Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?
No
Have you had to make any warranty claims?
No
Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?
Yes
A 1500km check-up, which basically checked oil, coolant, tyre pressures, etc.
Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?
Yes
It's still early days, but reasonably happy overall. Love the tech in this vehicle, the physical size and the look – the handling is not great, although it’s the upgraded new model with Australian-engineered steering and suspension improvements.
However, it's still not good and certainly not as good as our 2022 Subaru Outback Touring.
Gary’s experience with the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed
Running costs are okay, and power could be improved but it's adequate. Finishes are good, both for the interior and exterior.
Handling is not great over potholes and uneven road surfaces. It can be very unsteady. Disappointing really.
Had a Subaru as mentioned and it was much better on the road at speed. However, the tech is good on the Outlander and not too intrusive. Reasonably happy overall, but would not buy again.
