1995 Mitsubishi Mirage LS 2dr Coupe

I've had my Mirage for 5 years now. The worst things that happened are the fact that the motor and the transmission died on me at the same time. The starter died on me too and it took me months to find someone who could fix it. The starter is in an akward location, so it wasn't very easy to fix. The new transmission has the tendency to slip sometimes and cause the car to cut shortly after you put it in gear. Not very much room in the trunk or backseats if you are toting a baby around like me. This could be an isolated incident because I drove the heck out of my Mirage all the time. Nevertheless, I'm selling it for something with more room.
Great gas, engine/timing belt bad

This was a really dependable car, and required nothing except regular oil, filter, spark, tire changes until about 150k when I had to replace the clutch, timing belt, and master cylinder all around the same time. Now it's 250k and reached the end of its life.

1996 Mitsubishi Mirage S 4dr Sedan
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
For most of my life, 16 years, this 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage sedan has been with my family. We call her Gert (short for Gertrude) and she's been the most dependable car anyone can ask for. She's 18 years old with over 303 thousand miles on her and she's just now starting to go. Her transmission is still great, her engine is too, mostly. The only problem is that now she's leaking oil. (once more, after 18 years of relatively heavy use). If you're thinking about buying one, do. It'll be one of the best investments of your life
