A great value purchase
Source: Edmunds

...We bought this to replace a 3-series BMW sedan. With a growing, athletic son and two large dogs, we needed to return to having an SUV for toting everyone around.
Having previously owned both a Pathfinder and a Highlander, we were familiar with the virtues/vices of both truck- and car- based SUVs.
We researched the Outlander thoroughly, and this model is recommended by both Edmunds and Consumer Reports.
In fact, this model gets the nod over the 6 cyl, and we agree with that assessment.
It is truly a great value purchase: fun to drive, very good technology, comfortable, and...

Great Crossover

...Gas Mileage was to be 22/28I get 18 around town (a lot of hills in Western PA) and haven't hit the highway yet. had to remove the middle head rest to see out the back. Ran into my son's car as I didn't see it.*Good Stuff, I really enjoy driving the Outlander,The handlig is great. It's a blast to drive. I like the versitility of it. AWD has gotten me though some nasty snow storms without much effort.The 10 year 100,000 warranty can't be beat by anyone. I dumped 3 K in my explorer in a year and a half.It was the best choice I made and would buy another one in a minute.My wife really likes it as...

I love my MO!

...I decided to get rid of my truck for something more practical but I didn't want to look like a soccer mom.
So I steered clear of the more popular compact suvs and fell in love w/ the Outlander.
It's a blast to drive! The sound system is great (6 disc changer was a nice surprise), but the cool new redesigned grill is really what drew me to it.
It looks pretty tough going down the road! I've had it for just over 3 months now and I'm more in love every time I jump in the driver's seat.
The visibility is really good and it's very easy to park. Overall, I am completely...

Value
Source: Edmunds

...I researched this very competitive market in depth, many good choices but none were a better value when considering everything.
MSRP $24,705 Invoice $23,333 Sale Price $22,199 and received full Blue Book Trade In Value for my trade in.
Also, 0% financing for 36 months. Lastly,5 yr bumper to bumper, 5 yr road side assistance, and 10 yr power train warranties.
Mitsubishi's however don't hold their value as trade ins, so a negative if you will sell or trade in after a few years, with low mileage...

4wd makes itreliable in winter. 60Kmiles bumper/bumper warranty wipes out your worries away.affordable, cute yet reliable.made my wife happy ( had to ad some extras ) forlittle las than 24.000$"...

Is the best value for money
Source: Cars.com

...The 5/60 10/100 warranty puts it at the top for coverage, equal with Hyundai's and Kia's, and the 20/25 MPG of the 2.4L 4cyl is appreciated at today's gas prices. Handling is on par with any of the other CUV/SUV's I test drove, and the front seats were the most comfortable of the lot. The 2.4L 4cyl is more than sufficent to take the hills on the climb from Phoenix to Flagstaff (elevation 7,000 ft.) While the interior will not win any WOW awards, it is pleasant and functional and the 3 front glove boxes are nice for storing all the things that somehow end up in the car. Last but not least is...

2008 xls outlander

...I Love it!!!! Got it a couple of weeks ago and I have nothing but good things to say about it..Runs great, looks great, so much fun to drive.
Looked at several types of crossover suvs and this was by far the best one. I will say that the XLS Model is the way to go. All the gadgets are very cool...

Tremendous 2 or 4 drive option!
Source: Edmunds

...The best thing about this car is the ability to drive in either 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive option.
I live in the Northeast and I use the 4 wheel drive in bad weather.
The rest of the year I will use the 2 wheel drive option--- I get about 30 mpg with this option. ALL THE SUVs should have this option...

Love Car but don't buy from Nashua
Source: Edmunds

...This SUV has lived up to the good reviews I read before buying.
This XLS AWD V6 handles well on the roads and corners with decent acceleration.
I love the options with XLS and choose the XLS which includes the option of Leather Heated Front Seats, among other decent options including Satellite.
When I negotiated the price of the car, it supposedly came with Satellite which was an option I was looking for.
However, after the dealership gave me a short demonstration on how to activate the options of the car, which I verified verbally and was given info from the dealership to...

Wonderful SUV
Source: Edmunds

...The Outlander was purchased just before the great snow storm of 2010 in DC: Could not be timed any better.
The Outlander rode on ice and snow as though the roads were clear and free.
Handling is as good as you expect from a SUV. The sound system is wonderful and the finish is perfect.
All the controls are easily accessible and conveniently located. The only item we wish we had: a compass. great feature: how many miles left on a tank of gas...

Why should I also consider these?

The most direct rival to the 2010 Outlander is likely the Toyota RAV4 Sport, which, like the Outlander, can be equipped with a small third-row seat.

The RAV4 is much more refined and agreeable with the base four-cylinder engine, while its optional V-8 is even more powerful.

The Forester is another top rival; in this case, too, the standard four in the Outlander doesn’t seem nearly as strong as the standard flat-four in the Subaru, even though their power figures are close.

The Mazda CX-7 seats only five, but it's perceived as a more complete performance package, with very comfortable seating, sporty suspension tuning, and a rorty turbocharged engine; for 2010 there's also a new base version, with a still-adequate 2.5-liter four, that costs a bit less.

The Forester and CR-V remain the best for those who are safety-minded; they're both IIHS Top Safety Picks.

For those who don't need a third row but want a roomy, comfortable interior, the Honda CR-V is probably the best pick, though it's not nearly as engaging to drive.

 
2010 Honda CR-V
The 2010 Honda CR-V is a bit homely, but it fits right in for those placing the priority on frugality, safety, and interior space.
 
2010 Mazda CX-7
If you want the driving experience of a sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon, the 2010 Mazda CX-7 remains one of the better choices.
 
2010 Subaru Forester
The 2010 Subaru Forester may not be as powerful or well-equipped as its rivals, but it really shines in its more carlike dynamics and superior handling.
 
2010 Toyota RAV4
Though it might wear a spare tire on its tail like the hard-core SUVs of yore, don't let that throw you off. The 2010 Toyota RAV4 is actually a practical, fuel-efficient choice for frugal families on the go.
