Thread: What do we know about Mitsi Outlanders? Asking for....

We have a 2013 model (2nd NZ owner). Bought at 34km, now at 100km. Does what we want which is road trips and the 4WD is a handy back up on the mountain for skiing. I like the space in the back. Comfortable open road cruiser and pretty economical at it.
Put a claim in with insurance after one too many potholes saw the rear left suspension 5hit itself. The local Mitsi dealer here in Taranaki said no to the insurance company claim. Explanation is it's expected that you would replace the suspension every 6-7 years (WTF). Arguing back and forth that our last SUV being driven on the same roads in the same manner had got through to 300km no problems fell on deaf ears. Didn't realise suspension was treated as a consumable part. Couldn't find any mention of it in the service schedule in the manual. Still stone walled me on it.

Like the car well enough, but won't be buying another Mitsi when we decide to trade on that basis and told them so. There's other options around.
