A great value purchaseSource: Edmunds

Great CrossoverSource: Cars.com...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.

Is the best value for moneySource: 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... |

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.
