Bit harsh on the Outlander, but we are all entitled to our own opinions and he shared his. I just purchased a new 22 Outlander Black Edition for my wife and we love it. So much that I got one as well, a 22 SEL. The amount of technology in these vehicles for the price point is fantastic! Very happy with our purchases.

I bought the Outlander and it's amazing. I've owned Toyota, Ford and Hyundai and I've test driven the competition. This 2022 Outlander shames them all for many reasons.

Also, it's a family vehicle. No need for V8-like power.

I think this guy is a bit harsh on the Outlander. I cross shopped it against the CX-5 and a few others mentioned in the video. The Outlander is the one I ended up going with. To me at least, the ride is nowhere near as rough as he makes it out to be and the ride was so much better than the other cars I tested. It also has amazing high beams with it’s active shadowing, which I don’t believe any of the others do. It’s my first ever brand new car and I cannot wait for my Outlander Exceed Tourer to arrive. There’s a reason these have such long wait times. Have to concede the gearbox and engine aren’t as good as it’s rivals though.

This guy just criticized the Outlander a lot, we own a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and we are very happy with it 😁😊 ♦️ ♦️ ♦️

Grouping the Outlander in this segment is a bit unfair as it is larger than all of its competitors. The only thing I dislike about my 2022 Outlander is the underpowered engine. Given it’s size, it should have a more powerful engine…maybe even a V6. But despite its size, fuel economy is still amazing, so there’s still a perk to the 2.5 inline-4

[cheeaaaaboy]

Outlander definitely not as bad as he reckons, it’s a great car with lots of cool features. I just purchased one and I love it

[AdamBoltGoldCoast]

I agree about Subaru being the easiest to drive. I've gone for the Outback over the Forester as it still has the best vision out of any SUV's that I have driven, it’s head/leg room is top class.
The Outback has more modern tech compared to the Forester, it’s also longer which gives more boot space, and most of all, it has slightly bigger seats which give me more comfort for the long trips I do.
But yeah, anyone looking for a mid sized SUV I'd recommend looking at the Subaru's for sure.

This guy has something against Mitsubishi! I watched the video and then went in person to check the car out and it definitely doesn’t rattle and it drives very smoothly. I ended up getting the outlander vs all the others

[noediaz]

The Mitsubishi Outlander has been completely updated, it is improved from the 4 cars that you have on that list, only the Subaru and the Mitsubishi would buy 🎉🎉🥳🥳

[livingrickroll]

I agree that the forester is is one of the best, but the outlander was treated harshly. The ride is quite smooth actually and it does feel big but not in a bad way, the inside is quite roomy but not overly massive. The engine was I’d say probably enough for it and just barely what it needed maybe a little more but overall it’s nice. I feel that a little bias was involved and maybe some subjectivity as I didn’t feel that it was all to fair.

[jeffreyraines]

I own an Outlander and this guy is a crybaby about this car. The seats in mine are great and comfy on long trips. The steering on mine is spot on. I have NO rattles in mine. The suspension on mine is smooth confident when going around bends at any speed. Who is paying this dude? I tried the Hyundai. Not impressed at all. Plastic.

[tT-hwyu]

Got my 2022 Outlander in May of 2021, loved it since day 1.

[caribgenius]

The Outlander's back seat could slide back further. He had it all the way forward.

[eddielia]

I drove all of theses vehicles plus a few more. Price was not that much of an issue, however, I found the Forester was the best drive and value for money, so I bought one in Premium trim. Absolutely love it.

[aerienix]

Agreed on the Forester. Insane value as is, especially compared to everything else on the market currently. If I had extra coin to spare, however, I’d definitely go for a Diesel Sportage, maybe in GT-Line trim for all the bells and whistles.

[presleyjeremiahsmith]

Outlander is way better than any of these no matter what you say... Not to mention.... The best looking one!

[sazpassionvlog]

For me outlander is the best among the four..this guy is biased towards the Outlander and has some personal grudge against it..he is a biased reviewer and don’t believe anything he says..drive of the Outlander is super comfy and amazing..

[nothinghere]

I kinda don’t believe the Outlander is that sh t, bad in almost every category isn’t gonna be justified with subjective adjectives like “feels bad” or “not good”.

[najishmait]

I prefer the Outlander.
I already have Outlander 2016
And I hope I can get the Outlander 2023

Subaru Forester has kept the same main features since its inception. I had a 2006 Forester and loved it so much. It was light, had the best visibility of any vehicle, has one of the best all-wheel-drive systems, has the highest ground clearance of any SUV and is super easy to drive. I taught both my teenagers how to drive in my Forester and that convinced me of how great they are. I finally sold it when it got to 200, 000 km, they are pricey when new, but second hand they are a bargain and a really reliable car.
