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.

This car sips gas!!!!
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.

Down sized for fuel economy
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.

Great so far I hope it will be great till the end
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.

Great little 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!

A no-brainer purchase. Love it. 50 MPG!
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.

Have owned for 5 months
Though this engine works best on premium and mid grade unleaded gas I can say that I am very happy with this vehicle. I can run this all day and not worry about maintenance issues in the long term.

Has no power for two passengers
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!
