I bought a new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT at the beginning of 2012. No problems except for key fob sensor going out on the passenger side.

Why would you ally yourself with nissan and renault unless you want to make a pos product?
No it’s hard to see through at night. 😊
YOU CAN SAY WHAT EVER YOU LIKE.... SO, SO WILL I.......WASTE OF SPACE WANK3R! HOW ABOUT JUST REVIEWING THE CAR, INSTEAD OF CLICK BAITING EVERYONE.
The only good thing about a CVT is that it's able to constantly vary in order to keep engine RPM at a constant ideal amount for the torque curve. The constant RPM annoyed drivers who thought it was a constant unresponsive droning. So now they lock them into set ratios to fake gears just so drivers can hear the engine revving. So why use a CVT at all? Cheaper to make and planned obsolescence! I don't buy cars with CVT transmissions.
Been thinking of buying one, until now.... The moment you mentioned Nissan being involved I got a shudder through my spine. Nissan is known for having a crap CVT on its X-trail, even looking at second hand cars to buy. The X-trail is flooding the secondhand SUV market, with low, low kilometers. Proving the customers want to get rid of the asap. So, if this car shares the gearbox of a Nissan, Mitsubishi will soon also flood the second hand market cheap cheap.

I've owned a 1999 Galant V6, then traded it in for a 2003 Eclipse GTS. A 2nd 2003 Galant for our oldest daughter for college then finally we bought a 2008 regular Lancer for our youngest daughter for college. Other than the 1999 Galant all of us have kept our Mitsubishis. They're excellent in every way!
I don’t like the way it shifts. Long delay between shifts. That’s what I don’t like. And I have a 2024 SLR
Nice suv but i am okay of free of debt
You are so right!
I have a 2014. The best car I have ever owned. Im coveting a new one!!
We have a 2022 outlander awc. Put BF Goodrich trail t/a on. 26000 miles. Problems 0. I do all the maintenance. Dealership are scammers. Tried to say needed back rotors and shoes. Daughter knew better. They look new.
I own a neon limegreen slightshot sl 2023 manual gear and it's sure a head tuner very fast even the kids love seeing it they call it batman car ha ha some people even ask me can i take a photo i say yes sure. I turn my 70s 80s great music on and just cruise mostly along the beach roads almost feels like a jeep without doors but just sitting low to the ground it's just so different that's what makes it so unique everywhere you go peoples will take photos or give you a thumbs up 👍😎. DONT LISTEN TO NOONE IF YOU WANT ONE JUST OWN IT HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE
The transmission shifter is crappy. Like going to a Catholic or Pentecostal church service: up, no down, no side, no up twice, no down twice. Why not make it just like every auto transmission floor shifter that’s been out since the 60’s and 70’s. A better mousetrap was not devised with the Outlander shifter. Big turnoff when I drove it.
Sure, you can eat before swimming, but if you eat too much just before any vigorous exercise, you are very likely to get severe stomach cramps. More to the point, if that vigorous exercise happens to be swimming in deep water, the cramps might make it impossible to swim to safety, especially if you panic, and that is often fatal.
what is this colour?
Just bought one. Love the driving dynamics and looks.
We had a 2018 outlander and loved it. I bought a 2022 when they came out and I love it!
Volvo is going to regret their move to all electric. I hope someone reads this comment in 2030, I predict their share price will fall by 50% by then
Hell no for the price is the best
There are four main reasons why Americans don't buy the current group of Cross Country wagons, from my perspective as a buyer of three Volvo wagons (and a Porsche wagon), plus a '22 XC60. (1) The progression by Volvo away from physical buttons/dials is not welcomed by most Americans, and it's unsafe (goes against Volvo's pre-Geely stance as a safety-first car maker). (2) The current 4-cylinder engines (especially the so-called non-plugin "mild hybrids", and those with superchargers) are just not good, and they get horrible gas mileage compared to the automakers that do "mild hybrid" drivetrains correctly (see Toyota RAV4, e.g.). (3) The instrument panel and infotainment screens are VERY lacking in key information for the driver (and are very non-configurable). (4) They are overpriced for what you get, or don't get (i.e., Nos. 1-3, just mentioned). And I think it's a huge mistake to have panoramic glass standard in the roof; most people don't want/need it (and most of those that "do" are probably conned into it by Volvo propaganda, and the propanda of other luxury automakers). Putting more-expensive sound systems and speakers into Volvos (and other luxury vehicles) is also unnecessary (and just money-makers for the automakers, driving up MSRP needlessly, along with pano glass roofs and wheels that are way too large). Volvo's emphasis (stated) on minimalism just goes too far in that direction; rather, Volvo should look at closely those automakers that are retaining physical buttons/dials and focusing on things that are actually *useful* to the driver when driving (like actual tire pressure, odometer, date/time, etc.), and stop trying to emulate the horrible example of Tesla. And lastly, Volvo has made a huge mistake by not putting their best-ever drivetrain (the current "Extended Range" PHEV drivetrain) into the Cross Country wagons. No Volvos are worth buying, in my opinion (and I've owned or loaner-driven or test-driven them all), except for the current "Extended Range" PHEVs; the "mild hybrids" and the BEVs just are very inferior to the competition in so many ways, but the ER PHEVs that Volvo makes at least somewhat counters the poor interior displays/controls with a really good and useful drivetrain. I'll close by saying that I bought my XC60 because of the ER drivetrain and because Volvo hasn't put that into a Cross Country wagon; I vastly prefer lifted wagons to SUVs, and that has always been a strength of Volvo in my mind. (They have it in the non-lifted wagons, but I need the 8 inches of ground clearance that the Cross Country wagons have.) But I'll be moving on now to another brand because I'm fed up with diving into sub-menus for the most basic of things every day (climate controls, drive-mode controls) and not having basic information displayable in my instrument panel. This is more about design and presentation than it is Americans not liking wagons. Take the PHEV drivetrains of the 2024 GLE 450e and 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid (which means all-electric driving in AWD) with the physical climate and drive-mode controls of the Cayenne, and combine the best of the screen information and quality of those two vehicles, and put them into a Cross Country wagon with the great seats and visibility and space and exterior appearance, and you'd have a Volvo that would sell like hotcakes.
Features my BMW had 17 years ago.
Your bmw had night vision and self closing door 17 years ago?
@@enigmaknowsall8482 2007 BMW 750Li. Night Vision, Active Cruise control, heated cooled seats front and back, massage drivers seat, power front seats 21 ways, power rear seats 14 ways, centre console front and back was heated or cooled dependant on your HVAC settings, also had a full Refrigerator be between the rear seats. 4 zone HVAC with individual settings and knobs for each seat, rear Info, TV, DVD screen. 13 CD/DVD players a single for the driver and 2x 6pack changers. Pre HDD Music and Video. Although there was an 8 CD holder in the front centre console.
Is there a mode in the XDrive model to set it 100% RWD ?
I was interested i the Mitsubishi Outlander until I found out it has a Nissan Rouge power train. Oh no!?
Mitsubishi is super we brought one
Why? Because you sell used cars? I bought a 2017 and now have a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SE and I love it. When they make an American car that runs even half as good as a Mitsu', maybe I'll buy one. But until then I'll drive my Quality car over the pieces of sht you're selling.
You slammed the door!
I've just sold a BMW 5 series touring x drive for a Cross Country D5 Ocean Race .. Volvo wins hands down despite BMW's rave reviews. The build quality of the Volvo is heads and shoulders above the BMW, it is an absolute brick shit house but a luxury one. The BMW felt tinny in comparison. The BMW however was a more cosseted ride, less road noise but overall, the Volvo is what you want if you need something luxury, utilitarian, powerful, and not brash. Also the fact that every tom, dick and Harriet have a BMW... seriously,common as much but still nice but not Volvo nice
😝 Promo*SM
So did you ever drive a previous mode Outlander?
So Volvo will no longer be around in three years 😂😂😂
Moving to almost purely touchscreen infotainment early on with the latest gen xc90 and now all models was the opposite of safe.
Mitsubishi would last until is driven out of the dealer parking lot 😂
The Outlander actually has a different engine than the 22/23 Nissan Rogue, which has a 1.5L Turbo 3-cylinder. It has more power and torque but I think this 2.5L 4-cylinder is a proven engine and will most likely last longer without issues.
Genesis has been that good since 2021. Glad to see Merc is catching up😂
Stupid electric cars 😡 i hope Volvo change their minds.
They aren't stupid, but Volvo is stupid for not putting their ER PHEV drivetrain into their Cross Country wagons.
I have an outlander GT. It has 143k miles no issue and it handled a bad accident with no personal injury.
Hi, I am based in the Uk and have a Diesel V90, Volvo have recently announced they will no longer be producing the V90 for the UK 😢 it’s so sad as Volvo to me has always been about the estate 😢
Didn't know this thanks. What year should I buy? Big difference between 2019, 20, 21, 22 etc?
Man, are you sure what you are saying is correct? Please correct your information. These cars are among the best SUVs we've owned before, and we're happy with them. I don't know if you are spiteful or something. Basically, you are not at the level of this company, Mitsubishi. Who are you to talk about this ancient company, which not only manufactures high-quality cars but also manufactures everything?
ALDIs is not!! A dollar store😂
Let’s see it after a few Wisconsin Winters
This brand used to be so popular during the 80`s and 90`s , i`m glad its coming back.
Hate the wheels and tires on this vehicle. Just not a fan of large diameter wheels with small sidewall tires.
Compared to Tesla because Tesla is a standard reference point and there's a limited selection of EVs. It would be a more direct comparison if there was a $30k Tesla hatchback, or a $40K high-performance Bolt. TeslaModel 2 does not exist.
I wish the 2.5L engine had another 20-30 HP.
Thank you for explaining it in less than 10 mins all confusion ends here.
Don't forget that Mitsubishi now has a Nissan engine they merged.
No, you are
