Replying to: johnny98 (Feb 14, 2007 9:58 am) Thanks for the input everyone. My dealer has located a fully loaded deep blue metallic XLS, and I'm going to put the deposit on it today.

Replying to: johnny98 (Feb 14, 2007 9:58 am) When I talked to the Mazda dealer about space/cargo area, V6 and 3 rd row seat issues on CX-7, they were quick to point out that CX-9 is the way to go if all those things are higher in wishlist, but obviously at a higher price point. The good thing that happened having the Outlander and the CX-7 in the market, was all of a sudden there were more fun choices available rather then settling for a Toyota/Honda.

Replying to: mucool (Feb 14, 2007 11:17 am) I thought about the CX-9 too, but the big problem there is it won't fit in my garage! At least, not next to my wife's Odyssey...   You're right about the Outlander and CX-7 bringing some much needed competition to Honda and Toyota. While they're both great cars, I'd rather break away from the herd a little.

Replying to: dodo2 (Nov 17, 2006 9:56 pm) As an owner of an ES (the cheapie model) I have to say that I consider the interior no nonsense with a sporty "new york" look to the interior. I would not consider an interior premium when it includes cheap plastic sun visors. For me though, it works and it works better at 19K than at 26K or more. I didn't see any upgrades in the xls to those bits that made it feel "cheap" and had I spent a lot more, I would probably be a bit disappointed.

Replying to: bearishly4u (Feb 18, 2007 6:46 am) Outlander's interior is not premium by any means, but it looks good and with some exceptions, is decent. The few short comings in fit and finish are compensated by the price and feature set. I will still buy it.

Replying to: dodo2 (Feb 18, 2007 9:02 am) I agree with dodo2. I finally got my Outlander yesterday, a graphite gray XLS with S&S, Luxury, and NAV. I thought about going a little more upscale (Acura, BMW, etc.), but for the price and with all the features a fully loaded Outlander meets all my needs. I'm not concerned about the somewhat basic interior, because I (and my kids) tend to beat up my cars anyway.   Speaking of which, are the all-season mats available yet? I forgot to ask at the dealership. Replies to this message: bearishly4u (Mar 02, 2007 11:42 am) johnny98 (Mar 26, 2007 4:13 pm)

Replying to: craigm3 (Feb 28, 2007 7:19 am) I bought some aftermarket ones that trim down to fit...not bad but the rubber smells! It killed my "new car smell" so be forewarned. Replies to this message: johnny98 (Mar 26, 2007 4:13 pm)
#28 of 90 Autobytel.com 2007 Outlander review by johnny98 Mar 26, 2007 (4:13 pm)
Replying to: bearishly4u (Mar 02, 2007 11:42 am) There's a detailed 2007 Outlander review on autobytel.com: http://www.autobytel.com/content/shared/articles/templates/index.cfm/article_id_- int/2127 The main review is fairly good, but the "second opinion" columns really dump on the transmission and the interior quality. Any comments?
#29 of 90 Interior - various questions by spaceman210 Mar 26, 2007 (4:58 pm)
Does anyone know why Mitsu perforated the leather in the side bolsters, but not in the bottom & back where it would provide extra breathability? The leather seats seemed very hard to me - do the cushions conform/soften any after break-in?   Has anyone concerned about cheap interior appearance looked into aftermarket dash kits? On my '97 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC, a $300 wood kit made a huge improvement and has held up perfectly for eight years, no fade or peel.   I see there are floor mat price concerns - anyone tried mats/liners from the custom places advertised in the back of car magazines?   Has anyone concerned about road noise tried to pop off door or kick panels to install soundproofing such as Dynamat? Would like to see tips if so.   Is it possible to carry extended cargo such as lumber by leaving half of the clamshell door open and latching or tying the other half?   Thanks

I have the Outie for 1 week now and I love it more and more. I thought I have the mirror rattle problem but I don't. The noise actually came from the paper that the dealer put on the floor to protect the new floor mat. The wind noise happen on the first day only. It was very windy day and I drove over 60 MPH on the highway. Also, I don't have the front end knocking sound that like the early production. The stereo is working perfectly. The only bad part was that I ordered the CUV on Dec. 10th and I just picked it up last week. It's worth it. I also see some changes from the Mitsubishi. It has more colors. I saw an ES model with rear privacy glass at the showroom when I picked up my CUV. I was told by the salesman that my XLS came with heated mirror but I can't confirm it because it's been over 40 since I picked it up. I was also told that you now can order the entertainment package with the Navi for the XLS. It wasn't available before. I ordered the cargo cover from the ebay for $113 + shipping. The next improvement I would love to see is the rear camera. So far, my friends and family love this CUV a lot.
