A new model year sometimes brings big changes and improvements, and sometimes it doesn’t. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has only moderate changes for the 2021 model year, which fixes some of its problems but not others. That lead MotorTrend to make a rather lukewarm comment about the plug-in hybrid SUV, saying it’s “old-school-ish and imperfect, …

Hyundai makes some of the best SUVs on the market, but the Hyundai Tucson is often overlooked. It features a smooth powertrain and a five-star safety rating, as well as one of the longest warranties available. It hasn’t had any major upgrades in a few years, but a redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson is planned. Another …
Fast cars are usually cool, but driving a slow car isn’t necessarily uncool. Well, what about the slowest car? Recent evidence would suggest that the slowest car on the 2021 market (at least tested by Consumer Reports) is, in fact, very, very uncool. I hate to disrespect the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage like this, but facts …
The GR Yaris’s rave reviews don’t make its lack of US availability any easier to bear. But the Toyota hot hatch isn’t the only rally-themed car kept from American shores.

With volume comes less expense and we have always been told that eventually, electric cars will become cheaper. Now that may be finally happening.

In some places, it is called a Mitsubishi Express, in other places it is the Renault Trafic van. Either way, it scored zero-stars from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program.

New cars are fun and exciting. Even though that is usually true, many cars share a platform, engine, and sometimes everything but a badge.

There are some great pickup trucks out there that we can’t have in the US. A lot of the reason has to do with the “Chicken Tax” that adds 25% to the price of any pickup imported into the US. For that reason and mostly that alone if the pickup isn’t made here it can’t …
You might remember the Mitsubishi 3000GT. It was a good-looking coupe with all-wheel-drive capability and three trim levels.

The 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT When you think …

Though the last Lancer Evolution came out about six years ago, the Mitsubishi AWD rally icon built up a massive fanbase over the years. That’s especially impressive considering the first few models weren’t even sold in the US. As a result, these cars tend to hold their value fairly well. But, as the 2005 Mitsubishi …
In modern days, we love to see cars with futuristic tech and features we’ve never seen before. Tesla is a great example of this — a brand that features the latest tech, cool Easter eggs that you don’t see in any other cars, and spaceship-like features. But, there is a point in time where cars become …
Is the 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross’ ridiculously low price swaying you? Don’t overthink it. The 2021 Mazda CX-5 is a favorite for a reason.

As endearing as the latest Suzuki Jimny is, it’s not coming to the US anytime soon. But early models are old enough to import. And although the Consumer Reports scandal curtailed sales, Suzuki did sell a version of the Jimny, the Samurai, in the US. But, if you’re looking for a compact JDM off-road SUV, …
The Mitsubishi Mirage has spent the past near-decade as one of the most affordable vehicles on the market. And this subcompact offers minimal features that reflect its can’t-beat price. The 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage is finally ready for the road, and for the first time, its MSRP exceeds $15,000. But is this little car worth the …
The Mitsubishi Mirage is known for a few things. Unfortunately some of those things are pretty negative, what list did the Mirage recently find itself on?

In September 1978, Mitsubishi released a five-door hatchback version built on a longer wheelbase. Although Mitsubishi put a lot of effort into the Mirage over the past couple of decades, it has …
Thanks to the rise of #vanlife, SUVs and trucks aren’t the only vehicles capable of wandering off the paved path. And when it comes to overlanding minivans, the Mitsubishi Delica Japanese van has a particularly strong following. But given that Mitsubishi didn’t sell the best versions in the US, importing one can be an exercise …
The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander isn’t a standout in its class by any means. However, the new Outlander does give you a lot for the money.
Sports cars possess an undeniable appeal. There’s something about flying down the highway while zipping in and out of traffic that feels exhilarating.

Last year Mitsubishi showed off its Engelberg Tourer SUV concept to mixed reviews. The strange fascia design was expected to morph into something with more appeal.

The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is an ultra-affordable SUV. But should you spend more to upgrade to a 2021 Hyundai Tucson?
The Mitsubishi Mirage is not a well-loved vehicle. In fact, it made the top (or bottom) or many “worst car” style lists. The Mirage received terrible reviews across the board for being painfully bland and oddly dated. The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage could easily pass for a subcompact from the late ‘90s. It is a grotesque …
Nissan, Renault, and Mitsubishi are attached at the hip. That’s because Renault under the aegis of Carlos Ghosn bailed out Nissan and then later Mitsubishi. And in Japan, every car company owns at least a small stake in its competitor’s business. But Nissan will kill Mitsubishi if it does what is being rumored. The alliance …
Do you remember watching “The Fast and The Furious” and seeing the lime green Mitsubishi Eclipse grace the screen as the lead character, Brian O’Connor, does a test in the Dodger Stadium parking lot?

Who knew that Mitsubishi still made the all-electric i-MiEV? More importantly; who cares? Making its debut in 2009 it is amazing that it continued to be produced all of this time. Though it was sold in over 50 countries it only managed to sell 32,000 i-MiEVs. The Nissan Leaf EV, by comparison, has sold over …

If you’re ever in the market to get a used sporty little car, the Mitsubishi Eclipse could be the one for you.

The latest news from Mitsubishi isn’t particularly rosy. Which, given its history, is a shame. Mitsubishi has given us cars like the Lancer Evo, the Pajero SUV, and the Delica van. But there’s one more car you may have forgotten about: the Mitsubishi Galant. And while it didn’t make a good muscle car, the Galant …
