December 2014 – 105,237 Mitsubishi Lancer and Outlander units are affected by defects in the engine’s V-ribbed belt material, which can wear unevenly and potentially come off, leading to increased steering effort and a loss of electrical and drive power, posing a collision hazard.

The Outlander’s 2.2-litre diesel isn’t as powerful as the engines fitted to some rivals, but the 30-60mph time of 12.2 seconds is very respectable. We had no trouble holding 60mph on motorway inclines, although on steeper hills the automatic gearbox would sometimes hunt around for the right gear.

I love this vehicle and it feels and looks like any of the top end SUV's out there. Get the side windows tinted and you will be happy with the look and feel of the interior too. View all 43
