Other Choices:

The driving position in the Outlander—like in the Subaru Forester—seems a bit lower to the road; thus, the Outlander feel sportier than most small SUVs. Compared to the Forester, the standard four in the Outlander doesn’t come across nearly as strong as the standard flat-four in the Subaru even though their power figures are close, but the Outlander has it beat with its V-6. For a few thousand dollars more, the Mazda CX-7 seats only five, but it's perceived as a more complete performance package, with very comfortable seating, sporty suspension tuning, and a rorty turbocharged engine. The Forester and CR-V remain the best for those who are safety-minded; they're both IIHS Top Safety Picks. Like the Toyota RAV4, the Outlander offers a small third-row seat that will probably go unused most of the time but is nice to have; like the Honda CR-V, its interior is very spacious. The Outlander has more spirited performance and sportier handling than the Toyota and Honda, though the ride is firmer and less comfortable on some surfaces.

    Its annoying at how the outlander is continuously underated by supposed experts. Its always the negatives that are pointed out first against its competitors as in the other choices review. More emphasis is put on how poor the 4 is against the Forrester and briefly mentions that the V6 kills it.
    The CX-7 comparison is "a few thousand more". That depends which model we are now comparing too. If its the Outlander four its more than just a few thousand and we conveniently forget to mention the CX-7 is very thirsty, which is what put me off it.
    We comment on how much better the Forrester and CRV rate in safety. Why? Didnt this Outlander just get a 10/10 for safety as well. It gets a 5star safety rating with all side, curtain and front airbags you could require.
    We cant go by with giving a complement to it without a vague negative implication when mentioning the handling. The outlander handles very well and does feel sporty. I would suggest that the CRV & RAV4 are just as uncomfortable "on some surfaces" and would expect the outlander is much better in conditions closer to real 4wd situations due to its superior ground clearance and full lock 4wd mode.
