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.

Best Econo car

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.

Wonderful 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!

2020 Mitsibishi Mirage

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."
