Arizona Road Trip in the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

Although I received complimentary use of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and this post contains affiliate links, all opinions in this post are my own.

I recently went on an Arizona road trip in the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. We are definitely heading into the road trip season. The warmer weather, blue skies and cooler nights makes spring thru the fall the best seasons to go on a road trip. An Arizona road trip in particular is spectacular. There is so much beautiful terrain to take in. Mountains and cliffs and canyons and desert and red rocks and cactuses and even volcanoes. My husband and I really enjoyed driving through these areas in the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

First of all, doesn’t it look fabulous?! The first thing I noticed was the “rally red metallic” exterior. Red is one of my favorite colors. This model had sleek black interior. The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a 4 door SUV.  I find most SUVs to be too big and difficulty to maneuver. However, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the perfect mid-sized SUV that seats 5 passengers. And, it was easy to get in and out of. There was no climbing or jumping up needed to enter the vehicle (the women reading this know what I am talking about).

We found the inside to be very roomy. My husband is 6 feet tall and as you can see he had plenty of room in the driver’s seat. The trunk was also spacious holding both of our suitcases with extra room.

The dashboard was easy to use and navigate through. There were popular apps available via the “7 inch Smartphone Link Display Audio system”. It is Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatible. There are 6 speakers and digital HD radio. The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has Bluetooth wireless technology, steering wheel audio and phone controls and dual USB ports. It is also comes with a Sirius XM Satellite Radio 3 month subscription. One of the features that I really enjoyed is the rear-view camera. However, we did not find navigation in this model. If you do a lot of driving or road trips bring a portable GPS navigator or you can use your smartphone. The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has tons of other spectacular features that you can read about here. But, I am sure you are wondering how it drives and about the cost.

We arrived in Phoenix at sunset. By the time we picked up the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and took off for Flagstaff, nighttime was upon us. I drove 2 ½ hours on winding roads pass a lot of tractor trailers. Actually, most of them passed me :-). This SUV was not only comfortable but it drives like a dream. The steering was easy to maneuver thanks to the electric power steering. I also felt like I had a good handle on the roads. Thankfully we had great weather during our drive but the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport does have All-Wheel Control. It terms of safety features, you can expect an Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control Logic, front and side airbags, LATCH child-restraint system, child safety rear door locks and an anti-theft alarm system.

It was fun to drive along the famous Route 66

In terms of costs, the MSRP for this model is 29,110.00. This is a great price for a chic SUV with the long list of features included. The Fuel economy numbers are 23 MPH city and 28 MPH highway.

    Thanks for providing this excellent post on your experiences with the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It looks like it has almost every feature I want along with ample cargo space.

    It’s nice to own a car that’s friendly on the gas. Had a Ford F-150 for a protracted time and it absolutely was simply a gas gulping hog, pricey and not eco-friendly. Seems like a good road trip.

      Thanks yes it was great!

    Hello, Nadeen. I am well acquainted with Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, as my wife drives this car. It was very interesting for me to read your reviews. I must say your positive review on this car didn’t surprise me. Outlander Sport is really a great model, as well as all the other Mitsubishi products.

    Unique design, neatness, powerful but economic engine, comfortable and spacious interior, and all the most modern electronics, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is common to Mitsubishi. What can be better?

    Hi Nadeen,

    My dad purchased the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and I was so impressed, I started looking around for additional info that would basically talk me into the latest model, and I found your post. Thank you.

    Cheers Nathan…

  • Welcome to Chicago! The Chi. Chi-town? What comes to mind when you think of Chicago? 
This may be my shortest reel yet but it captures a lot of my quick trip to Chicago over the Holiday weekend! 

1) an amazing stay at the new luxury hotel 🏨 downtown @thelasallechicago part of the @marriotthotels Autograph collection
2) The architecture cruise 🚢 on the Chicago river. It’s such a great way to learn the history of Chicago! 
3) a visit to Millennium Park to grab new pics by Cloud Gate AKA “the bean” 
4) Pictures by “The 🦩Flamingo” the red sculpture 
5) Dinner in Hyde Park at the Black-Owned restaurant @virtuerestaurantchi congrats to @cheferickwilliams for his James Beard award for best chef Great Lakes!
6) Dinner @hugosfrogbar with the insane macadamia turtle ice cream cake! 

I didn’t get any deep dish pizza 🍕 this time but my husbands favorite @parrishu70 (he’s from Chicago) is @giordanospizza and I still need to get to the top of the @willistowerchicago 

Have you been to Chicago? If so what are your favorite things to do there?

  • 🤣🤣. Just a reminder to still #maskup 😷and use your hand sanitizer and don’t travel if you are sick!

I have been traveling/flying about twice a month and I’m still surprised how many people are not wearing masks. People, kids, children, babies are still getting COVID-19 and being hospitalized for it. 

Get vaccinated, get your boosters. There is no guarantee that new strains won’t pop up. 

I am cautiously optimistic and I’m looking forward to finally doing more international travel but I plan to still take precautions. 

But can we talk about how funny and cool 😎 this @usher meme and performance is?!! Has anyone seen his Vegas show? Decades later and he is still an excellent performer! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  • Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸weekend from CHICAGO!!
Did you really go to Chicago if you didn’t get a picture of “the bean” Actually called Cloud Gate. 
But on a Holiday weekend why was I still shocked 😳 to see lines to enter Millennium Park?!! 
A lot of content creators get up at sunrise 🌄 to get pictures without crowds and get those “Instagram vs Reality” shots. I don’t have that lol I only have the REALITY shots because I am a night owl and nocturnist and I can never get up early! 
Thank goodness the line went fast and I got my pics in 20 minutes although with lots of people in them. 

I have been here several times before but when I come to Chicago I ❤️ seeing it and capturing new pics. It’s like going to Paris. I always have to go by the Eiffel Tower. Like duhhhhh

We had the most delicious Mexican food @tacombi 
A lot of the restaurants in this area were pricy and had long lines but Tacombi is a casual Mexican eatery with Art Deco decor and savory authentic eats! 
Try the

How often do you use a professional photographer when you travel? I don’t do it often enough!
My husband and I did a professional photo shoot for our second anniversary in Paris and the pictures were beautiful. Since then we have been taking our own or rather mostly I have been taking selfies lol 
But there are so many options now. We used @flytographer but @airbnbexperiences also has options. The pics are so much nicer. 
I ❤️ these! They were taken in the Miami Design District which is a great backdrop!
