2009 Mitsubishi Outlander

In essence, the camshafts have two profiles: a low performance, high-efficiency setup for low rev operations such as when going to the shops or to church, and a high-performance (and thirsty), high rev gig for when you notice a Subaru Forester in your mirrors and it has a hood scoop.

:D:D:D:D…enyewe watu wa Subaru ni sumbua sana

@mhandisi

my rela had this car a while back. ilikuwa na a lot of engine problems, was a guzzler na ilikuwa underpowered sana. Haiwezani na milima at all.
He sold it 7months after kuimport. Hiyo io wachana nayo.

BTW just rembered kuna siku nilibebwa na hio gari nili itoa rangi they were still new hio gari ni shida

Mitsubishi pajero exceed is the king of the hills.
Haitambui milima but kinakunywa pia.
That power comes with a price.

One thing I noticed with Mitsubishi owners is that they are out to prove their cars are superior. One guy was chasing down my alfa. All he received was ultimate shock. With an anti-roll kit that comes as standard on my alfa the bastard almost died as he tried to keep up. A shorter gear ratio and a twin turbo combined with Italian racing DNA is something no Japanese maker can match… Not the subs or yotas or nissans come close. I am working to import a guilleta and it will be chapter closed even for Mercedes, BMW zseries and M3s. Raw naturally aspirated power.

Boss Mitsubishi is the king of Japanese for the same class,My Galant Fortis 2ltr with no turbo can smoke any subaru hata outback ya 2500cc.It borrows most parts from the racing lancer evoX ni turbo tu haina.Clutch is twin clutch SST…Drive is AWD…and I got it cheaper than a premio / subaru b4…Parts zimejaa grogon na original ziko simba colt…We mits people dont hype these cars, we know what a perfomance car should do. The olny problem ni resale value which is very bad.

Don’t ever buy a mitsubishi if you think of resale value. Gari ikiwa mzee unawacha kuku ziishi ndani ama unapea watoto wachezee

Talkers I would like some advice and user experience on this car as I have always been eyeing it for quite sometime but saw one during easter that really dissapointed me. Here is my story:
I am a great fan of mitsubishi cars and this is after owning one for about three years now and having driven a couple of different ones and I really liked their performances. To begin with, I own an old jalopy in the name of a mitsubishi lancer ck2 (YOM 1997). It has always been my plan to upgrade to a Mitsubishi Outlander in the near future and ultimately to the Pajero because I am Mitsu blood and bone.
My lancer serves me very well considering that I have no family of my own and I take trips upcountry(In the land where the deputy president was born) at least once in every two months. Now, recently during the easter holiday I headed up to unite with my kin.
So come Monday early morning I set my journey back to Nrb and just after burnt forest I notice some car with bright fog lamps (I fail to understand why some people have the fog lights during the day yet those are not Daytime running Lights) coming pretty fast and I subtly indicated for it to pass. On overtaking I notice its a 2009 Outlander and from the look of things it had like four occupants (two adults and two children), and it soon disappears. Soon I get to Ainabkoi junction (ile junction ya kwenda kapsabet) and those who have used this road know that it’s like 3kms of climbing when heading to Nrb. There are a couple of trailers on the climbing lane and so I take the middle lane and steadly cruise at a 100kph up the hill. However, midway through the climbing I find the outlander labouring to climb and I quickly close the gap. Soon am behind the outlander and on the climbing lane their is a matatu going at par with this outlander and the guy cant seem to overtake the matatu. I honk and flash lights but the fool is not budging and so I take the third lane and try to overtake but by this time my momentum is gone and the car seems to be labouring and now we are all at par, and there is an oncoming trailer. Well, I shift down from 5th to 3rd gear and I quickly overtake the two cars and get back to the climbing lane.
This seemed to have not sat well with the Outlander guy and soon after the climbing was over he flew by, guessing he was at 120+. Came the next climbing phase and again the outlander is there labouring to climb and I easily overtake.
To cut the long story short, this kept on happening all through to Kinugi where I overtook and didn’t see the Outlander behind me again. So my concerns are:

1. Was it that the car had mechanical faults or outlanders are generally lazy when it comes to climbing considering that other cars of the same class such as the RAV4 are serious hill climbers and genuinely you can’t compete with them with a 1500cc engine.
2. Is this car powerful enough to offer good performance for long distances
3. How is its fuel consumption vis a vis road performance?

Ebu pull that climbimg lane stance to someone who has Oulander Roadest version ama Outlander VR-X…utashangaa…

my fren, the 3.0 vr-x v6 which is the top of the range of the outlanders produces 226hp with 214 ft/lbs of torque
stock fozzy SG version toboas 227 hp with 228 ft. it will still kick the tanyes of an outlander
