2006 Mitsubishi Outlander Limited AWD Road Test

Want a reliable compact SUV? Sure you do. You want the ruggedness and capability that a four wheel drive offers, but don't want a V8 swilling back gasoline like it's the mid sixties again. You'll have little trouble finding one of those mini utes at any local dealership- some carmakers have more than one to choose from. According to sales figures, they're becoming more and more popular, as consumers become more sensitive to fuel costs, and technology makes them more comfortable, user friendly and efficient. But what if you want one which is cheap to drive and doesn't bore you, or your friends or your family? Aaaah, now THAT makes things a little more complicated.
