Baileyjake,
It's interesting to hear people's opinion, and I take what they say on board, but I must admit, I do like my outlander, mpg my not be what I was expecting, but it tows my van with no issues, unlike my petrol crv.

Quote: Originally posted by Baileyjake on 27/1/2016I mentioned the ASX figures to the guy at my local mitsubishi dealers. His response was that the 2 can't be compared as they are "totally different cars". He also said that he drove to South of France on the peage in a borrowed outlander and got 39mpg average. And he thought that was good. I couldn't entertain an ASX or an X-trail now since I am trading up to a 1600 kg van this year. To be honest the distance I drive to work and the fact diesel is now 99p/L I am not that aggrieved although I would like to say that mitsubishies "intelligent motion" is just a meaningless sticker. Bloke at dealer said it was because the car has auto start stop.....my GX4 doesn't. In hindsight I should have bought an XC90 or parhfinder but hey changing cars costs more money than I want to spend.
Maybe the outlander is so shockingly poor because it's made in a Dutch factory along with peugeots and citroens? Is the 3008 not an ASX though?

Firstly your dealer is totally wrong, though that does not surprise me, few car salesmen anywhere know the first thing about cars. Check with the service team you'll get a quite different answer. The Outlander and ASX are very similar cars, the ASX has the same floorpan and wheelbase as the Outlander and the same engine/drive train. Look inside and they are very similar too - except for the seat heater buttons grrr! Both cars share many similar parts. Sadly, as you say though the ASX has a much lower towing limit. I think this is deliberate to force more Outlander sales as they cost a great deal more.

There was a joint manufacturing plant in Holland, but that stopped producing models in 2012. All UK ASX are made in Japan. (Mine was still on a boat when I ordered it.)

The Peugeot 4007 (and Citroen C Crossover) were rebadged Outlanders, but the 3008 is quite different, Peugeot's own model.

Frankly the stop-start made little difference, where I live it rarely kicked in, and they have removed if from the later auto models - for safety reasons judging by my test drive of a Qashqai auto with the most gruesome stop/start ever.

Towing our caravan down to Italy we averaged 37mpg (again tank to tank).

Yes Carlwaynie I think can accept 35mpg round town with built in sat nav, full leather interior bi xenon headlights, heated seats, 800watt music system with sub woofer and let's not forget 177bhp with 280 lb/ft.

Certainly when towing current van can easily accelerate to match speed of middle lane when passing HGVs.

I assumed the link between the smaller 3008 and mitsubishi because I was talking to a Dutch guy who had one and the lower boot opening that folds down looks identical inside to the outlanders, the lever boot catch etc. It's a shame they dropped this on the newer outlanders because it's a very handy seat for changing boots etc and also good for loading the awning in the boot.

Totally agree Baileyjake.
Just need to ask you if your V5 has the same mass in service weight as mine, which states 1810kg?
Cheers

Hi Carlwaynie

Just checked my V5 and the mass in service is indeed 1810kg.

Had a worrying moment when I picked up the V5 for one of my motorbikes because it was in the document wallet for my car. This has a mass in service of 240kg. D-oh!

Does the mass in service include the driver?

Baileyjake,
From what I've read, it includes 90% fuel plus 75kg for driver.
