I had an RVR for a rental for 3 days, back in 2017 or 2018. Felt comfortable and roomy. Outlander Sport is the same CUV in the USA. It is like an oversized Lancer, kinda like the old Escape is to the old Focus.
RVR's ride is very comfortable, way more spacious, and WAY less bumpy than my Mirage, except in the legroom department they are too close for comfort...4/10 considering the size of the RVR. But overall, you really feel more space when you are driving around. RVR rental seemed good on gas, but I only drove 200 km's. I never even figured out the cruise. The auto shifter is weird and hard to figure out. Cruise is hard to figure out on the fly. But I think it's just a dressed up Dodge Caliber at the end of the day, same goes with the EVO, good or bad. At least that's what I read in Lemon Aid Used Car Guide book last year.
I think the Eclipse Cross is more up to date, so I am looking at used ones of those eventually. I have seen a few in real life, and on the highway twice now, and yes kinda funny looking, but actually good looking. And the RVR err Outlander Sport, is looking older. Classic looks, but I think I will wait for the new 2022 Outlander full-size, to see what it looks like.
Not sure why, but a lot of the time Mitsubishi SUVs are on the cheaper end of the used market
