2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
Overall a great ride, I love this car and wouldn't trade it for anything else on the market. At least for what I use it for that is.

I needed something that I could use for my outdoor adventures and still be able to drive it for work purposes and drive around the city and not have it look like I have been off playing in the woods all day long.

This is a great ride for leaving the city early from work on Friday afternoon and heading to the mountains for a day of mountain biking or snowboarding.

I would really have liked to see Mits offer some additional addons for this including side steps, higher clearance level, a bull bar (brush guard). For a crossover that is meant to be designed for use in the back country the car lacks the protection needed to keep the exterior looking nice when you have been tooling around in the back country for a few days.

The 3rd row seating is also extremely disappointing; very conformable and doesn't feel overly secure when sitting in it, especially on bumpy road conditions. Leave the 3rd row seats out and go with the extra storage area. Granted to do this means not purchasing the XLS but a dealer with a service department worth anything will be able to remove the 3rd row seating and add the storage area. Keep the 3rd row in your garage except when you need it then throw it on in there.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander?
Nice exterior design, comfortable inside, handles nice if tires and brakes are new, lots of room inside passenger and cargo areas. Other than that.....DON'T BUY A MITSUBISHI! BOYCOTT THEIR VEHICLES AND SAVE YOURSELVES MONEY AND HEADACHES! IF YOU HAVE A MITSUBISHI CAUSING YOU PROBLEMS, HIRE AN ATTORNEY!!!!

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander?
New Mitsibushi ownership to improve Outlander quality, service, management and customer service! Gas mileage no where near sticker estimate. Only gets decent mileage if you stay at 40 MPH with no elevation changes. Needs premium gasoline even though owner's manual says all grade of gas ok.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
Liked vehicle until engine problems started within 2 weeks. First month car was in service dept. for 2 weeks because vehicle was surging so badly it couldn't be driven (not a gasoline problem). Mitsu. Service said they had a "memo" (not recall) that computers needed to be reprogrammed for such problems. At 8,000 miles and under warranty, 3 tires were bad with uneven wear. and at 10,000 miles I broke down when front brakes went through to metal, which has NEVER happened to me! Mitsubishi Tow (free through my purchase agreement) never showed and at midnight after work I was stranded in bad location for 2 hours until towed by another company, which I paid for. Mitsu. Service did a free alignment under warranty because the car was making a clunking noise in front end and was pulling to the right, charged me for brakes and rudely brushed me off on any responsibility. Also said 3 tires (4th tire was in good condition) wouldn't have unevenly balded at 8,000 miles if I had rotated them. Mitsu. said my driving must have caused problems, even though I told them I took Outlander to 2 independent shops who both said something was seriously wrong with front end. Told Mitsu. Manager I have a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT sport car (which has had a broken CD player since purchase after Mitsu. replaced it 5 times with refurbished ones!) and a 1998 Ford truck that have never had ANY brake or tire problems, nor has any other vehicle I've owned in my several decades. (At 10,000 miles I bought 4 new BF Goodrich tires for the Outlander since I have had exceptional wear from this brand over the last 30+ years.)
Approx. 1 year after purchase, rear passenger window came off track and I had it repaired. Window came off track again so badly that I have to leave key on, walk around car and hand feed window up in order to close it. Last week window broke for good and won't open or close. I know, it "must be the way I'm driving". Service Manager at the dealer was an a-hole to me several months ago when I called him about window coming off track again and other continuing problems with Outlander.
Have now owned Outlander 26 months and 26,000 miles: On 3RD set of front brakes and 2ND set or rear brakes, 2ND complete set of new tires, now bad, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THEM ROTATED between 6 & 7,000 MILES...guess that isn't the problem. Have spent a small fortune repairing this PILE OF CRAP that is stll in warranty. I am now shopping for another crossover from a reputable company. Am glad Mitsubishi appears to be going out of business so they can't screw over anyone else like they have screwed me.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
My outlander xls is a bulletproof car, very good transmission, better than my Lexus ES350 I think. The paint is better than more expensive cars.

Easy to clean in and out, nothing complicated in the engine compartment meaning is easy to replace parts and fix any problem. This worth the money that you paid. I am happy with this car.

This is an outstanding vehicle and one that I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a chic crossover, with a roomy interior, and car-like drive. I just love my Outlander and it was the right move for me to make from a full size SUV to the Outlander.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
With 17 mpg/city and 28 mpg/highway, Mitsubishi should improve the Outlander mpg. The LS 2007 has no powered seats. The rest of the Outlander is acceptable, including the price.

The 2007 Outlander is very classy looking compared to former models.
I have mistaken mine with the similar Lexus suv, on a few occasions.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander?
I love just about everything about my Outlander except that I would have made the lower part of the front grill more eye appealing.
Clock & radio stations should be brighter.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
The ride is very comfortable and the Sirius radio and speaker system are better than most comparably priced cars.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
I purchase a 07 Outlander LS from Courtesy in Attleboro Massachusetts. I had the clunking sound in the front end, the wind noise from the mirror which both problems were addressed and repaired in one day. After repairs were made, I had a terrible wind noise from the top of the drivers & passenger doors which they could not diagnose. Also a clicking sound coming from the windshield where it meets the dash area sounding like the windshield was not seated properly. I also had a squeeking sound coming from the suspension which they could not diagnose either. This vehicle only had 1900 miles on it. At that point, they had the Mitsubishi rep come and go on a test drive with me. The man played deaf and dumb. He said whatever I was hearing was a characteristic of the vehicle. Well, I told him that the vehicle was a lemon and basiclly a piece of junk. I got no where with that so I went to another dealership, East Providence Mitsubishi and traded that clunker in. Ended up having to pay $3000.00 dollars more for the new one which I added sun & the rockford fosgate stereo to. Nicer truck but developed the same problems but this time added a new problem, sunroof rattle & the right rear window clunking when opened a quarter of the way. Needless to say, this dealer ship can't fix any of the problems either. I am fed up with Mitsubishi's and will NEVER buy another one of their products and have also Recommended to all my friends and collegues to stay clear of all of their products. They are nothing but junk boxes with incompetentservice departments and un-caring personnel. A very dissatisfied customer. Since, The junk outlander has been traded in yet again with more of a loss for the very depenable Subaru Outback. So long Mitsibishi.

Jump start right off the bat. One you touch the acceletator you'll begin to experience the incredible experience of a japanese engine. Bluetooth and Sirius service on the navigation system is awesome (although the N. system is outdated). Surround sound is excellent and the new design is attractive.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander?
Electric chair on the passanger side and more cup holders

Bottom line:

If you're looking for a modern experience and great speed the Outlander 2007 xls is just the right choice. Love the price compare to other models that seem to be overpriced

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
I beleive that Mitsubishi did almost everything right here. The Outlander is a well equipped refreshment to the compact SUV market. Its lack of power however is puzzling and should be offering a turbocharged version to really hit it home!

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Review:
At first glance the 2007 Outlander seems to be a well equipped mid sized SUV for the money. Be careful because you get what you pay for. I found that out the hard way and am trying to save you the troubles I have been going through with this SUV. I have only owned it for less than 3 months. The accessories seem like cheap "Wal-Mart Quality". The super cheap carpet mats already have holes in them after 14,000 miles and the weather striping loses it's elasticity, you'll also find the inferior stereo isn't up to the task of drowning out the road noise. I am 5'3" and average weight and would say the driver's seat with cloth is extremely uncomfortable after sitting in it for an hour for someone like me. It is ok at first but begins to give you cramps after a while and I feel exhausted. Maybe the leather interior would solve this. Also upgrade to the Rockford Fosgate audio system if you truly must buy this SUV. I have been to the dealer 3 times already for broken electronic gauges and lights and have been left stranded with a broken fuel pump once but this is expected with such a new vehicle. I know Mitsubishi is not doing very well and I guess they decided to skimp on quality to make more money. If you are truly interested in the Outlander try to rent it for a day or two. I do not think you will like it very much. I average 18 MPG in mixed driving with the A/C on 22 MPG with it off. I do not believe Mitsubishi's mileage estimates are very accurate at all. I do like other Mitsubishi SUV's and would recommend the Mitsubishi Endeavor to anyone but DO NOT BUY a outlander.
