Hey to all. I just became a Mitstubishi owner for the first. I purchased a 06 outlander se with awd last month, and I love it. The only terrible thing about this vehicle is the GPA. It sucks on gas mileage. But I love the idea that it came with rims, and nice tires, and a fairly nice cd changer sound system. Let me know what you guys think of it. And, I hope it was worth the money.

Looks good! Nice and stock...for now.

 

Im trying to find parts for it to make it stand out, but I am new to outlanders, especially Mitsu's. Are the 2005 models the same as the 2006's?

 

Depends on what yr looking for.....anything in mind?

 

The real changes occurred from 03 to 04 with the MIVEC engine coming for 04. For 05 the projector headlights replaced the halogens and some newly sculpted body lines and taillights. There is some interior trim that changed as well. The 05 also added a stick shift to the base(LS) model lineup, which I think should be an option throughout the lineup, but that's just me. XLS model was also dropped, it is now LS, SE, and Limited. Climate control is also a new option on 06. ABS and front side airbags are now standard on 06. There were a lot of changes between the standard and optional equipment. Seems strange since they will supposedly be revamping the Outlander for 07 in pretty dramatic fashion. Those are the only changes worth mentioning as far as I can tell. In any case, the 06 has more creature comfortsd available and more standard equipment. You should be able to use most parts from 04 and up outlanders, minus the forementioned differences. The drivetrain, unfortunately, remained the same.
BTW, nice ride. Search through the forum and you'll find some mods you can use, some of the Lancer Ralliart mods will work also.

 

That's right...Lancer Ralliart has some nice shizz baby!!

 

I hear that!! Also accelerates to 60 a full 3 seconds faster than your Outlander too, that means 4 seconds for mine. If only it were a little larger or the Sportback came with a manual transmission. The dealer I take my car to has an 04 RA I checked out, it was tempting. No AWD and much less weight works well for the engine, I was jealous... and that's no mods too.

 

The Sportback doesn't come with a manual transmission? Wow...I thought it did for some reason.

 

What a dumb idea, huh? I really liked them until it was an auto only, not even a sprot-tronic transmission either.... just a POS auto. What does Mitsubishi have against manual transmissions? You would think they would be available on every car in every option group.

 

BTW, congrats on post #600...that's a lot of time and typing!
