Used 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage Coupe Consumer Reviews
My favorite car (by a wide margin)!
I bought this car brand new & have owned it for 12 yrs. In that time it has had all regular maintenance done according to the owner's manual, & I've had 0 problems with it. The car drives as nice 12 years later as the day I bought it. I'm up to 133,000 miles & would drive this car anywhere in the country with confidence. I've owned a Galant (replaced the Galant; I wanted a manual transmission & Galants no longer came in them), Prelude, & currently also own a 1969 Mini Cooper (classic version as opposed to a new 1), & this is by far my favorite car to drive (even with the fun appeal that the Mini has). Of the cars I own, this 1 handles the best, is 100% reliable, & averages 40+ mpg.
2000 Mirage Rating
Purchased my Mirage because of round trip to and from work distance of 60 miles. That's 300 miles a week. Gas milage is excellent. Have over 110,000 miles without any mechanical problems. Have even took car on vacations with my five member family. Two adults three kids.
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
Awesome!!
I bought my Mirage in '02 used, had 31k on it and have LOVED it. It now has 120k on it and will I drive it till it falls apart. It has beautiful gas usage and plenty of get up and go. The only problem I have had is the A/C compressor chirps.
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.
