 I had the base model with the full upgrade package with the Fosgate Stereo and the 7-seater. Some may look at this as an average vehicle but personally I used to hate buying a car and all the accessories fall apart and the handles falling off the doors and the stereo systems not being very well and seats covers cracking. I have to say the Mitsubishi uses the best parts for the interior of the car because none of them ever fall off or fall apart and the seat covers look like new when we handle the car back in. The Fosgate stereo system with the bass booster was just awesome and it really didn't cost that much more to get the extra accessories when you actually see what you get. All-wheel drive would have been wonderful but the car handle pretty well in bad weather. The one thing that I agree with is the two seats in the back we're kind of useless facing forward. They should have had it designed so that the seats would be facing looking backwards so that you had good leg room. I just took out one of the seats and made extra storage cargo. It was fine for my needs and my family. Overall, this is the really the best bang for your buck at a great quality level. The tires that the car came with lasted 50,000 miles easy. The four cylinder engine also seem to hold up very well. We put about a hundred thousand miles on the car and never once had a major repair except one recall on the emergency brake cable. No cost to us. I love the Outlander series. As we speak I'm shopping for another one now.
