In the LS model, we have air vents for the middle row of seats & they are down in the rear end of the centre console. They seem to work well enough. We also have a full sized alloy wheel as a spare, underneath the back. All in all, we compared this to most of the other 7-seat SUVs on the market and using our kids as "guinea pigs", we found that the Outlander was actually better in the back for them than even some of the larger SUVs like the Kia Sorrento or Hyundai Santa Fe. We also opted for only the 2wd, and it's been absolutely fine. Would my family recommend it? Absolutely!!
@@Mububban23 we had a reasonably hot summer and it did just fine. The car is the same colour as the one in the video (that metallic red) with black leatherette interior and carpets so certainly isn't the "most heat reflective" colour to try to cool down, but to be honest, the car doesn't seem to struggle to keep it at a reasonable temperature. I think my wife has it set to 21C pretty much all year 'round (although I have seen on super-cold Winter days, she'll crank it up to 24C AND she'll have the seat heaters going!!!!) To be honest, it's not the most exciting car to drive (pretty much just transport) but if you want something that just works and is pretty good value for money, I think it's hard to beat the Outlander. Don't go the base model, if you're looking at one. The middle of the road LS has pretty much all you need.
@@Mububban23 just go for the LS and you'll get the extra good stuff like lane departure, adaptive cruise control, etc. It's actually cheaper to insure it because of that, which was a pleasant surprise (at least with AAMI, but not deliberately plugging them specifically.....) The options we added were to tint the two front passenger windows to more closely match the middle and rears, the roof bars, protective tray for the cargo area (even though we have the 7-seats and it doesn't split) and the towbar. I do recommend getting the proper mats, too, as if there is one thing that really does look like they cut corners, it's the very, very ordinary carpet!!! We bought them afterwards and it makes a big difference. Even with the options, we still were under our budget.
Iv got the base model 4x4 2.4 litre petrol engine it 2015 4x4 model it drives like you said bit raod traction noise but very good quality car it's very reliable especially a round town very happy with it l recommended to anyone my model is a five seat but good enough.
Obviously you dont know there are AC under the driver seat and front passenger seat to throw the cool air at the back.... honestly 3rd row seats are better than some bigger SUv's like Toyota Fortuner, Captiva, Xtrailer even there own Mitsubishi Pajero n Pajero Sport.... with 7 seats up boot space is more usuable thn Captiva....
Ali Bawazeer simple.... change the setting from MODE to Face and Feet, front windscreen and feet or just feet..... it will show these symbols at the screen....
i don't know for sure but it's most likely to be underneath the back of the car just like a ute /utility /pickup just inside the back there would be a small cap or cover of some kind that you lift up with a bolt underneath that you wind down to access the spare tire it would be in the owner's manual
i don't see any problem with the way she is dressed but i am gessing the problem is she is not wearing a bikini or a mini skirt or she is not wearing rainbow colors
Can you please put US Unit conversions on the screen when you give the specs? I can't really comprehend 7.2L/100km. I always enjoy your reviews, you seem to really try and understand the cars you're driving, and not just regurgitate the spec sheet from the manufacturer.
This isn't for the U.S. market, where the fuel consumption can be different due to different engine tuning. Go to Misubishi's website or just Google it and you'll know.
Unfortunately, inside and out, this car, even when it just came out was severely outdated. The engine is outdated, the transmission is belt-driven and prone to failure, the interior is cheap and unusable and the exterior is more bland than an Outback. Yes, it's cheap...er. However, it's not so much cheaper that it makes sense to buy it over the competition. The one thing Mitsubishi has going for it is its AWD system, which is actually better than Subaru's. Probably the best AWD system on the market right now. Unfortunately everything else is below average.
The engine is complying to euro6 regulations so how is that outdated,first diesel engine use aluminium block,over cast iron...what you meant to say it hasnt the engine out of a car pushing it along....your good aren't ya...
I call BS on your opinion of both the engine and CVT. The J series engine was a new design in 2012. The quoted outputs are not huge, but the engine and CVT combo make the power delivery seem more like a diesel engine than a petrol. Fuel economy is excellent and rarely does the engine need to be pushed above 3000 rpm. As for CVT reliability, there are several reports of ZJ CVT failures (mated to the 2.0 litre engine), but the CVT mated to ZK and ZL are not prone to failure.
@@MattyClivingthedream You can’t nullify someone else’s opinion simply by having a different opinion. “Feels like” isn’t an objective measure. Also, this is about the US version of the car, the one in the video. Do some research before opining. They come with the 2.4 I4, 3.0 V6 or 2.0 PHEV. All three are terrible in acceleration, reliability, and fuel economy compared to others in the class. Mitsu’s strong points are Diesels, which North America doesn’t have.
@@afcgeo882 You are a dumb arse. This video is from carsguide, an Australian site reviewing an Australian ES spec Outlander, not the US version that you claim. Either way, both the US and Australian specs Outlanders have the same 4J12 engines that are built to identical outputs, they even have identical engine codes. Both Aussie and US versions get the single overhead cam 2.4L 16 valve engines with infinite variable valve lift and timing on the inlet cam. Both derived off the block of the 4b Serie (Evo 10 engine), but with a lot more complicated timing valve timing system. They are extremely well regarded by mechanics and will happily do over 500,000km with only regular servicing. As for opinion, yours counts for nothing.

Hi Sean, how's the aircon go in hot Aussie summers? My old Magna aircon is gutless and can't cope when it pushes 40C.

@@sean640307 Yeah I'm not after excitement, I'm after reliable family transport that just does the job.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

That “even if they do have no air” sounded sadistic lol.

That's just the heat vents, not A/C.

Hi! If i need to change tyre in the middle of the road and outlander does not have spare tyre in the boot? what's mitsubishi's solution? Thanks!
i don't know for sure but it's most likely to be underneath the back of the car just like a ute /utility /pickup just inside the back there would be a small cap or cover of some kind that you lift up with a bolt underneath that you wind down to access the spare tire it would be in the owner's manual
Google Maps is coming to Apple CarPlay next update :) (September)
High gloss piano Black shouldn't be bragged about lol
she looks like shes wearing those airline blankets. period.
XD
Does she come with the car
Thank you Nedahl for a car review that a "non rev-head" can understand.
Nice I like them bowling pins, shorter skirt and I will subscribe for sure.
It's not $30k. I purchased my ES 4WD for $22k. Two months in - so far so good.
Jon L is it a great family car with 2 toddlers
$22k in the USA I'm guessing...
Never said you were. The base outlander is $22k in the USA or $30k in Australia (this video is from Australia... That's why she said it's $30k).
pasta1298 totally forgot to factor that it's AU. Nice review though.
@@jonlinen225 also totally forgot to edit your post.
Great review! Why are commenters talking about how you dress? Gross, please ignore them Nedahl!
i don't see any problem with the way she is dressed but i am gessing the problem is she is not wearing a bikini or a mini skirt
or she is not wearing rainbow colors
No one here is commenting on her looks except for you!
MILF 😍 LUCKY MAN
Although God looks at the heart, men look at the outward appearance........ :)-
Nice review
That dashboard or rather centre consol, looks like it is from a 1990s Yank 'truck'. Other than that, for a family this is a smart car.
Forget the car. What's the name in background music?
Make sure you put them head rest up when people are in the back back!!
Luke Hall 😂
can it pull a horse box up to 3ton
Looks like Nedahl works out well done keeping fit after having children / arms are well toned
