PROs -The interior room is surprising for a car this size passenger seats and cargo. -Fuel economy best for a subcompact car matches hybrids. -Affordable the price for this car is low and even lower with incentives. -Cheap to maintain very little oil is needed. -Small tire size which makes tire selection affordable. -Warranty is amazing for its class. -Good amount of options to choose from to fit anyone's needs. -CVT transmission is smooth and efficient. NEGATIVES -The 3 cyl engine struggles a lot passing other cars or when its on any kind of grade. -Noises you can hear everything the road and the wind. -There is nothing super fancy about this car it is kind of bland as far as styling is concerned. -The attention to detail and materials are no where present cheap plastic lots of gaps. -Options can pit this car into not worth it waters very easily get the bare minimum this is not a car to splurge on. FINAL IMPRESSIONS I'm going to drive it to see how long it last 3,000 miles so far not a single issue sometimes there's beauty in simplicity.

To all of the Mirage "Pro" review snobs!

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!

Perfect Little Car

We just purchased this car for my niece. Her first car she will be taking to college. I have had friends that owned Mitsubishi cars that were very reliable but, we were really concerned after reading the reviews on the mirage from professional reviewers. Based on consumer reviews we decided to go and test drive the Mirage and are very happy that we did. We ended up buying this brand new car for my niece for $11,933 and we could not be happier. I will update review later on reliability but all of the other issues that the professional reviewers pointed out are pretty much non existent or inconsequential when looking for a first time vehicle for a teenager. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance by test driving one and make up your own mind. If its not what your looking for don't buy it.

5 Stars across the board for me!

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!
