This is a great car with the fuel effieciency of a Honda Civic performance just like any other car if not better (it only weighs a ton, exactly). Mine is a 1994 with 130,000 miles still great except brake light keeps on coming up for no reason now. I would like to note that this is my fathers car soon to be mine and he drives it really hard hes kind of a reckles driver. He pushes this car to the limits and beets most cars on the limit line at an green light.

This is a good car for commuting. It is comfortable, reliable and economical. It handles well in adverse weather conditions.

I bought this car when it was 8 months old fo a very decent price. It's good basic transportation but nothing more. It will get you to work and back with no major drama. Once it gets up to speed, it isn't bad, but it is very slow off the line. So slow, it can be dangerous. Drive it until it dies, because it has no resale value. Quality of materials is very cheap. I see 2-3 year old Mirages with the paint peeling off or very faded. I wax mine 3 times/year and so far I am lucky.

Gets you from A to B

I got this used with 36,000 miles on it. The car has good exterior styling, but the inside feels cheap. The seats, sun visors, air filters. The sound system is not that great. The door is too heavy. The car is very slow, so it gets decent gas mileage. It seems fairly reliable, and gets me from A to B without much problems. The wheel size is small, so the tires don't cost much either. I got this car because I got a good deal on it...Otherwise, I'd have chosen something more fun to drive...like the Mazda Protege I have had.

very reliable and an excellent design for a coupe type but the engine needed an extra additional boost to make-it powerful on the road among it class.

Over all this is a good car. I drove it for a little over 3 years when I traded it in for something larger. Very dependable.

i bought my 2002 mirage ls to replace my '95 neon. the mirage is a great affordable car for college with plenty of sport. this car is cheap and reliable and i don't feel like i should be picking up the kids from soccer practice in it. great car for college, i intend to keep this for a long time. also has very eager acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine. fully loaded and very attractive.

I Hate This Car

I purchased my Mirage seven months ago. I think this car is slow. The interior layout is nice, but is very small. I can only have one passenger with me or it is very uncomfortable. Do not buy this car.
