www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 14, 2007 - 19 Mitsubishi shines with their second generation Outlander Continued from Page 18 Auto EVERYTHING accessing it can sometimes be another matter. Much of our rolling footage was along an access road beside a state park that was scenic but no challenge. I never had to use the AWD in the XLS I was driving. Out on the sand (I made sure it was hard packed first) the Outlander rolled up into the perfect location with the kind of soft backlight and pounding surf you dream of for beauty shots. I did have it in AWD for this, but there was no drama or getting bogged down in ruts. Another part of the drive involved California's Highway 101 up to Pismo Beach. The speed limit here is 65 mph which the locals ignore, but I stuck to because the Highway Patrol takes no prisoners when it comes to speeding. The all-new aluminum V6 in cruise just loped along with the tach rarely exceeding 3,000 rpm, thanks to the six-speed automatic that did a near seamless job of matching revs and power to the road surface. While it did have the paddle shifters, I didn't use them. When you have a perfectly good automatic, why mess around with sequential manual shifting? I know there is an advantage in using second or third in some conditions and first for climbing seriously steep hills, but I have yet to encounter them. Fuel consumption is rated as 12.0/8.1L/100 km city/highway on the FWD version and 12.2/8.5L/100 km city/highway on the AWD.

Bluetooth is catching on fast because it allows hands-free cellphone conversion along with voice recognition. With the increasing public pressure about people driving around with one hand on a cellphone and another holding a cigarette, Bluetooth is a simple and relatively inexpensive solution. I am thinking about retrofitting it to my personal car.
