          @rodripa: I went v6 after my Tiida over heated on a trip up to the blue mountains during a hot summers day. I think with smaller engines, it needs to work harder and it can lead to this. Correct me if I am wrong. Had 4 passengers going up steep hill on 42 degree day.

          @zealmax:

          4 Passengers up a steep hill on a 42 degree day equals a fully laden, tiny 4 cylinder at maximum load. I'm not sure what you were expecting, the tiida is Nissan's most basic 4 door passenger vehicle. It's made for pottering around town not mountain treks in 40+ degree weather. That is enough to kill a lot of budget passenger cars.

          Then the car has (or had) a fault. I live in the Blue Mountains and they're not a challenge to any car in reality unless you have a cooling system issue.

          Companies spend thousands of hours testing in much harsher climates e.g. Death Valley, Phoenix AZ, for many things incl overheating etc. Sorry to say that the BM barely scrapes the surface of hard climbs.

          @zealmax:
          I am pretty sure that it happened due to some other reasons with the cooling system as freddofrog42 says. It might be under powered and yes you might even be trying to lean forward while driving for it to go faster, but that will not cause overheating issues irrespective of the temperature.

          oops…just saw ur reply Zealmax

        • zealmax on 13/09/2016 - 13:53

          @pauper: The engine had a blown head gasket, replaced the engine and genuine water pump. I dunno what happened, but the high temperature warning came on. Called the mechanic and he said he had a number of calls for over heating that day. It was crazy hot that day. I think the strain on the engine pushed it over. Let the car cool down and drove back home and to the mechanic without issues. After that I am wary of going to the mountains with the car on a hot day.

      I had one of these as a company car. Pretty decent workhorse but it was definitely underpowered in normal mode. I ended up driving in 'sports' mode most of the time for better gear ratio. Overall can't complain as you don't buy these things to win races but since then I have a similar size RAV4 and it seems better balanced. I quite likes the boot space of the outlander though as it was great for moving house :)

          @fritzsticker: "When lights go green -> Turn off your air con and then after few seconds turn on".
          It will help, but do you want to do it every few hundred metres in city or on a motorway in congestion? Driving should not be miserable doing that. Choose a correct engine rather than doing that thing later.
          Would rather spend a little more once in a better machine. Toyota Rav4 2.4 is CVT and has better response no matter how light in weight this one is. I think 2.4l shd be bare minimum you want to try unless it is a diesel engine.

          I sometimes think 2.4l engine in RAV4 has a bit less power sometimes, so won't recommend to go backwards else next SUV will be 1.6l Petrol super duper CXT engine and you will be told it will be fine on our congested roads.

    • bchliu on 13/09/2016 - 10:51

      I test drove it about a year ago and compared it to the smaller ASX with the same engine (ASX was nicer to drive). I do not recommend the 2L as you'll have to work it very hard in order to push it around. It is surprisingly light in weight considering the size but you can feel how empty it is inside as far as facilities and comfort is concerned. The CVT feels pretty unintelligent as well trying to figure out which "gear" is optimal even though you've obviously wanted to push it with the accelerator.

      Ended up taking neither and went with the base model of the Twin charged VW Tiguan for a couple of grand more (during the sale). It's a Smaller car (comparable to the ASX) but its got way more creature comforts than the base Outlander which feels super plasticy and empty.

      What is it about the modern Mitsubishi's these days with these stupidly small engines in their cars that really needs to work out? Their Mirage drives like a four wheeled motorcycle, the Lancer feels underpowered compared to the equivalent classes and the Outlander just feels like trying to squeeze a Lancer Engine in a mid-sized 4WD. Its pretty horrible situation.

      I still remember driving a VW Golf in inner city Melbourne, the lurching and jumping drove me crazy.

        I guess it depends how you drive your car. CVT's just feel unnatural & to me personally, feels like it 'sucks the fun' out of the car. The Lexus NX200T that I recently drove felt very underpowered due to it's transmission It's meant to be 175kW and 350nm; but a VW tiguan with 125kw and 280nm of torque felt MUCH faster.

        I personally love DCT's. I live in an area where I very rarely have to spend time driving below 20km/hr.

        The ZF 8 Speed Auto I think is the best of both worlds.

    I have the previous generation with 2.4l CVT which is surprisingly good. Only feels underpowered when carrying a car load of heavy ppl. (Speaking from a Sunday driver point of view, not from a sport driver point of view) I mostly drive with 2 ppl in the car (includes me) feels like it has enough power. Fuel Economy is great for medium+ trips I get +200km extra compared to be V6 sports car but for short trips only I actually get -80km less than my sports car. Sports car averages 400Km per tank.

    this was the same price during the EOFY sales, pretty sure the normal price is $29,990 for the CVT 2L version.

    If this is such a good deal SURELY I can buy 8 and resell when the deal is over right? right? Naaaaa no deal.

    I picked up an Outlander PHEV 6 moths ago for $34k OTR. Now that's a bargain….

    • SupeNintendoChalmers on 13/09/2016 - 12:19

      awesome price, their current deal is 40K DA

    • fritzsticker on 13/09/2016 - 14:59

      Nice

    • Qbagger on 13/09/2016 - 15:40

      Wow good price. How have you found the PHEV?

      • reecho on 13/09/2016 - 15:42

        In one word brilliant.

        almost 6000kms so far on almost 2 x tanks of fuel or around 1.2L/100km

        • Qbagger on 13/09/2016 - 15:47

          Phenomenal economy! Can you elaborate on your experience with the drivetrain?

        • reecho on 13/09/2016 - 16:02

          @Qbagger:

          I generally do less than 50kms a day. So silky smooth electric drive most of the time. You learn to drive it without kicking in the petrol assist…

      PHEV is such an underrated car
      I feel so sorry for Mitsubish everytime I pass one of those

      • Matt P on 13/09/2016 - 21:33

        Too expensive though.

        I did a total life cost analysis for a friend a few years ago vs the top of the line diesel outlander. Even if the electricity charging the PHEV was free, it was still cheaper to buy the diesel

        • reecho on 15/09/2016 - 12:46

          At full retail….sure.

          But when you get 20k off retail…it starts to make perfect sense..

        • Matt P on 15/09/2016 - 20:08

          @reecho: true, but the diesels get discounted too. Our comparison wasnt being done at full retail, but not 20k off either

    I have a 2009 ZH outlander 2.4l 4x4. I have to say that its had alot of recalls. but none of them really serious. Ones like "Serpentine belt too stiff, possible pulley damage could occur". Got a free S belt and mine was at 130,000 kms so I was due for a new belt anyway. It is holding up quite well and we have never had a problem with it. I think these mitsubishi's are good if you are planning on holding onto htem and running into the ground. Probably not good for someone who replaces their car every 6 years or so, as as soon as the warranty runs out, the price plummets.

    They are starting to earn themselves the bad name they had in past. Thats all.

  • Watto36 on 13/09/2016 - 11:52

    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing on Carpoint, but aren't 2016 demo models of these with like 5kms being sold for as little as $24,990 driveaway?

      And that's still too much.

    • Steptoe on 13/09/2016 - 12:57

      They do some dodgy tax thing with Demo's, so may have written down the stock at EOFY.
