another update: Lots of additional miles, no problems & consistent 42+ MPG in a mix of driving situations. Dollar for dollar, this is probably the best automotive value I have ever owned. Nothing exciting about this car unless squeezing every mile possible out of each penny in a surprisingly comfortable, utterly reliable little sedan excites you. We remain Very pleased with our G4. UPDATE in June 2020: car continues to exceed expectations. After a job change, I needed a commuter for a 52 mile round trip to work. The G4 has been great. No repairs, low maintenance costs for the first 30K + miles & fuel economy over 40 mpg in a barrier mix of urban, suburban stop and go & highway driving. While the car is a bit loud when driving at highway speeds and when accelerating, this issue is offset by comfortable seating and a great ride quality for an economy car. We are very happy with our Mirage G4 SE. We wanted a car to run errands locally and (very rarely) to take an 80 mile round trip to visit relatives. We also needed the car to fit a tight parking situation & have a trunk that can hold a folding wheelchair. After looking at the Versa (dreadful unless optioned heavily) & the Yaris sedan (pretty good), we drove the G4 SE. The car rides better than the competition on typical suburban streets and has very comfortable seats. The SE trim includes upgraded seats and fabric as well as a driver’s armrest. The exterior is simple, but attractive. The pearl whit paint on ours is quite nice. The upgraded alloy wheels on the SE also look good and come with larger tires than the ES trim level. Acceleration is slow unless you really stand on the gas pedal. The engine drones during moderate acceleration but takes on a surprising growl above about 4100 RPM. I have no trouble getting up to speed on short on ramps, but highway passing requires a bit of advanced planning because 50 to 70 MPH acceleration is pretty slow. Fuel consumption is awesome: I average 41 MPG in mixed driving and have seen 50+ MPG during extended highway driving. Visibility is great, the headlights are strong and the wipers are effective and provide coverage of nearly the whole windshield. Snow traction is very good and during the brutal cold of last winter, the car had no trouble starting at -22 f and the heat was adequate even at arctic temps. The A/C is great too. I like the car much more after one year than I did when I first bought it. No problems/repairs for the first year and maintenance is cheap. Overall, great value for the money—we couldn’t be more pleased.

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.

39.7 miles per gallon I'm averaging. Plenty of room for all 4 of us and I'm a pretty large guy. Great cargo room. Excellent features. A highly underrated car. For this price and with the gas savings it's a no brainer imo.

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.

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.

It’s small and not much storage but I drive 80 miles a day round trip for work I drove a big Chevy truck costing me $125.00 a week in gas now I’m spending $ 35.00 a week the ride is great comfortable I’m tall so a little hard to see red lights if pull up to far but all my tools fit and my son it handles amazing turns on a dime and stops really quickly it’s not a fast off the line car but it is real responsive at interstate speed and I have no regrets about size and power down grade from my big V8 truck especially when I’m getting on interstate at 70 mph 58 mpg and in town avg 45 mph at 66 mpg

Do NOT listen to the “professional “ reviews. Take one out for a test and YOU BE THE JUDGE! It is NOT as gutless as they want you to believe. I drive the Interstate 300 miles every week. Click her into sport mode before the on ramp and you are there! Yes. It’s true. MSRP is close to a Versa. The good news? NOBODY pays MSRP for a Mirage. Check out Cade at Long Lewis Muscle Shoals Alabama for the best car buying experience of YOUR LIFE. I’m not kidding people.

I do not see a problem with pick up but then I do not go over 70 often and if I am passing it is not normally that fast. I love the phone hook up with usb port, the cam for backing up, and how high up I am when driving. My sonata had me so low to the ground. And the mileage is almost or just as good as my expensive sonata hybrid.
Great car

Despite the bad reviews about it being noisy, I like how the car sounds and rumbles. I even named it rumbles due to that. It is small, efficient, handles great and if you know how to drive it, it isnt THAT slow. Amazing car.

I will say I haven’t owned the car long yet, but Mitsubishi will give you 3-4k off the MSRP just for looking at it, I got mine brand new out the door with oil changes for life included from the dealer for 11k. The handling is often cited as poor because of the body roll, but I’ve pushed it pretty hard and never worried about losing traction, the handling is actually surprisingly predictable in spite of the soft suspension, I actually consider the soft suspension a pro because bumps don’t feel like an assault on your spine like they do in many subcompact cars. The car is reasonably tall and the seating position is pretty high, it’s easy to get in and out of compared to most small cars I’ve driven. The 1.2 isn’t fast by any means, but with the 5 speed I’ve had no problem keeping up with traffic, the engine is surprisingly peppy and responsive, and I’ve had no issue with large hills. You can get 2nd gear up to 50 without issue, but I’ve yet to find a hill I can’t climb in 4th gear traffic allowing. The gas milage is phenomenal, I’ve averaged over 55mpg on freeway trips when I take it easy. The back seat is large enough that I haven’t had any complaints and even going to this from my 91 Cadillac Deville, I don’t feel cramped. This car wouldn’t win any competitions in any single category, but overall, it’s probably the best bang for your buck you’ll find!

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.

If you like high fuel economy, reliability and a super easy car to drive, this is it. 50 M.P.G. average. It is affordable, fun in its own way and even relaxing. Everything is light. It’s almost as if Japan built a bigger Kei car and sold it in the U.S. It’s as if anime came alive and wound up as this type of car. It has its own character. It’s actually nicer than you would think. Even this base model is so cool. Power everything, A/C, back-up camera, hill-start assist, touch-screen media. It even has Easter eggs (those interesting details). The back seat on the passenger side has a hook to hold a grocery bag or something not too heavy. The driver’s armrest flips back and makes another cup holder for the rear passengers. It has 7 cup holders. I love hill start assist (no more rolling backwards when letting out the clutch). The power is actually good. I’m shocked. The fuel economy is better than a Ford Fiesta SFE 1.0 w/manual I owned. In many ways the Mirage G4 is better than that car because everything is so light and easy to use. It’s super comfortable. You don’t fight anything with this car, it just works. No turbo, no excess.

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.

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.

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

Dealer pulled a new car out the lot. I wanted it in white. I wanted to drive around the neighborhood, no highway because this would be my regular commute. I'm about 250 lbs and dealer was about the same weight. When I take my foot off the gas, car just stops. Hmm... We took another one and the same effect. I don't know how people write about this car, like this is almost BMW. I think you should try it yourself, don't trust 5 star reviews. This can be scam. I go with Yaris and I will never look back!
