Mitsubishi took fourth place with a commercial for the ’17 Outlander and Outlander sport that features customer feedback about the models. The brand professes “nine out of ten of our drivers recommend their cars” because of features including standard third-row seating, all-wheel drive and a 10-year/100,000-mile (160,000-km) warranty.
