Used 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage Consumer Reviews

Don't purchase!!!!!!

I commute daily in this vehicle and in my opinion it's very unsafe to drive on the freeway. The steering wheel locks up and sways very easily if the weather is a bit windy, that coupled together with a steering wheel that continuously locks up and is stiff makes for a very unsettling drive. This car does NOT accelerate easily and my commute is very noisy. I bought this car because the price was right and it gets great gas mileage but if I'd known then what I know now I would NOT have purchased this vehicle. Also the interior is cheap. The handle that's above the driver's side window is loose and a screw came out. I've only had the car a little over a year. If you're considering purchasing this vehicle PLEASE reconsider!!!!!

great little car if you drive it till it dies.

i bought my Mirage, brand new, for size, the economy, price and mpg. 2015 and just traded it off today with 115k miles on it. in that time. i went from 45 mpg, to an average of 33 mpg, still not bad. size was great when i had 3 little kids. we just out grew the little car. a teenager will do that.....lol. the 3 years of ownership the tranny went out at 90k miles. that sucked, i didnt get stranded, thank God, dealership honored the 100k warranty and replaced the transmission. thanks!. and the alternator went out, shortly after, OUCH. all out of pocket. alternator cost $600 just for the part. not so economical. the mechanic suggested i get rid of the car. Today i traded the mirage for an Outlander. They gave me 3k for the car, at a Mitsubishi dealership. disappointing.

Great car

My adult son called it a clown car

Had the Mirage for a week as a rental. Engine is noisy and buzzy. If you need to pass with the A/C on you had better get a running start. Handling wallowed on expressway off ramps. Driving position very uncomfortable. Two airline size carry on's would not fit in trunk they had to rest in the back seat. My Corolla gets 7 mpg less but I would take over the Mirage anytime. I wouldn't recommend this car to my worst enemy!

Don't waste your money!

I bought the car in 2015 right off the lot. 37000 miles later there is a noise that we have recored multiple times, but they can't seem to figure it out. I have had my car less than 2 weeks in the past 6 weeks as they have had it.....they pretty much told me they cant do anything if it gets worse take it back in.......Was told if my care blows up just call roadside assistance. Sold the Piece of crap in 2017 and lucky I did....heard it had many issues after that as well......guess I wasn't crazy

The bad news about mirage...............

While in road trip, while riding 2 250 LB, 1 200 lb in rear passager, 2 150 LB front, 200 LB cargo. Very accelerate slow and suspension may not hold that weight while heavy braking.

About average

This car needs enhancement and improvement: horsepower, torque, rims, and suspension. They are sluggish to accelerate highway with pulling 500 LB trailer and stock suspension too bouncy.

Best car I've ever had I'm 55.

I bought this car new in 2015 for 12k. My car now has 155000 trouble free miles on it and has a lifetime mpg of 48. Yes I have tracked every mile and fill up. I commute an hour every day and this car has never been in the shop, not once. Tires brake pads oil changes only. Great college or commuter car.

80K Problem Free Miles

My 2015 Mirage has needed nothing other than factory scheduled maintenance and new brake pads at 62k miles. Fuel economy has taken a slight hit but I'm still averaging over 40mpg on the highway. After 7.5 years and 80k miles this car has given me zero problems.

I miss my Santa Fe!

I'm the second owner, but the 1st was my ex, so I've been with the car since it was new. Almost 90k miles later, everything is crapping out. The radiator is shot, the tires are missing hubs and routinely throw TPS errors (on brand-new tires, mind you) and I ended up getting 2 oil changes in the space of a month. That's $100+ per oil change because of the full synthetic recommendation! Plus, I cannot do my own oil changes (something extremely important to me). As a low income individual, I also don't appreciate the markup for the hard to find parts for this rolling death-trap. Will be getting rid of it as soon as my finances allow!

Nooo no way

Horrible terrible on gas I pay gas every other day don’t waist your time even looking in to this car haven’t had the car for a year yet and already have issue with transmission and altinator and change the battery 3 time it’s just terrible
