2006 Mitsubishi Outlander Touring W/nav.sys

With its aggressive-looking wide stance, the Outlander gives every appearance of a no-nonsense all-wheel drive SUV, and that is exactly what it is. Competent in every function, this Outlander is ready to go to work for you running errands in all-weather safety or pushing away from the road in the rugged countryside. This car is trim and aerodynamic on the outside, designed for a quiet and efficient ride. At the heart of your Outlander is a 2.4L I-4 producing 160 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is mated to it for smooth shifts and this combo teams up for slightly improved fuel economy, and is now estimated at 21/25 mpg range. It’s competitive in its class; enough punch on the freeway and sufficient hill-busting torque. The ride is smooth on smooth roads and solid at high speeds and tames crosswinds as good as any car. This Outlander comes in the beautiful LS trim and comes with everything you want, like full power accessories, cruise control, a split-folding rear seat, a CD player and a full size spare. The LS adds a few upscale touches, like keyless entry and alloy wheels. Interior and cargo room as the Outlander’s best feature. There are numerous pockets and compartments for additional storage. The Outlander’s tall cabin offers ample headroom for both front and rear riders. You’re in the market for a smaller SUV or you wouldn’t be reading this. Enjoy the confidence of all-wheel drive and go-anywhere capability along with a great cabin and features, all wrapped up in assertive styling. But there is a drawback: you’ll be the person everyone calls when the ice storm hits to get them to work, the store and school. Can you handle it?
