Hahaha! You should rate your vehicles on reliability not just comfort and suspension and apple car play compatibility lol.. Overall recalls, cost of ownership!

This review will give Scotty Kilmer a heart attack !

It seems these guys reviews are based on their feelings, rather that specs and actual reviews.

I have had for 2 years the new mitsubishi eclipse cross 1.5l 163hp manual 6 speed and I love it. Do not feel under power and no problems until now.
Great style. The best.

First off the RAV4 just came out in 2019 and was extensively redesigned from the ground up. Also it’s in its 5th generation and your hp info was wrong it’s 203 hp and it does have Apple CarPlay and Android auto and WiFi connect. Lastly it has an 8 speed automatic with several drive modes and terrain selections multiple trims and offerings to appeal to everyone and gas and hybrid variants as well it’s literally the top car in the segment and outsells the rest of its rivals for almost 4 years consecutively

You guys are dead wrong re: Mitsubishi. I’ve owned 4 since 2014. Over 200, 000+ reliable carefree miles averaging 26 city/32 hwy mpg. Awesome value. Ok, so not too fancy, but dealers wheel and deal, so save the $5k to $10k and invest in your family vacation or whatever. Awesome warranty, although I never needed it!

The outlander is the only 7 seater small SUV you can get on a 6 cylinder, with active torque vectoring. And that drivetrain is proven reliable.

We love our 2 new 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL’s with the Touring Package and S-AWC we purchased new in October 2019. They have been great plus we got over $6, 000.00 off the MSRP of each one and paid around $26, 000.00 for my Octane Blue one and around $27, 000.00 for our Red Diamond one (Red Diamond $595.00 and a few more accessories made it like $1, 000.00 more). We could not come close to price from the competition nor could they match the features for the price such as: dual pano roof, 710 watt 9 speaker rockford fosgate audio system, heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel, heads up display, power folding mirrors, leather, sliding and reclining rear seat, Mitsubishi connect with sos, crash notification, remote start, climate setting and more, forward collision warning with high speed and city braking and pedestrian detection, radar cruise control, blind spot warning with lane change assist, rear cross traffic alert, auto high beams, adjustable led headlights and led tail lights, and so much more.

Plus we have owned 5 Mitsubishis now and all have been very reliable more trouble free than any other brand we have had in the past (we always purchase new) and several friends who own them have had the same reliability, great. Our one friend has a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer with the2.4L 4 cylinder and CVT and I know it now has well over 150, 000 miles. All in how a person takes care of a vehicle and changing oil and transmission fluid.

This is a smaller compact alternative that caters more to someone who does not need a ton of cargo room but wants something with a unique look, tons of features, comfortable roomy interior, great warranty and reliability.

We love ours. Every car has highs and lows.

The highs for me would be: all the cool features, the looks, nice wheels, led front and rear lights and the way they look, front seat comfort, rear seat comfort and roominess with a cool rear glass roof panel with their own rear power shade, quietness, interior quality and soft materials, great audio system once you customize the tons of settings to your liking.

The lows for me would be: fuel economy could def be better in town. I do alot of shorter trips in town and seems to average only like 21 mpg lower than the 25 mpg city rating. Now on the highway when I take our regular 1 hr out of town trips each way I average around 27-29 mpg which is higher than the 26 mpg highway rating thats its rated at. One other low would be the ride but not really lol. On the highway it drives and rides so smooth and so quiet. Its got a nice soft cushy ride and in town is good too. Is where it does a little worse is on pot holes I think it could be smoother with less impact noise and jittering. So id say 70% of the time it rides great but on really rough roads you hear it more so than you feel it so its more the sound of impacts. They are my only 2 negatives.

This is a great compact suv and I always say dont listen to reviews or even myself go drive a car or suv or truck for yourself and see if you like it and if it fits your needs. Thats why there are so many brands, models and choices because everyone likes different things and has their own style. The Eclipse Cross was what I wanted and fit my needs and wants better than the CrossTrek, Rav-4 or Rogue. I am very happy with our choice and love ours more everyday!

Me who has a CD collection that I play in my car regularly: 👁👄👁

I don’t think anyone buys a small suv for how well it performs, just a smooth ride, practicality, good fuel economy, and long term dependability

[DONVITO]

Just fyi, the CR-V was not re-designed last year. It was last re-designed in 2017 and refreshed for 2020.

[TJLRekkid]

'Subaru offers a rear view camera'. This was the most useless video I've watched comparing SUVs. This is how you compare models? Am I missing something here?

[dj]

Just a different opinion, but I had a 2017 Outlander GT and regret trading it off 2.5 years later. It was a smooth comfortable ride, got good mileage (20, 30), a great warranty that I never needed, an all wheel drive system that I practically couldn't get it to go sideways on a snowy surface. It had plenty of cargo space and could tow 3500 lbs.

You know that is US channel when the "Small SUV" are missing the Nissan Juke or Mazda CX-30 and everything "Small" is Mid-sized or Big in Europe.

[RyanLye]

The 2020 Subaru Forester is one of the best cars ( of any category, at any price) on the market.

[paulhignett]

Wow these are small SUVs? In the Uk they wouldn’t fit in a parking space

[ivangonzalezdelgadillo]

I would've added the VW Tiguan to the list. Is one of the most spacious in the segment, and it also comes with cylinder deactivation, combined with the 1.4 tsi engine is one of the most efficient SUVs on the market!

[stephanburgess]

I'd choose a Mitsubishi over many others any day. Reliable, economical, great value and better looking. Some of the worst would be Jeep, Kia, and anything American.

[raylang]

I listen to my CDs every time I drive my car.

[WelchC]

I love my Eclipse Cross great value for the money and dependable if you take care of it. Don't go 20k miles between oil changes people.
