We used to have a 2007 Outlander with the 3.0 V6. We bought it with 20,000 miles from Avis rental. Gave us very reliable service, all we had to do was the routine maintenance, tires/brakes/oil changes. We sold it with 80,000 miles in 2012 and the current owner has 130K plus on it and its still giving them reliable service. The only thing with a Mitsubishi is to replace the timing belts every 60K regardless.....when I worked in Mitsubishi service I saw lots of engine failures at 75-80K because the timing belts were never replaced. We have had many Mitsubishi's over the years, Eclipse's, the Outlander and a Galant. All were extremely reliable and never left us stranded. I would buy another Mitsubishi in a minute. The new Outlander represents a great deal with the discounts/rebates offered. The Body Style is ok, but you get a lot of features for the money and the AWD System Mitsubishi uses is very similar to what was used in the Lancer EVO and works incredibly well in snow. With the 5/60,000 b2b warranty and 10/100,000 powertrain you cant go wrong.
