Default Mitsubishi outlander sport

I'm looking at the Mitsubishi outlander, an I have to say it I kinda like it.. The styling, options etc etc, a lot of nice features for a great price under 28k

What do u guys think of the this vehicle as a winter car for the harsh MI weather

I recommend taking your question to a Mitsubishi forum.

The regular Outalnder has continually received poor reviews and grades since it's inception. The newer Sport is fairing a little better, but the main complaint is the underpowered engine. I think there's better choices out there. Mitsubishi has been on a long downward slide.

actually in Europe, Outlander Sport, or rather called ASX since it doesnt have anything to do with Outlander, got great reviews in all mags.

seems like a good choice to me, if you have mitsu dealer close enough, it would be great.

I recently reviewed a regular 2011 Outlander and was fairly impressed with it......more so than with some other U.S.-market Mitsubishi products. The Sport model is smaller inside and outside, comes with a smaller standard four, and doesn't have as much potential cargo room.

Not a bad choice, but check out Subarus before you sign for an Outlander. The Forester doesn't quite have the Outlander's interior's trim level or fit/finish, but has a well-proved AWD system and powertrain. If you look at an Outback, wait for the 2012 model in a couple of months...the 2010-2011models had some issues in the front suspension/steering.
