  • ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is small AWD crossover that competes with new cars like the Mazda CX-5. With just 8.5 inches of ground clearance the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport isn't engineered to go steep and deep into the snowy Colorado wilderness. In another accurate, fun and informative TFLcar video we get stuck yet again in the Colorado Rocky Mountains testing the newest crossover from Mitsubishi.

    lol trying a car in the snow with all season tires... those guys just hate Mitsubishi and this review is biased, they should be ashamed of doing such subjective reviews.

      It’s not biased at all...I’ve had 2 AWD outlander sports since 2013 and they’re terrible in rain and snow. They’re too light and slide all over the place, I’ve shelled out over $900 for the “best” tires that still didn’t make much of a difference. I love this car because it’s awesome on gas mileage and I drive a far distance for work, but it SUCKS in any weather condition other than dry/normal that I’ve experienced in northeast Ohio.

    I have a BASE MODEL 2013 outlander sport, with the all wheel drive option. I got stuck in the middle of a blizzard on Loveland Pass IN FREKIN COLORADO, AT ELEVATION (~11,000 FEET), in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter. Guess who made it out WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE. This guy and his OUTLANDER SPORT--ALL STOCK WITH NON SNOW TIRES. Put her in All Wheel Lock, and let the car do the rest. That night made me a believer in this affordable but rugged CUV. Also, paid 23,000 including taxes and fee's.

    Six years after release, and I'm looking at a used Outlander as my next car. Listening to these two guys laugh their way through this review, what I take away from it is how hard they had to work to actually get it stuck. From the look of things, a set of Coopers or BFGs would make this little box almost unstoppable.

    I have an Outlander Sport and it is a great vehicle! It cost me over $3000 less than comparable vehicles. It has outstanding features - heated seats, heated mirrors, smart key start, kick-ass paddle shifters, 18" alloy rims and plenty of power. Drove all the way across Illinois last January - when interstate was covered with 2 - 3 inches of ice and the four wheel drive system and traction control worked great. Drove it in 10 inches of snow last winter and yes it got stuck twice - but got out after clearing some snow away from tires - but then I only have "All Weather" tires on it. I highly recommend this vehicle - this is the best vehicle I ever owned! Really fun to drive!

    Forgot to mention I think Outlander Sport has the best HID headlight system in any car you can buy. These headlights provide a super bright 180 degree band of light - and the focus can be adjusted up- and down from inside the car. I love driving this car at night. You need to see how great these headlights are.

    I agree with Nathan...they need to build more capable small CUVs (they're all getting too big). I'm pleasantly impressed with the Outlander Sport...put proper snow tires on and it would run through that terrain just fine. I like the exterior styling...it's conservative yet sporty. And the interior is simple but tasteful. The motor is adequate for a vehicle this size and price. This vehicle is a great candidate for an EVO-type option...I think it would sell like hotcakes and bring a much needed brand resurgence...it could be the poor man's Macan.

    totalcar.hu/tesztek/2013/02/14/nagy_suv_terepteszt/
    You may translate the written test to English and watch the video afterwards. There are two attempts with each car. The first one with full auto mode and the second with all available tweaks (locking the differential, traction control off, elevated suspension etc). All cars equipped with the manufacturer suggested winter tires. Hope you find it informative.

    I once owned a small SUV that was sold under the Dodge name plate, it was the Dodge Raider. It was either an 87 or an 88 model. Mine was the short wheelbase model with one door on each side and one back door. It was a four-cylinder with a five-speed transmission. That was one of the best and most practical (for me) automobiles that I have ever owned. I bought mine used, from a very good friend. I was very young and very inexperienced at the time when I traded it off for something else. It developed a costly engine problem when it was at around the 300,000 mile mark. If I had it to do over, I would have just bought a new/remanufactured engine and I might still be driving it today. I was worked at a Japanese manufacturing plant in NC and we had quite an assortment of CNC and NC machining centers, as well as a large number of robots. I once asked one of our best maintenance men, a fellow named Walter, about a new piece of equipment that we had received, it was a Mitsubishi, and he said that "from past experience, anything with a Mitsubishi motor is trouble free as long as the oil changes are done on schedule." I really hope that Mitsubishi starts selling the Montero in this country (U.S.A.) again. And it would be really nice if they would import the short wheelbase Montero's with a Diesel engine and a manual transmission.

    In Germany those are called the Mitsubishi ASX and are quite popular. When my '04 RAV4 finally goes out (maybe a while yet I hope) I was thinking of picking up one of these used. My choice (which is not in the US) is a 1.8DiD engine 150hp 300nm torque coupled to a 6sp manual and of course 4wd. I also like the olderOutlander from 2010-2013. Of course it depends on how long my RAV4 goes, have yet to see a softroader 4wd perform like the older RAV's!

    We own a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.4L GT 4X4 and could not be happier! We purchased it on 10/31/16 brand new. It was $32,940.00 and after Rebates and Discounts it was $26,700.00. Our GT was higher than most as it had the Optional Navigation Package, LED Interior Illumination Package, Upgraded LED Fog Lights to match the HID Headlights, Cargo Package, Remote Engine Start, Park Assist Package, Chrome Package, Sport Package with Larger Rear Spoiler and Steel Fuel Door, Mud Guards, Rear Silver Bumper Under Cover and more!!!
    It drives like a true SUV (not those car feeling SUVs) and sits high (8+ inches of ground clearance) and does not feel like a wagon or hatchback (Honda HR-V) when you drive it. The ride is surprisingly good and handling is confident and we are getting around 26-27 mpg combined driving. You cant find a new SUV with all these Features, Capabilities, Safety, and Warranty for $27,000.00 loaded with everything. The Panoramic Roof is great and lights up with LED Mood Lighting at night (favorite feature). The 710 Watt Rockford Fosgate Audio System is amazing sounding.
    We also own a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT that we purchased new and now has 13,600 miles on it and we love it. I wanted a small car that was loaded big car features and options and this little Mitsu delivers! For what I wanted on a small car with every option I could get the Mirage was perfect. We got the top trim ES (2017 top trim is the GT or SE in the Mirage G4 Sedan) with CVT and the optional Navigation & Back Up Camera Package, Chrome Package, Cargo Package, Exterior Appearance Package, Color Keyed Bodyside Moldings, Front & Rear Park Assist Package, and many more Accessories (All Weather Mitsu Floor Mats, Mitsu Shift Knob, Mitsu Factory Center Console Arm Rest and more). All the other cars in the class I looked at cost alot more when loaded out and you could not get alot of the features that the Mirage offered.
    For example even the base trim had Auto Climate Control (2017 Base Has Manual Controls), AC, PW, PL, PM, AM FM CD and Ipod Hook Up. On top of all this you get the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty and 37 city and 44 highway mpg and 40 combined. I average 43 in the city and 47 on the highway but can top 50 if careful. Even when you run this car hard and up hills it's impossible to get it below 35 mpg on average (see my videos on my page). Every owner for the most part exceeds what Mitsu claims for MPG ratings which its usually the opposite (my previous 2013 Hyundai Elantra was way worse than MPG rating on Window Sticker).
    So I say if you are thinking about a Mitsubishi go for it. The new Outlander Sport is a true feeling SUV with selectable 4X4 with a button (2WD, Auto 4X4, 4X4 Lock) and loaded with features, safety and an amazing warrnaty. Plus for 2016 it had quite a few updates inside to make it more pleasing and updates to smooth the CVT which does wonders over the 2015 model. Also the 2.4L is more widely used now (this engine has great pulling power and works well with the CVT) an overall refinement has improved. Also most Mitsubishi owners love their cars as a girl I work with has a 2011 Lancer with well over 100,00 miles on it and still running strong no issues and she has owned 3 Mitsubishis before that. I know 2 other Mirage owners and same thing, no issues and we love them! You can go to KBB owner review page and see a review of a 2014 Mirage ES CVT with over 220,000 miles and no maintenance besides routine and normal wear and tear items (has pictures of odometer to prove the milage). Mitsubishi is know for making reliable engines and packing in a ton of features per dollar. Also they will be releasing a new Outlander Sport for the 2018 model year (you can see spy shots, its sharp) and a new Outlander not long behind followed by the return of the Large Montero. If you are worried about Mistu leaving the USA they are not the sales have improved over the past few years and keep rising and there are plans for new models so go for it! I am a Mistu owner for life now!

But great in the snow especially with my 4 winter tires, never got stuck yet and i go playing with it!!! Woot woot

    We have seen Subaru stuck in the snow in Lake Tahoe here but Mitsubishi S-AWC still going. Talking about CVT, the Mitsubishi CVT is twin or more better than on the Subaru. We drive in bad weather condition area daily, we know what is really worth and what not. Unfortunately Mitsubishi is going down side and properly it will retreat the Northern America just like the Suzuki. Sad.

    I got the base FWD 2.4 for my wife to commute to work. With the rebates, they are giving these away. It's perfectly fine for normal use and like all new cars, I treat them as disposable appliances. Drive them, wear them out, then get rid of them. With the money I save, I invest in the market.

    Outlander Sport is quicker 0-60 than the CR-V in their TFL tests, and it is cheaper and has a longer warranty.

  • @brunothepug8807
    @brunothepug8807 5 років тому +1

    Spec out a Honda or Toyota and see what they cost? Mitsubishi is a high value vehicle. Hard plastics and aged style dashboards for sure. Mine lasted 10 years and was still fine when I sold it. Subaru's blow head gasket like $200 hookers. Nathan gets what these vehicles are all about. Roman likes high end rides and that's OK. Really enjoy TFL for being different.

  • @brandonfriesen5389
    @brandonfriesen5389 10 років тому +12

    Why would that snow not get a Subaru stuck? I hate to say it but Mitsu's S-AWC system is more advanced than Symmetrical AWD. The only thing above S-AWC is Audi/Volkswagen Quattro/4Motion

      TMuuga Hahaha. I have studied haldex awd systems and alternatives. I have also seen demonstrations such as real world and roller tests right before my eyes. Symmetrical AWD isn't the best because Subaru claims it is. I have a friend who has a 2013 Forester and his SUV couldn't do a twist ditch situation. Meanwhile our old 2010 Outlander GT could and 2014 Tiguan could. 

    • @y2kbug77
      @y2kbug77 10 років тому

      I believe the regular Outlander has the AWD system you're referring to. The Outlander Sport has a less advanced system.

    • @brandonfriesen5389
      @brandonfriesen5389 10 років тому

    • @y2kbug77
      @y2kbug77 10 років тому +1

      This isn't an Outlander. There are only a few countries where it's called the Outlander Sport. Most places it's just known as an RVR or ASX. Not sure why Mitsubishi felt the need to associate it with the Outlander here in America.

    In the US this is the Outlander Sport. Also known as the RVR in Canada and ASX elsewhere. This is not an Outlander but an Outlander SPORT. No mistakes. Also it is available with a 2.4l engine with 175 HP and more torque. It also has a half decent 700+W Rockford Fosgate sound system like Nissan uses. Great value for the price and the best warranty in the business.

    Out of all these car based crossover suvs I'll take a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk edition anyday. Only downside is they are really expensive and Chrysler will most likely have problems with the eraly models of their pentastar engines.

    Compare the Outlander Sport to the Honda Accord Sport.
    The Honda is world class according to the mags. I have both.
    Inside the Engine and CVT sound the same in both. Yes really.
    You will never buy this Mitsu if you sit on here and listen to most reviews.
    Nathan had great points and was very fair.
    I walked out with a 2014 AWD SE with All Weather Package for just over $20K.
    Its a real bargain. I bought it for my parents ( 75 & 80 ) who need a dependable
    safe car with the room of an old Chevy Blazer they sold.
    I passed on Subaru? Why? Subaru has maintenance bills even higher then Audi and the warranty is not as good. Do the research yourself.
    The front seats in the OS. is the best of the last 7 cars I had recently. Really nice for a person with back problems. These also get the EPA mileage or better.
    For the price its a steal.

    The Outlander Sport competes with the Subaru XV CrossTrek, not the Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 competes with the Subaru Forester.

  • @Insanity_Crow
    @Insanity_Crow 10 років тому +1

    I like the way this thing looks inside and out, but it really needs a better engine. Both the Rav4 and CRV have close to 40hp more than this for around the same price. Even a base Escape makes more power than this. Then again, the Crosstrek is on par with the Mitsu and it seems to sell fine so what do I know.

    • @AWCAWD
      @AWCAWD 10 років тому

      CRV, CX-5 (2.0L), XV Crosstrek were all tested (by TFLCAR 0-60 tests). None of them (with AT) was faster than the Outlander Sport. Watch those reviews here in this channel. The HP/weight ratio counts and not the HP itself. Also, the CRV will only provide the 185HP at 7000 rpm. I doubt that the average driver ever goes up that high. In Canada with comparable packages those cost $5K more than the OS.

  • @TQDRUMMER07
    @TQDRUMMER07 10 років тому +2

    Great review! But you should have compared it to the XV Crosstrek because they're pretty much direct competitors. I own a Crosstrek and I think it would have been able to handle that snowy trail.

    Tires sucked on that CUV. My 2004/5 RAV4 5sp manual with Nokian WR SUV3 winter tires has tackled snow that deep with no problems. Of course it has the old school full time 4wd with visous auto lock. Never got stuck yet with that little light off roader.
