I stand corrected. It makes much more sense now.
Lets talk about new vehicles

Slip the kid a $20. Tell the kid to drive it in back for a while and don’t touch anything - you can both call it good.Mitsubishi dealer free maintenance coming up. I did all the maintenance so far but if I don't take it this .
month I lose my 3 yr maintenance.
Those are the rules...all it is is oil changes, cabin filter, and rotations but not wanting to go

Yeah I know....
I'd like to take a look when the new 2026 Outlander comes to my local dealer.
New 1.5T mouse motor with mild hybrid. Not sure that's the way to go but I'd like to take one for a spin especially since they are talking near 40 mpgs as I always blow the EPA figures out of the water.
It may be a good match for the Atlas??? This is not the Sport but the Outlander and for me no 20" wheels
Mitsubishi claims it gets off the line quicker with more torque than the Nissan engine.

Is it a new 1.5T, or the one that has been around for a while?

I was wondering the same.
Not sure but the under the hood pics are certainly totally different in this application from other 1.5 t installs i have seen
Since when has anyone's 1.5L Turbo engine ever been any good?
Honda is really good. Yes I know, fuel.
Older Honda 1.5L without the turbo = good.
Newer Honda 1.5L with turbo = bad
At least that's my understanding.
Not mine. Powerful engine. 35 MPG. Honda 1.5L with turbo = great
I'm sure it's powerful, but the internet suggests that it's unreliable, just like literally every other manufacturer's turbo 1.5L engine.
That's pure hearsay. Name two-three failure modes.
Here's Why the Honda L15 Turbo Engine is a FAILURE
on YouTube by speedkar99There are plenty of other videos about this engine as well. Honda also put cooling slits in the block like Ford and Stellantis did to make their head gaskets less reliable. I think Honda fixed that for 2022, where as Ford did by 2019. So it yours is 2022 or newer it might be OK, or at least not have head gasket issues.
Plus Honda likes to use CVT's in a lot if it's vehicles, and that really doesn't belong in an Accord or a CR-V (and still bad in a Civic, but obviously less bad).
I like the newer Civic Hatchback, but wonder how bad the CVT is.
Sure.
Failure rates very low/nonexistent
We have a 2017.
The Honda CVT is very reliable. Not really relevant to the discussion anyway
You seem to be reaching. This generation of CR-V is quite reliable overall

The GR Corolla’s 1.6L turbo engine is pretty good (don’t believe the stories of blown engines, there really haven’t been that many, it’s been way overblown in the media)

There are Civics on YT with original turbo and engine with 800k miles. The transmission was a manual.
I have had several cvt Hondas without issues...
This guy is at 800k miles and the video below was when he was well over 600k

I'd argue many cvts outlast conventional transmissions like GMs...I speak from experience
Most of ours died in the 70k range in our fleet

They will be great for me because after break in they are gone.
We are headed for 130K miles, changed to Amsoil CVT way back, not changing again.
Which transmission died at 70K. So I can add it to my ongoing database?
