You can look at the Wiki article to see if its "good." (that's a very subjective question):
Mitsubishi 6B3 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's reliable, I haven't heard of a single issue with the engine itself.
I personally like the fact that its SOHC, which means 90% of peak torque is at 2000 RPM. Like a diesel almost.
However, it doesn't really like to rev, it will just make more noise but not give you much past 4000.
Judging from the cars you have listed, you will be a bit disappointed with the Outlander, as it isn't made for fast 0 to 60 times at all. Those all probably have high HP/DOHC and peak torque at something like 6000 RPM.

good to know, we dont named here as XLS. Get the car yestarday.... GREAT CROSSOVER!!!! I got the V6 TOP: Xenon lights; parking assistance; etc... The transmission is same as used in freelander 1 being the best part of the car. Anyway... I´ll test my OL in off road. Have you used for this purpose or just for snow???

I've heard good reviews about Jatco
SOHC means less maintenance costs :]
If you bought the XLS 2WD, you may want to see if you can switch to the 215/70R16 size rims that come on the other models, those will give you a much more comfortable ride. It looks like both XLS 2wd and 4wd have the same tire size, so for off roading purposes the LS 4wd is your best bet

however... my car is running 5 km per liter of petrol. Here we use 25% ethanol 75% petrol... is that normal???

So when you say "here" where abouts is that? I'm guessing across the pond. Also what year did you end up getting?
