I Bought One! The Reviewers Didn't!

2020 Mitsubishi Mirage ES 4dr Hatchback (1.2L 3cyl 5M)
59 of 61 people found this review helpful
This is a very good basic car. The Reviewers drive a Lexus and then a BMW and then a Porsche and then a Buick and a Lincoln. What do they think about the Mirage? It's small. It's not powerful. It's buzzy. No kidding! This car gets you into a brand new car at a very used car price. It has a killer warranty and.....it gets the job done! The hatch with the back seat folded gives impressive cargo space. As I mentioned previously, I actually bought one, uhmm, with my own money that I earned, uhmm unlike the reviewers. I get hybrid like mileage often over 50 mpg and it's been anvil like reliable for 50,000 miles. In case I haven't mentioned it I, bought mine with my own money that I earned and I love it! BUT!!! Shop for a deal. Depreciation is steep on these little runabouts.

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.

I bought this car new in 2020 and it's been just about perfect. I get 47mph on highway and the car has been mechanically sound. I have 28,000 on it and its needed nothing. Looks tiny but my Brother-in-law was shocked when he got in the car because he is 6'4 and he still had a few inches head room. We were laughing about it. A great little inexpensive car. Don't listen to the "so called experts."

If you are looking for a new car with an outstanding warranty, low price point, look no further than the Mitsubishi Mirage. Is it a race car? No. It’s not designed to be one. It’s designed to take you comfortably from point A to point B and back reliably and economically. Whatever you do, do not believe some of these so-called professional reviewer‘s. If you are thinking about purchasing one, take one for a test drive and keep in mind what this little vehicle is designed to do. I have just over 4000 miles on mine and I cannot recommend it to other people enough if they are looking for an inexpensive and reliable car.

I've had my mirage for roughly 6 months now and I've had absolutely no complaints. It gets the job done. The interior is nice and it is the perfect car for someone small like me, OR who just doesn't want a huge SUV. The average speed limit is typically 50 where I live so the speed isn't an issue. A car's only purpose isn't to go fast. I totally, wholeheartedly recommend a mirage! I only have to fill my tank like once a month!

I bought my Mirage hatch back in 2020. I love it. Great gas mileage. It has slowww pick up but i knew I wasn't going to race the car. LOL. It keeps up with traffic and I've owned it for 3 years and have no complaints. Great buy for the money. Personal reviews are more favorable than professional reviews. Anyone looking for a reliable inexpensive brand new car, buy this. You won't be dissapointed.

I have always liked tiny, uncomplicated cars that are fun to drive. My Mirage ES isn't sporty or particularly quick, but it's roomy and comfortable. With a 5-speed manual, it'll get you there on time. It's cheap on gas. It replaced a 2017 Ford Fiesta and is a much more practical car.

I rated the car based on comparable cars. Firstly, when it comes to this car get the manual transmission or don’t bother. You need to be able to put the revs where you want them to get the most out of this engine. Most CVT transmissions are garbage anyway. Secondly, someone mentioned the car hydroplaned easy. The stock tires do great in rain and snow … when they have tread. They wear out incredibly fast for as expensive as they are. I had to change mine at 28,000 and prob should of changed them sooner. The ones I switched to don’t do as well in the rain but as long as I’m not speeding it’s not an issue. I’ve passed 4wd Jeeps in the snow (because people don’t know how to drive). As long as the snow isn’t 6 inches deep you’ll get where you’re going. The car is cheap, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It’s comfortable, has all the amenities I require, AMAZING gas mileage. I often am not easy on the gas pedal and still averaging 44mpg over the life of the car so far. All my complaints are super minor, for example, the car doesn’t easily go into gear when it’s cold out until it warms up, which is annoying. Also, I’ve twice cut my finger opening the glovebox because there’s some piece of metal that my fingers hit if I stick them way in there.

Wonderful fuel efficacy if you're driving 75mph or less, anything over that the fuel efficiency is that of a minivan. Has absolutely no pickup in speed, terrible at going up any sort of incline. Hydroplanes excessively easy, don't even think you can drive this in the snow, and if it's windy it feels similar to driving a cargo van. This vehicle is so unsafe I don't know how it's even on the market
Worst car ive ever owned!

This has to be the worst car ive ever owned. For starters, it sounds like a chainsaw under acceleration, its pathetic 68 horsepower is borderline unsafe when accelerating to get on the highway or pull onto main roads, its far from being a comfortable ride. Brand new in Virginia the car was 22,000$ so it’s beyond overpriced. Currently the car has 18k miles and twice within the past month the car has CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING! TWICE!! And no recall has been posted for it yet. In my honest opinion as an unfortunate owner of this tragedy called a “car”, it has to be one of the biggest rip offs mitsubishi has produced yet. Im am not satisfied at all. My honest professional opinion as a mechanic i would say it is a money pit. The motor is cheap quality and poorly designed and the electrical system is almost bound to have alot of failures. The motor is strictly a synthetic oil motor so getting it changed will run you 60$ or more. The CVT transmission is garbage and will most definitely become a problem at some point early in its life as most CVTs are unreliable to begin with. To shorten this description, in my 10 years as a mechanic i have never seen a vehicle so prone to failure. The only reason i own this car is because my husband and i needed another vehicle asap and it was our last option. Take my advice and leave this heap of junk on the dealerships lot to rot.
