It also perfored well in a recent snow storm. Not as good in snow as our old Suzuki GV but the slip and grip 4 wheel drive and skinny all weather tires of the Outlander gripped very well.

LS Model. I'm loving it. Of course it has only turned 1100 km. A recent trip I get 10l / 100km high with mis=xed weather conditions and highway speeds varying from 110 to 10km/hr.

1. It keeps seeking for higher gear (fuel efficiency factor?)
2. Shifting from first gear to second is not as smooth as my LS '08 (maybe still learning my driving habit).
Other than that, I'm loving it too! By the way,what type of fuel do you use, regular or premium?

I've been using regular. Maybe when the weather gets warmer I'll give the premium a try and do a mileage test.
Actually, I like the gearing of the transmission and the shifting has gotten smoother after a few hundred miles. The transmission switch from neutral to 1st gear on moving away from a stop sign or red light is abit abrupt.
It does seem to take a while to warm up, though and could throw more heat once there. I wish there was some indication that you could see re the heated seats, but I you sure can feel them.

That is the motion detectors for the security system. Not sure where the mic is without looking at the owners manual again.

Just bought one
I live in Ontario.
Just bought a 2010 XLS this week in the new quartz brown color. Waiting for the dealer to locate one, they do not have many in Canada due to shipment damage out of Japan.
Good question regarding block heater, I never thought of asking as I always assume vehicles sold here come with it.
