As above the bodywork on the outlanders is terrible, especially on the black models which have white primer underneath. The panels are soft & easily dented, the paint is very thin & prone to scratching.

This is known issue with mitsubishi. The vehicle software cannot cope with the latest bluetooth. My phev has been as described above for over a year now. Mitsubishi have apparantly released some updated firmware to combat this problem. My phev is in the dealer this Wednesday for the update. The...

Mine is the same 10 months in black & the amount of fine scratches & rub marks is unbelievable. It doesnt help when the primer underneath is white. Mitsu dealer has had a look at the 1st service & stated that its normal. My wifes BMW has done over 100k & looks in better nick.

You can run the cable in the headlining then down inside the passenger A pillar, then through behind the glove box to 12v socket in the dash. Takes about 20 mins to install

So glad I have a dash cam & a delightful old lady has broadsided my PHEV on a roundabout this morning, car will now need a new passenger front wing, inner wing, bumper, sill, & probably a door. Alloy wheel is also damaged & possibly the steering etc. I have no doubt that this will be expensive...
