I want to get 2015 - 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Gt. Is it a reliable? Can the engine last for along time

What does the Consumer Reports Used Car Guide say?

I currently just have their new car guide in front of me but the 16 is just average with brakes,body hardware,paint worse than average and electronics as average. Slightly above average for minor engine problems. Personally I probably see a hundred CRV’s or Rav4’s for every Outlander in town. But i…

Also, says CR, the 2015 was the last year of a design that started in 2014. It has a well below average reliability record. The current edition started in 2016; wolyrobb above gives its data. The 2017 and 2018 have much better than average reliability. That could mean problems with the new 2016 des…

When the show was still on the air, the guys used that logic to suggest that an Accord was preferable to a Galant. Bear in mind that the reason you see more old CR-Vs and RAV4s is that Honda and Toyota sell more vehicles new. I’d be more concerned about access to parts. If there’s a Mitsubishi deale…

The weakest point in these cars are the CVT transmission. The reliability records are not very valid IMO since they don’t sell enough of these cars. The only reason to buy one would be if you get a pretty good discount on one. Otherwise I would stick to the more popular makes/models.

So then the OP trades it in or otherwise gets rid of it, just like any other vehicle you can’t get parts for. The Mrs. had to replace a 92 Escort, which was not an obscure vehicle, because it needed a fuel rail Ford no longer made.

In that call Ray also felt that the Honda and Toyota’s held up better after 100,000 miles than the Mitsubishi’s he saw in the shop.

“Reasonably close” is for the OP to decide. As long as he or his mechanic has access to a dealership-which, as you point out, he might not–he’ll be fine.
