Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 in depth. Best value rare mid 7 seater SUV? Electric steering discussed

[@gunnarbron8762]

I love my 2016 model Outlander not a single problem since owning it

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

The black looking thing on the grill is nick named by Mitsubishi as the shield of armor. I personal really like the way it looks. I love this SUV.

[@DFWsCars]

Love bits of info like that!

[@metalmick99]

Nice review. You made a point that I think nobody else has: I have the seats folded down most of the time for the stuff I carry, so if I can't use the centre storage bin, that's a deal-breaker for me. I also saw the blue discoloration of the driver's seat (perhaps from jeans-wearers)at around 5:40.

[@DFWsCars]

Michael Pless ya white or cream is next to impossible to keep clean!! Even though press cars get cleaned regularly- this one was flawless but for that.

[@DFWsCars]

+Michael so I found out something interesting form a viewer that could fix the console issue (hope it works for you): First put 2nd row seats back all the way, 2nd flip 2nd row bottom seat up. 3rd fold down 2nd row headrest then fold down 2nd row back seat down to have a totally flat floor to the back of the Outlander.

[@metalmick99]

Many thanks for taking the time for the follow-up - it's much appreciated. Perhaps it will stay on my shopping list after all!

[@gunnarbron8762]

I love my 2016 model Outlander

[@Official_Switchel]

The GT will be my next vehicle, 7 seats, same sound system and sub as my eclipse but with a better amp, super all wheel control which is great in Wisconsin, and a nice 6 speed auto as i will not buy a cvt trans car. Very good video thanks for showing me more about this nice car.

[@DFWsCars]

M.T. German that is an awesome choice! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Official_Switchel]

DFWs Cars i also must say that i'm very excited for the future of Mitsubishi's cars in North America now that Nissan owns the controlling share of the company. I've always been a fan of Mitsu cars as i've had tremendous luck with them reliability wise, i'm on my 3rd one and this Outlander will be my 4th. I have never owned any other brand but had friends who had terrible experiences with Volkswagen, and GM's even though GM and VW have huge followings and are massive car manufacturers.

[@federiconavarra2370]

Hi there, Im from México i really like your channel and thanks to this video i bought this truck, thank you and keep doing a great job! Cheers from Mexico!

[@DFWsCars]

glad you enjoyed, happy to have you on my channel.

[@chuanindo5690]

I think Mitsubishi cars most known for its performance in rally competitions (Paris-Dakar, etc.)

[@karamich75]

Yes the major downside of my 2016 model is the very very very artificial steering feel. Handling is really the major negative aspect of this family crossover that offers overall a lot of value for the money... I have the AWD version and I took it on some mild rough roads and the handling was really bad with that artificial steering wheel that did not inspire confidence... The Subaru Outback that I wanted initially but could not get a good deal on it, handles much better with a more precise and very well tuned electric steering wheel.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

It's called electronic steering and it is not for everyone. We like it.

[@lilpeppa117G]

kallasnikov I don't like my subarus steering very heavy

[@nightdonutstudio]

I think most direct competitor is nissan rougue. that car can be have for 7 seats as well and on smaller 7 seats suv as well.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

The Rouge is a 5 seater. You are thinking about the Nissan Pathfinder.

[@kxngcorrupt5524]

UsfanlovesMinho you can get the family package where you can add 2 more seats

[@DFWsCars]

I do agree the Pathfinder may be closer to the full size Outlander.

[@tashunnamoore6407]

I agree, my mom has a 2018 outlander and my auntie just got a 2018 Nissan Rogue a few weeks ago. I like the Nissan better because the driver seat goes back further than the outlander. My legs hurts while driving long distance in the outlander. 😲😞

[@kmckenzie2461]

Great video! Keep them coming!!!

[@DFWsCars]

Kevin McKenzie thanks your Mirage seems pretty cool.

[@webalam.odindo9781]

Thanks. Good review.

[@DFWsCars]

Thanks

[@tashunnamoore6407]

I'm 5'5. My mom has a 2018 outlander & auntie just bought a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The outlander sucks on the highway and the driver seat doesn't let back far enough and the steering well does not adjust well. That's just my personal experience, but my auntie got a better deal on the Nissan price wise than my mom got on the outlander here in South Carolina. She went from a 2016 and upgraded for a 2018 outlander for space to transport two kids 3 & 1 with car seats. Still she has no room in the 2018 outlander for the car seats. What a waste of her money but the faults on her for not shopping around.

[@Rocc1994]

Stop trolling

[@mahditokh3089]

Should change transmission fluid?How often? On Mitsubishi outhlander sport SE.Thank You

[@danielrivera6252]

There is a 1, 2, 3 system of levers for making it so the third row seat is accessible. Not that you would want to use it, its terrible and uncomfortable, but its there.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

We don't use the third row at all and always have the seats folded down so we have good storage space, but it is nice to know they are there in case we just happen to need to carry a couple more people, we can.

[@alexbeke6513]

Nice car !

[@DFWsCars]

Thanks, it was a good little SUV to drive

[@gustavojoseperezlopez2928]

It's direct competitors are the Nissan Rogue, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and Dodge Journey.

[@DFWsCars]

Gustavo José Pérez López good call! Looks like on the newest of those you can get 7 seats as an option. Impressive although I bet on smaller ones like the Rogue, etc- those 2 seats would pretty much be way way in the back

[@nightdonutstudio]

sorento is bigger and its third row might be the biggest among those small suv.

[@DFWsCars]

Kai Liu for sure, the new Sorrento seems pretty cool and I'll have to check one out.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

The Nissan Rogue is the competitor for the Outlander Sport, not the Outlander. But the others you mentioned are correct.

[@Dominus396]

I need help deciding between the Sorento and the outlander gt. They both have the 10 year powertrain warranty.. They both seat 7.. But the outlander gt seems as better built in the interior trim..

[@DFWsCars]

I like the Outlander, but sore to is also nice

[@hagainave]

Great review, thanks! I'm debating between this and the X-Trail (7 seaters), would love to hear your opinion. TNX

[@DFWsCars]

So here in the states it’s known as the Nissan Rogue think- and I would say it feels smaller but overall a bit more modern. MSRP for MSRP you get more bang for your buck with the Mitsubishi and more features (at least in the US market) and looks wise I personally prefer the Mitsubishi styling and interior). Both good tho. Hope that helps חגי נ

[@kingvega0218]

Nice video left a like!

[@DFWsCars]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[@MW-C-Music-Copyright-Free]

WooW Good Job ;) You Rock Man

[@judycook8651]

How do you turn the dash lights on

[@DFWsCars]

Believe with the headlights? If not there’s a dimmer on the dash.

[@adriang9342]

Are the middle seats removable?

[@soblessed318]

Does the Mitsubishi Outlander have a digital speedometer in the driver information center with MPH?

[@DFWsCars]

I recall there was a mode for that- but let me look into it.

[@Sachidananda74]

Forward Collision Warning system does not warn based on relative speed, it only gives if the front car is stand still. in real world we need for a slow moving front car while you are approaching in high speed. a little Garmin GPS "Garmin 010-N1682-02 Drive Assist 51 NA LMT-S" does a better job. I finally bought this GPS for warning. My old Subaru FMC was far far better.

[@DFWsCars]

You’re talking about the FCW in the Mitsu specifically? I know many FCW systems do use relative speed. The model I reviewed had the speed based cruise control, so I wonder if they changed anything with FCW as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Sachidananda74]

@@DFWsCars Yes I am an owner of PHEV 2018 model I bought after reading the owners manual and youtube. in practical forget the break,the collision warning also not coming. it only comes when the car in front is still and you are going to bang. I am happy with the adaptive cruise , but I am not sure how to convey to Mitsubishi software folks to have this warning part rectified.

[@cweeks-jr9jx]

thanks!

[@kissfxckbang]

If i buy a used low mileage model of this, like 20k miles, will I still be able to use that 100k powertrain 60k b2b manufacturer warranty?

[@DFWsCars]

I believe it stays with the car like most new warranties but I would triple check with your dealer.

[@jamesseaver6326]

that subwoofer will blow some bass into his ...

[@DFWsCars]

haha, good thing I didn't turn it on!

[@jamesseaver6326]

may the subwoofer be with you:)

[@chuanindo5690]

Just a little suggestion here; I think it is good if you can tell a bit about the brand's history and maybe some interesting information in the opening, before you go through the product review. :)

[@chuanindo5690]

But you should be careful where you got your information from, it must be from valid source and is accessible by others. :)

[@DFWsCars]

Chuan Indo that's a totally awesome idea! I tried to do that with the sports car history and comment how they were known now for TVS (if I recall right they are also a industrial company). I kinda hated mentioning their history here tho- because sadly they are moving away from sporty vehicles, and also rugged SUVs like the Mitsubishi Montero (at least in the us).

[@DFWsCars]

What really excites me now is their new Renault-Nissan alliance so the will have some $ again, and shared R/D, etc. should allow for some great cars (hopefully)

[@rajutanvir2280]

i am worrying about back seat if i can't seat properly then what i would gain by buying this... i was expecting more information about this in your video !! btw thanks for this video

[@DFWsCars]

So perhaps my thumbnail was bad then. This is me at almost 6 feet trying to squeeze myself in the 3rd row. As I mention those 3rd rows are best for kids or a quick trip for adults. The 1st and 2nd row were great.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

If you are talking about the third row, it is perfect for children instead of adults IMO. My husband has a 2017 and we never use the third row. He bought it because he likes everything about it.

[@chriskal6101]

The audio differences in the whole video are all over the place one second it's quiet the next second it's revving and super loud

[@DFWsCars]

Chris Kal thanks for the feedback. Were you on headphones? 🎧 this was one of my earlier videos and now I try to edit on speakers and then watch once on headphones because it sounds so different.

[@jai1582]

you didn't mention nissan rogue w/fam package that seats 7

[@DFWsCars]

good call, also the new VW Tiguan has a 7 seat package. Going forward I think that will be the norm for the sort of midsize group.

[@mitsu_lancer]

Nissan rogue has 7 passanger opt. And cost to much for add that opt.

[@kxngcorrupt5524]

I don't know whether to get the Rogue with family package or this, does this have rear a/c vents

[@DFWsCars]

I don’t specifically recall the rear vents but assume it would. It is by far the better value of the 2.

[@kxngcorrupt5524]

Ferrari Dave Oh ok thanks for the reply

[@jai1582]

that is my dilemma the rogue or this

[@ChristaForLifeTechLady86]

It does not have rear vents at all

[@kxngcorrupt5524]

Ahhh cause I like this car, but, I don't want my kids freezing while I'm warm

[@dlast494]

What was the beeping sound?

[@DFWsCars]

I'll have to make sure it's not in any other videos, thanks.

[@wirehot09]

Please state your height.. because im 6'3 is it a comfortable drive because i own the outlander sport 13 and man its small

[@DFWsCars]

Just under 6 feet. 5'10-11. I have a review of the sport and ya even the 2nd row can be tight with 2 six footers.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

My husband is 6'3 1/2 and is very comfortable driving it. Plenty of leg and head room.

[@ericzxl]

I hate its electric steering especially on the highway.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

Once you get used to it, it is not bad at all.

[@jay_mp4]

Man I have the 2014 one and its nothing compared to this

[@DFWsCars]

Jason,DJay ya- cars some a long way in a short time!!

[@aeward2000]

I love my car BUT...It is a shame that some Mitsubishi dealers will try to find any excuse not not to honor the bumper to bumper 60,000 Mile Warranty. No matter how great of a product is...if you have issues and you take it to the dealership to get fixed and you are given the run around so the dealership does not have to bother to send a warranty claim to Mitsubishi that will hold their money for some time. Mitsubishi dealers are digging their own grave and soon they will be just like Suzuki Dealers....GONE...

[@brandonherbster2362]

would this be a good car for my grandmother

[@DFWsCars]

if she likes SUVs

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

IMO this SUV has a masculine look to it. My husband has one, but I can not picture my mother in-law driving it. Consider the Nissan Rouge for her.

[@lmjesuschrist7450]

Sitting in ours right now lol

[@fixitfelix718]

Its not the best value 7 seater.. its the only value 7 seater !! I love my 2017.. beware not many aftermarket parts and very expensive OEM parts.

[@anthonyvillanueva5174]

your also missing the KIA sorento which is a 7 seater

[@DFWsCars]

Anthony Villanueva good call out. I always think of it as a sister car to the Santa Fe, but did look and it is actually 6" shorter.

[@ethanleggett8556]

kia sorento Maybe

[@DFWsCars]

Good call out- I've heard that, I had the Santa Fe but it seemed bigger. Have the Kia Kardenza this week, and will have to see about getting a Sorento coming up.

[@penguindiego]

The GT VERSION MUCH MUCH BETTER

[@DFWsCars]

D.A. Paulino I imagined as much.

[@hollyatkinson3940]

You say it so weird 😂

[@carolinemason2747]

kia rondo 7 passenger
