I have owned the V6 GT model for 2 months so here is my take on it.
The exterior styling was one of the only midsize SUV that my wife and I could both agree on liking because its subtle and elegant without looking like its trying too hard to get your attention by being too flashy or aggressive like some other models, (Mazda/Kia/Honda). Cant really complain about the exterior look because thats subjective. Some people find "plain and simple" boring and others find it clean and elegant. Can't really complain about the 3rd row either because it really should be considered just an added bonus for extra kids (your kid's friends etc,) instead of a proper viable everyday solution for big families, you just lose too much cargo space when the 3rd row is being used. Mitsu should should not market it as a "true" 7 seater. Also as far as I know most other midsize SUV don't even offer this option, you need to go to the bigger SUVs to find it, so its an asset, not something to complain about. The flexibility of the seating wasn't mentioned here really because the 3rd row is divided into 2 and you can effectively have 1 up and 1 down, meaning you can still keep someone cargo space if u seat 6 people. (my small dog owns one of the third row seats and I still have loads of room for our stroller and groceries on the side of it). You Can't really call the V6 GT model a fast car by most standards, but you can't say its sluggish either. but it does have a 0-60mph time (8.7) similar to a lot of european "hot hatches," which is not bad considering the size! its faster than the old Citroen Saxo VTR I used to have back in the UK and that was considered a "pocket rocket" back in the day. The 6 speed gear box is manual tiptronic (mentioned in the video?) so you can have some fun with it if your really wanted to. Easy to overtake on highways. GT model has Xenon head lamps (mentioned in video?) The Sat Nav system has SD card and USB inputs for media and you can also connect your phone via blue tooth to control music, calls and sync your contacts wirelessly through a fully voice controlled system. Tried and tested the ACC and will change how you drive during long highway trips. No need to constantly increase or decrease your speed to adjust for a car entering or leaving your lane, it will always maintain your preset distance to the car in front. feels weird literally letting the car do all the driving apart from the steering! (although it does keep an eye on that too with the LDW!) Tried and tested the S-AWC up here in snowy Canada and I have to say the Snow mode is outstanding even in the worst conditions. Felt safe and solid with no twitching or slipping on Snow and Ice. Makes me actually miss driving in those conditions.
Also not really mentioned is the Rockford Fosgate 710 watt 9 speaker package available. Obviously not the same as a true after market system but a massive increase in sound quality and bass than what you are used to with a standard system. Not bad for daddies like me. Very flexible equalizer also.
Another big plus for me was not feeling like just another mid size SUV on the road. Mitsu has an extremely small market share with this vehicle (less than 1 percent in NA?) which means you won't be running into someone else with the same car as you on a constant basis. I literally see hundreds of Honda CRVs, Santa Fes, Mazda CX5 and Nissan Rogues daily. Obviously this is a testament to their popularity and success and Mitsu would love to have more of their vehicles on the road, but it makes me feel a little more unique, and I like that. Would like to see this little car company make a comeback, hopefully my support (however small it is) will help contribute toward some kind of revival for NAs smallest car manufacturer.
Kamran Shayanfar 6 years later........ Get the 2019 GT
Hello can you please tell me if you have any issues with this car as yet?
I bought a used 2014 GT V6 in June and love it.
Correction.... You can fold the 2nd row flat Dave
I have an identical version. Same color. After six trouble free years I can say it is a good car. I get 27-30 mpg. the rear most seat is a child only seat but my ten year old son still chooses to set back there. The middle seat does fold flat unlike what the reviewer said. It’s not a one lever deal. You have to flip the middle seat cushion up and forward, flip a lever that is located under the seat cushion, remove headrest, then the seat back folds flat. For some reason Mitsubishi chose to have a different headrest design for the USA versus the European version. They have headrests that don’t need to be removed to fold the middle and rear seat down. Driving is smooth and quiet most of the time. I find that accelerating is adequate. If you need more put the shift lever in Ds which provides good acceleration but makes the engine loud. Now the negative things about the car. The infotainment system is slow to start. When you start the car it takes 15 seconds for it to load. By then you have already backed out of your driveway and then reverse camera grid is just popping up as you shift into drive. The rear window wiper is switched on and off via the lever on the steering column But, some stupid committee thought it was a good idea to put the intermittent time adjustment in a sub menu in the touch screen infotainment system. That means that you have to be stopped and scroll down a menu to find the settings. For example it’s raining lightly and you have it set for 16 second sweeps, then it starts pouring down rain and you want to have the wiper on all the time, you have to stop the car before you can change it. All the menu is grayed out when the car is moving. The seats, while very durable and have held up well are totally lacking of lumbar support. I have to have a cushion for the small of my back. The heated seat is nice and has two temperature settings. My car, like the one reviewed does not have a roof rack or bars. Going through a car wash with the heavy cloth strips knocked the rubber strips out of the roof . Mitsubishi charges $50+ for replacing each piece. I used windshield adhesive to put them back in. Over all I like the car and would recommend it to everyone.
Just got a 2015 Outlander SE. Awesome car for the price. 4-cylinder engine is plenty powerful and I am getting 26mpg combined. Btw the second row does fold completely flat, you have to flip up the bottom cushion first and then the seat folds totally flat. I got a great deal and it is very underrated in my opinion.
Your reviews are always awesome Dave!
I recently purchased an outlander GT and I'm very happy with it. for the money I pay around $29000 I got adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning forward collision mitigation navigation ( although no the best system I had) and a in general good looking car. Granted the style is not edgy but the driving is very comfortable and smooth. As per the lack of power is very relative, the car weight 3500 lb compared to to other vehicles like the Jeep grand Cherokee or Nissan rouge which are much heavier so the pounds per horsepower ration is similar to many vehicles in its class. As for speed, I have a 5.0 mustang that takes care of my needs. it is really stupid to think that a 7 passenger car will be faster, this class is about safety and comfort and for the money there is no really another car that compete with it.
Clearly never skip leg day lol jokes aside, you're reviews are the best, very detailed and informative
I love when grown people get in the 3rd row seat and say grown people cant fit in them... DUH! they weren't designed for you...
I have a 2011 Outlander XLS (3.0L, S-AWC) and still love it. I just passed 135,000km with nothing other than regular maintenance and a brake job so far. If you live in a climate with snowy winters, I highly recommend the Outlander. There were a few times I would have loved to have an actual locking diff, but for normal driving in the snow, you can't beat the stability of the S-AWC system. I drive 100km each way to work every day, whether it's clear or the worst kind of snow storm, and this vehicle has not left me stuck, stranded, or in the ditch once.
I with you right there!!! I have a 2010 gt, with 60k miles, I absolutely love it, just wish it had a bigger tank
Little late to the party with you guys but how’d your outlanders pan out ? Looking at one for myself
Great video Dave with lots of information. The only item missing for me was a 0-60 test or at least a mention of general 0-60 times.
As for the vehicle all of the engine choices seem to be down on power and fuel economy compared to its competition. Although, the safety features are pretty amazing on this vehicle, so good job Mitsubishi.
We currently own a 2014 Outlander SE S-AWC 2.4 with CVT. I feel the power is more than adequate. We are more than happy with our purchase.
The CVT does have one nice feature. When the gear shift is moved to Ds mode, revs are kept higher, which gives the four-cylinder engine a little more punch when accelerating and also serves to slow the vehicle with engine braking, such as when you are downshifting with a manual transmission
This is hands down the most professional car review I have seen.
Great review Dave! In your opinion, which of the two vehicles do you prefer? 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander or 2014 Subaru Forester? and why? (I selected these two vehicles because they are the only ones to have the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus in this segment and safety is my priority).
I have a 2015 se with not all but some of the options but I like it. My wife drives it more than me I have buttons to look for now I want to know if I have the cruise control option and the lane depature as well.
Mitsubishi put up a video on how to put down the 2nd row seats.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander - Second Row Seat Operation
The middle seats can be laid flat. That way you would not get that gap when folded down.
@Woodcote, generally speaking, I don't bring up 0-60 times UNLESS it's a high performance sport car. Also, the equipment/device needed to do it myself is kind of spendy. I have considered it. If I do perform 0-60 test (which I may in the future) it'll only be ONE element of my videos. I appreciate the comment - Dave
May i suggest you to make a review for The 2014 Lancer Ralliart. thank you.
The TFT screen between the gauges is higher resolution and larger. Also, the individual gauge binnacles are gone. This is the 4th redesign of the Mitsubishi Gauges since the 08 Lancer and 07 Outlander.
Hey Dave what happens when the battery of the key fob runs down how do you start a push button car?
Great review Dave, but one question - according to press materials on Mitsubishi website, the 2nd row does fold totally flat (you need to lift the bench, then fold the seat). You might want to revise your video.
Not a bad review.
You know what would be a good idea. Finding some measurable snow (1' ft+) and comparing how the AWDs of the small suvs fare in them. I have a faith that my 2014 Outlander will ace that test.
Also, you guys gave the Outlander Sport a 7/10. What's your grade for the Outlander?
I agree! But I'm speaking specifically to this vehicle, and other compact CUV's with a 3rd row seat, like the RAV4 when it had the 3rd row. It was never designed with 7 grown adults in all 3 rows in mind. It's designed for children/temporary use and children for some reason LOVE siting in the 3rd row of a CUV. Ive seen them fight each other over the 3rd row, its bananas!
middle row does lay flat
Hey Dave, what type of camera are you using???
The second row of seats does lay down flat. My GF just bought one.
how much space can you get in the back by moving the middle seat forward?
is it still cramped?
It's not a lot by just moving the middle seats forward but like I said the middle seats do lay down flat unlike what he said and then you have all the way to the front seat.
i think mitsubishi is underrated :(
I finally got to drive it. It was a smooth ride. I thought the steering was a little heavy. Even my Hummer has lighter steering but overall it's not bad. When my GF first looked at them I thought the grill was pretty ugly but she likes it.
can the second row go flat?
why my 2014 outlander has no Lane departure warning system? which model/version is this?
I don't know why everyone puts the 3rd row seat head rest inside that trunk compartment. People can put those right on the floor in front of the 3rd row seat before the lay the seats flat.
Dave do you still make vids with tfl?
when in Jamaica I rented one of these drove into a large pothole the fuel line under the rear drivers side disconnected you smelled gasoline was able to use light from cell phone to reconnect fuel line.
They make an extended Legacy Wagon with Forester height. So long as the Tribeca is sold in the US, we will never see this amazing thing called the Subaru Exiga. I invite you to have a look at it!
Dave, are you guys reviewing the 2013 Rav4 anytime soon?
starting at 34k and 21mpg but the subaru AWD system is a beast and the interior is pretty sweet but its starting to show its age i hope they refresh it or launch a new model as good as subaru is doing this year they might
I really hope Mitsubishi comes back. They made some awesome cars in their past
What's up, guys. Expressive! uncovered moon !
@09:45, are you sure that the second row can't go flat?
in the philippines you get 2.0 mivec with cvt that produce 148 hp and 195 torque and 2.2 liter turbocharged desiel with 6at that produce 148 hp and 360 torque for the at and 380 for the manual
cant wait for the x3 vid!!
I left out the part when you leave the vehicle closed all doors whether key is in or out of ignition doors lock automatically
seems like a good choice if you need to seat 7 and want good gas mileage and a GOOD awd system. most cars with awd available you get stuck if just one wheel is off the ground (chrysler). i wish subaru would make an extended forester.
Nice one. A bit more opinion, very nice. All you need to do is round off by comparing the car to the competition and perhaps say how it stacks up against the ones you like the most :)
We get a very nice Turbo Diesel In Australia. Much better than any of the petrol models! 5.8L/100KM. Not sure on the MPG buts its very good!
Mitsubishi is crazy if they think anyone would spend almost $33K for a 4 cyl/cvt combo. Crazy just way crazy. This one sure did need Superman under that hood!!
What do you drive?
Wonder I like the way the outlander looks little like the range can that be a single man SUV or get something else but don't want to spend to much
3:15 are there cameras all over your car? how do you record these videos o-o
and 3:22 did you put a camera on the road?
Something would like to add, the middle row did actually fold flate.
7 passenger SUV with a 166hp 4 cylinder and a CVT.....must get from 0-60 in a couple days, right?
just purchased one..drive like a sport car. wish had a bit more torque and hp. i have the top of the line..v6 GT
HA, I don't think he knows how the seats in the second row fold down. LOL The salesman I dealt with didn't either, BUT THE DO FOLD FLAT!
From my experience its a really easy car to drive i recommend for beginners the steering is sauceeee
It's beautiful!! And it can be had with crash mitigation system!!! Now you can text and drive..lol
there are vehicles that can sit adults comfortably in the 3rd row like a mini van, the ford flex is good, the doge journey is exceptable i could get comfertable but i'm 5foot7inches. if you are close or over 6 feet theres few vehicles that will accomidate you even in the middle row.
the font on those gauges looks so much like Hondas
Mitsubishi recommend premium fuel on the V6, just FYI
Mitsubishi also requires you to use premium fuel for the 3.0 V6 engine. Wow 22MPG Mitsubishi has said they have gotten 26 mpg combined with the AWD system and V6 23 mpg with the AWD. Mitsubishi better set up their game if they want to remain here in the US their sales numbers are way way down. Ya if those ECO buttons aren't helping with fuel economy then its time to rethink their strategy and go back to the drawing board. Like the new look need to work on MPG and V6 fuel requirement no 93 octane
He has the AWD model those always get lower MPG especially with CVT and I4
I think they swapped the shark-like front of this with something more unisex. The exterior is nothing too amazing..it looks like an Audi Q7 (or even a Cayenne), but due to its many standard features and top notch safety, I wouldn't mind driving it.
Nice sunglasses.
the instrument cluster looks like it just popped out of a modern subaru?!
@Neutral Citron, I will soon invest in new music - Dave
in person its not so bad the clear taillights bug me the most the front end is fine.
The four cylinder engine should be a bit of a concern for a 7 passenger vehicle.
this car must be so underpowered with this engine it really needs that v6!
I would like to buy an outlander ......can anyone tell me about the car and I am thinking of buying medium green color.....plz
I just bought one and so far so good I have the V-4 and its quite peppy.
CVT....errr...I wanted to ask for a Manual...but thinking again...I wouldn't get an outlander to go fast anyways...
Yo! Bravo! dependent earn 1!
Young Handsome man ,well done,excellent,are you a tennis player?So much impossing personality,clarity of expression,simply exelerating,bewitching magician you are my best friend vir
That's not how you fold down the 2nd row seats. They fold completely flat. Do your research lol.
@dreamintv, I think your comment will suffice especially since I don't have the vehicle anymore. Thank you - Dave
Looks like it belongs with the Aztek
the third row is for my german shepherd
And at what price???!!!!
For $35k I'd rather buy 2-3 y/o luxury full-size suv like MDX or RX350. It will definitely outlast the Outlander (and my neighbors won't look at me with pity) :-)
Last time was in 2010
And I'm pretty sure you can fold the second row seat flat......
Gauges look right of a new acura
looks like a more badass mazda5
@MrRussian2023, I'm guessing you don't watch their channel anymore :-) I am officially "The Everyman Driver". This is my exclusive channel for all things Cars & Trucks - Dave
I like the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport better.
CVT means Trouble down the road !
I like this suv because lots of people dont have it. But it looks like a cheap Range Rover.
Great review, terribly boring crossover.
hate the look of this one.... much prefer the older style.
talk about outdated
Gutless 4 cylinder, cheap JC Whitney taillights, laughable 3rd row legroom, the same in the 2nd row if someone is in the 3rd row, the paint color is the same as the skin color of 'Tanning Mom', the nasty plastic wood trim, a non-integrated infotainment system, V6 requires premium, ALG rating is a 3 star, the Mickey Mouse method of getting the 2nd row to fold flat, I could go on and on ...
But honda cars r better than some Mitsubishi
Shed the sunglasses
SOHC, really? thats cheap
Well it would be more expensive to produce from a cost standpoint, and DOHC engines usually need more frequent or sooner maintenance, for example dohc typically timing belt needs to be changed at 60-70
Just stop making SUV's/ CUV's!
mitsubishi used to be good. Some of there care nows are just disgusting (galant!)
Good review but dang that's an ugly car
mitsubishi is not good.....the car, the company, the owners are not good at all.
What is Mit. doing?!?!?!? This suv looks like it belongs in the years 2003-2006. It is ugly, It is plain, it is no stylish, it lacks all the nice lines and flow that Japanese cars are suppose to have. Id much prefer the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford, Honda Pilot. It is soo uglyyyyyyyy!!! Even Mazda have better looking cars now.
Wrost car ever and a I think they just copied honda
100% agreed!!! It reminds me of the old Kia Forte. Its plain, ugly and boring looking.
Something would like to add, the middle row did actually fold flate.
