I bought a brand new Mitsubishi thinking I was making a smart investment backed by their so-called 10-year warranty. What a joke. Within months, the paint on the roof started peeling on a new car. When I took it in, expecting this to be covered under warranty (like any respectable company would do), I was told the damage was "caused by bird… Read more

droppings." Yes, seriously Mitsubishi is blaming bird their waste for defective paint on a brand new, warrantied vehicle. After some digging, I found that this is a known issue affecting many Mitsubishi owners. This isn’t an isolated case — it's a clear manufacturing defect. Yet they’re doing absolutely nothing about it, leaving customers stuck with the bill for their own poor-quality paint job. Their so-called 10-year warranty is completely worthless. If they won’t cover obvious defects like this on a brand new car, what exactly is the warranty for? Just a marketing gimmick to lure buyers in. This company clearly has zero accountability, and their customer service is arrogant, dismissive, and completely useless. I regret buying a Mitsubishi and wouldn’t recommend one to anyone. If you value your money and peace of mind, stay far away from this brand. Note 3 panel beaters specialists told that should never happen on new car.

Truely an underrated gem! Owned this beauty for a week, and it was truely love at first sight. After my poor old Mazda 3 had been overtaken by the needs of the family, it was time for an upgrade. I came across the Outlander at the dealership… Read more

where my partner works, and decided to see it in action. The short 10 minute test drive was enough to win my heart. As someone who's only ever owned sedans/small cars, you would think the jump to a large 7 seat SUV would be intimidating? Nope. The outlander has the convenience of being large and spacious, but the luxury of not feeling large when driving. The CVT transmission gives a nice smooth drive, without giving off 'big car' vibes. No jolting or noisy gear changes, and a swift acceleration are an anxiety settler for anyone going from such a jump in size. The 20 inch wheels may also seem scary at first, however, it gives the convenience of height, but is still a breeze for my 3 + 5 year Olds to get in and out. Inside gives the simplicity and luxury feeling of a Japanese car. Plenty to offer without being overwhelming. Although, for me, jumping nearly 13 years ahead in vehicles, the tech is still an adjustment period. And the heated seats are a good send in the cold, Melbourne weather. Decided to trial the AWD and drive settings, and took the Outlander down 3km of gravel road. The gravel drive settings promises improved stability on gravel, and delivered exactly that! I was able to travel 110km/h down a gravel road (don't try this at home ;) ) without a single swerve or 'pray to jesus' moment. The Outlander saw that gravel road, and demolished it like it was nothing! Large boot space means no more Tetris Master moments when doing groceries, or questioning if something will fit. You can be assured that there's room for everything including the kitchen sink + more.

Overall an excellent choice for anyone considering a family car. Definitely will not be a regretted choice. Look forward to many years with this beauty.

 Follow-up  · *1 year after purchase* Still loving our Outlander. Some minor teething issues (occasional problem with parking brake error - was resolved with a re-calibration, 1 incident where my screen just blacked out, but came good after 15 minutes), however the car itself is still good and solid. Still drives beautifully, and my kids still love “our new… Read more

I've bought this Outlander new. The head unit had issues at the beginning(Replaced after waiting for a few months). all seems ok except the water jet on the windscreen wiper failed. I though this is a good idea as water won't spray everywhere. But this proven it's a design fault. The left water jet on the wiper failed to spray water after 1 year… Read more

of purchase. I've got this look at 5 times by Australian Motor Mitsubishi. They claimed to have it fixed but failed a day afterward every time. They eventually believe it need to be replaced and raised a warranty claim to Mitsubishi Motor. They've informed me a week after service that Mitsubishi rejected the warranty claim and the whole windscreen wiper need to replace at my cost. I do not believe this part is a consumable like tyre or breakpad. If there's blockages happens, that's mean the design haven't done enough to prevent blockage and do we have to use filtered water for windscreen wiper? Or if debris is there during manufacturing? (This happens at the early stage of purchasing) I've been driving for 40 years and never have a car's water jet blocked. It currently spray water erratically and windscreen only partly clean. This is a concern as it affect the visibility of the driver. Extremely dangerous if urgent clean is needed while driving.

Game Changer – As an owner of a new 2023 ZM Mitsubishi Outlander Aspire PHEV, I am thrilled with my purchase and driving experience. The hybrid technology seamlessly integrates electric and gasoline power, providing an impressive electric-only range for my daily commutes. In my first 3 weeks of ownership it has travelled 500km and only used 400ml of fuel… Read more

according to the vehicle computer. I utilise my solar system to recharge the vehicle when needed, based on current fuel cost of $2.00 / litre it has cost me less than $1.00 in fuel. Mitsubishi has produced a car with a sleek exterior design and thoughtfully crafted interior making every drive enjoyable. The user-friendly infotainment system keeps me connected, while the comprehensive safety features offer peace of mind. Charging is convenient, and the fuel efficiency is commendable. Mitsubishi has truly delivered a reliable, stylish, and eco-friendly SUV with the 2023 Outlander PHEV Aspire, and I'm proud to be a part of the Mitsubishi family. I can appreciate why this vehicle won the 2023 Car of the Year (in its segment)

Does everything I need – Maybe having bought my car from an excellent dealership helps but my Outlander really has delivered what I need. It is a bit bigger than I need but it has fitted in well. I would like the rear seat windows to wind down more (ask my dog) but most things are well thought out. Only complaint is the adaptive headlights never going off high beam which means that you dazzle other drivers needlessly. I just never use it Show details

just rubbish – This is the second time my work has got one of these terrible cars, Honestly its the cheapest quality car of the worst build quality. the last one had 7 different faults in two years, mostly electrical. It was so underpowered , and noisy, and ran rough all the time. When they got a new model I thought they might have fixed the issues... but no, we… Read more

got this a few months back and already the entertainment system has died and no touch screen working. It engine is so underpowered its like a motor mower, its handles like a wet sponge and feels just as cheap and nasty as the last one. I would never ever buy one of these terrible cars, just run away and avoid at all costs !

Perfect family SUV-Disappointing Faulty head unit – Got delivered March and took a drive to Melbourne. Excellent ride and comfortable/spacious cabin. Mitsubishi definitely improved on their standard/quality. Love the tech but faulty head unit after 1 month of purchase. Been waiting for replacement over 1 month. Very quiet without any music during an 8 hours drive. I still believe it's the best valued SUV.
