But the key to lower priced sensors is getting your local place to install them for you because they'd rather install their own at jacked up prices. I was able to buy an OBDII scanner for my wife's Durango and my Dakota for $50 when we owned them and successfully diagnosed and purchased the correct upstream and downstream O2 sensors cheaply at separate times when the time came for each and precheck that I'd pass emissions and...

I drive them forever. Both my cars are over 10 and I still wish they had TPMS. I tend to get a flat a year. I don't see any cheap car parts out there anymore, but TPMS sensors will probably come down a bit since all the new cars have to have them. eBay has aftermarket ones for $43 now.

It turns out that the PCV valve blew, he had asked me why I was driving it in the cold because that cause the valve to constrict and blow he also told me that the engine noise is common when it gets cold out! The person in the first blog mentioned that the noise was more apparent in the cold. Just trying to warn people that maybe this isnt the best vehicle when in cold temperatures ie (-33).

PCV valve - interesting. -33 is pretty extreme. For my 08 Outlander (U.S. market) I think the owners manual says something about the transmission not functioning below -31 until it warms up a bit.   Thanks for getting back with the update.

Another shout-out for the V6 six-speed. Great powertrain. Mine ('07 AWD LS) has been problem free except for one recall when it was new.

I was just about to buy an Outlander and now find that there is only one dealership in the whole of the Portland area. This has made me have serious second thoughts with regards to keeping the warranty up. I think Mitsu's are great cars, but car owners need a support network. Vancouver, Salem and Beaverton have all closed their dealerships. I called Mitsubishi and they said they have lots of calls regarding the distance to their local...

1. XLS, V6, 6 spd auto. This is a great combination: good power to weight ratio, good (not great) fuel economy - 20-21 mpg in warm weather, and only 18-19 mpg now. No problems with towing. I towed fully loaded U-haul trailer for over 700 miles round trip last summer without the sweat. If you plan to carry some cargo or few people often, with AC on - get V6. Otherwise - 4cyl will do. 2. 1500# is not that much, trailer itself can weight 600-800#...

I have the 07 xls with the v6 and love it . I have all the paks on it and got a great deal last new years eve. Get the V6 if you can !!

But can anyone who owns the I4 with the CVT comment on its performance reliability?   Thanks.

Smooth ride, handles well, very comfortable seats and car like ride. Feels like a luxury SUV. Didn't like the Santa Fe and the Mazda Tribute has rear drum brakes.  I know I made the right choice and loving it.
