 Pros: decent on gas. Small.Cons: Small. Unreliable: In less than 3000 miles, this vehicle developed a transmission shudder (CVT), the airbag and seat belt warnings came on, and finally the tire pressure warnings came on. Comfort: It's horridly uncomfortable for an average American. Suspension bottoms out when the vehicle is loaded, and It doesn't have anywhere near the ground clearance needed. Obviously not designed for anything off road - not recommended at all. The Outlander might be an upsize for small-statured folks in the country of origin, but if you're over 6' or 250 lbs, fuggettaboutit. Convenience: The sunvisors don't extend. There's no aux audio input for an mp3 player. The A/C is weak and can't cope with 105 degree days. Bluetooth does pair up with your phone quickly and phone calls work good. Performance: Nonexistent from idle to 3500 rpm. The throttle needs gouged to spin the motor to redline. Highway passes made easily but the car sounds like it's coming apart when flogged. Transmission shifts are atrocious and a pronounced driveline shudder appeared in the first month.Safety: given the cramped quarters in the foot area, in the event of a frontal crash, you'd be pinned in the car with two broken legs. Given that the airbag lights came on in the first three months of use, the car seems like a death trap waiting to spring. Reliability: nonexistent. The car accumulated more issues every month. Dealers are only located in metropolitan areas, for us a 150 mile drive. Overall: We turned this POS back into GSA and pray they don't ever, ever issue this model to anyone else.
