2008 Mitsubishi Outlander ES review from North America
"Good value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cowling below windshield didn't fit properly on the passenger side, and was replaced free of charge under warranty.
Vehicle had recall done on it for a brake booster check valve that could stick under certain conditions. Recall was done free of charge.
General comments?
This vehicle handles very well at highway speeds, and delivers a smooth ride.
The seats on this vehicle are very comfortable, especially on long trips.
The fold down tailgate on this vehicle makes loading cargo in the back very easy.
The 4 cylinder model I have has plenty of power to take hills, but if you are going to do any towing on a regular basis, or live in a mountainous area, you should get the 6 cylinder model.
Anti-lock brakes, stability control, front, side and curtain airbags are all standard equipment. Vehicle also received a 5 star crash rating.
