Mitsubishi Outlander: reliability or any other issues? UPDATE pg 3

I’m looking into buying the Outlander, but wondered if anyone has had experience with their reliability or any other issues. JD Power rates them pretty high. They are all over Europe, but don’t see them much here.
TIA

I owned one Mitsubishi and it was trash. This was around 2004.

Just get a 4runner or grand highlander and be done with it
Or get on waiting list to have a Lexus GX in 2 years

I think Mitshubishi finally jumped Nissan in terms of Japanese brand/quality, but both are in the same tier.

My kid and my neighbor have one. One about two years old and one about a year old. No issues yet.

Mitsubishi's are like the Dollar General of vehicles. I had one in high school and it was pure garbage.
If I'm being 100% honest, I'm surprised to learn they still make them. I really did think they just went away.

Great value, but you ultimately get what you pay for. Mitsubishi vehicles tend to be very lacking in features, are less fuel efficient, and less reliable, though better than they were in the past. If you can’t afford a 4-runner but need a similarly sized vehicle, you could do worse.

My first car was a Mitsubishi Galant - it lasted forever - even got my mom and grandma out of Katrina floodwaters
I traded it in bc we outgrew it

Mitsubishi is quickly replacing the Nissan brand (Altima, Maxima, Sentra, Pathfinder, Armada, etc.) and is catching up to the Dodge Charger/Challenger in terms of being popular with a certain segment of the population.

It's not a Toyota, but if you maintain them they will be fine. More like a Nissan (without the CVT), Mazda, or Chevrolet in terms of reliability.

Had one for a couple of years 2016 model. Rides nice and handles well. Had no problems with it at all. If I understand it right, the 6 cylinder engine comes with the better transmission. The 4 cylinder I had was a little wonky on acceleration in some situations.
The seats lay back nicely making a 6' flat bed if you need that for hauling stuff.
Overall, it was cheap at $21k and a lot of car for the buck.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is essentially a disguised Nissan Rogue.
Nissan owns the majority share of Mitsubishi.

Going on two years with one and MIL going on 5 years with hers. Zero problems what so ever so far. It does lack a little power but wife is fine with it. 35 mpg’s is something I’m definitely ok with.

Looks like something a honcho in the Yakuza gets picked up in to go to dinner.

I rented one recently. Has a lot of Tech options, but I thought it was a gutless POS.
Poor ride quality with zero power.

It's a Nissan Rogue, so whatever the reliability on that is.

I had a Mitsubishi suv 2001-2006
It was fine, but I also would never own another one.
Repeated issues with transmission, they replaced it once and then added a cooler when the issues persisted. The issue was I would be on an incline at a stop light and it wouldn’t move after driving for a few miles.
There was a faulty 4wd switch that would engage without my knowledge, which meant it gobbled up tires.
It went thru brakes like crazy, it was too heavy for the oem rotors.
But I don’t recall any engine issues. The leather was nice.

I wouldn't buy a Mitsubishi or Nissan personally. Get a Toyota or Honda man. I would rather buy a used older model pickup truck personally. You can actually repair them yourself.

I bought a used 2016 a few years ago with less than 40k miles on it. 70k miles later, and it's still going strong. I know one other person who has had a 2020/2021 for a few years and says the same.
