2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is an interesting little crossover with more character in a compact package than the full-sizzed Outlander. Despite not having the financial might of GM or Volkswagen, Mitsubishi has managed to create a decent platform, which now underpins the Peugeot 4008 and Citroen C4 Aircross French crossovers.
The Outlander Sport is also a very safe vehicle, as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it its Top Safety Pick.
