2008 Mitsubishi Outlander SE
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
OVERVIEW
SE stands for Special Edition. It has a 2.4-liter engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), plus a few more goodies. Like magnesium paddle shifters on the steering column for racer-style gearchanges, 18-inch alloy wheels and a 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system--which should really move some air.
UNDER THE HOOD
2.4-liter, four-cylinder
OUR TAKE
So far, the Outlander hasn’t really distinguished itself from the sea of so-so Japanese SUV-lites. Which is not to say that it’s bad in any way, just that... what car were we talking about again?
