Searching for a vehicle that will fit the whole family is harder than one would think. Finding a vehicle that's versatile and safe is on the top of lists for many. A great family vehicle should be reliable, spacious, versatile, comfortable and safe (if the vehicle had some style as well it wouldn't hurt). After reading various articles on how to solve this dilemma, the 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander stood out, and this is why. 

Performance: With SUV's known as not being the most fun to drive vehicles, the Outlander breaks though that barrier with a bang.  The stylish athletic look of the vehicle suggests the way the crossover handles, sporty and fun. Outlander ES/SE are equiped with 2.4L four cylinder engine creating 168 horses. The bigger XLS comes with a 3.0L V6 for a boost of 220 hp. Outlanders come with 2WD or AWD options. AWD can shift between 2WD, Auto 4WD, and Full 4WD depending on where you are. 

MPG: V4 20/25 city/highway. V6 17/24 city/highway. 

Body: Cream of the Crop. XLS comes with the luxury features such as: third row seat, hands-free bluetooth, auto climate control, roof rails, key-less entry, heated mirrors, alloy wheels and more. The Outlander holds 72.6 cubic feet with the rear seats down, which is great among the other competitors in its class. Kbb reviews said that the 2009 Outlander is most likely the top vehicle for tech-savvy customers. 

Reliability: According to edmunds car reviews and MSN Autos the Outlanders reliability has been outstanding for years now. No significant or even moderate problems (for V4 & V6) have affected the majority of these crossover SUV's for years. Families can drive this vehicle with ease of mind as long as they take care of regular maintenance. 

Safety: This is where the Outlander really shines. Featuring: anti-lock disc brakes, stability control, front and side curtain airbags and more come equipped on even the standard model. Earning impressive scores across the board, the Outlander achieved 5 star ratings in nearly every category. 

Overall: This vehicle would be recommended for most families. Acknowledging the fact that not all family cars need to be minivans, the stylish Outlander steps it up. The Outlander is a vehicle that will take a family anywhere they need to go thanks to 4WD, with decent millage, peace of mind with reliability and safety, all for a very reasonable price.
