Tough call... for me it's between Atlantic Grey and White Pearl, Ruby Black is nice but hard to keep clean and cool (perhaps dealers are more lenient towards black color since they always have a service that cleans the for-sale vehicles)

Let us know if the money saved is worth the downgrade in every area of driving dynamics :) I half joke as I'll be in the same boat soon (currently with a BMW X1)

Update: Not good, not only has Aron from Continental said MY2019 will not get the powertrain updates, now Zack from Michaud Mitsubishi (MA) said the same thing. He did say all other updates (soundproofing, spot welding, suspension upgrades, etc) will be making it for MY2019, I'm guessing they're...

I inquired and re-inquired to a few USA dealers about MY2019, whether it'll get the powertrain updates: "the new 2019 PHEV will have a bigger battery and a bigger powertrain, the 2.4." - Aron Nelson, Continental Mitsubishi, Countryside, IL. EDIT: now Aron is saying what user Kelmac reported...

Care to name your source? I inquired and re-inquired my sources, I guess we'll find out soon who's right: "the new 2019 PHEV will have a bigger battery and a bigger powertrain, the 2.4." - Aron Nelson, Continental Mitsubishi, Countryside, IL. "bigger engine from 2.0 to 2.4 and larger battery...

If one cannot determine root cause or specific repro steps, the next best thing is being as detailed as you can, and it looks like you are. Hope you and Mitsubishi can get to the bottom of it.

Nice illustration, as long as the Porsche driver understands that by burning rubber and taking high speed turns, that $4,000 tire set will not last long. Somehow though I don't think Porsche drivers will be confused/angry that their tires didn't last as long as the tire warranty.

Two separate points - 1) expecting 2019 to be significantly better - I put up a post here ( http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3755 ) detailing the changes. It's quite a list, whether one feels these changes are significant, is up to you. 2) expecting them anytime soon -...

MY2018 has an electric sunroof on the higher GT trim in USA, we'll see about MY2019 when it arrives:

There was uncertainty about the federal ev tax credit... in 2017. It surprisingly survived that same year: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/11/business/electric-vehicles-taxes-tesla-gm.html Chances that it will now go away is slim to none. This sentiment is shown in established and recent...

I wonder why it was removed as an option? I checked the UK configurator, none of the phev trims has it. Checking the Australian site, it looks like the regular Outlander retains it for MY2019 (under "OCCUPANT COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE")...

I don't have any experience with Saab, and yes, seat comfort is subjective. But it is telling that Mitsubishi felt like it had to revise and advertise the updated seat design for MY2019 Outlander phev.

Sad/funny story - when we visited Japan this year (same visit where we test drove the Outlander phev for a day), wife's family just replaced their old Toyota Noah with a brand new Honda Freed Hybrid, and the only reason they chose it over the Toyota Sienta Hybrid was that they didn't like the...

Well, since you asked... :) My biggest gripe about the vehicle is the seat comfort, or lack thereof. Both front and rear passengers were critical of seat comfort after a 2 hour stint, and both sides of the family are coming from Toyota backgrounds. To be fair though, we are probably more...

Do you see any pattern or variable that is common between events that are successfully saved to those that are not? Could there also be something happening before or after the event that triggers a success or failure? The answer to this question is what Mitsubishi will be trying to discern...

Using e50/e85 in a non-flex-fuel vehicle can void the manufacturer warranty (https://ethanolrfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/RFA-Auto-Manufacturer-Fuel-Recommendations-2012-2013-2014-2013.10.30.pdf ). In the USA, specifically for the Outlander PHEV, that could be throwing away a 10 year...

The official line from the manual, at least the USA manual, is ethanol up to 10% only (3-45):

There was a conversation on this in the technical section, not sure if you already read: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3816

There are a few dealers on autotrader listing the Outlander PHEV with $7-8k discounts...

There's an OEM option if you can get it from Japan, part number MZ 501739, it is air-bag compatible, expensive, and shipping will probably cost an arm and leg: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/purchase/accessory/lineup/outlander/interior.html There are custom-seat vendors out there, but I...
