I am sorely tired of reading all of the "professional" reviews on the 2017 Mirage....enough already! It's the mob mentality...pile on! The car is perfect for what it was designed for...plain, excellent mpg, tremendous warranties...that's it! No, not going to beat even an old person pushing a walker off the line...won't happen. Won't ever be confused with the lavish interior of a Lexus or Infiniti...stupid to think it would! Is it cheaply made (to a point) and have doors that are very light and non-substantial...yep! Is the handling on par with the Porche and Mercedes? Don't expect that to happen! BUT, does it get exceptional mpg? I got 46 mpg my first tank of gas....was amazed...middle of winter in MN! Does it come with the industry-leading warranty? Better than Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Chevy, and Ford....Yes! Does it cost a king's ransom? No! You can easily (relatively) own this car new off the showroom floor and enjoy a decade of powertrain coverage, and, depending on the miles you drive....maybe even a decade of bumper-to-bumper coverage...unheard of! If you intent is to be from point A to point B with the least possible cost, both in mpg and cost of ownership then this is your vehicle! Unpretentious, not overpriced, full of value...that's what the Mirage was made to do and it delivers in SPADES! So, all you snotty "professional" reviewers go take a hike! Too bad Mitsubishi isn't paying you exorbitantly to overrate their vehicle like Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc. Show some integrity...call it like it is! I know REAL jobs are hard to come by but persevere, maybe Mitsubishi will hire you to detail and prep the new Mirages to sell...it would be Karma at it's best! I love my Mirage....no payments, fantastic mpg, industry-leading warranty, and, I'll pass most cars by as they refuel at the gas station! Mirage Nation unite!

I paid $9299 for a brand new Mirage ES (manual) with added bluetooth/center armrest), & it was delivered to my driveway from a dealership that was over 200 miles (neighboring state) from my home. We did the paperwork on my kitchen table. "Out the door price" was $10,153.73 (including everything - tax, title, new WI plates, etc...) If I were a veteran or current Mitsubishi owner, I would have qualified for two more rebates. Originally, I was considering a slightly used Yaris, Fit, or Mazda2. None of those cars would have given me a 5-year/60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, & an added lifetime/unlimited mileage dealership powertrain warranty. Plus, I have no worries about how my car has been taken care of from day one. It's amazing how far a 9.2 gallon tank of gas will take you. For a small car the Mirage handles nicely. It ability to absorb bumps and potholes is amazing. Strong winds do blow it around some, but otherwise it handles great! The 5 speed manual shifts smoothly, & it's fun to drive. 78 hp is plenty of power for a car this size. I like the fact that this car is a little outside the norm. Some professional auto reviewers are missing the purpose of this vehicle. It's a simple design/platform that gets the job done very efficiently. Compare the customer review ratings (KBB for example) of the top 10 selling cars in the US & the Mirage. People who own a Mirage are very happy with their purchase. Update: It' been almost 2 years of ownership & 28,000+ miles later, & I am still very happy with my Mirage. If you are looking for an affordable, reliable, & economical 4-door hatchback, the Mirage is a great choice to consider. Update to my update: 5-years of ownership now & over 70,000 miles. I have zero regrets in purchasing this car. It's been super reliable & very economical to drive. Sadly, the great deals on new ones have disappeared. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a used one with a 5-speed manual transmission. Update 2025 - Still enjoying my Mirage. I hope to drive it for 15-20 years!

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.
