看看老外如何评价XOLD
来源:*****/direct/view/
I've owned by '07 Outlander XLS for over a week now. Ever since I started reading about it almost a year ago here on Edmunds, I was intrigued and decided to hold off on my new car purchase until the '07 Outlander became available.
I'm glad I waited. Mitsubishi did a good job with the redesign. The V6 delivers plenty of punch. Mileage could be better but is reasonable. Interior is quiet. The build quality is fantastic, 100% Japanese parts content and built in Japan. Lots of storage and cupholders.
Base stereo with 6 CD changer is decent. Bonus that it plays MP3s. I love the voice activated bluetooth. It works seamlessly with my Motorola Razr phone. Just say 'Call", "Phonebook", "Dial" etc to make a phone call and the unit responds even on noisy road surfaces.
3rd row seat though only for small kids, is nice to have and stows into the floor when not in use. Easy to setup and stow. I like the fact that the headrests fold and tuck into the seats during storage. No need to yank the headrests out and store them separately such as those in the Honda Pilot.
The two piece tail gate is wonderful, no heavy single door to lift or even worse, that opens to the side. I love the keyless locks. Just walk up to the car and it automatically unlocks. No key needed for the ignition, just twist the knob. If the battery on the remote dies, you can remove key that's integrated into the remote, pop the knob off the ignition and insert the key to start the car.
What other car in this price class let's you switch from FWD to AWD to 4WD? I think only the Outlander offers this feature and not the RAV4, Santa Fe or CR-V. I use this regularly, keeping it in FWD and saving gas when the road is dry and switching to AWD when it rains.
The interior could be better, bit too much hard plastic surfaces. Surprised there is no lighted vanity mirror. Power drivers seat should be standard in the XLS trim. Don't care for the black interior in my car, it shows dust too easily.
I've read someone complain that the Outlander bobs and weaves during acceleration and braking. I don't feel that. During hard acceleration, I feel myself pushed back into the seat, not a bobbing sensation. This is an awesome vehicle and I don't think the competition holds a candle to this vehicle. Go get one.
I picked up my new XLS earlier in the week. I tested the Outlander against the CR-V (not enough power / didn't like the drive), RAV4 (I4 underpowered, V6 - too much power with a sensitive throttle, uncomfortable 2nd row seat, don't like the rear door), and Hyundai Santa Fe (nice drive, nice interior - reminded me of my wife's Acura MDX, decent power...but did NOT handle nearly as well as the Outlander). First full tank of gas gave me just under 22 mpg with about 70% local, 30% highway driving. Instant MPG read about 26 MPG when I was on the highway. The car drives GREAT.
Gripes -
Visors feel VERY cheap, are not lighted, and do not extend the lenth of the window.
Side mirrors should be heated on a car with heated leather seats.
Automatic rear mirror is not available (again, should at least be an option on a $30k car).
Nav system - Display of street names on background could be clearer (and is much clearer on our MDX). POI database is really small. System does not speak the name of streets you need to turn on.
Stuff I Love -
Car handles great. Acceleration is very good.
Leather seats are very comfortable.
Bluetooth integration works very well and includes an on-screen caller ID display.
Dial to switch from 2WD to 4WD to 4WD lock works great - tested this weekend driving on a loose gravel roadway.
HID headlights - great.
FAST Key - If you get this feature, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
NAV system - hard drive based system is super quick at recalculating routes.
Hard drive MP3 player - works nicely at burning / replaying CDs. I still need to test the "delete" function and find out if there's a way to tell it to *not* copy every CD that is put in the drive.
Fold out hatch - Great place to change out of your muddy hiking boots. The clamshell shaped trunk will definitely make loading / unloading easier and using it as a seat is a great bonus
