Hidden gem of the subcompact class

Great lil car! Perfect for city driving and does fine on the highway. I bought mine used @ 45k miles on it for $7600 out the door price. It saves me alot of $ in gas and I love the toy like styling of my kiwi green hatch. It only feels slow at green lights for a second then it really moves. MPG is great on longer trips around town about 40 mpg. Little short trips and the mpg is going to suffer a bit. I recommend getting a center console armrest from Amazon. Its fun to drive in its own way, like a go cart. Ride is like floating on a pillow. Very reliable vehicle, just stay on top of maintenance, which is easy and cheap. Proper fluid changes every 30k miles for the CVT is critical! Mitsubishi has done a better job preventing premature CVT failure than Nissan, even though they both use the Jatco CVT7. Theyre simply programmed better and the Mirage is way less taxing on the CVT7 than say a Nissan Cube or Juke. The engine is so simple with a timing chain making it extremely reliable. Simple car, simple repairs, less money out of your pocket. Highly recommend this car for subcompact lovers. Still a great ride!

We bought our 2014 in 2015 with 38,000 mIles on it. We now have 128,000 miles and still love this little car. Easy to find parking, easy to drive in town. Update, we now have 138,000 miles on the car and still going strong.

I was unsure of this car, but my husband liked the safety features, so I agreed to test drive it. I like the fact that I get such killer gas mileage, and it always starts right up! Plus it's easy to find a place to park. It's not real great on the freeway, but driving around town it's awesome. All in all, I would do it again.

I can’t find a reason to not love it

Wanted to learn a manual and after almost buying a junker Aveo to beat up on, I found my silver mirage at a steal at a local dealer (it’d been on his lot for a while apparently). A couple small dents and someone was clearly careless with loading/unloading the rear. But I didn’t mind. $2500 for a car that I get 45 mpg in with ac on regularly. Handles fantastic and unless I don’t quite nail my take off (doesn’t happen much these days) I have plenty of power. No issues aside from a rusty caliper bolt that I accidentally stripped (had to get a new caliper). Seems that parts are hard to come by so I may pick up some wear and tear stuff ahead of time online instead of at the dealer. I’m 6’5” and 215lbs. I’m sure I look a little funny getting in and out but I have plenty of room inside. I can reach the pedals without feeling cramped and visibility is great except the small rear window. I’ve owned many makes of vehicles now and this Mitsubishi is probably my favorite vehicle I’ve had so far. Will buy another for sure when/if this one has a repair not worth fixing. Don’t buy into the “expert reviews” absolutely fantastic car for the price. Love the keyless ignition and entry.

2018 Summer Had issues with front shock mounts. Hard to get the parts to fix it. Got rid of it and bought a 2013 Honda Fit Sport! 2018 February update: Everything fine except problem with the front brakes not working. There is a knock on both sides in the front. Tomorrow I will be taking the car to the mechanic because of two broken lug studs! Oh and I had to replace my bulbs in the front. 2017 August 16 Update 2: Managed to do 60.1 MPG stock! Can`t believe it! Update on trade for a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander: Will not trade in my 2014 Mirage car because this car devalues too fast! Is worth $2,000 in excellent condition. I checked blue book and black book! I didn`t know about Mitsubishi cars devalue. If I buy a 20,000 new Outlander it will be worth nothing in five years. Not worth it! I will keep my car for now. Possibly buy a used car or Mazda CX5/9 next year. Not paying for a new car again! 2017 August 4 Update: Almost 50,000 miles. I owe $4,000 left on the car. Never broke down except nail on a Potenza tire and busted shock absorbers because of pot holes. I have noted rust on bolts on the engine. Changed the rotors and breaks last month of July. Need to replace the wipers again. Those Bridgestone Potenza tires keep rolling! I am thinking of trading for a Outlander Sport! Installed Knight Rider light on the grill! The gas went up so $15 dollars to fill the tank! 2017 Update: I still have it. I owe $6,000 on the car. Still with the Bridgestone Potenza tires. New hitch that I installed from Etrailer and it was hard as hell to install! About $12 to fill the tank here in Georgia. Full synthetic oil changed by myself and new air Wix filter. Doing 41 mpg lately. Possibly because I took out the fuel saving crappy tires. Needed a cheap car that would save a lot of gas. Had to travel far in Georgia to find a Mitsubishi dealership. I was attracted by the 11,899 price from the Union City, Georgia Dealership on an internet website. That is the price of the White, Manual with nothing, after all the incentives which I didn`t qualify. I only got the $1,500 discount. They screwed up the price. After I saw the numbers and calculated well I was able to afford the Automatic CVT one. $600 to get another color/ NO $1,500 for the automatic Transmission/ YES I ended up with the Blue, Automatic CVT Transmission with Bluetooth. At the end I am getting 54.1 MPG instead of 44! The car has a horrible bouncing and looks like it is going to roll over with the regular tires. Today in 2016 changed to Bridgestone Potenza tires, aligment, front right shock absorber (should change all of them but no money.), right wheel cover, Pyle Dvd radio, seat covers, mirror on right sun visor, new wipers, dome light died too soon and a better jack. Installed from ebay some nice fog lights. Changed to leds on the low front lights! Tires at 38 psi. Nobody locally sells parts for the car. You have to special order from Mitsubishi.
