      @@HighOnCars1 exactly and for me I found them to be all minor and no majors for me 🙃 maybe I am just a little less fussy. The only major complaint I heard about the outlander is the heating can break down and not heat the car and will cost thousands to fix? Not sure if I read that one right but my heating works albeit I feel it was a little weak compared to my old 2006 civic. But anyways the only kinda bigger "dislikes" I have is the sunroof can be bigger going back to the rear seats like others cars have done and the ride being harsh for an SUV but it is ok, tbh the only affordable suv i found to be more comfortable is a nissan x-trail.

    Totally agree with the senseless button layout, esp the Park button and seat heaters. Am always annoyed that the door switches are not illuminated in many cars. I am closely monitoring the BMU's battery health status as well. I am trying to communicate with my dealer, who claims to be the PHEV experts in my State, and so far have had heard nothing but crickets for the past 3 weeks. Otherwise, I enjoy the car very much and it is suiting my family's needs very well.

    I actually prefer to have the button on the door handle to open the door. Otherwise, the car needs the fob receiver to be powered at all times, and oftentimes you see failures in the module that controls it, resulting in phantom battery drain issues.

    Agree on all said and have a few additional annoyances to add myself. 1 I'd like some more storage compartments inside the cabin. The infotainment system seems all together to be a bit outdated. The remote app is horrendous in it's design, and the wifi range ridiculously short, I have to literally stand almost next to the car to get the app to connect. In winter there's some issues with ice build-up in the space between the hatch and the chassis that causes issues when you open the hatch, same thing with the charging bay, gets filled up with snow and ice in the winter, especially in the way it's designed ice often builds up in the bottom of they bay. There's also a number of other minor issues as well, but these are the ones that annoys me the most. Beside the battery issue, I have a 2019, been running it for a few months and the SOH (according to the battery management system) is down to 90% witch is plain impossible. Lithium Ion batteries just don't degrade as quickly as this so its plainly a bug that Mitsubishi for some unknown reason seems to have major issues to fix (or a lack if interest in fixing it).. But overall, after all the complaining, I really do like this car! :-)

    There are lots of small little things the remind you that Mitsubishi is still very much a value-based manufacturer which builds more cars for 2nd & 3rd world countries than developed 1st world nations. The lack of a touch-sensor on the door handles, the un-lit window switches, the cheap-feeling interior...all these little things are stuff Toyota, VW & Ford have LONG solved.
    The rest of the Outlander PHEV especially the powertrain is definitely unique, but the little details are why Mitsubishi still plays 2nd fiddle next to players like the Rav4 Hybrid, Ford Escape & VW Tiguan.

    I had this for a test drive all day today. Pretty much everything you covered in this video was what I didn't like. Also, if you have to use your phone for sat nav then I need somewhere to put it as it needs to be plugged in. The cup holder is not acceptable. I also found the centre console too low down and those buttons for the heated steering wheel are tucked out the way so.much so that they are borderline dangerous to newer drivers. I also don't understand why auto hold isn't on by default - surely makes sense to have it on and require you to turn it off? I don't understand why there is an option to drive with the petrol engine and it not charge....unless I'm not correct with my assumption that the "normal, save" option does charge the battery? If so why is there a "normal, charge" mode as well?

    • @HighOnCars1
      @HighOnCars1  5 лет назад

      I use a magnetic air vent phone holder.
      All cars require the brake hold to be activated.
      "Save" saves the EV range and uses the engine to drive the car instead.
      "Charge", uses the engine to drive the car plus charges the battery and uses more gas.
      Normal drive more uses the engine to drive and charges when possible but doesn't use additional gas.

    • @richeh79
      @richeh79 5 лет назад

      @@HighOnCars1 So why would you ever drive in "save" mode? Surely you want it to charge the battery whenever possible? I did drive it a fair bit in EV mode and was impressed with the economy, but there's too many negatives for me to switch - drive a Discovery Sport at the moment.
      RE the brake hold.....regular automatics hold the car on the throttle when on a hill....I didnt like how this one rolled back unless I put auto-hold on.

    • @HighOnCars1
      @HighOnCars1  4 года назад

      You would want to use the save mode if you're gonna be driving on the highway where the gas engine is efficient and then drive in EV when you are gonna be driving in the city and won't have access to a charger.
      Or if you want to show off your EV driving experience to someone but will lose the EV range while driving to them.
      Hill assist is different from brake hold. Some cars have both.
      In Canada HSA (Hill Start Assist) is standard in all Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs.

      Under $32K? You must not be looking at the Canadian website because the Canadian pricing is $43,498 for the base model of the PHEV.
      I mentioned the MSRP of the car because the rebates vary from province to province.

    So you complaining about stupid shot for lazy behavior. When I resd complains I though issues like the seat gets bad after heavy usage for years. The shocks has low weight limit that reduce the life of the back shocks if you use a tow hitch.

      Clearly you've never driven nice cars and can't appreciate convenience/quality.
      Also, if you don't like the video, you can move on. No one needs your negativity.

    These are things you pick up on during the test drives.

      Not really. Test drives are short and the focus is on the driving experience. These are things you notice when you actually live with the vehicle.
