The warranty on the Outlander is a huge reason to get it over the Rogue. Surprised it wasn't posted in your bullet points for the comparison. Its what would have me going with the Outlander over the Rogue.
Warranty doesn't mean much when the service sucks and there are so few dealerships so you can't just go to the next one a few miles away. You are pretty much stuck with that 1 dealership unless you want to travel 100+ Miles.
I really liked the Outlander on a test drive, the issue I had was, we only have one dealership in Vegas and they have marked them up by $6k....Yeah almost a 20% mark up. For a brand that is in zombie mode right now that is really pretty stupid.
It’s not Mitsubishi marking it up, it’s s the dealer owner. It’s becoming way too common in the industry. I will not buy any vehicle with a dealer markup/addendum.
I always kinda root for Mitsubishi, I used to have a Dodge Colt and serviced computers at Mitsubishi dealers. I think I would rather have the spare tire than the 3rd row, so it would be hard to choose between the Rouge and Outlander. I think overall the Mitsubishi looks better and you won't see yourself coming and going like in a Rouge.
Other than the lack of acceleration and CVT, it’s the best looking vehicle in its class…looks a bit like a Land Rover. Lots of features and handsome interior.
I’ll never forget that the Mitsubishi dealership back home was so desperate to sell cars that they sold our family friends 2 Outlanders for the price of 1.
@@joshuamccormick5497 It might’ve honestly been cheaper than BOGO. I believe my dad said it cost them like $28k or something absolutely insane, both fully loaded.
Two things they lost from the last gen I will miss is my 2018 has a spare under the bottom and the older model had a GT 6 cylinder model which gave that underpowered line the power it really needed. Wish they would’ve kept those options
I just bought an SEL SAWC 3 weeks ago. It is a great car. While I would have loved another 30-40HP it actually does quite well in normal driving depending on how you drive. If you use 1/4 to 1/2 throttle it actually feels quite peppy and has no problem getting up to speed. It only feels a bit lacking in full throttle. So if you are a floor masher with the accelerator then this is probably not the car for you.
I think that’s due to where the torque comes in many people are still used to cars of yesteryear where you have to go through the rev range to get all of the satisfaction from the engine and power. For example my 2008 accord coupe 4cyl has max hp all the way at red line at 7k rpm and max torque around 4500 rpm so I have to rev it to get that “powerful” feeling .. and in my 2018 Alfa Stelvio I just have to press it about 10 percent and get only to like 2k rpm to feel power . Once people understand the engineering and the concept of the newer designs I think they’ll appreciate them more. I work at Budget and Avis and I get to drive many different cars. One car in particular that really stood out to me was the Mitsu Eclipse Cross the power of that small 1.5t engine is commendable ! I actually was going to get that before I got my Stelvio and I’m being totally honest when I say that if I could trade I would ditch the Stelvio! That’s how good the eclipse is . Only gripe is the engine can be quite loud in the cross but I’ll crank up the toons and drift in the snow ❄️ 😀😀 in a perfect world 😅
@@aayonce4 So funny that you mention the Eclipse Cross and the Stelvio. I almost bought a Stelivo back in early 2019 but ended up with an Eclipse Cross, which is what I traded in for my Outlander. The EC was a great car I had a 2018 SEL SAWC and really did like it. Not a ton of HP but yes the torque along with the torque curve was spot on. Only traded it in because I needed something a bit bigger, loved the look of the new Outlander and absolutely fell in love with the "Black Diamond" color paint. Plus due to the chip shortage I was absolutely shocked with what they gave me for trade on the EC...600 less than I paid for it 3 years ago. Granted it was a leftover so I got a great deal when I bought it as the 2019's were out.....but literally drove it for almost 3 years and 27k miles for 600 depreciation on what I paid. I loved the Stelvio but was leary since it was its 1st year and Alpha does not have the best repair record...and of course it was double the cost. Plus Mitsubishi gave me 4k more than Alpha would on my trade, which was a 2013 Cadillac CTS4, even back then. So has the Stelvio been a good car? Still drool a bit when I see one :)
@@Dan-il6pl the Stelvio is a love hate relationship. Love it for the power, handling, and exclusivity but I’m not sure they out weigh the cons . Cons being; Requiring premium gas, price of oil change, usability/functionality.. It’s a hard car to drive smooth being as though it has the drive by wire throttle, and in top of that the electronic brakes they just make the car feel jerky and uneasy at times. Once you get acclimated to the quirks and how the car was intended to be used you start to feel the essence of the car shine through. But STILL even with the smooth effortless power I still would grab an Eclipse Cross as it’s just as uniquely styled I’m getting older so raw power doesn’t mean much to me ( I’m 25 ) and back seat space and lack of recline feature in the rear makes me wish I shopped a bit more before making the decision. But I plan on trading it in in the next year so I’m fine with it now but I definitely can’t say I’ll keep it til the loan is up.
The lack of second row headroom is due to this being a 2 row vehicle that has a 3rd row crammed into. That head space thats effectively between the second and third row is designed for the second row passengers of a 2 row rouge. Why can't they make an option to get rid of imitation shifts? It honestly makes me wish there was an aftermarket option to reprogram these to just drive like a cvt should
@@craiggoldstein2461 they don't hate it, they think somethings wrong with the car since it doesn't make the usual sounds. They don't know why it makes the sounds it does, just that it makes those sounds. It's dumb af but people really are that stupid. Their solution was the fake shifts under heavy throttle but still behave like a cvt when under like 3000rpm
IDK. The 3rd row is so small as to be almost pointless. And then you have more weight and less cargo space 100% of the time. Otherwise not a bad rehash or the rogue and will be more appealing if it gets the new 3 cylinder going in the rogue
I am not sure if Alex carries a beef against the CRV. Conspicuously it was missing from the overall length chart and he failed to speak about it as one of the competitors. I understand it is a bit dated, however it is still the second best selling compact SUV after RAV4.
It will be interesting to see if the Outlander gets the new 1.5T VC engine like the Rogue is getting for 2022. The extra torque and horsepower would definitely make it more sporty.
What I find crazy is that a base Mitsubishi Outlander is only a couple grand more than a mid trim Corolla/Civic and yet offers tons more cargo and passenger space. Considering that Mitsubishi comes with a 10 year warranty, I'll buy the Outlander instead of the Corolla!
I really wish those headlight washers would make their way to the Rogue. Loved having them on my Saab but I don't need the third row and want the new 1.5T in the Rogue.
Alex great review as always, but one big thing your really should mention, out of the Japanese brands Mitsubishi has the best warranty. 10 years / 100,000 miles, plus it is made in Japan. I know the Koreans Kia and Hyundai also over 10 year/ 100,000 mile warranty, but The Mitsubishi gives so much for the price and seems so well put together.
My wife just handed in her lease & I'm next. We're looking for a 3rd row SUV, but they're so expensive & the tech I want just adds more to the price tag. You give a lot of info here, which I really appreciate. The 3rd row is a bit tight, but like you said it's for emergencies & short drives. A lot to think about, but I definitely have my wife interested in checking this out 👍🏽
Please do. JD Power gives Mitsubishi outlander an impressive 86% quality and reliability rate. Also Car Edge says that outlanders keep 47% of their value after 5 years of ownership. Buy it 👍👌
Mitsubishi basing all their future models on Nissans would probably make a lot of sense, a lot less expensive to develop and at the same time getting the tech Nissan has developed.
Hi, what do you do if you have a completely flat tire? The inflator kit will not be able to fix the tire....????? No spare tire! Your suggestion as to what to do? Your video is excellent.
In Australia the Exceed Tourer which is the top of the line model comes with a blacked out roof a space saver spare tire and massaging seats in a freaking Mitsubishi
I think this the first time I saw Alex do a review on a Mitsubishi 😂 also I rarely see anyone drive it but back in the 90s I owned a 1994 Montero it last me about 10 years but they discontinued it for good 😌 Mitsubishi is not a popular car or SUV in USA but other countries they really like it , Why why why Americans people????
I'm on my 3rd Mitsubishi, this time a PHEV, had it almost a year and have only ever seen 1 other one out on the roads. The lack of dealerships is a major problem and why I tend to get rid of my cars before the warranty is up.
I grew up o. A oil refinery. My dad had company cars drove around all the time, a Toyota FJ Cruiser, a Mitsubishi Pajero, and a VW Squareback. Mitsubishi was really good back in 1970s. They were equivalent to Toyota then. I miss those Mitsubishi.
Alex, No sooner have I credited, Mitsubishi/Nissan/Renault for the sliding second row seat then I must slam all three of them for nonexistent rear headroom. Why is it so 'gosh darn' difficult to accommodate adult passengers in the back seat of a family CUV or sedan these days?
The "emergency use" 3rd row was a major factor in my family's decision to purchase a 2012 KIA Sorento and to replace it with another Sorento in 2018. We're a family of four (2 adults, a teenage daughter, and a big dog.) We don't use the third row often but on occasions when we transport six or seven passengers on a local trip it's a huge convenience compared to using two vehicles. And compared to other 3 row SUVs, the Sorento's third row isn't as cramped as one might think. For example, it provide 2 inches more legroom than the Toyota Highlander and considerably more overall space than the Outlander or the optional 3rd row in the Tiguan. By the same token, the Sorento's overall size makes it ideal for its primary mission of navigating the jungle of urban/suburban traffic, public marking spaces, and fitting easily in our crowded garage. Unfortunately, KIA has decided to fit every Sorento trim other than the lowest, most basic version with captain chairs in the 2nd row. Even worse, the 2.5L turbo 4 that has received universally strong reviews in virtually every one of the NINE KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis vehicles can only be had in mid and upper trim Sorentos with the captain chairs. This means that having more than 4 passengers in the vehicle forces the use of the third row. And since our big dog isn't designed for a captain chairs it means we would have to deploy the third row or keep him confined to the cargo area. And since deploying the 3rd row eliminates all but 12 cubic ft of cargo space it severely limits our options for trips that involve gear and luggage. All in all, our current 2018 top trim (SX-L) Sorento is a "goldilocks" vehicle for us. It's my wife's daily driver and our family's long distance "tripper." It easily accommodates up to five adults or four adults and "Fido" with generous cargo space behind the 2nd row. Sadly, KIA has configured the trim levels of the current Sorento in a manner that makes it a far less appealing vehicle. While we'd love to retain the convenience of an "emergency use" third row, if we were in the market now, we'd likely opt for the Sorento's stablemate, the Santa Fe.
I hear the Rogue is getting a New small VCT that has 200 some horse power. Hope this will get the same. Short Story...A co-worker went to look at one of these and she said it was sooo soo nice inside and said same as you...If it has just a bit more power she would have Purchased it.
Not a bad vehicle but you will get what you paid for. 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty is limited, means not everything is included. Went through a long process with Mitsubishi not too long ago. Maybe I was the lucky one to pick a lemon but hopefully you guys find good ones to begin new adventures.
My brother had 2 mitsu in the last 20 years, his lancer is now 13y and no issue, my step sister has so much issue with her toyota sienna in 5y. I think you got a lemon, i had 4y long battle with hyundai for motor, transmission and other stuff and they never admited their car is faulty. Every car maker has difficulty saying when they are wrong.
The unfortunate part is that the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV *should* have 7 seat third row options in North America because they clearly have third rows in the Australian market.
Speed can be about dodging other traffic more than the vehicles involved in the collision. If I'm on the highway (interstate) with other cars going 70 mph, I would do anything to avoid coming to an unexpected complete stop right in front of them. My only point is that everything is situational so I avoid words like "always", especially when talking about safety. I agree that in most lower speed situations slow is better.
How does this Outlander compares to Lexus RX 350 L in terms of legroom and cargo capacity? Despite the differences on HP and torque(not a big deal for me) I think both cars compete in terms of interior quality and comfort.
Only if the new so called "EV credit extension" won't get passed. Otherwise according to the new proposed scheme Outlander PHEV would only qualify for 4K.
I wish they made a hybrid with a ~2kwh battery, it would make up for the lower torque curve & increase mpg by 30%. The old plug-in didn't have great range & not much better efficiency when you couldn't plug in. It would be a win-win for consumers and environment.
The 3rd row in my 2019 Outlander GT looks spacious compared to this redesigned model. Otherwise I like the newer interior better. Too bad the V6 is gone. I bought mine for doing limited towing (3500lb limit) without being forced to drive around in a massive SUV all the time.
Like the Outlanders longer look and roofline. I think Mitsu’s are more reliable than Nissans. I have yet to drive an Outlander. The Rav4 was fun to drive with its new Dynamic force engine. Style wise Outlander wins both inside and out.
Mitsu dealer called to ask if I want to trade in my 2017 for a new one. I asked how many he had on the lot and he replied "2". Even Mitsu is having difficulty with enough new cars to sell in my market. Why sell, if I can not even find a new car to buy?
Alex, 100% agreed the 3rd row is only for pinch needs. Yes would love to stuff my in law there but i'll have to hear it from the wife. You never know when you need the extra seats. This gives the flex but the pricing with shortage is not helping. This car would priced for about $2-3k below msrp at the very least but now it has inflated. Not sure if the resale of this will beat Rav4 or CRV in 3-6 years from now. Thanks again for the great review, keep it up. OH you know if they are working on the Hybrid version next year?
Interesting that there isn’t any form of hybrid. In Europe at least the Outlander was one of the first PEV’s, yet this one doesn’t even have a mild hybrid. Due you know if some form of hybrid is coming or is coming but only to the world outside the US?
Saying this car isn't slow because cars 35-40 years ago were much slower is really missing the point. The importance of competitive acceleration is to safely merge onto high speed roads. Underpowered vehicles relative to most other cars severely impacts confidence while merging and can be really dangerous.
i am very confused between 2022 mitsubishi outlander, hyundai tucson and jeep compass. i need best tech and safety features with sunroof kind of things atmost priority. Would like to know if there would be any significant difference in insurance prices of these depending on brand. Your personal picks and opinions are much appreciated! 🙏
Has the outline of a Land Rover Discovery. This is the Gundam of suvs. Made a guitar cover video for the Gundam Unicorn opening theme, Star Ring Child.
Anyone who thinks that a third row seat is a seldom-used future clearly does not come from a big family. I was the Mills how the five kids growing up in a family of 7. That third row of seats had better been roomy, and it better have had a decent amount of cargo space behind it, otherwise it was a waste of time. I imagine not much has changed for households who have more than the average 2.5 kids. Obviously this would not be first-rate choice for people who have three teenagers and two preteens for kids.
0-60 in 8.4 seconds was actually about average for a sedan or SUV only 20 years ago. Anyone who thinks it isn't safe doesn't know how to drive. Today's average 0-60 for this class of vehicle is still only about 7 to 9 seconds.
Accelerating out of danger works 100% merging onto a freeway with idiots. I can confirm that. I almost died in my moms Jeep Compass lol, while in my Chrysler 200 v6 I never fear merging with speeders riding the right lane in traffic.
Where I am in the Canadian PNW, Mitsubishi dealerships in my area keep closing up shop or get shuffled around depending on who buys out the franchise. That kind of instability makes me concerned for the long term with the brand.

Why should it be expensive it’s for ppl on a tight budget
Alex, No sooner have I credited, Mitsubishi/Nissan/Renault for the sliding second row seat then I must slam all three of them for nonexistent rear headroom. Why is it so 'gosh darn' difficult to accommodate adult passengers in the back seat of a family CUV or sedan these days?
Buy a minivan or an Escalade
Mitsubishi ❤️
Thank you 🤗🤗
This over the Rogue but the cvt needs to go soon. Also this needs at least 200hp/200/lb of tq
I had a 2008 outlander AWD with the V6 - if they put a larger engine in this - this would be my next car.
Wait for the new model Phev. Might solve the power issue...
The "emergency use" 3rd row was a major factor in my family's decision to purchase a 2012 KIA Sorento and to replace it with another Sorento in 2018. We're a family of four (2 adults, a teenage daughter, and a big dog.) We don't use the third row often but on occasions when we transport six or seven passengers on a local trip it's a huge convenience compared to using two vehicles. And compared to other 3 row SUVs, the Sorento's third row isn't as cramped as one might think. For example, it provide 2 inches more legroom than the Toyota Highlander and considerably more overall space than the Outlander or the optional 3rd row in the Tiguan. By the same token, the Sorento's overall size makes it ideal for its primary mission of navigating the jungle of urban/suburban traffic, public marking spaces, and fitting easily in our crowded garage.
Unfortunately, KIA has decided to fit every Sorento trim other than the lowest, most basic version with captain chairs in the 2nd row. Even worse, the 2.5L turbo 4 that has received universally strong reviews in virtually every one of the NINE KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis vehicles can only be had in mid and upper trim Sorentos with the captain chairs. This means that having more than 4 passengers in the vehicle forces the use of the third row. And since our big dog isn't designed for a captain chairs it means we would have to deploy the third row or keep him confined to the cargo area. And since deploying the 3rd row eliminates all but 12 cubic ft of cargo space it severely limits our options for trips that involve gear and luggage.
All in all, our current 2018 top trim (SX-L) Sorento is a "goldilocks" vehicle for us. It's my wife's daily driver and our family's long distance "tripper." It easily accommodates up to five adults or four adults and "Fido" with generous cargo space behind the 2nd row. Sadly, KIA has configured the trim levels of the current Sorento in a manner that makes it a far less appealing vehicle. While we'd love to retain the convenience of an "emergency use" third row, if we were in the market now, we'd likely opt for the Sorento's stablemate, the Santa Fe.
I don't even know why they put 3rd row, too small
Mitsubishi still makes cars?
I hear the Rogue is getting a New small VCT that has 200 some horse power. Hope this will get the same.
Short Story...A co-worker went to look at one of these and she said it was sooo soo nice inside and said same as you...If it has just a bit more power she would have Purchased it.
Not a bad vehicle but you will get what you paid for. 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty is limited, means not everything is included. Went through a long process with Mitsubishi not too long ago. Maybe I was the lucky one to pick a lemon but hopefully you guys find good ones to begin new adventures.
My brother had 2 mitsu in the last 20 years, his lancer is now 13y and no issue, my step sister has so much issue with her toyota sienna in 5y. I think you got a lemon, i had 4y long battle with hyundai for motor, transmission and other stuff and they never admited their car is faulty. Every car maker has difficulty saying when they are wrong.
They should integrate the Mitsubishi sales and service network into Nissan’s here in the US
can you fold down second row seats?
The unfortunate part is that the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV *should* have 7 seat third row options in North America because they clearly have third rows in the Australian market.
Cannot wait for the phev! Game changer @ pre crazy era prices!
Just what my middle class blue collar family needs!
85k on my 2018 PHEV GT. love it but ready for this one!!!
Best car reviews in the business -- thanks! 😎
Speed can be about dodging other traffic more than the vehicles involved in the collision. If I'm on the highway (interstate) with other cars going 70 mph, I would do anything to avoid coming to an unexpected complete stop right in front of them. My only point is that everything is situational so I avoid words like "always", especially when talking about safety. I agree that in most lower speed situations slow is better.
How does this Outlander compares to Lexus RX 350 L in terms of legroom and cargo capacity? Despite the differences on HP and torque(not a big deal for me) I think both cars compete in terms of interior quality and comfort.
Wait for the PHEV. It'll qualify for the full Federal Tax Credit. Delete that 3rd row, bring back the spare tire, and redo the "wiggle shifter".
Only if the new so called "EV credit extension" won't get passed. Otherwise according to the new proposed scheme Outlander PHEV would only qualify for 4K.
@@achuvikov True, depends on what Brandon signs if anything.
I wish they made a hybrid with a ~2kwh battery, it would make up for the lower torque curve & increase mpg by 30%. The old plug-in didn't have great range & not much better efficiency when you couldn't plug in. It would be a win-win for consumers and environment.
I would pick-up a Mazda CX-5 all day over any of those !!!!
The 3rd row in my 2019 Outlander GT looks spacious compared to this redesigned model. Otherwise I like the newer interior better. Too bad the V6 is gone. I bought mine for doing limited towing (3500lb limit) without being forced to drive around in a massive SUV all the time.
Do you have vinfast coming on your agenda, thanks.
Odd that the third row has more room than the pricier and bigger RX L
Like the Outlanders longer look and roofline. I think Mitsu’s are more reliable than Nissans. I have yet to drive an Outlander. The Rav4 was fun to drive with its new Dynamic force engine. Style wise Outlander wins both inside and out.
Very well put together video as always. I wonder why you did not consider any of the American offerings like GMC Acadia or Chevy Equinox.
@Jonathan A I have a 2017 Equinox with over 100k and our neighbor has a 2016 Terrain with 70k. Neither vehicle has had any problems.
@Jonathan A Well, we must be the lucky ones. Like with any vehicle, you get some good ones and some bad ones.
@Jonathan A I don’t think reliability is a determining factor here. Otherwise when reviewing range rovers, he would not compare it to anything.
Mitsu dealer called to ask if I want to trade in my 2017 for a new one. I asked how many he had on the lot and he replied "2". Even Mitsu is having difficulty with enough new cars to sell in my market. Why sell, if I can not even find a new car to buy?
Alex stylin the new hairdo!
I'm waiting for the phev
winner of the 'wtf did you do with the front end' award
Drive it at night and you will understand :).
the front reminds me of Evoque, and explorer vibes.
Alex, 100% agreed the 3rd row is only for pinch needs. Yes would love to stuff my in law there but i'll have to hear it from the wife. You never know when you need the extra seats. This gives the flex but the pricing with shortage is not helping. This car would priced for about $2-3k below msrp at the very least but now it has inflated. Not sure if the resale of this will beat Rav4 or CRV in 3-6 years from now. Thanks again for the great review, keep it up. OH you know if they are working on the Hybrid version next year?
Interesting that there isn’t any form of hybrid. In Europe at least the Outlander was one of the first PEV’s, yet this one doesn’t even have a mild hybrid. Due you know if some form of hybrid is coming or is coming but only to the world outside the US?
Saying this car isn't slow because cars 35-40 years ago were much slower is really missing the point. The importance of competitive acceleration is to safely merge onto high speed roads. Underpowered vehicles relative to most other cars severely impacts confidence while merging and can be really dangerous.
The car looks like the love child between Range Rover and Palisade tbh..
This design was previewed back in 2016 with Mitsubishi's GT PHEV Concept so yeah
i am very confused between 2022 mitsubishi outlander, hyundai tucson and jeep compass. i need best tech and safety features with sunroof kind of things atmost priority. Would like to know if there would be any significant difference in insurance prices of these depending on brand. Your personal picks and opinions are much appreciated! 🙏
Get the Outlander
Didn’t talk about hybrid version coming up 😥 Waiting to see it compared to Sorento
The phev version of this will have more hp right?
Has the outline of a Land Rover Discovery.
This is the Gundam of suvs.
Made a guitar cover video for the Gundam Unicorn opening theme, Star Ring Child.
I miss the DSMs, Eclipse/Talons/Lasers
Anyone who thinks that a third row seat is a seldom-used future clearly does not come from a big family. I was the Mills how the five kids growing up in a family of 7. That third row of seats had better been roomy, and it better have had a decent amount of cargo space behind it, otherwise it was a waste of time. I imagine not much has changed for households who have more than the average 2.5 kids. Obviously this would not be first-rate choice for people who have three teenagers and two preteens for kids.
TIL Mitsubishi still makes vehicles in the U.S..
0-60 in 8.4 seconds was actually about average for a sedan or SUV only 20 years ago. Anyone who thinks it isn't safe doesn't know how to drive. Today's average 0-60 for this class of vehicle is still only about 7 to 9 seconds.
3:11 What’s with the legroom back there?? Does the second row slide up?
4:26 Ah haha, Never mind.
Wonder if it has a launching gear paired with CVT, as toyota and honda now did with CVT.
No launching gear. But, still take it easy with acceleration to make the CVT last.
@@stevepolakof9484 Thank you for the information. Mitsubishi is a little jointed with Nissan. I hope they have improved CVT since Altima
Accelerating out of danger works 100% merging onto a freeway with idiots. I can confirm that. I almost died in my moms Jeep Compass lol, while in my Chrysler 200 v6 I never fear merging with speeders riding the right lane in traffic.
why can't we have mitsubishi Pajero here?
Darn these lack of emergency spar wheels
I drive mine always on sport mode because it's sluggish with normal.
Australian outlanders come with a spare tire under the third row.
i glanced at this model, then i checked the engine power or lack there of and moved on
Now I know where Alex lets his mother in law sit in the car. lol
"Continously" 😏😏 02:10
Where I am in the Canadian PNW, Mitsubishi dealerships in my area keep closing up shop or get shuffled around depending on who buys out the franchise. That kind of instability makes me concerned for the long term with the brand.
I’d buy a Mitsubishi over a Nissan any day. They may not sell very well anymore but they’re better than a new Nissan
Has Mitsubishi fixed the Outlander's HOOD FLUTTER? Please add a night review. 1 mill subs. We can do it!
Isn't this a 2023??
