The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the cheapest cars you can buy new n the united states, but that doesn't mean its a crappy econobox as some people might think. It is well equipped with standard features, like power windows, locks, bluetooth, automatic climate control, traction control, stability control, and more. The car isn't going to blow anybody away with performance, comfort, or refinement. What will impress you, however, is its gas mileage and overall quality. Sure, there are time when you are reminded that you have a cheap car. For example, the interior plastics are rough, but this helps durability and keep the cost down. Also, the exterior styling isn't going to get you noticed; however with the bright paint colors available, it can stand out from the crowd. The leg and head room in the front is great, and i'm 6'1". Getting in and out of it is easy. The rear space is great for city driving, however i wouldn't want to be back there for a long trip. The cargo room when the rear seats are up is enough for getting groceries, and with the rear seats down, i've managed to get a 50" tv in the back. It has been very reliable, with almost no repairs needed. I have a short three mile drive to work, twice a day, 5 day a week, and it has been two months since i last refilled the tank.Excellent fuel economy. In conclusion, the Mitsubishi Mirage is a great buy for almost anybody on a budget, who just needs simple means of getting from point a to b.

Overall, a great fuel saver and a fun little ride. Some complain about the CVT and its "growing" or sounding like "an angry vacuum," but I enjoy its capabilities in the mountains and highway riding. Driving easy (45-55 mph under 3000 rpm) I average between 45 and 55 mpgs. Next to my old 2002 Cavalier 2.4, this is my favorite fuel efficient car to drive. If I didn't have payments left on a Jeep Patriot (CVT also) I'd get a second one of these. Only downfall is sudden braking with curves, but a good driver will not present them self with this issue.

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!

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.
