Just because an AWD works on one car well, doesn't mean it will be better than or equal to on another car.
That is like saying, "These pants look good on my 120 girlfriend, so I am sure your 220 pound girlfriend would look great in them!"
I was just offering my $0.02. I can't speak for the Outlander because I've never actually driven one, but I know Mitsubishi's AWD system is legit.
The S-AWC has been given excellent reviews since it's introduction 5-6 years ago.
