#195 of 202 Re: Better Deal? [avalanchez66] by biscuit_xls May 09, 2008 (10:38 am)
Replying to: avalanchez66 (May 08, 2008 9:18 pm) But the MMCS Nav has a large 7" screen mounted perfectly in the middle of the dash, DVD player, 30GB Music Server, easier Sirius control, touch screen simplicity, voice instructions through the speakers, rear camera capability (automated when reverse is engaged), and extended control/adjustment of numerous vehicle functions. It also eliminates the washed out display problem of the standard radio in bright sunlight.   Sure, a $200 Nav unit might have a few advantages, but you have to mount it somewhere and the screen is small. Overall the factory Nav is very well integrated and functions better than most factory Nav, especially compared to voice-activated units. I'd buy it again.

#196 of 202 2008 XLS w/dealer leather option by ddent01 Jun 27, 2008 (5:36 am)
Now had my 08 XLS for about a month and getting ready for our 2nd road trip. Averaging about 23MPG city and got 27MPG on the last trip cruising 70 w/AC on all the way.   Something I wanted to pass along to those not wanting to be forced into the bundled packages from Mitsubishi.   After driving a demo for the weekend we picked up an XLS model, with no options and had the leather seats dealer installed. This is an option most dealers will not even mention. They're Mitsubishi leather and carry the manufacturer warranty, plus it was only $950 vs the $3000 (forced combo option pkg's just to get leather). The dealer went a step up and installed the perforated seat bolsters, leather console & door arm rest.   For us, leather was the only real feature we wanted beyond the XLS basic package. There were other features we liked, but not enough to be forced into the multiple combo's Mitsubishi has.   For those on the fence between this SUV and some of the others .... you really need to drive one. It's one of the best values in the SUV market today, especially for a 3rd row option.   Note: we traded in a Montero Limited for this one when gas hit $4 gal. This rides as nice as the Montero and a lot better gas mileage !

Replying to: biscuit_xls (May 09, 2008 10:38 am) Yea, I kind of regret that I got two main packages but I did not get the buil-in Navigation. I have a handheld 4.3" Garmin GPS unit which is nice, comes with European maps, but problematic to mount, has wire coming out of it and, like you've said, I can't take advantage of music server and touch screen controls for Sirius radio and for many system settings.

#200 of 202 Cargo space by damselfly2 Mar 28, 2009 (3:00 pm)
This is going to sound silly but I thought someone may already know the answer before I attempt it.   Can I fit a cali King Mattress in the back of the SUV with the seats folded etc.?   Thanks! Replies to this message: tidester (Mar 28, 2009 7:38 pm) toomanyfumes (Mar 29, 2009 2:20 am)

Replying to: damselfly2 (Mar 28, 2009 3:00 pm) I don't know whether it will fit inside but you might consider strapping it to the roof if you don't need to drive very far.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: damselfly2 (Mar 28, 2009 3:00 pm) Problem is the Outlander is a narrow vehicle so I think widthwise it wouldn't fit. Especially a king.
