After owning 4 of these, 2 hatchbacks and 2 sedans, One was a 5 speed manual, rest were the CVT. The only warranty claim on any of them was a cracked armrest on the door. The manual is more fun to drive and get more MPG. Only problem is if you want a loaded car you are forced to get the CVT. Reviewers online hate the car ( Consumer Reports, Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, ect) but owner give it one of highest consumer satisfaction ratings among its class. Why is this? Well, Mirage owners get what this car is about, great MPG without dealing with the expense of buying a hybrid, Great warranty, Above average reliability, Great safety ratings, Cheap car to insure and maintain. Smooth ride, VALUE FOR THE MONEY. No other car manufacturer could come close on price. Example was the Nissan Versa, its was 3645.00 more money, had half the warranty. Don't pay attention to the sticker price, find out what the dealer is willing to sell it FOR! If your main concern is going from point A to point B no one can do it cheaper than a Mirage. My big concern now for Mitsubishi is Nissan owns the majority share now, Hopefully Nissan leaves Mitsubishi alone !

I drive roughly 100 miles a day. I needed and wanted a car that got good Gas Mileage. I was not looking at a mirage G4 at first, I thought I wanted a Hatchback or small SUV, I was looking at the outlander, then i tried the Mirage HAtchback, it was ok i was impressed by the gas mileage numbers, but thought it was a bit small for what i needed, so then I was shown the Mirage G4, I looked at many models before settling on a ES with several options, I wanted entertainment and comfort and great gas mileage. Thats exactly what it offers, great leg room and you sit up higher than you think you would, getting in out is a breeze. It has apple car play, android auto, bluetooth, DVD, HD Radio. I have gotten as good as 49 Miles per gallon, and average around 43, I mostly drive the interstate back and forth to work. I also Coach Soccer and trunk space is exceptional in this car. I have cut my gas bill in half and i really enjoy driving this car.

This is a great, no frills A to B sedan that puts money back in your pocket. My wife and I own a 2014 Hatch and a 2017 G4, both reliable, cheap to insure, maintain, and own. Sure, its slow and not a Cadillac of luxury, but thats not you own one. You own it because you can put 200k miles on one and spend a small amount doing it.

I am never one to listen to Consumer Reports. They have no clue! This car is amazing! I'm getting 38.2 MPG with mixed driving on the crowded South Florida roads. I am 6'2 and this car is quite roomy. Plenty of room in the backseat as well. Great technology like backup camera, bluetooth, automatic climate control. Very comfy seats. Wonderful warranty. Looks nice in the wine red color I selected. Decent sized trunk as well. I am so happy with my purchase. Feels much bigger than it is. And yes, perhaps the 1.2L, 78 hp, 3 cyl. is a tiny engine but the miles per gallon and amazing turning radius more than makes up for it. Great job Mitsubishi!

Bought the car to save money at the pump and too make extra money driving Lyft. It is a great little car gets amazing gas mileage has lots of room and is really comfortable the front seats are very supportive. All the passengers I have been surprised by how much room and how comfortable the rear seats are. The 3 cylinder does a good job getting the car around and I can easily pull 44 on a long trip. It is a very solid feeling well built car.

I purchased this car because I passed on my 07 Endeavor to my teenager, and it was time for a gas saver. I fell in love with the Sapphire Blue, and the model already came with the smartphone display package installed. I do all of my travelling in this car. I wish it had an arm rest, but I can survive. It does get a little shaky in high winds, I just decrease my speed some. Acceleration isn't the best either. It is big enough for four people without being cramped in. The trunk is huge for the car. We had our first wintry mix and I decided to take the car instead of the Endeavor. It handled better than the SUV. The traction light never came on and it braked so easily. No spinning or sliding when I took off. I love my G4 even more!! 2019-Still loving this car. No complaints! 2020-Coming upon my 3rd year, still great! Brake pads are a little worn and time for a transmission flush. I'm at 423000 miles.

I just purchased a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE CVT in Wine Red and love it. I traded my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT with Navigation and the updates are extensive. The interior on the 2017s has so many upgrades such as seat fabric material, interior piano trim, seat support, sound insulation, new gauge cluster, new steering wheel, new audio unit with apple car play and android auto, 4 more horsepower and a new roller cam shaft, new suspension updates, smoother idle, fender insulation, heated seats, auto dimming rear view mirror, wide angle rear view camera (G4), rear fold down arm rest with cup holders and even the way the shifter feels going into gear is much smoother. The updates are amazing in making this car feel more substantial. I got the Light Gray interior which adds a level of class to the interior and will be adding the Mitsubishi Center Console Armrest for $138.95 (my 2015 had it installed). The room inside the G4 is unreal, its huge and the trunk is cavernous!!! I also love the dark chrome alloy wheels and matching front grill. This paint color (Wine Red) is so unique and classy looking. I had no issues with my 2015 and only traded for the upgrades and the deal I got on this 2017 Top Trim G4 SE. It was $18,115.00 and I got it for $12,714.00 at Renn Kirby Mitsubishi in Frederick MD you should really check out their deals! If you do be sure to see Tommy Moberly he sold us our 2016 Outlander Sport GT and our 2017 Mirage G4 SE and was amazing. While driving in town the ride is much more quiet and takes bumps with less of a thud and the idle is 50% smoother and quieter. The seats feel extra stuffed and the material is for sure much more premium feeling. The Apple Car Play alone is one of my favorite features and props to Mitsubishi for incorporating that!!! Mitsubishis are very reliable and they have been making 3 cylinder engines forever and they will last a very long time with cheap maintenance. Keep up the good work Mitsubishi because I am impressed with the updated 2017 model Mirage and Mirage G4!!!

I bought a 2017 Mirage G4 400 miles ago and am completely satisfied. The milage is unreal... coming from a Nissan truck... I filled up after 300 miles with $19.75 of gas.. and ran it all the way down to see what would happen.. the gas gauge (whole thing) flashes in its final gasps. I didn't run out of gas though.. and think I had a gallon left. Road noise a little loud.. drives like a very small car but still.. for my new commuter it's GREAT! Again, coming from a truck, it handles very nicely.. agile.. and I love the reliable BT connection and it DOES play my podcasts on Audio Blu-Ray disk format (or through phone). It remembers where I left off! Other cars do NOT. I average 38mpg. 38mpg x 9 gallons = 342 miles. More than my 21 gallon truck that's for sure! Roomy and spacious.. like the Tardis.. it just looks so SMALL from the outside. Trunk huge too. Super happy. Time will tell on reliability but I have a lifetime powertrain warranty. Bought it at 8000 miles.

I purchased the G4 SE in Sapphire Blue. If you are going to go with this car, get the better model- it is well worth the price. I am a small person so the size doesn't bother me. It doesn't have alot of power, so be prepared to drive carefully. Since I drive like a granny anyway, this doesn't bother me. The interior is very comfortable, and I am so excited that the android car app sycs to my Pandora and GOOGLE maps. We live in Minnesota. I love my new car!

I'm a young driver, 21 to be exact and live in GA. I do a lot of driving. I've had the vehicle for 11 months and I'm at 21k. Brakes are amazing but they are pretty rough if you have to do a quick stop. Gas mileage is gorgeous. Transmission maybe starting to do its dirty work. This is an automatic and when im on a hill it does the slight roll back then go .. literally that just started but I've also had one other person driving my car and they are a pretty rough driver. I really do not fill this car would do me any justice in accident. Everything is paneled and plastic. I took a dent out of my car with my bare hands. Just treat the car like its a Benz or BMW and it should last you.

As a young adult buying my first brand new car, I was attracted to this car solely for its price tag. It's super affordable, both in terms of buying brand new and in gas savings, but definitely nothing special. For a tiny 3 cylinder engine, it accelerates pretty well. For being so light, it definitely doesn't get blown around quite as much as the comparable hatchbacks. However, the interior is very cheap and far from stylish. Lots of space between the seats, and the center console is in a very awkward place and might as well be nonexistent. The touch screen radio isn't very bright, so it is difficult to see even when turned up all the way during the day. Eco boost kicks on at the most random times and makes the car feel as though acceleration is slipping. A decent purchase for first time new car owners, but probably not the best investment if you're looking for a car you'll love driving for many, many years.

The updates are amazing in making this car feel more substantial. I got the Light Gray interior which adds a level of class to the interior. I added a center console arm rest, color keyed bodyside moldings, side fender turn signals to go with side mirror turn signals, chrome exhaust tip, extra piano black trim around center console and air vents, chrome trim mind you all Mitsubishi Parts. I also added weather tech mats and got my windows tinted 20% and it looks so nice. The room inside the G4 is unreal, its huge and the trunk is cavernous!!! I also love the dark chrome alloy wheels and matching front grill. This paint color (Wine Red) is so unique and classy looking. I had no issues with my 2015 and only traded for the upgrades and the deal I got on this 2017 Top Trim G4 SE. It was $18,115.00 and I got it for $12,714.00 at Renn Kirby Mitsubishi in Frederick MD. My sales guy was Tommy Moberly and he was awsome! He responded to all my text and email fast and even after hours. If you do stop in to Renn Kirby you need see him. We purchased 2 vehicles from him and could not be happier! We absolutely love our 2016 Outlander Sport GT and 2017 Mirage G4 SE!!! While driving in town the ride is much more quiet and takes bumps with less of a thud and the idle is 50% smoother and quieter. The seats feel extra stuffed and the material is for sure much more premium feeling. The Apple Car Play alone is one of my favorite features and props to Mitsubishi for incorporating that!!! Keep up the good work Mitsubishi because I am impressed with the updated 2017 model!!! I will not drive anything but a Mitsubishi and will only purchase it from Tommy Moverly at Renn Kirby!!! The Mirages truly are great little cars and my coworker has had hers almost 3 years now and she loves it as well. They are fun, reliable, have a uniqe 3 cylinder, get awsome mpg and are feature packed and the prices with rebates and sales are unbeatable.

Maybe because the particular car I was given had sat in a warehouse for an undetermined amount of time, but I am not thrilled with this car in the least. It is LOUD, the engine, however good on gas mileage it is, makes noise - a lot. All the time. It feels like the car is going to explode when you accelerate. It has some pep to it once you've reached freeway speeds but don't attempt to perform any overtaking maneuvers or creep onto the freeway - this car cannot handle it. The engine is so loud that you have to drive around with the volume pretty high on your stereo just to drown it out. Speaking of the radio - it turns off without warning. Having the car for 7 months, I've figured out that it doesn't like being hot - you can't park it somewhere on a warm day or in direct sunlight and expect the radio to turn on when you return to your car. If you are out running errands - let's say you go to the gas station, then the grocery store, then pick up your kids, then go to a park...by the 3rd time you turn the ignition, the radio will not come on. It's dead for HOURS. I've done this several times and sat in traffic for up to 90 minutes with no radio. In addition to that, the gas gauge isn't accurate. I've filled the tank up on numerous occasions and watched 20-40 miles disappear on the digital display after driving less than ten miles total. I don't feel safe in this car, it's like driving a soda can. There are better cars available for the money.

Didn't like Mitsubishi before buying one but got a great price. The engine and cabin noise is loud and struggles uphill but great reliability options and gas mileage. I use for stop and go and short commutes and it's perfect. If you take alot of long trips it may get uncomfortable for you. The SE version is nice with the touchscreen, bluetooth, and digital climate control and the trunk is big for a small car. Just had to get my first tire they are a little hard to find on the SE model but not impossible. The ES model tires are different. Most of the people I call can hear me fine on the bluetooth but some can't hear me over the cabin noise but that's rare.

So I got the car 2017 Dec and by the first 4 months I had to take back and get the rear brakes rejusted 2 times then about April they needed to be done again the guy from the dealership refused to rejuste them again till my next oil change so I kept driving then by September 10 I was going 45mph seen a car stopped to make a left turn so I hit the brakes my brakes completely failed I could not stop hit the rear end of the other car some how ended up in the center of the road and got Tboned back side of the driver's it knocked the back door all the way to the center console knocked me out in the accident and Broke my right femer bone and had to have a rod placed in my leg after the accident overall I think and truly believe the safety needs to be looked at again all the way around before it gets bad and someone dies I've had a lot of people look at the photos and tell me I'm lucky to be alive someone even asked if the car caught on fire as bad as it was

Car unsafe. It was in park gear, ignition off, key out of ignition. I'm in the house with key. And car rolls across street hits neibours shed.. It a new car 7,000 miles!. I realize then something is wrong with ignition, that radio goes off, . And Drive column doesn't lock. I call manufacturer complaint. They will not help. I go to dealer . They won't even look at car. They want to charge me to check it!. Where was the warranty on a new car!. I drive 1 1/2 hours to other dealer. They know I'm coming. I get there. They refuse to fix car. And want to charge me to check it!. I'm furious. Finally manager tells them to check it. They had no regards for anyone's safety, the car went in reverse by it's self in park position with no key in it.. Could of killed someone walking behind. Or my kids if in the car.. I had many calls and to the point of screaming, dealing with there nasty car dealers.. they fix it after on the second time, (oh then they write nothing wrong with it). 6hrs of my drivering to them. Many calls to there complaint department. Oh let's not forget I had to pay to fix my neibours shed. .They dont honor the warranty. I bought a new vehicle expecting that. I will never buy another Mitsubishi. Horrible customer service relation.

I'm 5'7" tall and the driver seat doesn't go back far enough to be in a relaxed position so I get pain in my knee and hip. I'm actually average height so this should've been accounted for when making the car. A couple of times I had to put the back of my seat all the way back just so I can position myself better for my legs but then I had no back support. When the back windows are rolled down it is incredibly loud and sounds and feels like the car is going off the side of the road driving on the bumps that lets you know you are off road and shakes the car, it's creepy the first time I thought it was the tires going flat but nope just the back window was down. No Cruise control! The rear backup camera is always wrong and objects seem way farther then they actually are so watch for that. No frills on the screen so if wanted to use navigation from my phone it won't show it on the screen, other than the camera just a waste of technology! Oh and 14" tires! Doesn't handle turns and corners well at All!! Plus tire stores no longer carry them and you have to special order them.. also it makes the drive feel unstable and rocking side to side and no weight to the car. I call her my putt putt or golf cart cuz she is slow to accelerate also it's an automatic but acts like a manual transmission so it revs up rpms and I have to take my foot off the gas so it can shift...often. so I have to spend an extra 1000.00 for all new wheels and tires, another 315.00 to get the actual key/fob cuz carvana only gave me a valet key and just for good stability I need to put 15's for tires luckily I won't have to do any kind of lift however The dealership wants to charge me 2000.00 for wheels and tires. Discount tire said 1000.00 and they have the same warranty as Mitsubishi does. But I love the sedan look she is great on gas even with the A/C on but the engine does always sound rough.

It reminds me of a 1999 dodge neon I'll edit if the paint starts chipping and flaking off the roof, but that's really the best way to describe this car, a 16 year old neon, same plastic interior, same engine sound, same cramped driver space. There are 3 good things about this car, the price, the gas mileage, and the warranty, that's it. It's better than walking, taking the bus, or calling Uber or Lyft to get around, but something tells me I should have saved more money or waited until tax return time to get a better car, but for my situation, it's what I had to get. Didn't think about how it'll drive in the snow if it's a bad winter, but we'll see. A good first car for someone definitely not speeding around in this.

I love my car but I have problems I have been back to my dealer five times about my radio it keeps turning off and won't come back on. The apple car play made my phone shut off and my phone won't come back on. My radio has been replaced twice I have only had my car for five months. So every month I have to drive almost two hours to get them to fix it. I have warranty thank God. The gas mileage is great in town suck on interstate. The car hates hills and when it has to go up one it sucks a lot of gas. I do know that a apple car play radio system needs to come out of these cars cause they are crap
