 I drove a lot of crossovers  before buying my Outlander. It was the most fun to drive with great handling and awesome acceleration . It has also been one of the most Reliable  vehicles  I have ever owned .  I've only had it in for repairs  for a minor exhaust problem, otherwise  just routine  maintenance . Update: in 2017 4 months after the emissions warranty expired, one of the catalytic converters went out. The Mitsubishi dealer wanted at least $2,000 to replace just the converter, another grand if the O2 sensors were bad. I took it to the local shop and had the converter and both O2 sensors done for $1200. I found out that Denso made the O2 sensors and Mitsubishi jacked up the price when they put their name on them. Besides the problem my Outlander I still love it and love driving it.BTW my friends Outlander saved her life when she was T-boned by truck.
