2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Review - A Great SUV That Only a Few Cared About
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The second generation Mitsubishi Outlander went up against the Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV and Subaru Forester. Not only did it compete with them; it beat them in many regards, so why did it not sell too well? Hint, the answer has three diamonds. After a decade, these cars are cheap on the used market, though. Watch and find out if an old Outlander is a good fit for you.
Best outlander review anywhere on the internet, honest and on point. Thank you
My mother had this one for 9 years. It was amazing...never gave a single problem. Super reliable.
I’m looking at Mitsubishi Outlander that has 185,000 miles on it and I’m unsure how many mile they can get up too
I just got one as my first car so this is nice to know
Fair warning. I own a 2011 GT. Engine, transmission, transfercase and differential are flawless. The rest of the car is falling apart from rust. Avoid a used model if you live above the rust line. The main issue with the Outlander is lack of quality parts. As it ages, the front control arms will give out. Generally you'll find this out during an inspection or wheel alignment. Since you wont have time to wait on a pair of OEM arms from the internet (since there seems to only be a mitsubishi dealer every 500-1000 miles), the shop will only be able to purchase the lower quality aftermarket parts that all fail within a year of install (seriously, regardless of brand all the aftermarket arms fail in a year.)
@@JohnnySnaps good to know
3:58 I actually really like the fact that you still twist something to start the car. You still have the satisfaction of twisting a key, but without having to get the key put of your pocket
I like the twist more than the push button too
Mazda did the same thing for the CX-7 and first generation CX-9.
It was my first car in 2011 where I grew up in Florida. Kept it with me when I went to college in upstate New York where it survived every snowstorm. Lived there for 8 years, 30 minutes from the Vermont border. I really relate with this review - it always gave me a smile on curvy roads. It’s like a Miata style of driving in an SUV, and I have yet to drive another vehicle that can do the same for me. Finished professional school last year and moved to Nevada and took the car with me. I’ve camped in it and have fit furniture in it. Watched mountain sunsets from the tailgate. Surviving 11 years and 100k miles with me strong. My first car. I enjoy driving it so much I don’t want to get a new car, even if someone offered me a free replacement. It’s simple, practical, unique, fun to drive, and there’s something special and lucky with having a car you don’t see on the roads because like how this review nails it, it went “overlooked.”
I have this car as my 5th car. And i even dont Want to get rid of it. I am currently thinking about refreshing all suspension components to make it drive like new again.
Same here. Bought it from 1 owner, absolutely great car. And the space! Just wow.
@@p2p104 Yup! And the rear hatch... Love it when it rains, you sit under it and take off cycling gear, ski equipment, or just change to dry clothes. Standing on the hatch to access the skibox on the roof. Im the only owner of mine, and its going to stay that way for a long time. They dont make cars like this anymore!
no more agee with "It’s like a Miata style of driving in an SUV"
I'm from the UK and have a 2011, GX3 model with the 2.3 DiD engine, with the upgraded leather seats which are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. It has 100,000 miles on it, came with full service history, and is the metallic grey with 18 inch upgraded alloys like in the video. I have to say the refinement, the ride and the MPG which averages 48mpg is fantastic. I love this car. Great video by the way.
I inherited a 2008 with the Rockford Fosgate system from my Dad and its the best vehicle I've ever driven, its fast, comfortable, quiet, handles impeccably, and the stereo is amazing, I also love the hard drive onto which you can record every cd you play. A fantastic motor.
I have heated seats in 2012 Outlander Norway. Also have power seats. The gear shifters are great for decending mountains and fjord roads. I love my Outlander. This car was #1 - #5 sold in Norway for many years.
I have had 2 Outlanders over the past 10 years and I can say they are HIGHLY underrated. Versatile, practical, even looks so good after all these years. I love my reliable landie to bits. It even has cornering lights which turn on when you take a corner, many more thoughtful things like the fact that you can press a button to fold up the rear seats while standing at the boot lid.
im pretty late but hows the reliability?
@@MSU.15 exceptional.
@@AllTheNamesAreGone thanks for replying quickly after a full year because we're looking for a outlander but mayve a 2.4 for my mother yours was a?
@@MSU.15 2.4 petrol, it's a bit thirsty though.
In 2008 i was shoping for a new rav4 or crv with minimal options got fully loaded outlander for like 10 grand less the handling is what sold me my wife still drives it every day i have only changed the rear shocks and a power steering motor
I own a 2011 Outlander 2.4l SE. Been nothing but a great vehicle as I'm 6'6" and always has been comfortable for me although you're right I do wish steering wheel can be adjusted but it still works regardless. Loved the tailgate and the cargo room. Rolling at 105k miles now (brought at 40k miles) nothing but regular maintenance in the last 5 years under my name. I drive off roading in it, went through harsh snow conditions and freezing weather at -40, long road trips, and it goes on, it doesn't fail to impress me! I don't really care about "cheap looking dashboard" people has been saying because I'm all for simple design. This Outlander is just too perfect in my book.
what mpg have you on your car?
@@benz-beemerjaah9780 Sorry for late response! I tends get 430 miles per tank for mostly highway. Average 315 miles per tank for city with few highway driving.
What would you say is a good price to pay for this car at 84,000 miles?
@@glendymarroquin871 I brought it in 2015 when it was 4 years old - I paid $9,500 USD for it with 40k miles. I'm at 112k miles now, If I sell right now - they're priced around $5,800 USD.
@@DrivingandDashcam Thank you for your response!
I have a 2012 GT this thing is a rocket. That 6 cylinder kicks in and I got camaros looking over at me saying WTF. I have only used the shifter paddles once or twice the automatic transmission is smooth and gives me what I need. I had a company pick up for the last several years and it sat with right at 80k on it. Replaced the battery and 4 years later she immediately reminds me why I bought this car. So Much Fun to drive!
Had my 2008 3.0 V6 for 3 years now - absolutely reliable, super fun to drive and quite the looker for its category in our market (Kenya) ... Replaced the radio head unit with a CarPlay stereo and I’ve fallen in love with the car all over again. Paired with the a new Amplifier and the Rockford Fosgate sound system everyone gets super jealous about the quality and loudness of my music haha 😅.
Rear suspension seems to ride low even without cargo and lately having concerns about my braking, really considering upgrading the system.
We have a 2011 Outlander V6. Just like you did, we noticed the rear suspension gets quite low when towing. Our old 2008 didn’t do that
@@EdPMur did you found out a issue about this ?
@Wilko The 2008 was getting up there in mileage and the 2011 had a LOT more options. It is fully loaded while the 2008 was the base model (but with the V6 and AWD). The 2008 was bought new and the 2011 was bought used in 2015
@@LeTuanDtv It doesn’t seem to be an issue, maybe they slightly adjusted something in the 2010 refresh
I had 2 of these, an '07 with the V6 and a '13 with the I4. I definitely missed having the V6 but the '13 had the Rockford Fosgate stereo. That stereo was LOUD. I miss that the most. Never had any issues with both of them. They were great SUVs.
We have a 2011 with the V6 and the Rockford Fosgate system. It’s very nice. It’s our second Outlander and it’s been surprisingly reliable, but not perfect
Looking at buying a 2011 Outlander V6. Curious if you were religious about using premium gas? Or did you just use regular?
I owned one of these in Australia,( the mid spec LS model ) Loved it! Only sold it because I needed a diesel for towing. It was a fantastic car, and surprisingly good off road!
2010 outlander GT 160k miles on it.
Replaced a/c compresor, shocks,and rusty coolant line and regular maintenance all in 14 years of use.
Super reliable, in my opinion
I have taken this suv trough snow storms
And thanks to the great awd have arrived to my destination with ease.
Cargo room is excellent I'm able to fit my mountain bikes inside the car with the front wheel off.
Also I'm able to get 23/24 mpg
On the highway if I feather the gas pedal.
And to top it off only 40 bucks to fill the tank from empty.
I'm planing on keeping this wonderful vehicle until the wheels fall off.
Because I'm looking and can't find anything that can compare to what I have.
I love your final comments about buying this outlander. I have a 2010 XLS. Thrice I’ve wanted to sell and so have can’t make up my mind to part with the outlander just yet even at 285,000 kms
i just got the same year & model as your, i am in love...with this SUV, i used to hate SUV :p 306666km on mine & running like new.
I like how US considers this a small SUV when in Europe it's bigger than 90% of cars on the road, including other SUVs.
Ive seen european roads they seem more narrow than the US im not certain but if so probably why
My 2011 v6 with all the upgrades is the most comfortable leather seats I’ve ever sat in. The Rockford stereo is next level of awesome.
Loved your review bro.. perhaps the best one for Outlander.
I am thinking to buy a 2nd hand and your review does speak out the best covering every important aspect to look into. Thanks bro.. cheers 🍻
No problem, thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the review. I have the GT and to me it feels like a truck. I love it.
Randomly decided to search up the Outlander after recalling it existed. Already like you, nice presenting!
have to say - one of the best auto reviews I've watched lately. and I've watched a couple of hundreds trying to figure out which car I want to own. the answer varies every day, but today it was the outlander 2011. too bad can't find the GT model around.
Just make sure you get the V6 without CVT transmission.
Have a 2010 outlander GT got it new and it’s now 10 years later. At 131K miles. I agree wish it had telescoping feature. One of the few Crossovers still Made in Japan.
I have the 2011 EX got it with 35k miles it has 139k now and it runs as well as when I got it at 35k miles. The body still shines but I did have to paint some areas that were coming off. I replaced the computer once at 120k miles $800 otherwise it's a gem. I just got a 2018 Kia Sorento EX V6 with sunroof but prefer the Mitsubishi for neighborhood/city driving and for getting a quick bite to eat or running errands. It excels at this. The car has no rattles to it and other Otlander Sport models get caught gazing at mine with it's accessories installed.
You installed outlander sport accessories on your outlander?
For sale! Best value out there when it was new or now buying used. I am a fortunate owner of a 2011 outlander gt. Bought it new, now have 84000 trouble free miles on it. Love the SUV but would consider selling to the right person. Still under manufacturer power train warranty!! Txt me if interested...
I have this and i swear this is just a beautiful car!
I’m looking at Mitsubishi Outlander that has 185,000 miles on it and I’m unsure how many mile they can get up too
@@lexyclingan1164 I'm looking to buy a 2013 with 163, 000 miles on it. They are good to at least 250, 000 miles until you have to start replacing items. I'm going to try to get 300,000 miles out of mine😊
@@lexyclingan1164 How about a Lexus?
Bought in 2020, 2.2d Mivec, AWD with 6spd as a daily. Absolutely great car, full options (power and heated seats in front, full lether, rockford audi which sounds absolutly awesome!). Wont sell it tbh, its too great.
I have one of this in Australia. I4 and burns only 9l/100km. Love the Evo looking face
What I love about my 2014 outlander gt, is I’m the only one who has one, it’s sporty handling but excellent awd. And the stereo…oh and the sound when it opens up at 4200rpm
I always love this generation of the Outlander, and the funny part it's that Mitsubishi also parther with PSA to make a rebadge version the Peugeot 4007 and the Citroën C-Crosser
I had mine for 10 years, never let me down on the road as long as your upto date with your maintenance, i have 160 k miles still run like new. He is right its fun to drive, drove it several snow storm no problem at all. It is cheap to maintain. I highly recommend this car if you want a reliable car specially it has timing chain for the 4 cylinder engine.
I drive a 2.2 disel lock dif version of this. It's pretty awesome to be honest and with different wheels - 16" with a bit more fat on them gets rid of the most annoying drawback - it's a bit rough.
Nice review. I am in the market for one as a daily driver so my Montero can be strictly a weekend trail / camping rig.
I am researching that the V6 version with the traditional A/T transmission is the way to go. I am totally fine getting around 22-25 ish MPGs. Its way better than the amazing 14mpgs my 98 Montero gets😅
I'm looking for reviews on the first generation Outlander, but they're very rare, and most of them aren't even in English. So if you can find a first generation to review, I'd appreciate it. Great review of this second generation by the way.
Thank you, I will if I can find one that is somewhat clean!
I feel so bad for Mitsubishi. From being a legendary trend setter, they're now struggling so badly.
Yeah, they kind of became what they used to be the alternative to. The new outlander still has the same engines and transmissions which is a good thing for dependability and power if you get the v6. Outside of the reliable powertrain, it doesn't offer a feature that separates it from the competition like the super low cargo floor, lancer looks, split tailgate and trick awd system (i guess it still has that at least). But they got rid of all of their cool cars to try to save themselves and it has so far worked. They are back to their pre-recession sales in the US at least. But at what cost!
@@Realistick i live in India and here they dont have 1 good car and after this version of Outlander the new ones just look like a van and not what it was meant to be. Look how they massacred my boy.😪💔
sad to hear but that's a great reference 😂
Love this car. It’s my first and still using it
Yes I think the outlander was highly slept on, but I just made a video on the one I just purchased. Love the driving oTt if the video to see it in action.
Lmao, yeah, might come off slightly biased. However, if it eases your mind, I didn't buy it until a few weeks after I shot the review and I was not in the market really. My car just had high mileage and this was pretty cheap. The review would have been the same either way, Thanks for watch until the end!
@@Realistick yeah it was finally great to see a video where someone understands the Outlander's value proposition! It's a REALLY solid vehicle.
Just checked your video, that's not the same car. The car you tested is a much smaller crossover called Mitsubishi ASX everywhere else in the world, except in USA where it's called Outlander Sport: It has nothing to do with a proper Outlander. Not a bad car at all, just lacks the space and ground clearance of real Outlander.
Daumex yes but same difference both have cut tranny I personally ally Luke the more co pact one. Looks more sporty
Dannit...I wish I got the v6....but heh..10 yrs still running fine..
Kinda want to buy it as a first car my parents already own a outlander phev and I love that
Honestly, this car should last your entire life if you take care of it just like any other car, but especially Asian branded cars.
I get the early models were in the 90's were junk but these 2009's and up are nothing like their predecessors. I'm getting one today hopefully.
The GLS version in Argentina is quite good, you don't have the 3rd seat row, in exchange you have plenty of room for storage and some other features like leather covers where you rest the elbows. Not all of these has the rockford big speaker at the back, but its sounds great anyway. To be honest the Outlander surpass in many ways other SUVs of it's generation, and has a good relation between mechanics and confort.
My parents have a first generation Outlander, this is their second Mitchu. First they had a ‘91 Lancer for 18 years. Back then Mitchu was a semi premium brand, one of the better Japanese. I remember the Lancer was a really good car, and reliable for a long time. Highly engineered, and good looking. They had a whole lineup of great car. So sad to see, what this company has become. Now they are more known of their air conditioners than cars.
Ummm... Mitsubishi was definitely NEVER anywhere approaching a premium brand. They've always been the econo-box Japanese brand with the focus being on bigger engines which were paid for with shitty interiors. This has balanced out a little in recent years... but they're still pretty flimsy inside.
@@OpposeBill22 Have you ever seen a Galant from the ‘90s? I have a feeling you were in your diapers back than. You are trying to be smart but obviously its not for you!
@@janoskovacs11 I sure did see Galants in the '90s. My neighbour had one. It was a joke, much like higher end Hyundais in the '90s. Just because a brand puts a bunch of lipstick on a pig and tries to be "premium" does not make it so.
@@OpposeBill22 hmm. Maybe they were different in the USa and Europe. The European version was really good
What a great review.
I have a 2011 Outlander SE, and it has the Rockford Fosgate sound system BUT, I don’t know how, I didn’t turn on the sound when I went for a test drive, and it turns out that the sound doesn’t work. Hahaha
But on most of the things you were saying, I could agree, looks and feels cheap in some areas and great in other, I like the way that the windshield sprays the water in a few sprays.
Love the tailgate. The seats are not that comfortable as you said and, I do Uber, so imagine that!!! Haha but in general, people seem to enjoy it.
Did you ever find the issue with the system, maybe it is only a fuse?
Just got a 2014 and had the same issue. Looked online and found that it was a blown Fuse. Drove back to the dealership and had it sorted in an hour. Check your Fuse for radio or Amp. Most likely the issue.. Good luck
Hey guys, thanks for answering.
I’ve tried the fuses, still nothing.
The funny thing is that there’s some kind of buzzing sound that comes out of the speakers (all of them), and it sounds like there’s a ghost trying to contact me hahahaha
Some people said that it could be the amplifier, but I couldn’t buy one yet.
@@tommyboybr ruclips.net/video/a8YEim9kWLA/видео.html you can try to use the same checklist to see if it's any good.
@@maxwella2079
Thanks a lot!
I’m going to try it out today and see if I am able to fix this radio issue once and for all.
I looove my Outlander 2.4; drives amazing, starts right up every time without complaining and has a shit ton of space. The best daily driver in my opinion
Great review. To me Mitsubishis are almost as reliable as a Toyota, and better than Subaru because they don't have headgasket or oil consumption issues. (that's only on 4 cylinder Subarus though, the H6s are great, all of them, new or old) Mitsubishis don't rust as bad as Mazdas or Nissans either. Yes it's a bit "tinny" feeling inside, to me it was just about as refined as my '11 Scion XB. Is it the best, no, but how good do cars really need to be as far as NVH goes? It's not a creak fest in there like early 2000 GM vehicles.
Real reason I was one is because I want a cool AWD setup for snow and most everything is 90% FWD Haldex. Mitsu builds a nice AWD system. I want to look forward to snow days and take my kids out for parking lot drifting. The 3.6R Outbacks have great AWD too with the VDC setup giving a 45/55 front rear split, but they cost a lot more and are a bit vanilla compared to a Mitsu. The 6 cylinders have a decent 5 speed auto with paddle shifters as well, but they went full CVT after '14. I never drove one so I don't know how good they feel in comparison to the Outlander. I only drove a 3.0 model with the 5 speed auto. It was nice, but most of them are old and rusty now.
Enjoy the car, if I don't get one I might find a Montero (Which I drove. It's slow but very fun with the 5 speed auto, loaded with character, and has the visibility of a semi truck) or wait and get a 3.6R Outback.
Yes, I agree, they are pretty dependable, they just don't use the best materials or anything, not much fluff to them. I don't know which country you are from but in the US, the V6 is paired with a 6 speed auto and is actually still available with that powertrain new (3.0l with 6spd auto), the 4 cylinder is CVT only unfortunately but it gets the job done for most I guess. Thank you for the feedback!
I've got the Citroen c crosser, love it, my second one, the first one I had my brother now owns
I absolutely love my 2012...
I can say as well that pre 2010 did NOT have BT Audio- just BT calling. The modules go bad on them. It's beginning to fail in my 2012 and in my moms 2009 it no longer is recognized at all by the head unit lol
Interesting, I ended up actually buying this one and while I haven't had issues with the blue tooth, I have had 2 weird electrical issues. My drivers side drl goes out randomly due to the wire position and my interior lamps go out intermittently
@@Realistick really? I've had no issues with mine in that regard. I did swap out the DRLs for Sylvania LEDs as it felt pretty awkward having dingy cheap day time lights and fancy HIDs for night lights.
I think I can recall the roof interior light going out on my mom's 2009 a while back.
@@tomtom98 Yeah, both are pretty minor issues so I'm not too bothered by it, I never thought of swapping them out for LED! I'm about to buy a new new car so I guess I will hold out on that.
07 - 09 V6 vs 10 - 13 V6. Does anyone know how reliability and overall feel compares?
From what ive read on consumer reports, reliability wasn't an issue on either and there wasn't a big change in the overall package between those years. The v6 got a higher compression, the awd for the v6 got better, and the front got a facelift but that was about it for big stuff Now individual features might have changed, they all got Bluetooth i believe but not so sure about bt audio? Old reviews of the 07-09 model showed that people still thought it was a fun, reliable and a bit unrefined so I would recommend any 2nd gen model really, especially the v6!
@@Realistick Thanks for the quick comment! I've had a 2007 V6 for 2 years and love it. Your review was spot on! Checking out a 2011 V6 tomorrow with lower miles, hoping for the best!

Hi sir, i have same model in india and iam facing right now ECM board due to not working. So kindly help me to get New ECM board.
I remember my English college professor having one of these......Memories 👍🏾
I have the VRX, its a great car going 8 years strong! See if you can swap out the steering wheel for the EVO model style. it adds a lot to the interior quality. FYI, great video on what I think is a great car.
I didn't know you could do that! I am currently saving all of my RUclips money to put toward a project involving the outlander so that might be one of the things I do with it.
Intriguing car because on paper, the Mitsubishi Outlander should have put up a much better fight than it did. But fresh out of the global recession it was the Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 that were the biggest winners. A poor reputation of being cheap and unreliable while being not abundantly value priced is what allowed it to be forgotten while Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Volkswagon weathered the storm.
For all it’s intelligent design features and tech, the interior was very cheap with brittle hard plastics and a loaded diaper steering wheel. The seats also lacked any ergonomic bolstering. I like the in a pinch 3rd row and split tailgate. Mitsubishi deserved better.
Honestly, it just needed a little more budget, as far as reliability goes, it pulls ahead of others from the era when it comes to the more important things. The cheapness of certain areas really did tank its mass appeal though. I wish the new one didn't get rid of all the cool stuff this one had like the looks, tailgate, and fun to drive nature.
Im getting Citroen C Crosser 2.4 this week, which is more or less same car isnt it as outlander?
I believe so
Did you say "accommodable"?
I absolutely loved my 2011 Outlander V6 XLS with navigation and the Rockford Fosgate stereo. The seats were SUPER comfortable, not sure what you're talking about there. BUT at 115,000KM (I dunno what that is in miles, maybe around 70K?) the transmission started slipping out of gear randomly and it was also clunking in and out of gear constantly whenever you were stopped at a light. So, upon the advice of a trusted transmission mechanic, I traded it in, much to my dismay. I expected to keep this beloved SUV a LOT longer... now I have a car payment again, long before I wanted to. :(
Seat comfort can vary from person to person, I've definitely got used to them but still can't call them comfortable for myself, most people agree with me who have sat in the front seats, but not all. I will say, was it doing it when it was cold? Because at stoplights, the v6 transmission was actually designed to come out of gear and into neutral to save gas. I ended up buying this one a few weeks after I did this review and it has always done what you described but it's never had any actual problems, and when it isn't cold, it's fine usually.
@@Realistick No, not cold. In fact, it only usually did it when it was warmed up. And according to the mechanics at the dealership it's not designed to come out of gear at stop lights at all (not that they can't be mistaken). EIther way, I lived with that for a long time, but when it literally started falling out of gear and revving all to hell while driving down the road is when I really started taking the transmission issue more seriously. The transmission for the V6 is notoriously impossible to get parts for and very expensive to fix. Hence my decision to get rid of it. I wasn't willing to take the risk of facing a repair bill equal to the value of the vehicle when I could just trade it in for a new one now. Doesn't sound like a very common problem, but that was my unfortunate experience, nonetheless.
Great Review! thanks. im having a hard time deciding on which car to upgrade my honda crv 1999. here in Argentina, this one and the rav4 and honda crv 2011 are at the same price as the outlander. Can i ask for advise on which one do you think will go better? i live in a mountain town and want to do a lot of roadtripping. When you said not inspire you to go on a roadtrip i felt sad hahaha. anyway. thanks again!
Thanks, if you need the most reliable car, if the Rav4 has the 2.5L or 3.5L then I would go with that. The outlander will handle better, the 3.0l v6 makes it more fun too and the awd system is better but I would definitely go Rav4 if it is the same price and we are comparing 4 cyl to 4 cyl.
Great video!
Was wondering.... Does anyone have one of these with high mileage? If so any issues or expensive repairs?
227,500km had to change the gas tank because it was badly rusted (live in eastern canada) the fuel pumps are crazy expensive in canada $2,500 luckly was able to buy a used one for $150 other then that super reliable
@@darrendevastation WTF😲
For us Indians, we would expect this specific Gen of Mitsubishi Outlander to be launched with only diesel engines, which also includes Groupe PSA's 2.2L DW12 _(2179cc)_ diesel engine, and is also popular in many Indian SUV's and pickup trucks and that also they are Non-PSA vehicles. I like Outlander the most of Mitsubishi, but this one is more appealing to me, for it was the last one to have button functions in cockpit, and special rear opening allowing Luggage to be kept on the floor of the lower gate.
looking forward to owning one
Very nice review, so you bought it! congratulation! it is actually a very good car.
Great Review! I love Mitsubishi ❤️
Hello! Did you still the owner of this mitsubishi on 2023? #justcurious i did really enjoy this kind of reviews.
Thank you for the review, currently I have two options that are blowing my mind, some one can help me please
1. Outlander 2014 ES 2.4L version, 75,000 Km US$8,760 (Price is a reference, I'm not in US)
2. Outlander 2011 Limited V6 4x2 3L version, 85,000km US$8,900
Both with a year warranty
Please help! I'm moving out of the city but my work is "in" the city the dayli travel is around two hours, one go, and one back.
There is a significant difference of altitude from my work to my house 1,000mt so yes, the half of the way is up, up and up.
Which of the options can you recommend?
Thank you in advance.
I'd say the 4 cylinder in this case. If you're driving that much, you will save on gas and the newer model is a little quieter. The v6, previous gen model is much more fun and quirky though! You won't regret either one imo, the v6 is nice on the highway and still gets reasonable gas mileage, but the 2011 has less insulation and is not as comfy as the newer ones. Best of luck!
@@Realistick thank you very much for your opinion and quick answer, yes I'm sure that the V6 is pure fun but, real life demand the 4cylinder, I suppose in my subconscious I knew it, but I Just need that little push to do de right thing.
Thank you again 🙏🏼
I have a 2012 and should have the same 6 speed auto and it is a duel clutch auto. Heavy floor mats, added extra insulation in tailgate and rear quarter panels. It is loud. Very reliable at 125000 miles.
I ended up buying this one a few weeks after I shot this video! After putting in insulation, would you recommend that I put some in too?
@@Realistick I bought a new 2012 Outlander XLS V6 and had roof racks, DVD player and a hitch installed when I bought it. Since we took possession of the vehicle from purchase we went camping and the back end bottomed out quite a bit and it did not seem stable. Took it back and they replaced the back springs which was better but I have always hated the rear suspension in this vehicle. Other than that I enjoy and can live with everything else it has to offer. It has been functional for me with only regular maintenance to be performed. The other thing was as you said in your video... the seats (especially the front) are very uncomfortable and I found that I too had neck pain for a long time before I got use to it. I also hate the 3rd row and would never put anyone that I care about back there.... actually, I never have used them and often thought of taking them out. Engine is good and stereo is very good but I can not figure out how to delete the songs on the HD.... Rust has not been an issue and in 2020 it has close to 200Kms on it; going strong. I hope to keep it for a few more years. Cheers from Ontario, Canada
@@Realistick Forgot to mention that yes, it is the loudest vehicle I have ever owned.... especially coming from a Honda Pilot. :)
I wish I had the chance to buy the V6 model, the I4 CVT blew up on me at 150k.
Generally curiously, did you upkeep with drains out CVT fluid for new fluid every 40k? And replaces two CVT filters?
I have same model as your, rolling at 180k currently. When I took my Outlander in for CVT service 1st time under my name at 70k, I asked for filters to be replaced. They flat out lied me that they're sealed and not serviceable. It's a total BS. Lost my business with them.
This looks great in person
the same car, having NO sound yet the radio is on what could be the problem
The timing belt on the V6 is a ROYAL PITA to do.
Interesting, i just had someone replace it for me along with the usual stuff for 400
At first it was a little concerning seeing you standing next to the car. I'm 6'2" and a family friend wants to sell me his Outlander at a great price but I'm used to having very little head clearance in cars or not being able to wear my long hair up in a bun. Thank you for going over the seating situation and mentioning that that you're 6'3"😂
Ah yes, the outlander is tall people friendly! The only thing that is less than ideal for me was how the steering wheel didn't come out any further since it only tilts.
Is it worth buying used after 300k?
I am currently looking at a 2011 gt. It has awd and the v6. It has 140k miles. Is there anything to look out for?
The powertrains in these are really strong but they have some questionable areas. Be sure to see the car when it is clean so you can really check the paint. The third rows tend to get torn up so check that out too, they usually shake a little bit but you’re going to want to make sure it's still safe. I ended up buying the one you saw in this video (not planned) and I have only had issues with it making noises from the third row and the steering wheel (a screw needed locktight). The body hardware inside and out would probably be what i would look closest at. With a higher mileage car like that, get it inspected at a local mechanics shop, you will appreciate the $50 it might cost! The engine and trans should be good but there are a ton of moving parts, especially with AWD so get it inspected. I definitely recommend this after 9 months of ownership, I wish I got one with awd
I recommend the AWC 2.4L mivec variant in snow it feels like a evo *smack lips like italian*
Best review! Trying to understand what can fit where... this explained it all...:D :D :D
I know this video is extremely old but didn’t anybody else notice the huge dent on the fender above driver side tire! 😳🤔
Actually got the dent removed right after the video was filmed!
What should I check before getting a used 2011 outlander?
Small electrical things, make sure all of the lights, windows work. Check out a lot of the interior trim as well, they are cheap so those things sometimes break and that could get you a cheaper price. Other than that, pay close attention to the suspension and exhaust and it should be good. I'd really just recommend taking it to an independent mechanic before purchasing though. The v6 models also came with a weird transmission that puts itself into neutral to save gas and that can feel slightly clunky, especially when cold, just a heads up there.
@@Realistick the one I saw has 222k miles for 3k. Is that too much mileage or does it really matter as long as they they took care of it?
@@brucevanguard8398 I'd be pretty cautious. If it is well taken care of, it can last 300k miles, but if it is a 4 cylinder, be cautious of the transmission. And get it inspected, the last thing you want is a 3k car that becomes a 5500 dollar car after it needs a full suspension rebuild, AC, and electrical work. It's worth the 70 or 80 dollars!
2011 OS SE economic lil tank that sips gas and can handle all terrains
Are this car comfy ride?
So did you recommend to buy in 2023 this car?
IF YOU SEE A GOOD 2012 MODEL V6 USED ONE WITH DECENT MILEAGE . GO FOR IT. IF NOT GOT FOR 2014 MODEL
I'm planning on getting one of these so I would say yeah go for it I think this is good for 2024
Fair warning. I own a 2011 GT. Engine, transmission, transfercase and differential are flawless. The rest of the car is falling apart from rust. Avoid a used model if you live above the rust line. The main issue with the Outlander is lack of quality parts. As it ages, the front control arms will give out. Generally you'll find this out during an inspection or wheel alignment. Since you wont have time to wait on a pair of OEM arms from the internet (since there seems to only be a mitsubishi dealer every 500-1000 miles), the shop will only be able to purchase the lower quality aftermarket parts that all fail within a year of install (seriously, regardless of brand all the aftermarket arms fail in a year.)
Also, on the subject of rust, theres a metal coolant line that hangs off the bottom of the transmission accessible from the driver side wheel well. It will rust out right at one of the clamps.
Mitsubishi doesnt make the part anymore so you'll have to rig up some 5/8" rubber coolant line to make it work.
the CVT is highly unreliable, definitely avoid I4 models.
There's recall for control arms just few weeks ago. Check in with your dealership.
@@DrivingandDashcam That recall is for the subframe corrosion. The OEM control arms are fine. The aftermarket arms mentioned above use terrible ball joints and bushings compared to OEM.
My wife has a 2011 RAV4 4x2 V6. I own and drive this. No contest. She torches my Mitsubishi.
But toyota stopped making those like 10 years ago. While mitsubishi kept their v6 till early 2022.
I own a 2012 gt and it really atends me. the only point is that its look beautiful some days and ugly in others. just like myself
Dude I had a Outlander 2009 AWC, and my new car is outlander 2019 AWC different color same everything else really... Everything said.
( ours in Canada come with CVT and 2.4L 170hp mivec engine default or 3.0L V6 mivec with automatic 6 speed optional) no standard gearbox.
2.4L is what i got and it's enough feels good, also fuel economy is legendary
Also since 2019 they're all AWC and 2020's and all S-AWC nothing else. (because we live in snowland)
Oh yeah and the 2019 interior is alot better and so is the sound proofing of the overall vehicule.
Oh yeah #2 and Andriod auto + Apple car, reverse cam, automatic heating is standard... so is A/C and heated seats... I could go on
Please what’s the MPG for the V6
Spec sheet in the beginning!
that's it, I'm getting one
9:16 mitsubishi's secret
OH btw here in Canada all I see is second gen Outlanders and still ALOT of mitsubishi lancers

Does this one aux input
Yes, it's just a weird one with left and right channel inputs.
GREAT CAR !
Why is it that in the USA, cars with *diesel engines* are *IGNORED..?* What's more, cars with *manual transmissions* are also *IGNORED..?* Happily in Europe, there ARE *manual transmission cars,* ALSO with *diesel engines* - such as a the 170 BPH 2.2 Litre diesel, with variable valve timing for great economy. This is not the fault of the guys who do the reviews - but believe it or not, the USA is NOT the centre of the universe, and OTHER cars ARE made for the European market...
? I wish we had more manuals and diesels too but I've never driven an outlander with either of those, nor have I ever seen one. They might exist but if I tried talking about one I could very easily say something wrong. If you want to hear about those powertrains, be more specific in your search and you will get those results. I never hear Europeans talk about the American powertrains for this reason too. I'd love to have those cars here but we are never going to see them so I am not going to make my reviews any longer to potentially say something wrong about a powertrain I know nothing about (and have no clue on its availability too)
@@Realistick In which case maybe you should take a trip to Europe sometime, where both diesel cars and manual transmission cars are abundant. In numerous cases, you can actually get a diesel car with manual transmission. In fact, in Europe manual transmission cars outnumber automatics by a massive degree.
I to buy this car. How much is it.
Somehow mitsubishi's cvts hold up
Yes, despite them technically being jatco, they tweak them to make them not be like Nissans!
@@Realistick it's so weird to me how they did it. I've seen a few mirages with over 300k on the original cvt with no maintenance
Who cares about petrol? Its all about punchy diesels
Tell that to American market, we have virtually no diesel options outside of trucks and old VWs
Ikr.... bizarre
@@mrmoralman1 Yes, I just got done driving a Toyota Tacoma (midsize truck like a Hilux) and I definitely felt the need for a diesel in it. Everything will be electric before anything like that happens here though
@@Realistick have you tried a modern euro style diesel? My god they have come a long way (despite corruption re emissions). Tru - electricity the future
Loose the hippie guitar.. 🤦🏽♀️
*lose*
@@Realistick you got that. 😂 Lose it!!
@@love4lust7301 haha, yeah, I wasn't a big fan of my soundtrack choice for this one. I choose different songs for each review so sometimes some are good, some are meh.
2024 now. Hay people.. How are them CVT transmissions holding up over time??
I’m honestly thinking of it as an option for my first car 🥲
I cared ... cuz I have one 👊🏻😬👍🏻💯🙏🌏🤍
