Replying to: damselfly2 (Mar 13, 2008 5:20 pm) Extended Warranty.   What more could you want than what comes for freee (10 yrs/100k powertrain and 5 yrs /60k bumper to bumper with roadside assistance)? I gotta believe they'd be charging a lot more for fluff stuff. If I get through 5 yrs/60k bumper to bumper for free I won't complain.
#174 of 202 No Backup Camera? by jweaver1 Mar 16, 2008 (2:26 pm)
I've been looking at the 08 Outlander, but I am a bit surprised that a backup camera isn't offered, either as part of the luxury or navigation packages, or as a stand alone option. With all the other high-tech items included, it seems like an oversight not to include one. I'll wait to see if the 2009 model has one before I buy anything. In fact I'd rather give up (or make optional) the third row seats in exchange for a back up camera. I've seen on the Japanese web site that a back up camera is available for 54,000 yen, so maybe a local dealer could get one and install it, but I would feel better if it was installed at the factory.

Replying to: jweaver1 (Mar 16, 2008 2:26 pm) If you get the Nav it's easy to install your own camera for under $50. The MMCS has provisions for the backup camera so it acts just like the factory unit would. It switches on when you put it in reverse and even has the helper grid. Great mod, I'm sure a local stereo shop could do it easily if you're not up for it.   http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/m_139348/mpage_4/key_/tm.htm

Replying to: chiefstinkytoe (Mar 15, 2008 7:23 am) By the way - congrats on the SE! i should have said that. i was wrapped up in my head with the darn stupid switch! LOL can we say 'darwin award'? hee hee   i would have gone for the silver had i not just traded a silver car. i was disappointed to not have the option of the charcoal gray (weird) but the black is gorgeous too! i was originally looking at the ES until i realized the fog light kit wouldn't work on the trim (another weird thing) - and there was no sunroof option. so so glad i upgraded to the SE. it's chromey and shiny and really looks sharp! i didn't get nav - hard enough time figring out Sirius! i do want to have the dealer install heated leather seats - but that's because i have pets and the hair just gets everywhere. literally.   anyway... needless to say - I LOVE IT. ........ even love looking at it parked in the driveway. sick! hahahahahhahahahaaa Replies to this message: chiefstinkytoe (Mar 18, 2008 5:56 pm)

Replying to: jweaver1 (Mar 16, 2008 2:26 pm) You can also get dealer installed OEM camera for $500. Parking sensors are also available.

Replying to: damselfly2 (Mar 16, 2008 4:42 pm) Yes, my wife would have liked the graphite gray, but it wasnt an option with the SE. I would've liked the dark blue, but again.....   Got any pics of your new ride?
#179 of 202 Backup Camera by jweaver1 Mar 21, 2008 (6:21 pm)
Thanks for the info on the camera, everyone. The install doesn't look too difficult. Unfortunately, now my wife wants to keep her Camry one more year before we look at something new.
#180 of 202 suspension by chiefstinkytoe Mar 31, 2008 (5:30 pm)
Got to drive an SE trim 08 outie today, and it was very nice. White, no nav. I've ordered the silver, with nav, supposed to be here soon. Noticed that the suspension is a little tight.   Has anyone considered aftermarket suspension shocks, maybe adjustable ones, to give a smoother ride?

Replying to: chiefstinkytoe (Mar 31, 2008 5:30 pm) It's not uncommon for the cars at the dealership to have ridiculously high tire pressure, I've seen them as high as 44 psi. I think you'll like the suspension when you drive it for a while, mine softened up a little over the first year.   There isn't a lot out there for the Outlander. The Japan market has a bunch of coilovers, but the rear suspension is different than our US models so it would involve changing at least the rear suspension arms and sway bars to make them work.

Replying to: biscuit_xls (Mar 31, 2008 10:45 pm) Yeah my tires were about 44 psi when I picked it up. I agree, drive it awhile. The firm suspension is a good thing for handling, or rough roads.
