Short Take

Despite the name the Outlander Sport is not a fun car to drive. This chopped version of the Outlander SUV has reduced rear-seat and cargo space. It handles less nimbly than the larger Outlander, and acceleration from the 2.0-liter engine is adequate at best. All-wheel drive bumps the price up where it competes with better SUVs.

Solid Choice by Ricky on 05/07/2012. Trim: 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 2WD.

Pros: Styling, built quality, Price

Cons: Please use the Mitsubishi 2.4 engine on this car (Also offer diesel, hybrid, etc.) for the US market.

Overall review: Very agile, if fitted with the 2.4 4 banger, rather than the 2.0 engine, more happy customers in the US (Toyota and Honda pick the 2.4 engine and selling well). Overall Outlander Sport (RVR/ASX) packed with many options as standard (Bluetooth, USB, Paddle Shift, etc.) for a very reasonable. price.
