Bit harsh on the Outlander, but we are all entitled to our own opinions and he shared his. I just purchased a new 22 Outlander Black Edition for my wife and we love it. So much that I got one as well, a 22 SEL. The amount of technology in these vehicles for the price point is fantastic! Very happy with our purchases.
I feel bad for you
Excellent car! 🤩
you do you pal, of course theres bias since you are an owner (im mitsubishi owner too love it) on its own its a solid car but compared to others it is very fair.
Grouping the Outlander in this segment is a bit unfair as it is larger than all of its competitors. The only thing I dislike about my 2022 Outlander is the underpowered engine. Given it’s size, it should have a more powerful engine…maybe even a V6. But despite its size, fuel economy is still amazing, so there’s still a perk to the 2.5 inline-4
I really enjoyed driving the Outlander as a rental recently too. I almost bought one it is a great car.
The outlander is basically a Nissan Rogue. It's also in this group because of the same $30K price point.
There’s no way the lemon CVT could handle the extra power of a V6
is he right about the weird soft and stiff handling?
I bought the Outlander and it's amazing. I've owned Toyota, Ford and Hyundai and I've test driven the competition. This 2022 Outlander shames them all for many reasons.
Also, it's a family vehicle. No need for V8-like power.
I think this guy is a bit harsh on the Outlander. I cross shopped it against the CX-5 and a few others mentioned in the video. The Outlander is the one I ended up going with. To me at least, the ride is nowhere near as rough as he makes it out to be and the ride was so much better than the other cars I tested. It also has amazing high beams with it’s active shadowing, which I don’t believe any of the others do. It’s my first ever brand new car and I cannot wait for my Outlander Exceed Tourer to arrive. There’s a reason these have such long wait times. Have to concede the gearbox and engine aren’t as good as it’s rivals though.
This guy has been tough on the outlander since the initial review, and his review skills are terrible. He is like a rejected super car driver. Where everything needs to accelerate like a v8
I have seen many other reviews of the outlander and they were respectable.
The outlander is not meant to be a hot hatch and that is exactly how he drives it. Seems like he has a grudge. The outlander cvt is good and quiet, there were other people that reviewed just the cvt alone in cruising and casual driving. And the cvt is excellent.
The phev outlander already came out In Japan and will be better than the fully petrol outlander.
What's more common in Aus? Leasing or buying new cars?
I'm shocked with the boot and interior space compared to wagons in Europe. Most wagons have more room but for some reason people buy Crossovers.
This is literally 1st negative review I have watched on YT on the Mitsubishi 2022 outlander. I've heard personal small gripes on it, but no one at right hated it. It was sad to watch.
To those saying "all other reviews have said the Outlander is fine"... Perhaps this is the first person/team to actually review the Outlander honestly? Food for thought. *shrug*
@@enjoiadrian i would definitely welcome an honest review, and i recognise that no car is perfect as much as i think the Outlander is. I think peoples problem lays with the fact that this guy just straight up disregarded it while also doing a 360 on his review of the Sportage. He went into great detail with the rest of the cars and I expected the same with the Outlander. Instead we got a 5 minute whinge session.
This guy just criticized the Outlander a lot, we own a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and we are very happy with it 😁😊 ♦️ ♦️ ♦️
Great choice 👌 👍 👏
I love this car too
Outlander definitely not as bad as he reckons, it’s a great car with lots of cool features. I just purchased one and I love it
same here we’re in love with the new Mitsubishi Outlander 🥰
I know right . I have a done a test drive and loved it . The review in this video is in far contrast to the individual outlander review which is weird
what engine did u get on outlander? 2.5cc?
Definitely love the Outlander and it drives great! From the beginning you could tell which car he was going to pick. Subaru must have padded his pocket! Definitely need someone next time to be more fair with all the brands. Absolutely will never watch another comparison from him!
Look like ,he get paid to ruin Mitsubishi's reputation,
it was ridiculous and funny as I have a
Mitsubishi and I really enjoy it since I bought and I haven’t feel any of boolshit reviews that he threw out, yes I agree acceleration a little bit slow but you can change today gravel mode and enjoy this 40 feel and fast acceleration the driving it’s phenomenal and price wise it’s really affordable and Fair compere to the other competitors, he even didn’t mention about different drive Mode s and lots of other option which you can not find in the order cause seven seat with this price,
Got my 2022 Outlander in May of 2021, loved it since day 1.
I have a Subaru and now renting an Outlander. The Mitsubishi feels bigger, more comfortable, and just all around a better vehicle.
Great review. However, when I test drive the Forrester, I found it to be struggling up hills. Really notice the absence of a turbo, in my opinion. I ended up buying the Tucson and the jerkyness is definitely a thing albeit pretty subtle.
I kinda don’t believe the Outlander is that sh t, bad in almost every category isn’t gonna be justified with subjective adjectives like “feels bad” or “not good”.
This guy has something against Mitsubishi! I watched the video and then went in person to check the car out and it definitely doesn’t rattle and it drives very smoothly. I ended up getting the outlander vs all the others
Congratulations!
I found the mitsibishi gutless
I have. A 2022 outlander and everything this guy is saying if a Bullshit I got Enough room for me and two car seats on the back and I’m the same highest like him this people are full of bullshit
Outlander isn't the fastest car on the road but good towing ability. Power is sufficient. Better than a Yaris. But the phev version is a huge improvement in performance. A lot more lively. But back seats can't fold down flat like the previous model probably due to bigger batteries.
We liked the Outlander so much that we bought two.
I agree about Subaru being the easiest to drive. I've gone for the Outback over the Forester as it still has the best vision out of any SUV's that I have driven, it’s head/leg room is top class.
The Outback has more modern tech compared to the Forester, it’s also longer which gives more boot space, and most of all, it has slightly bigger seats which give me more comfort for the long trips I do.
But yeah, anyone looking for a mid sized SUV I'd recommend looking at the Subaru's for sure.
You made a good choice with the outback. I'm shocked with the boot and interior space compared to wagons in Europe. Most wagons have more room but for some reason people buy Crossovers.
New Outback is a good choice, smart. Although the 'Sport' model losing the built-in roof racks is a bit stupid, despite paying more than the base model which does get them.
And clearly you didn't listen to the bollocks about the CVT.
@@ScottMurrayBestFamilyCars CVT shifts like an 8-speed ZF, very nice and direct feeling.

@@sparklander Sorry, you lost me there. What are you talking about, and who are you replying to? If you were replying to my comment, I was talking about the difference between the Forester and Outback.
I own an Outlander and this guy is a crybaby about this car. The seats in mine are great and comfy on long trips. The steering on mine is spot on. I have NO rattles in mine. The suspension on mine is smooth confident when going around bends at any speed. Who is paying this dude? I tried the Hyundai. Not impressed at all. Plastic.
You will be a cry baby when you have a flat tire in a country area with no phone reception when you find out it has No SPARE TIRE
@@peeweehart5723 The Australian model has a spare wheel.
Thanks for the update, that was not always the case in earlier models. Some new models have finally realized what owners want in their car. Some models still list Space saver. This is an improvement. Only last year I asked about this vehicle from the dealer & was told "no spare wheel just a pump up kit" That's why I rejected this brand of vehicle.
The Outlander's back seat could slide back further. He had it all the way forward.
also they recline to aid tall headroom, mitsubishi thought of everything, he did not, he is overly subjective perhaps?.
The Outlander 👌🏼👌🏼 and Kia 👌🏼even Tucson 👌🏼are no brainers lol 👍🏼
It is obvious that his target is to criticize the Outlander the maximum as he could. For sure he will try to hide the additional features that you described (back seat sliding, reclining...)
He stepped into the outlander with a hidden motive. Perhaps he's been paid to give it a bad rap. You could almost figure out which brands has paid him off lol. I mean come on, the outlander these days are getting some of the amazing reviews from all sorts of reviewers
@@rliy001 Subaru paid too much to have this 10 star’s review 😂😂😂 lol
I prefer the Outlander.
I already have Outlander 2016
And I hope I can get the Outlander 2023
Excellent review, CarGuide! Thank you very much! Liked and subscribed.
This video was very helpful to me it really gave me a sense of the cars i did not get from watching other videos. helps my decision making in the future.
Mitsubishi Outlander:
An impressive 86% "quality " and "reliability" rate by "JD POWER"
An impressive 47% "resale value" after 5 years of ownership by "CAR EDGE
Amazing power train warranty of 10 years
One of the safest cars on the market, with 11 airbags
The outlander's seat was slide forward a lot when comparing the leg room. He is being very subjective here so it's not fair
Great review - really handy for the research i'm doing atm on all these cars (except the Mitsi) for our next car now we have a baby.. cheers Rich.
Being an old man in the UK, I've had the 2wd Sportage GT Line-S 1.6 petrol self-charging hybrid since March '22.
It has a "normal" auto box and doesn't suffer the issues of dual clutch systems. I guess it's not an option in Australia which seems a shame.
Driving mostly around town, we get 5.1 l/100km (46mpg) and the Mrs is pretty heavy footed.
It also claims 0-100kph in 7.7 and I do enjoy the driving experience.
Compared to the previous version Sportage it drives like a dream. It is built in Europe for European roads, so again, perhaps it differs significantly to the Aussie version.
Thanks for the great review. I just ordered a Forester so was really happy to hear your great comments about it. I know it's not the best looking but was awesome to drive and very comfortable. Can't wait for it to arrive.

enjoyed your review from down under. Have a 2017 forester and really like it, looking at a 2023.
I agree that the forester is is one of the best, but the outlander was treated harshly. The ride is quite smooth actually and it does feel big but not in a bad way, the inside is quite roomy but not overly massive. The engine was I’d say probably enough for it and just barely what it needed maybe a little more but overall it’s nice. I feel that a little bias was involved and maybe some subjectivity as I didn’t feel that it was all to fair.
There is No headroom in the Outlander. It;'s sporty looksmean a really low roof line.
I test drove a forester, outlander, rav4 hybrid and crv last weekend. The forester was easily the best to drive followed by the rav4. Outlander felt the worst to me especially the brakes. That was my experience anyway.
the outlander has the most headroom. i know this because i sat in all of them @@darrennorth7987
This is the first review of suvs I have come across that shows how a rear facing baby seat fits! Thank you!
I have a 22 Tucson hybrid and I love it! The 23 Sportage is not out in Canada yet, I just love the design of it.
i dont like how the Outlander drives ... oh wait a speed bump .. oh wait another speed bump ... i dont like how it drives , oh wait another speed bump ... LOL
Enjoyed the entertaining review. Based on this I’d go for the Subie as well. Curious to know how Subie would go against the Tiguan or Karoq/ Kodiaq which often win comparisons.
Just got the Mitsubishi SEL Touring. Holy crap the extras were well worth the extra money! Can you say heads up display that shows all sorts of information to include speed, posted speed limits and even GPS directions!
The Mitsubishi Outlander has been completely updated, it is improved from the 4 cars that you have on that list, only the Subaru and the Mitsubishi would buy 🎉🎉🥳🥳
Thanks, you really got a perfect range of car here and it was a real show👍
Richard, Great Review and always enjoyed your honest feedback! Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best for more reviews.
Tucson for me. Would have been great to get a Hybrid option on the Tucson like other countries.
😂😂😂
Great review... didn't you find the Forester cabin a bit noisy though?
After a lot of test drives I chose the oulander, review for me was a bit hars on the oulander, if subaru was not so boring and dated I might have had a second look at it, we don't have kids so not everyone is after a family proof suv, long waiting list on the oulander - built in Japan I might add, Getting my outlander in April,
Very fun and great review brotha!!
Researched this car segment for the last 2 months, my findings, - 5th gen forester rated #1 in safety and readability over all others including RAV, trial hawk, honda and bronco. That said, it has been a long road for Subaru from the CVT , oil consumption, head gasket issues of past generation vehicles. At 6'3, CR just announced the Forester is #1 with tall drivers as well, no surprise as the "green house" visibility is very attractive. All the safety dings can be disabled permanently, with the exception of engine on/off at stop. After market solution will solve that as well. So, I will be picking up my Subaru Forester Wilderness (gas, hybrid incremental benefits don't match cost) / pearl white next week. Comfortable driving on and off road, safety and readability, looks, honest service advisors that I have visited with during this time, all have pushed me this direction. And finally driving my daughters 2017 Forester premium, sold me on being a Subie owner. Suggested maintenance to ensure long life; 30k diff (F/R) service, 40k CVT Transmission service, and oil changes every 4k.
Compared to the Outback, Off road analysis/videos show the turbo in the Outback gets totally in the way of performance when climbing, as the Forester's new gearing and software changes bring much more to the equation over the turbo, in my opinion. ua-cam.com/video/ZF_JtgJ7aKQ/v-deo.html
No rock climbing, but adventuring, all day long...
HAPPY TRAILS
Another dependable and informative review, you are one of the best and entertaining reviewer in the world 👍👍👍 ok, nice will get the Suby especially it is cheaper than others!
Great review
Great review thanks 😊👏👏👏❤️🙋♀️
Awesome video. Love your humor. Tx
Thoroughly enjoyed this review!
Agreed on the Forester. Insane value as is, especially compared to everything else on the market currently. If I had extra coin to spare, however, I’d definitely go for a Diesel Sportage, maybe in GT-Line trim for all the bells and whistles.
Why subaru engines fail
ua-cam.com/video/bJSYDBjkJNQ/v-deo.html
Been having Sportage for couple of years love it. Never had issue. The only brand offered 7year warranty at the time I purchased and it's going to expire soon. I whould buy again. Or 10 year warranty outlander. After owning Ford for few years i'v learned warranty is very important ( to many issues with ford before)
I drove all of theses vehicles plus a few more. Price was not that much of an issue, however, I found the Forester was the best drive and value for money, so I bought one in Premium trim. Absolutely love it.
You made the right choice. We've bought one, too.
@@lg0602 Congratulations brother, I’m certain you will be happy with your choice. I love the way it drives and handles.👍
Feeling better now that we chose a 22 premium! The ride was the best of the cars we test drove and can’t beat the value. Ours should be arriving this month
For me outlander is the best among the four..this guy is biased towards the Outlander and has some personal grudge against it..he is a biased reviewer and don’t believe anything he says..drive of the Outlander is super comfy and amazing..
I find none of these cars attractive but to me the Outlander is the hands down ugliest both inside and outside. I'd be embarrassed to be seen in one.
@@worrywart1311 i understand those sentiments lolz
You must not know quality. Outlander is garbage. But to each their own
@@josephreyes7610 But at least externally, look at the huge quantity, lol.
He is comparing 4 cars against each other...it's factual, car chasers also highlighted the ride issues in the Mitsubishi....buy the one you like the best 😁
Richard, never mentioned the Subarus height advantage over the others.
Also it is a proper full time AWD, with a good selection of which is better for moderate off road driving.
The others are part time AWD, the AWD cuts out at over 60-70 Kms for the Sportage and Tucson on freeway driving.
Yes as noisy as the Outlander however Subaru has got the CVT down to a pat.
I own a 5 YO Hyundai diesel Tucson,
My next SUV will def be a Subie out back or forrester, prob Outback as recently released 90% redesigned, Celt for the engine power of which I believe a turbo is in the wings.
I really liked your review.
Especially the 4 screens mode at the start was very helpful to see with one you like more, front back and interior!!! I ha e to aggree with you about the forester, now let's compare forester with another 3 suv so I will make my final decision LOL,
Thanks
I’m still so confused and need help.
I am currently tossing up between the Hyundai and the Kia but I am going to need to have 3 child car seats in the back seat. I want/need to know which one of the two cars has the widest/longest back seat. Which one will offer the most amount of space. I love the leg room in both but I need to know which offers the widest seat.
Which one has the best power output . I might have a full car and a boat at times and need to make sure the car doesn’t struggle.
Please help.
Outlander is way better than any of these no matter what you say... Not to mention.... The best looking one!
The Phev is in a different playing field than the petrol. Performce, long term reliable and fuel saving is much better.
I just hope the suspension on the new PHEV is gonna be better than my current one, its definitely harsh over bumps but still better on long trips than my outback. Subaru has noisy suspension.
The Forester is a perfect example of a substance over style car, while the rest of the pack is the exact opposite ( especially the Outlander).
I agree with the verdict that the Forester is the best overall practical car of the 4.
Super show and nice review. Thank you
Great review.
i drive the Outlander and i disagree that it doesn't drive well, i enjoy everything about it, and you can't beat the 10 year / 160,000km warranty it comes with
Think you summed it up fairly ... congratulations.
Great review mate. Others should learn from u and take it easy
I have a 2019 Subaru Forester Sport. Even though that's a few years old now, I still know you got it right. I'm definitely going to keep my wallet ready for this mid-cycle refresh once availability and pricing go back to normal. An oddball line-up, but still a great comparison video!

Hi All, The Video was very well put together and loved it. It was very nice to see RAV4 Hybrid won. I got 2021 Cruiser Hybrid and I can say it deserve to be No. 1 best SUV to drive.
Can you review the RAV 4 vs Nissan Rogue, CRV erc. Enjoyed this review a lot.
Great video, entertaining and informative. Nice work team and a great comparative.
Your 28 minutes video is very well put together, thank you. I tend to lean toward the Sportage for its longer warranty but you found the Forester nicer to drive???
Wow, that is a surprise. And pretty convincing. Although? not sure I agree! Especially on the Outlander.
Thanks so much for the review. I was already leaning towards purchasing a Forrester and your review was very informative. Good to know im making the right choice 👍
Thank you for the rear facing review! you wouldnt believe how hard it is to find that comparison considering most are "Family Car" reviews. From that and the space alone inside, its the forester for me.
Edit: Love that forester won. Comfort and utility are #1 in a compact suv, excited to order my own!
I have mine from few days (My22 - Sport) and it's fantastic
Agreed, I bought a forester 2 months ago and love it, have a 1 year old and there is some much room! Perfect family car.
Subaru Forester has kept the same main features since its inception. I had a 2006 Forester and loved it so much. It was light, had the best visibility of any vehicle, has one of the best all-wheel-drive systems, has the highest ground clearance of any SUV and is super easy to drive. I taught both my teenagers how to drive in my Forester and that convinced me of how great they are. I finally sold it when it got to 200,000 km, they are pricey when new, but second hand they are a bargain and a really reliable car.
And the base model is an absolute steal in this market.
Could go light off road with it. Very practical for people who live in unsealed roads
I’ll be honest, I was genuinely surprised the forester won this comparison! Despite owning a 2021 forester (pre facelift) and loving it, I thought it would be outclassed by the other three cars here! Having owned one for almost 12 months, I can say the space, visibility and ride comfort are excellent, with respectable fuel economy! As mentioned in the review, the infotainment system and driver display are a bit outdated, but they do the job!
Not outdated, just simple and easy to use, as it should be.
@@ekimandersom4478 agree. We tried the giant screen of the Outback & it was a firm no. Tactile buttons are the way to go when driving 👌
it's just his opinion lol
@@ekimandersom4478 Physical controls and analog gauges should come back as the new premium! Spend too much time on tablets already, want to limit that to only where it makes sense in a car.
Is the KIA and Hyundai 1.6T more 'peppy' than the diesel which has the same KW and double the torque?
for future reference… is it possible to use not only CW but also HP?
Great vid guys, but if you are showing shots and rapidly cutting between cars please add a title to indicate what car I am looking at. Cheers, keep up the great writing and material. :)
Price, practicality, ride, features and running cost the Outlander is the winner for me. I've got my PHEV 2023 2 weeks ago in Sydney and I loving it. It is a very good upgrade from my old toyota Kluger.
Thanks for the review, i bought subaru forester 3 weeks ago, and happy to ride my subaru forester
The comment about the best warranty was a bit misleading. 10 years with the Outlander as long as you service it at Mitsubishi but at $199 capped a year (apart from 5th and 10th year) why would you service it elsewhere? For me, the Forester is just too damn boring looking. That and Subaru drivers are the slowest and most irritating on the road...
In the USA it’s 10 years or 100,000 miles. It’s illegal for them to require maintenance at a dealer to maintain the warranty.
My outlander feels good
Thanks for the review. We were tossing up between replacing our current Forester 2.5i-S with either another Subi or a Tuscon. RAV4 is a 12 month wait and it’s not the bees knees in hybrid form. Your review confirmed our thoughts…. So I ordered another Forester 2.5i-S today. Everything you said about the Subi is on the money. Compliant drive, easy handling, quiet, efficient, safety tech is spot on and whilst it’s not the prettiest car on the road, it’s roomy. Suits us for what we want in a second car that’s mostly used as a mums taxi!!!
Forester also has a huge boot, especially in width between the wheelarches - helped by not having big gangster 20-inch wheels and sticking to more conservative 18s. Good move, brilliant car.
He didn't give much attention to the outlander..it was the best choice
Richard, I have finally put my finger on why I like your reviews. It is obvious that you love your job. You have such delight as you share your experience of the vehicles. Thank you and keep up the great work.
My 2022 Subaru Forester Cascade Green (Dark Green) comes in next week! Can't wait to drive it!
how long did you wait mate?
I love the analog gages and yes you got it right
Mitsubishi look a lot better then Subaru design that right I got a 2022 outlander
After all mid SUV including sportage , tucson and forester test drive finally I chose outlander it’s really worth for money.
Can't believe how thirsty the outlander is. I was getting those figures in our 03 Pajero towing my camping trailer in windy conditions.
How are the Hyundai engines? I almost bought a Tuscon but went with a Subaru Outback instead. I'm hearing the Theta III engines have issues like their past SUVs have.
Awasome review!
This guys sounds almost like he got paid to give Outlander a bad review. I drove the new Outlander and loved it. Didn’t feel anything like what’s been said in the video.
i would love my forester more after this video, excelent choise
I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't find the Outlander seats to be comfortable in this trim. I just couldn't find a sweet spot when adjusting the seat. Oddly, the suede looking ones were more comfortable. Even more odd, I found that the dark color leather seats are more comfortable than the white leather seats in the Outlander. That may just be me because I can't explain how just the change in color could result in a more comfortable seat.
I had just unsubscribed from this channel only to subscribe again because this video entertained me so much. I particularly like the four-way comparisons when all four vehicles are on-screen together and the differences are easy to see.
Excellent review Richard. My impressions of driving the Outlander was the same as yours - big, restricted visibilty, like driving a truck. My impressions of driving the Forester also were very similar to yours - spacious, excellent visibility and handling. Unsurprisingly, we've ordered a new Forester.

outlander is garbage
@@krullmanz1 Really? Among the top 6 most reliable cars according to "Repairpal", 86% quality and reliability rate by"JD POWER". Etc... and you call that garbage?!! Get a life!
I've really enjoyed my 2018 Forrester, but someone turned left in front of my last month. Didn't even have a chance to touch the brakes. Spun him around and took out a fire hydrant before landing in a waterfall. The airbags were absolutely amazing. If it wasn't for the shock, panic and adrenaline, it would have actually been a fun experience. "Totally" soft and smooth landing. Left hand hit steering column and hurt for a while and small abrasion on left shin, and that is all. Going to my Subaru dealer soon, might check out Kia to keep my brother-in-law happy.
I liké mitsubishi Outlander
I'd have the new Kia Sportage anyday , I already have a 2019 Kia Sportage 1.6 naturally aspirated petrol in 6 speed manual, would definitely upgrade to this new Sportage in Scotland , lovely car, love Kia's and Hyundai looks nice too 🏴👌👍
Fully agree Kia has a new style inside-out it comes fully loaded with features inside that anyone is happy when they have-them all-year around heated +cool seats front & back, head-up display, infotainment for the moment yeah subjectively it looks the best but i don't know how to describe them are not rough & tough robust like Subaru but is so good put together inside for materials used fit & finish it's not top notch but really it is very good quality for every buck spent on them + the biggest warranty of 7 years as a cherry on top.. to me each from Sportage, Sorento or Telluride any of them are really good no brainer really hard to beat but each customer choose based on what they need, they budgets and preferences..
The Kia is like a breath of fresh air,
the exact opposite to this video review.
Couldn't agree more. It is pretty much exactly the same as the Tucson, looks better and I feel its a bit more refined with the materials used in the interior cabin. Sportage's drive is a bit more firm than the Tucson but I personally prefer it to bouncy soft ride, you feel more planted on the road. 1.6 manual in a GT Line is really reasonably priced for the level of equipment and refinement. Sportage also has painted exterior trim work if you go for a GT line, none of this plastic which makes the car look cheap.
@@highgrade199 what exactly is painted exterior? Not being difficult just not sure what part you refer to? I have GT Diesel on order
@@MrrrrMime If you have ordered the GT Line you will get painted exterior trim work. None GT lines have plastic trim work around the arches, lower sections of the car and the rear bumper is partially black plastic. GT Lines are painted gloss black. You will love the car!
Of you add the Toyota Rav4 where would you rank this one between these cars?
Very well done, covered massive amount of info while keeping it pithy, you should teach a class on information conveyance . Cheers Allan
Awesome testing the child seats! Thats actually what I was missing the most in other reviews and the only thing that makes me consider the Forester as its the least appealing option.
I am surprised you placed the Hyundai above the kia as I watched 5-6 comparison and they always placed the Sportage before the Tuscon..
The Outlander has a ten year warranty if serviced at a Mitsubishi dealer. What else did he get wrong about the Mitsi I wonder.
You dont need to service at the dealer to retain warranty
@@djkenny1202 but then you only get 5 years (can you blame them for doing that)
@@Retromansite Its still same 10 year 100k. You can either simply keep receipts from shops, or even your own DIY work (plugs, oil change, etc). It’s illegal to make someone go to the dealer for service.
Some things I would never get done at the dealer. They charge 2-4 times more often than a reputable shop. Now, I would go for warranty claims, but not really Service.
@@djkenny1202 Mitsubishi’s Standard New Car Warranty is 5 year/100,000 km. You may also be eligible for an Extended New Car Warranty up to 10 year/200,000 km if you’ve had all scheduled services done through the authorised Mitsubishi Motors Dealer Network.(but you're under no compulsion to do that and therefore it's not illegal!)
Factor in the first 5 services are only $199AUD each. Next 5 average $440AUD and gets you to year 10 or 150,000 km.
If I was a car manufacturer offering a 10 year warranty I'd want to ensure I did the servicing too - not some random mechanic.
IMHO that's a better deal than KIA are offering and why I've ordered an Outlander. Each to their own opinion though.
@@Retromansite if an oil change is more than $60,I will definitely not go to the dealer. In the USA we passed a law allowing owners to service their own cars with receipts or going to any reputable mechanic. With all cars. It IS compulsory if you need to go pay their higher prices for the same thing. These services are hardly Rocket Science.
Mitsu Outlander 🎉🥳🥳🥳 the best 😍😍😍
The 23 Forester has a slightly better look. But whether 22 or 23, the only for sure I would ever buy would be a white Forester sport. I just can't get past the looks of the regular Forester models, so at least the sport trim can be optioned up and those orange accents make the perfect car a pretty decent looking one too!
Clearly Richard Berry hates Mitsubishi. All of the other reviews online of the Outlander have been very favourable. I just driven a CX5, Forester and Outlander. The Outlander feels the most premium and I think you need to get tape measure, because the interior is length is 10cm longer than the Forester and 14cm longer than the CX5.
Very true
I think the only weak point for Forester is its dated infortaiment system. But I really want to know if the verdict remains same if you pick the diesel engine for Tucson and Sportage.
My 2018 Forester 6MT's best selling point to me is the analog controls. The display, I agree, is crap, both in function and response, so I set the bright ess to the lowest it can be, and since I live in 2023, my cellphone on a holder becomes my display, which makes the most sense to me. Why rely on dated factory setups when my phone gets updated both software and hardware wise every few years.
Gets my vote for best review in 2021. Honest words & feelings about each. I'd buy a Subaru hands down if it was not for the CVT. Richard, please do the same type of review RE: Large SUV

I’ve had the outlander now for three months and it’s one of the best cars I have driven the only set back is the engine power however I’m in no hurry I’m retired and it’s perfect for me
