Honest review of 2020 Mirage LE

2020 Mitsubishi Mirage LE 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 3cyl CVT)

Best gas mileage you can get without buying a hybrid. Cool styling, snazzy accents, plenty of cargo room for the car size. Easy to drive, easier to park. Very affordable to buy, own, and drive. Superior warranty coverage for peace of mind. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, this is the car for you as long as you are okay with a VERY sluggish, noisy ride and minimal comfort for backseat passengers, such as kids. I was disappointed from the get go with the super slow acceleration and noisiness of the engine, but for what I need (very affordable, reliable car to commute to and from work daily on busy city streets) these drawbacks are acceptable. I have no regrets about buying this vehicle because it suits my needs and the sluggishness isn’t an issue for my commute, as I don’t have to drive on any highways and mostly drive on busy city streets. I would definitely not want to take a road trip in this car, however! Hope this review helps you in your decision.

Don't believe the negative "pro" reviews. Let me say that first. This car does all it needs to do. For the price in 2020 on a brand new car---it is a solid choice. The only reason I would say to avoid it would be the harsh resale value. These cars have terrible resale values, but they ain't the only ones out there. The power is fine---as long as you aren't expecting a race car. It is just loud getting up to speed. I drive a 19 Mirage hatch LE trim on 85 going towards Charlotte and it is fine. The winds push it a little bit but seeing as how the car weighs about 2,100 lbs, it ain't gonna blow away. Seats are very comfortable and the front ones have heat---they fire up very quickly. This car has apple carplay and it is a great feature. Voice activated commands for calling somone or simply say "play Elvis" and it all works. I am in the mid 30's all the time in the city and 45 on the highway.

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.

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.
