I wanted a reliable, super fuel efficient, easy to drive and park car,with a great warranty and with low insurance. The Mirage has all of that and looks great too! It doesnt look like every other car on the road and its easy to find in any parking lot as long as you dont park it next to a pickup LOL This car turns on a dime. stops great, handles well enough to be fun,and loves to sneak around traffic! The engine sips gas and I love the 5 speed manual transmission too. The only things I dont like is the lack of a light in the glove box and the lack of an outside temp gauge, thats it! The room inside the back with the rear seats down is pretty damn big and the front seats for me are pretty damn comfy, Im 5 ft 8 and fit just right in this car! There is some truth in some road noise on the highway with the stock Dunlop tires, but its not overpowering and the new radio for 2018 takes care of the noise anyway! I can honestly say that I really like this car,it ndoes everything more than well enough for my needs, to take me wherever I want and cheaply too!

I have had this car for 3 years no problems whatsoever. Averaging 45 mpg, 48 k miles, tires still in good shape. If I need another vehicle I would buy a Mitsubishi UPDATE: 80k miles and not a single problem, this vehicle has been flawless since new. Comfortable and averages 46 mpg. The a/c will freeze you out even in hot Louisiana summers. The only complaint is it does have some road noise at highway speeds.

These professional reviewers kill me. It's a three cylinder engine, of course it is not going to be fast!! Not everyone needs to do 0 - 60 in 5 seconds! The base model is more than adequate in every way for this price point. Perfect little car for going from point a to b. I bought this coming from a Mustang Gt and can't wait to experience the fuel savings. Had a fair amount of quality issues with that car. Plus the warrant is so much better than Ford's.
Just what I expected & not a single problem!

Unless you like to accelerate hard and make a lot of sudden high speed maneuvers, the Mirage lacks nothing in performance: easy to keep up with traffic, stops very well and is quiet and comfortable for this class of car. Had it up to 100mph (verified on GPS) and passenger thought we were doing 80. And it is lots of fun in tight places! Super warranties and low purchase price. I drove highway miles in east central Illinois, where it can be very windy, with no problems. Shopping around is always a good idea, but I bought this because it has a three cylinder engine like a motorcycle I used to own! After 5+ years and over 44k miles there is nothing significant I would change about the car that would also be cost effective. I am driving more in town now and the mileage has gone up slightly! Still fun to drive. Mitsubishi warranty is better than Honda, Toyota, etc.: 5 years 100k! After 5+ years and 44k miles not a single thing has gone wrong!! Not even a bulb or a loose screw, NOTHING at all! For me such reliability is way more important than high horsepower, big tires, etc. Five+ years now and still no problems of any kind. Warranty expired with zero issues, never needed it! Tires (had 185/16-14 installed, these rotate 859 times per mile vs. 899 stock, requires a 4.6% correction at the speedometer and odometer) and routine maintenance only expenses so far. Gas mileage low 40's all in town. After 6-1/2 years and 48k miles still no issues to report. Still has original battery. Don't drive much anymore, mileage high 30's on short trips in town only. Seven years, three months and 50,100 miles same story: no problems, still love it. Might get a battery just to be proactive. Seven years, nine months 52,600 miles same story: no problems*, (52,616 miles on 1,315 gallons of gas = 40.01 mpg, gotta love it). *one self inflicted problem: way overfilled tank by accident caused fuel gauge to be stuck on FULL for a few weeks. Dealer wanted ~$400 to replace a "purge valve". Resolved itself after weather warmed up. Eight years two months and ~54,000 miles still getting 40+ MPG and nothing has gone wrong.

Low cost of operation

It's not a fancy car, but a practical car. The "expert" reviews failed to recognize the best feature of this car - low cost of operation. First you get 43 to 46 miles per gallon. Couple that with it's 5 year bumper to bumper warranty it makes sense for buyers who need low cost of operations this includes young adults starting out, college students, and commuters. Not having to worry about a major repair bill in the first 60 months compared to 36 months in a GM, Ford, or Honda is a big plus. It is the best bargain out there. You can get I into an Base ES with CVT, blue tooth and fog lights for $12.5k-$12.9k with the rebate. That translates into a $230 car payment (60 month). When my daughter's used car was in need of replacement our first thought was to buy a low mileage use car, but having a vehicle without a warranty would require buying an extended warranty. i never considered Mitshubisi, but when I learned that they had a 5 year warranty we decided to look at the Mirage.
