The gas mileage is CRAZY GOOD!!! It handles so smooth on the road. If you drive fast as I do, it will surprise you. Don't underestimate it's ability to keep up with other large cars on the road. I purchased a base model thinking that it would not have the bells and whistles but once again I was wrong. But It just looks so good sitting in the parking lot. I am so happy..my birthday gift to myself.

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.

Great car if you are on a budget, want to save on fuel, need a BASIC car (power options, automatic and AC), building or rebuilding credit, daily vehicle. If looking for a tire burner or rocket launch quarter mile: try a corvette or high end Audi. If looking for perfect comfort: please go to Cadillac/Lincoln. Please do NOT buy if have high expectations. Hatchback ES automatic, power options and hands free kit should be around $12K +/-, slow start at green light, but once on high way it will go 80 mph in a breeze. I own a 500hp classic car, a super charged truck and wife’s fully loaded SUV.....I use the mirage on daily basis for work and IM VERY HAPPY overall.....Yes, there are better options on the $ range, but this is the cheapest and most fuel efficient available, its different and fun car. This car is NOT for everybody. always around 40 mpg on the clock combined.
