General Comments:

The drive and performance of vehicle is OK.

The seats are soft and comfortable.

I enjoy the sunroof.

Engine is very noisy.

The whining noise from engine especially at low speeds is very irritating. I am seriously thinking of taking a loss and trading it.

I think overall it is over priced and not up to standard.

Faults:

Nothing at all.

General Comments:

The Outlander is a very well equipped cross over vehicle that has adequate power and handling and has exterior styling that definitely doesn't look like anything else out there. It has rugged, yet smooth, styling and the spare tire is stored inside the vehicle adding to a clean, finished look. Fit and finish is comparable to anything else in its price range. The seats are very supportive and comfortable, and the controls are easy to see and use. The styling of the instrument cluster seems a through-back to '70's muscle cars. There are only a few minor shortcomings with the interior worth mentioning. One is the lack of back lighting on the door mounted accessory switches and on the automatic gear selector (though there is a gear selector indicator in the instrument panel). The LS sound system performs and sounds well, but it lacks a MP3 player. Interior lighting could be a little brighter as well. At night, one wishes for a brighter cab light or floor illumination.

Handling is precise and stable, though there is a little body roll during hard cornering. The brakes are secure and the ABS helps bring the vehicle to a stop in a hurry. The 4 cylinder engine is quiet at highway speeds and is quite economical. Thus far I'm averaging about 24 mpg overall in both city and highway driving. Acceleration is hardly neck breaking, but the 4 cylinder does an adequate job of getting the vehicle up to highway speed. The "sportronic" manual shift selector is a fun feature as well. The Outlander isn't an off-road rally racer, but for getting around in snow and ice, or for a trip to the beach, it can't be beat.

Overall, I'm very happy with my Outlander, especially when I compare its price to that of the competition. At thousands less than its rivals and with an unbeatable warranty, I wonder why there aren't more of them on the streets.

I have had this SUV since July 22nd and nothing has gone wrong at all. We drove it to Reno, NV and back and it still is running just like new. But like with every car if you keep the maintance up on it the car should last a very long time.

My husband and I were looking for a small SUV for us that would hold everybody, but not break the bank. We looked for about a month and were about ready to give up. One day my husband came home and asked me how long will it take you to get ready? I said get ready for what? He said to go get your new car. I couldn't believe it and he told me what it was and I was very surprised.

We got to the car lot were the car was and I fell in love with it before I even got to drive it. It is Black, fully loaded, nice rims and tires, 6 disk in dash changer, heated seats, cruise, sport auto is what its called I think. Were you having the option to have either the automatic or push it over to become a 4 speed.

I like the fact that it can get up and go in no time. Getting on the freeway is so much easier having a newer car with some get up and go.

It drives like no other SUV I test drove. It rides like a car, but is a small SUV.

I would recommend this to anybody that is looking for a fully loaded SUV with room for up to 3 kids or people.

I also like the fact that the back seat can recline to an extent. So if my daughter wants her seat laying back she can and when my son gets older if he wants his different he can do that without having a big argument over it.

I would give this car ****
