I live 100 miles from phoenix and that’s where the closest dealer would be. Too much hassle if it would need any warranty work.
Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

My 97 Chev Venture van with the 3.4L made it to 180k, after head replacements at 150k. Heads cracked. Mostly easy highway miles. Started using coolant again, disclosed it to the buyer and moved on. Where's that barrel of fish?
subies are TIN CANS, tested a 2001 WRX in 2001 then drove and bought a new 2001 1.8T for 5 G less its a solidly built wolfsburg + traded it with 200 thou on it fot the audi TT 225 roadster i STILL own!! looked ar EVOs but $$$, loved the detuned hatch thry had BUT no manual = NO sale!!
at the right price, most people will think twice about most things.
Absolutely. They're very reliable and that's mostly because they're mechanically old and the drivetrains just keep getting made year after year. The interior is very well put together with no squeaks or rattles after 101k and 9 years or anything loose sounding unlike my 2021 escalade which had some squeaks and rattles since new.
Have a 2016 outlander sport with 101k and that 2.4 and jatco cvt are perfect but I use euro 30/40 and I did multiple spill and fills since it's the easiest transmission I've ever serviced. Cvt's aren't bad if you don't drive it like you stole it and you do spill and fills which is very cheap, fast, and easy on this thing. But from what I hear the some new mitsubishis use nissan engines and aren't the very old and reliable Mitsubishi engines.
But I'd still give those nissan engines a shot just use euro 30/40 like I do and change it frequently anyway since oil is cheap at the end of the day. I'd buy another just like it, maybe with the weaker 2.0 instead.

The new ones yeah and I think it's the new outlander that has nissan dna but not the outlander sport. That one is spared and is shockingly reliable.

What is the latest on Mitsubishi's financial outlook in the US? I know the dealer network in my area has changed owners and locations a bunch of times over the past 10-15yrs. I just looked at their website and I show about 5-6 dealers within 100 miles of my home. I'd still worry about dealer network, parts and service availability. I am a little biased on this though.. I had an experience way back, where I bought a brand new 2002 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4x4. Two years later, Isuzu automotive pulled out of the US. Dealer service still existed. They just didn't have an Isuzu sign up anymore. Regardless of all that, if I found a Mitsubishi product I liked, for a price I really liked, I'd see about insurance cost first, then go for it if everything lines up.
I’m under 100 miles. I'm not sure if Mitsubishi has towing covered under their warranty/service plan but there are at least three dealers within the AAA towing range. For non-breakdown warranty work it just gives me a good excuse to go have a nice meal and visit a real grocery store.
I found another dealer across the river that has a 2025 bare bones model listed at $22,100. I’m definitely going to go drive one on Monday.
Can't remember them ever needing warranty work when I was at the dealer. Unlike Hyundai Kia.
No. The brand reminds me of Pearl harbor.
I have a 2023 Outlander Sport with the 2.0. The days are long gone since I drove 400+HP hot rods, yet I've never had a situation in my Sport where I wanted more power.
I think a 2.0 is probably all the power I need. I drive like an old lady anyway.
Worst car I ever had was a Mitsubishi. I'm sure they have improved. I'm not interested in another.
Based on my experience owning a Plymouth Colt 2 dr. Hatchback. I'd buy another Mitsubishi for the right price if the test drive and other factors lined up. I like that the info screen is not too big and incorporated in the dash and not a huge tablet stuck on top of the dash and distracting your attention. $22k-24k seems very reasonable if you're really able to buy for such a price.
The ones I’m looking at have the same wheels. I think they look pretty sharp.
