever as opposed to the 2 oddly located straps you must pull for the CR-V to do the same task. The clamshell design is awesome as well for ease of loading and unloading.

Drive and handling are enjoyable for the average consumer and the available technology for this vehicle made me drool. Pre-wired bluetooth handsfree (requires additional hardware package though for about $500 installed), optional 650-watt 9-speaker sound, built in tire pressure monitoring system, and very informative multi-information display (love the L/100km fuel consumption gauge that can help you become a more fuel-efficient driver).

The standard equipped manual-mode is a treat for average drivers looking for a bit more thrill over using the CVT transmission and for that extra control when passing on the highway.

The warranty also comes unmatched by other companies, and the price point for this vehicle is definitely very competitive against the other Japanese automaker offerings in this class.

The compromise made to get the attractive price point though, is in the interior materials. They look and feel a bit on the cheap side, but get the job done. As long as you value price and function over looks, then this vehicle is a must-see. If you value looks and interior styling and are willing to pay more money, than consider looking elsewhere.

For those needing more power, V6 is available for the LS and XLS models which have even more technology options. However, I would suggest against the available 3rd row seating as it's almost useless and most uncomfortable for anyone over about 3 feet tall.

I would also suggest getting an undercoating with a sound barrier to help reduce road noise in the cabin at higher speeds.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants something different and less expensive than the CR-V and RAV-4 but still wants reliability and a fun to drive factor. The ES is definitely adequate for anyone who does mostly city driving without much need for towing capacity. The V6 models will satisfy the needs better of those who want better towing ability. But seriously, this is a compact SUV - get a real one if you need to tow that much. For hauling people and light stuff around town, this vehicle is amazing!

Review:
J'ai acheté mon Outlander en Janvier 2008 après une longue reflexion sachant que ce modèle n'était très répondu sur le marché. Je peux vous assurer que je n'ai pas regrétter mon choix. Je suis très ravis sachant qu'il ya pas de véhicule parfait. Je le recommande. Au début, je me sentais original puisqu'il y'avait beaucoup en circulation. De ces jours-ci, j'en vois partout. Signe que ce VUS a conquis les coeurs des amateurs de ce segment.

Bon espace cargo et passagers Un look sportif qui se distingue des autres VUS compact Systeme main libre bluetooth Tenue de route sportive Garantie Mitsubishi 10/5/5
Review:
Après plusieurs semaines de magasinage, j'ai opté pour le Mitsubishi Outlander. Voici les quelques points qui m'ont fait opter pour ce choix :

- Son espace cargo, qui est le plus généreux de sa catégorie à mon avis;
- Bon rapport qualité, équipement, prix;
- Systeme de traction qui se change sur demande (2RM, 4RM, 4RM Lock);
- Sans être un Jeep Rubicon, il offre une capacité hors route, avec une des meilleures garde au sol (215 mm) dans la catégorie;
- Look sportif;
- Espace et confort des sièges arrière;
- 2e banquette, qui offre deux places supplémentaires pour un court déplacement;
- Système de son puissant (650watts);
- Hayon à deux niveau, et qui se rabat à plat (tailgate)
- Systeme main libre bluetooth, qui permet de téléphoner via commandes vocales;
- Bonne maniablité du véhicule;

Après deux voyages sur la cote nord et un peu de conduite en ville, j'apprécie encore plus le véhicule qu'au début. Le moteur (V6) offre beaucoup de puissance et répond bien lors des démarrages et des dépassements. Le système de freinage a 4 disques est aussi très efficace, quoiqu'il faut y aller doucement sur la pédale. Lors de mon premier essais du véhicule, je n'avais pas aimé les sièges en cuir qui sont ferme, mais je m'y suis habitué et j'ai été finalement confortable durant les 4 heures de route du voyage. Même si le volant n'est pas télescopique, le siège conducteur offre de beaucoup d'ajustements qui permettent de trouver la bonne position de conduite.

Sur le plan de la consommation d'essence, j'ai fait 10,5L/100 sur une route montagneuse et 13,5L/100 en ville sans avoir fait attention. Sur le tableau de bord, une gauge nous permet tout de même de constater notre consommation d'essence en temps réel, mais ca demeure très approximatif.

Le véhicule se comporte bien sur la route et offre une belle douceur de roulement, lorsque la route est en bon état! La suspension ferme offre une tenue de route sportive, mais un peu dure sur les imperfections de la route. La transmission à six vitesses est douce, on peu a peine percevoir les changements entre les rapports. Le mode sportronic permet de gérer les changements de vitesse, et j'ai bien apprécié avec les palettes de changement de vitesse à l'arrière du volant.

Un des points faible du véhicule, c'est le niveau sonore élevé dans l'habitacle a haute vitesse, causé par les bruits de roulement et de vent.

En général, c'est un excellent véhicule, et je le recommande à tout ceux qui recherche un VUS compact avec de l'espace, une conduite sportive et une bonne garantie.
