Looking at a family car and like them both...
What kind of Gas milage do you get with them?
If you own a 7, do you wish you got more room with the 9?
Any major problems at all?

I would agree. I would also have some concerns with having a turbo 4 on an SUV and am referring to the long term potential maintenance on the car.

I like Tanya's CX-9 a lot. Stupid amount of room inside, from a car that doesn't look hulking from the outside. My only qualm, is that she didn't opt for the AWD version, but alas...
Surprisingly spunky engine, too!

The Outlander would be brutally slow. It would lose to Corollas. They're only 3100 lbs (auto), which isn't bad for a small SUV, but still, my Impreza has 170hp and weighs 3100 lbs and it is a gutless wonder at this altitude. When you need that little boost of power to make a lane change in traffic it just isn't there. But if you are mostly a passive driver and don't mind it being slow, I'm sure it would be reliable and the gas mileage is nice.

I had an Outlander for 3 years back when they came out. A good car really, but with a massive 150hp under the hood I had to get rid of it..Painfully slow..Was looking at a Lancer and thank God, saw an article about a MS3.. The rest is history.....Also bought my daughter an Eclipse- the paint fell off. Finally Mitsu had a lawsuit brought against them and they repainted it. But it took a lawsuit for them to do the right thing. Pretty much all black Eclipse's painted here (not Japan) had the issue...

I have an 08 CX-7 AWD and I love it. I love it so much, that's why I bought my MS3 a year later. No issues with either car so far. Plenty of room for me and my family (wife + 2 kids). I don't want a car that's so big that can haul a lot of people anyway because when you're planing to go somewhere, everyone will expect you to drive them because you have a big car.
