Hello all! My first post.

I just got a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS with 4999 miles on it. I traded in my 2008 Honda Pilot that I still owed over $20000 and about 4 years left to pay on it, it had over 64,000 miles.

Good idea?

This is my first Mitsu.

Thanks

David

 

@sdglinas - thank you for the reply, you are very helpful.

Sorry to say I am driving it for the weekend.

 

I had a 2003 Honda Pilot before.
The Outlander is way more fun to drive and feels sporty, the Pilot feels like driving a minivan/SUV mix. However, it did feel more solid like a proper SUV, whereas the Outlander feels like a car.
I don't know what to say, the Pilot is probably a bit more reliable and can tow more/has more space, but at the expense of performance, fuel economy, and handling. Likewise, the Outlander is pretty hackable/well documented, so its easier to fix/modify stuff.

I don't think its comparable in the same class, I personally chose to downsize and found the Outlander to be a good compromise between a car and an SUV. I was looking to buy an AWD car before I got the Outlander.
