2019 CLEVELAND CARAVAN, CAMPING, BOATING AND 4X4 EXPO
Landed in a great place Britto’s Bark IT HAS been a while since I have been in the saddle however Britto is back and firing on all cylinders and I am very pleased to be writing the Bark in its new home the motoring section of the Seniors magazine. My first road review is the 2019 Outlander 2WD petrol CVT “BLACK EDITION” Demonstrator which comes with a host of accessories included in the driveway price, which I will further explain along with the driveway price at the base of this review. There was a lot to like about this vehicle , especially the funky styling and when you consider the Outlander brand has been around for at least 10 plus years the 2019 Outlander is as different as chalk and cheese and as good looking as Mrs Britto. The last two weeks I have driven this Outlander around the Sunshine Coast predominantly Palmwoods, Yandina, Bli Bli, Kureelpa and Nambour, and the weather gods were not
kind as rain was the norm over the two weeks however the Outlander performed beautifully. We navigated very steep wet driveways with concrete wheel tracks that went on and on at least Britto was given 9 ¾ out of ten, the old ticker was racing over-time but we made it. That was an experience and the Outlander lapped it up. Driving around the many hilly streets of Nambour the hill start assist was put to good use as it prevents the vehicle from rolling back wards by maintaining breaking force to give you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator and it also has an handy push bottom electric park brake. Overall the Outlander is quite a good size, like the three bears not too big and not too small, just right. As mentioned earlier this is the bottom line $32,490 DRIVE AWAY which includes: ■ Black 18 inch Alloy wheels ■ Black Grille & Front Bumper ■ Reverse Parking
Sensor’s ■ Black Roof Rails ■ Push Button Start & Keyless Entry 1. Recommended drive away selling price includes 12 months registration, CTP insurance, Stamp Duty & Dealer Delivery. 2. Offer eligible on selected demonstrator vehicles only and redeemed at point of purchase.
