Mitsubishi Outlander 07

I wasn’t in the market for an SUV until I saw one of these; they look pretty damn good, 40MPG and all the bells and whistles at a good price.

Any comments or experiences of these? and yes it will be off road now and again and will be pulling a trailer
Driving an s60 at the minute and don’t want to loose to much of the comforts I got used to just want a diesel and the option of a 7 seater the odd time.

very nice motor all right. was looking at one myself but was told by mitz dealer that they aren't available as a commercial so i'll have to "make do" with an 07 pajero

Also to be known as the Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007. Apart from badges and faces, no differences between the vehicles - but I bet the mitus holds its value better.

Have a couple on the road, but no feedback from drivers yet - I like the look of it.

Diesel engines are provided by PSA, afaik. Not that that is a bad thing.

I was thinking of getting a used or demo one if at all possible with the 2.0 VW engine. mind you the 2.2 have a few more horses

2.2HDI only on Citroen and Pug ones - the Mitsubishi uses a VAG one which is said to be not as good.

the Mits comes with the 2.0 VW engine. The Citreon and Peugeot badged versions have the 2.2 PSA engines.

I like the look of it too, except for the C-Pillar - it is slanted forwards like the Rav4, just don't like for some reason.

IMO the Citreon and Peugeot versions of this car look like the old Hyundai SantaFe - a little soft and overweight...

The nose of the 4007 is terrible.

I have only seen pics but I really like it. The C Crosser looks great too.

Pity they are the two that will depreciate the fastest here in Ireland too, being non Jap and 2.2's.

Am I right in saying they have an onboard Hard Drive so you can transfer your songs onto it like and iPod ?

God, it's hard enough to keep a PC and IPod in sync without adding a third cog to the machine...
