For us as a family it's the best bang for the buck. Compare them thoroughly and choose whichever model suits you and your family.

Anyways, I am driving it now and so happy with my pick, oh and did I mentioned the sound system? It is insane!! I have not seen anything like this before it is better than my home theatre at home, the features are great, it has a great space for the passengers in the back and very comfortable, so glad to pick this over RAV4, RAV4 looks like a toy compare to this. So I got a better car, better features, better look, better Warranty and much better finance option than RAV4. Thanks guys for all the input, it did really helped me for this pick. cheers...

Hi all, My wife and I are looking for something a bit bigger than our current Mazda 3, now that we have an addition to the family. I'm trying to decide between the base 4 cylinder RAV 4 and a base 4 cyl Mitsu Outlander, probably 2WD for both. I'm in Canada, and pricing on the base models is relatively close, but the Mitsubishi has better financing options, warranty, etc. (we also considered a Mazda 5 but it felt a bit sluggish compared to the test drive of the 4 cyl RAV 4, and no stability control was the deal breaker--otherwise great car) We'll be testing the Outlander later this week. I already know from the test drive of the RAV that the base 4 cylinder will be just fine for our needs. I'm unsure about the Mitsu though. Most of the reviews out there comparing the RAV and Outlander are all about the V6 models. Here's what I've gleaned so far... I don't care about the 3rd row seating, which isn't an option on the base of either 4 cyl model anyway. base RAV 4 (4 cyl) + relatively powerful for a 4 cyl engine (179hp) + great fuel economy for a compact SUV + 2nd row seats fold flat + lots of Toyota dealers in our city, and the RAV is built here in Canada (service concerns?) + assumed Toyota high resale value + seemed relatively quiet during test drive - rear gate swings to the curb is a big turnoff - no other frills but that's base Toyota for you - financing options not nearly as good as Mitsu base Outlander (4 cyl) + better pricing / financing options + very slick rear liftgate--impressive two piece clamshell design + heated seats standard, even on base (not offered on base RAV) + better warranty + road side assistance + includes tonneau cover and rear privacy glass (not offered on base RAV) - engine not quite as powerful or fuel-efficient as the RAV's 4-cyl - far fewer Mitsu dealers in area...wonder about future of Mitsu in general - resale value compared to Toyota? - concerns about noise and ability of the 4-cyl's CVT? Thoughts? I'll have a better idea once I actually test drive the Outlander, of course. There must be others out there that were just looking at the 4 cyl base models of these two. Thanks! |
