no problems
I got the car in 2000 and have not had any real problems except having to replace the battery, but that was expected after four years. If you keep up with maintenance, as you should, getting a mirage is a good idea, but the resale value is very low. Tighten your nuts and bolts every so often, can get a little creaky
Excellent Small Car
I have owned my Mirage for over 3 years and have never had a problem with it. Mitsubishi makes some excellent cars but are still relatively unknown by alot of people-quality wise, they are just as well built as any Toyota or Honda out there but are $1000's less. They give you far more for your money.Unfortunatly the resale value is poor-I think it is because many people are not convinced they are as good as a Honda or Toyota but for the money-I think they are better! Anyone who buys one will agree.
Mirage no more....
This car was not what I expected. After actually being in it for a time period, it is very small and uncomfortable. I have also had to replace the dash which quit working all together(speedometer, odometer, gas gague, and temp. gague.)only a year after purchased, and both rear hubb assemblies this past summer. I would not buy one again.
Survived thanks to my Mirage
Hmm, just ran across this website. To let you all know, I just survived a run in with TWO 18 wheelers on a very major highway. My little Mirage withheld the impact of TWO, yes TWO 18- wheelers spinning me around on the highway. I take some offense to those who say the car is built poorly. I will miss my car, which is obviously totaled. Now to deal with the unfortunate resale value my insurance company is going to offer me. Well, with the money, I don't mind buying another Mirage if I had to.
Good value for the money
Good, reliable vehicle on a budget! I drove a Civic for 10 years, until suffering sticker shock last summer when replacing. The Mirage, with its "Civic feel" has comfortable seats, good acceleration (113 HP) even with automatic, and handles extremely well in snow. Powerful A/C, heater, defroster, and stainless steel exhaust system. My '94 Mirage STILL has its original exhaust system and I live in the salt belt. As for MPG, expect 33-35.
