From sitting in one myself at the dealer and articles like this

I'd never drive one without blind spot monitoring. That sloping roofline looks cool but I don't think it's practical in any way.
I wasn't impressed with the new Outlander rear visibility either.
Take it from a OS/RVR/ASX owner. The 2.0 engine is a great engine. Mine has been flawless so far 3yrs+. The 1.5 Turbo in the EC, not so much. Lots of pain in the EC forums.

oh yeah, the house of pain. I've been a lurker on this site for quite some time.

There's no house of pain, like the BMW 7-Series house of pain. The suicide hotline number has to be published all over that forum.

I've read thru a bunch of posts on there, varying incidents of CPU needing software updates for various issues (Outlander Sport 2.0, anyone?) some electrical issues with touch screen, complaints about the automatic climate controls (like Ive seen on here) but I'm not seeing wholesale turbo/engine failures or fires (sorry Kia/Hyundai). Gotta remember it's a 4 year old design, not 10 like the Mirage. Even our beloved cars had their teething pains.
