6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
12000 miles so far, and not a single issue.
2010 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Good warranty from Mitsubishi. The GT model has a high performance transmission and handles quite well thus far. Consumer reports rated it above the Subaru Forester and Toyota Rav4
2009 4dr SUV 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT 4WD
Very durable and one of the very best warranties in the industry
2009 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD
The Outlander already had the best warranty around and I extended it with a 8 year/200,000 km new vehicle limited warranty.
2009 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD
Mitsubishi`s standard warranty and the fact that Mitsubishi has been building automobiles for a long time. The Outlander is the best-selling CUV in Japan.
2008 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD
100,000 mile drive train warranty, 60,000 mile on the rest, 5 year road assist, 7500 miles (12000 km) or 6 months between service intervals.
2003 4dr SUV 140-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
No major problems ever and very easy and cheap to maintain
2003 4dr SUV 140-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I put over 100,000 miles on my 2003 Outlander in under 4 years and other than regular maintenance and a set of brake pads and new tires, I never had a problem with it.
