The steering through deep snow is amazing. Being electric and disconnected from the actual tires, the steering wheel doesn't get forced around by the force on the tires. So much winter driving control.
The steering issue might be the manufacturer's choice of tires. I have a 2011 Lexus ES350 that came with Michelins. It always needed micro corrections until at 27,000 miles I changed the tires to Hankook Noble1 S2~~~Problem solved!
I’ve got the 2.2 turbo diesel...heaps of torque, and 42 mpg. Also has the proper automatic transmission, not the rubbish CVT. It’s very reliable. Very little’ wow factor’, but it’s competent and very reliable.
Thanks for the great video. I drove the 2016 model last week and, although I wasn't impressed, I really enjoyed your take on this car. Here's my short review on the 2016 model.
Hey Zack! First of all I do really enjoy your reviews, you hold the viewer all the way through until the end which is hard to do. Great job! Do you think you will get to review a 2017 Mirage GT or Mirage G4? Anyway we are thinking of buying a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT with Navigation, Rockford Fosgate 9 Speaker Audio System and the Panoramic Glass Roof. You seemed to really like the 2016 Outlander Sport so would you recommend it? For the Price, ($2,500.00 Rebate, $500.00 Loyalty Cash) Features, and 10yr100,00mile Warranty I think it is the best option for us over most other Small SUVs. I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES and I really love the car and it has been super reliable and fuel efficient over the last 15 months of ownership. I know you love the Mirage (kidding lol) for its refinement and speed lol. I know its not the most refined or fast car but it was perfect for me with all the features (Navigation, Back Up Camera, Parking Sensors Front & Rear, Push Button Start, Keyless Access, Automatic Climate Control, Chrome Package, Cargo Package, Bodyside Moldings, Sport Exterior Package, Bluetooth, Cruise, PW, PL, PM, CVT, AC and More) fuel econemy, and I only paid $16,700.00 in the end for my fully loaded one. When Ivlooked at other competitors I would have paid $20,000.00 to $23,000.00 for other small cars with all of these features and alot of these features were unavailable in many small cars. But anyway, back on point, I really love the new Outlander Sport GT and I think we will be getting one this week. Any certain things you really liked about it and you also mentioned it feels much better after this redesign/update right?
All-Weather tires need to become Standard in Canada, if not everywhere, assuming they still have all-season equipped. put all-weather tires on a 4X4/AWD & your GTG for life IMO ;-) Full Electric will be my next purchase, RVR Electric is OTW I believe ;-) Love the RVR ;-)
I would like to know about the i terior noise level. I have Honda Civic and it sound like i have the windows open all the time!! looking for an affordable car that is an upgrade and more insulated .. can someone please let me know what your experience when driving in highway is ..thank you.
In Belgium we had a sporty 1.8L diesel with 150HP but since the facelift only a 1.6L petrol remains ... ASX is doomed here without a diesel , still over 60% dieselbuyers in SUV 's & XO's . Belgium is very dieseloriented , we even had diesel in the Kia Picanto & Smart ForTwo ...
Thanks for this review! Thanks for explaining the dead on center feel of steering! Never knew what that really meant when I would read about it. I feel this was a very honest review of the outlander sport (I am in Georgia) I drove the last gen and found it to have a ton of engine noise. Is this any quieter?
The dead feeling on the steering wheel, is it because it's electric power steering wheel and not hydraulic power steering wheel? Hence, not getting the feedback you were looking for?
Need to know if 2010 model of Mitsubishi RVR and outlander are the same , actually I need catalytic converter for RVR/ASX 2010 MODEL , since parts of outlander are available in Dubai to need the confirmation
Is it very dificult to get the Canadian version of any vehicle in the U.S.? More interested in the Honda CR-V. It has more options that aren't offered here in the states
competitor to the Crosstrek and the new VW All Sport(?). I think these three vehicles are a bit better sized than the HRv and CX3 imho. Hopefully, the new next gen of those grow a bit. I need need to drop one or two seats if I need to carry extra cargo in the Crosstrek,
xxgg Tuscon for me in this class of ute. If I was shopping for a ute in this price range of course. I don't drive or like CVT transmissions like Honda uses with their products.
Mitsubishi always has rebates and discounts. Honda doesnt. Also this has more horsepower even in base form than a Honda HRV or Mazda Cx3. And a longer warranty. Both things add value.
Motormouth Canada I did. No mention. You did another video for another channel for the rvr black where you break down the button an it's three presets. I don't hear you doing that here. Perhaps you are confusing this video with that?
very good review but since i own a 2014 rvr 1.8 petrol i want to clears a few things out.this is not a mazda cx3nor a honda hrv competitor.its bigger than them.it should be compared to the nissan quashqai.ythis is not a city car.its just about ok in the city but its nicer on a highway run.i will go to the mitsubishi showroom in a weeks time to look at the new one.have called them and they will have a 2.2 diesel automatic demo there.the price they have quoted me is around 27,000 euros.
Mitsubishi should concentrate on making HVAC units and Forklifts and stop making cars. Most Mitsubishi dealers around the GTA have more inventory of other brand than they do have Mitsubishi.
I have a 2019 and its complete junk worst car or truck or whatever it supposed to be i fuckin hate it with a passion /im just going to beat it till it dies
+misamisatv not really here in south east asia, mitsubishi trying really hard to sell their cars because most of people here tend to go for toyota,honda and nissan... mitsubishi has poor resale value and bad aftersales here in my country and many asian countries
bimosalexandres It's an economy brand. Cars are like appliances to a lot of people and that's the target market. At least they are strong in the commercial truck industry.
Actually not at all. They have had double digit % sales increases every year since 2012. They are on par to sell over 100k unts in the USA alone this year. Steady increases each year since 2012 low point.
Very shitty vehicle. High price with barely any functions. The inside is all plastic. Shape is nice and that's it. Ford escape titanium is way better for the same price
High price compared to what. Its the lowest priced brand out of the entire market of the same type of compact SUV. Ford Escapes are like 5K more for the mid models. And the Ford Escape has 3 years warranty, this has 5. Plus the 10 year transmission and engine
The steering through deep snow is amazing. Being electric and disconnected from the actual tires, the steering wheel doesn't get forced around by the force on the tires. So much winter driving control.
Zack always is the best car reviewer on youtube in my opinion. Voted for my favorite old man
Bahahaha! This old man thing is really sticking - I like it! Old man Zack!
Now that's how you do a proper car review. No BS straight to the point.
When are you going to make one?
Its amazing all the products Mitsubishi produces,missiles,submarines,tanks,ac units etc.They should be dominating the car industry.
They were but the "original " Me Too movement ruined it all.
They’re a true conglomerate
I have one and love it no AUX necessary
The 10-year warranty and the fact that Mitsubishi courts sub-prime buyers explains their success.
You dont read the fine print do you. Its 10 yr OR 10,000 km whichever is first.
160000.
Here in new zealand its 100,000 kms
its 10 yrs or 160,000kms.. Maybe you need glasses when you read the fine print.

It’s very reliable. Very little’ wow factor’, but it’s competent and very reliable.
How’s it In 2024? I’m thinking of buying a used one
Thanks for the great video. I drove the 2016 model last week and, although I wasn't impressed, I really enjoyed your take on this car. Here's my short review on the 2016 model.
Nice Compact SUV :-)
people who owns it loves it.

I prefer the old Mitsubishi front look. The new one looks like a Volkswagon.
All cvts should have paddle shifters STANDARD! I have them in my 16 accord sport and they are awesome! They liven it up
All-Weather tires need to become Standard in Canada, if not everywhere, assuming they still have all-season equipped. put all-weather tires on a 4X4/AWD & your GTG for life IMO ;-)
Full Electric will be my next purchase, RVR Electric is OTW I believe ;-)
Love the RVR ;-)
I own an 13 , changed the stock toyo tires to briigestones!, much better ride& handling, wish I could find a evo turbo in the junkyard to throw on it.
Do any of u think this would be a good teen first car
I would like to know about the i terior noise level. I have Honda Civic and it sound like i have the windows open all the time!! looking for an affordable car that is an upgrade and more insulated .. can someone please let me know what your experience when driving in highway is ..thank you.
in Australia we call it the ASX
The same in Mexico.
In Russia it's called the ASX.
In Philippines we call it the ASX.
The Outlander and the ASX are two different vehicles
SirDaniel Winter thank you, didn't know that
Possibly an adjustment to the toe at an alignment shop that wouldn't mind putting it out of spec would solve the steering feedback.
In Belgium we had a sporty 1.8L diesel with 150HP but since the facelift only a 1.6L petrol remains ... ASX is doomed here without a diesel , still over 60% dieselbuyers in SUV 's & XO's . Belgium is very dieseloriented , we even had diesel in the Kia Picanto & Smart ForTwo ...

I feel this was a very honest review of the outlander sport (I am in Georgia) I drove the last gen and found it to have a ton of engine noise. Is this any quieter?
If you want to fix the dead steering then you actually need wider tires and suspension braces.
Piano black or high gloss materials are dumb in a car cabin. NON REFLECTIVE makes more sense for a number of obvious resons
This isn't an outlander its an ASX i'm confused.
Great description of what matters in a car...thanx.very usfull ifo.
the fact that this car falls between crv and hrv makes a bit more sense, but the brand is nowhere is North America .
The dead feeling on the steering wheel, is it because it's electric power steering wheel and not hydraulic power steering wheel? Hence, not getting the feedback you were looking for?
Many other companies use electric power steering with much better results. Try a Honda Civic for example.
Yup, electric steering is a way to go, specially during extreme cold during winter where most of the hydraulic power steering keeps on leaking.
The electric steering needs a couple different settings like sports, city / urban and touring.
Need to know if 2010 model of Mitsubishi RVR and outlander are the same , actually I need catalytic converter for RVR/ASX 2010 MODEL , since parts of outlander are available in Dubai to need the confirmation
here in Australia its called ASX....
Wish it took on the RVR namesake, as we did get the RVR back in the day.
We get the "RVR" in Kenya
Does Mitsubishi still source their CVTs from Nissan's Subsidiary? Or do all Japanese car manufactures do these days? (Thanks!)
What a great review of this car. Thank you.
Is it very dificult to get the Canadian version of any vehicle in the U.S.? More interested in the Honda CR-V. It has more options that aren't offered here in the states
Could Mitsubishi bring back the high-perfomance cars now belongs to Nissan ?
wtf it comes standard with 16 inch STEEL OR ALLOY WHEELS???? WHICH ONE IS IT THOUGH?
Depends on the trim.
Isn't steel an alloy?
Bruno TaTa "DUH!!" AND "NO"
In Costa Rica thats an ASX
competitor to the Crosstrek and the new VW All Sport(?). I think these three vehicles are a bit better sized than the HRv and CX3 imho. Hopefully, the new next gen of those grow a bit. I need need to drop one or two seats if I need to carry extra cargo in the Crosstrek,
We get the "ASX" in Jamaica.
Do you need to use the paddle shifters for automatic
they should have priced it lower than honda
So true. They are the lowest in terms of sales of all Asian brands.
for sure, if price is same... i would go with honda or something. better dealership network, and may other things, etc...
xxgg Tuscon for me in this class of ute. If I was shopping for a ute in this price range of course. I don't drive or like CVT transmissions like Honda uses with their products.
Mitsubishi always has rebates and discounts. Honda doesnt. Also this has more horsepower even in base form than a Honda HRV or Mazda Cx3. And a longer warranty. Both things add value.
I like the old ASX, this new one looks like an ugly VW
No mention of the awd system? And the three presets?
Did you watch the video?
Motormouth Canada I did. No mention. You did another video for another channel for the rvr black where you break down the button an it's three presets. I don't hear you doing that here. Perhaps you are confusing this video with that?
Great review! Thanks!
RVR? In Russia this thing is called ASX.
rcomascat thanks
rcomascat same vehicle. Problem?????
Mitsu still makes cars? Wow I never think of them when looking for or suggesting a car
will you be doing a 2017 Terrain review?
+Oceanic Flight November
thankyou
very good review but since i own a 2014 rvr 1.8 petrol i want to clears a few things out.this is not a mazda cx3nor a honda hrv competitor.its bigger than them.it should be compared to the nissan quashqai.ythis is not a city car.its just about ok in the city but its nicer on a highway run.i will go to the mitsubishi showroom in a weeks time to look at the new one.have called them and they will have a 2.2 diesel automatic demo there.the price they have quoted me is around 27,000 euros.
How many shift ratios has?
WTF 10 years warranty in Canada?!! Here in Malaysia only 5 years warranty!! Damn it !!!
ahead of the curb?
Cool
Mitsubishi should concentrate on making HVAC units and Forklifts and stop making cars. Most Mitsubishi dealers around the GTA have more inventory of other brand than they do have Mitsubishi.
Zen on headlamps....I thought cars were going led
Also ASX.....
calls "ASX Sport" Not "outlander"
Achsel Schweiß same vehicle. Shut up
Yeah that front is a very fussy design. Better front end on the last model I reckon.
You will see *_very_* few of these in the USA.
I see them all the time.
Awesome.
Actually you are incorrect. They sold 36,966 of them in the USA alone last year.
A. That's 1/10th the number of Escapes Ford sells.
B. Get a life.
godfatherNYC I see Outlander Sports everywhere too...just answering your initial post with facts and figures. No need to get snippy :)
Cx5 is its competitor, and its way better.
spoada Nope. Its the CX3. CX5 competition is the Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV.
Cx5 competes with the Eclipse Cross
I found the driver space too cramped on the cx3 and cx5. Leg rubbed against the center console. Tons of space in the rvr. They drove the same
Restyling ASX
Can't believe they are still flogging those awful infotainment systems. They've been outdated for 5 years and a nightmare to use.
I love the car but the front is just a bit ugly to say the least
The front looks great! But the car itself is not that good.
It looks plain jane vanilla to me. As much sex appeal as a potato. I'd take a Mazda over this boring shitbox any day.
OMGWTFLOL Mazda and the huge front end. Damn things look like an old boot, or a fucking platypus.
Uglified, and still does not look as good as the version Mitsu made for Citroen.
LeadHammer shut up
The front is a mess!
Agree. They need better car designers really bad.I mean how would you recognize it's a mitsubishi when you take away the emblem?
The whole grill is just a mess! The whole Mitsubishi lineup is butt anyways
+Nabil P couldnt agree more
Yet you came to watch it!
The old gen front fascia looks better. Now this look likes a mini pajero/montero sport.
CVT = No Buy
1
waw
I have a 2019 and its complete junk worst car or truck or whatever it supposed to be i fuckin hate it with a passion /im just going to beat it till it dies
Why does it have such a stupid name there?
MJ4cars97 This is not stupid name.
just had one of these as a rental, it's just complete garbage. it revs quite high in first gear and is so loud it sounds like a motorcycle. awful!
Hideous front end
Mitsubishi is a dead car brand....
Only in America. Around the rest of the world it's alive and well.
+misamisatv not really here in south east asia, mitsubishi trying really hard to sell their cars because most of people here tend to go for toyota,honda and nissan... mitsubishi has poor resale value and bad aftersales here in my country and many asian countries

how so?
Даже я тут в России понимаю, что это старый хлам, не конкурент ни tiguan, ни qashqai
Davis Cheater почему вы так думаете? Я вот хотела купить такую....
Very shitty vehicle. High price with barely any functions. The inside is all plastic. Shape is nice and that's it. Ford escape titanium is way better for the same price
