In fact this Outlander has been the most reliable car i've ever owned. I do all the servicing myself and not a single issue outside normal wear and tear items. I even got 80k out of the last set of tyres.
I hope your Outlander serves you well as my daughters Outlander was a great car until the CVT shat it self, replacement was uneconomical and most transmission shops won't touch them stating CVT's are not worth repairing or rebuilding.
