Also bought one second hand (20k on the clock) - amazing car.  Powerful, luxurious and very good-looking.  Its a little thirsty, but nothing out of the ordinary for a car in this class.  The gearbox (cvt) makes this car!  Huge space, great road handling, and lots of power.

I have just bought a 2010 model with 25K on the clock and, despite the Journo's best attempts to sully the Outlander, I can catagorically report that it is a really awesome vehicle. The ride is smooth and comfortable, especially on a long drive; the response for a 2.4 litre is excellent and the drivetrain really fills one with confidence. The quality of the finishing is great and it still has that new car smell, a year down the road. There are more features than you can shake a stick at and really looks the part. At 270K second hand, it is true value for money. There are also very few on the road, adding to the feel of exclusivity and of course its a thoroughbred Mitsubishi - Built in Japan! I have no idea why one would say that the seats are narrow and uncomfortable?? I am 115Kg and I find them very comfortable and supportive. See you Angus, get over yourself! 

About to purchase 2nd.
Only 2 negative comments, placing of spare wheel and the radio which does not show the channel only the number.

The Outlander is a good vehicle to really have in your way. It must be a good thing to have this vehicle because of the things that it has in your review. A good pickup truck accessories could compensate the needs in order to really make things work out in this one.
