Used Mitsubishi Mirage for Sale in Corpus Christi, TX

I read plenty of relatively poor reviews by the official car rating companies, as well as relatively positive rating by consumers before deciding to buy my Mitsubishi. I decided to trust the consumers and I am very glad I did. I love my car, and I am very happy I bought it. I knew going in that it is not a luxury car nor will I win many interstate races with it. I have a 60 mile / day commute to work so I bought it for that reason. I have been incredibly impressed with the gas mileage, I am always getting 45 miles / gallon and much of that is over dirt roads and back road driving. I live in Vermont and I have had no major issues with driving the car in the weather. It isn't great in the snow but it isn't that bad either. As far as the poor acceleration, I disagree, I have had plenty of power and acceleration for the type of driving I do. I don't slow down on the hills etc. I am impressed with the 3 cylinder engine. It is a little noisy as your driving it, but I am usually listening to music anyway, so I don't notice it. By the way, very nice stereo system. If you are looking for an inexpensive car with incredible gas mileage and I think plenty of power despite the small engine, I highly recommend this car.

Just wanted to update my original review because a lot has happened since January! I've driven to Cincy and Nashville from Indy so I have a little more knowledge about my Mirage. I read A LOT of professional reviews and one of the many things they criticized was the acceleration. Long distance driving was fine except I wish I did have cruise control. My leg got pretty tired after 200+ miles in the same position. Again, moving with traffic (or passing it) was not a problem. I drive 22 miles to work each day and I have no problem moving in and out of rush hour traffic either. After driving my mom's 2015 Chevy Cruze I will say my car doesnt' take off as quickly as hers, but I haven't had a problem merging into traffic. I also read a lot about handling. Easy fix! I bought a $10 wheel cover and I can't believe the difference in the handling. (The steering wheel is a little on the skinny side so sometimes it felt like the car was getting away from me. Turns out it's all about the "grip".) There was also something said about braking, which mentioned coming to a complete stop from 60 mph. Really! If you find yourself doing that more than once in a while, you need to retake Drivers Ed! My sturdy little racecar has taken a beating. I've been rear-ended, my windshield cracked by a rock flying off a truck and I've run over a couple of pretty huge curbs. I have a few scratches, but no major damage. Gas mileage is awesome, parking is so easy and my cargo space was adequate when traveling with my two grandsons and all their belongings last month. The interior has survived several spills (including nacho cheese on the carpet) and cleaned up very nicely. Overall, buying this car has turned out to be an unexpected blessing. Like I said back in July, ignore the haters! I'm still loving my Mirage! (Read my original review below) Three weeks ago I walked into the Suzuki/Mazda/Mitsubishi dealership (after having totaled my beloved 2004 Suzuki Vitara) needing a cheap car quick! I don't care about features and technology and bells and whistles, I just need a reliable piece of transportation for getting to and from work and comfortable enough for my twice yearly 1,300 mile road trip to visit my grandbabies . The dealer told me he had a 2015 Mirage with 1,200 miles on it. My salesman took me for a test drive, but I was too busy chatting to pay attention to the actual "ride". (Duh...I know! ) Anyway, it was a cold, snowy night and I just wanted to get the car and get the heck out of there, so I signed on the dotted line and rolled out. It wasn't until I got home and pulled up reviews on my phone that I started having big time BUYERS REMORSE! After reading the "professional" reviews, I thought to myself, what have I done?! (*$%#@) Then I found "real people" reviews and instantly felt better. Yes, the tires are teeny and the ride can be a little bumpy. For sure I get blown around on the highway on a windy day (did in my Vitara too). Yep, the interior is a little cheap and no it doesn't look like a Maserati. BUT, for someone like me this car is PERFECT! I actually don't mind the plastic interiors because I'm a tad messy and I prefer wiping to scrubbing! I love the gas mileage, the ease of using the wipers, radio/cd player, adjusting the heat, etc. Parking is a breeze! Mine is Infrared with black racing stripes (yeah, it's a little funky!) So, if you're looking for a high performance, chick/dude magnet with nav systems, wings and landing gear--this ain't it! If you want a reliable car that you can drive forever with a 10 year, 100,000 warranty that gets 37 MPG--then yes, this vehicle is all that! Ignore the haters! Read the consumer reviews and judge for yourself. I'm loving my Mirage!

I've owned a 1998 mirage, still have it at 150, 000 plus miles it's still running great. This is one of the reasons that made me initially interested in the 2015 mirage. Things I love: Compact, easy to park and turn around, I can't even begin to describe how much the MPG impacts me, it's amazing, I got 42.5 mpg just city driving so far, I can't wait to take it on a longer trip to see how it does. I love the temperature setting, you can adjust it as low as 61 and I think as high as 89, i can't remember I haven't had to use the heat setting yet (summer in AZ). I got the ES model with the bluetooth, cruise control, drivers seat adjusts in height, I love that feature, it's not as low to the ground that way, makes it easier to get in and out of. I love the fact that I don't have to use the remote if I don't want to, I can simply push the button my car and get in, as long as I have the fast key remote on me. I LOVE my new car!!!! I was listening to other people telling me what I should get etc. and so glad I went with my gut feeling and got what I know and trust. Plus, you cannot beat the warranty. Now for the cons: No center console, but I can probably fix that problem and buy something to work as others have, especially for long trips it would be nice to have that. It has all sorts of warning lights that come on when there is a problem. I like those, however I already dislike the TPMS light for low tires, I'm having an issue with that coming on even though the dealer just filled my tired 2 days ago, so back to the dealer I go with that issue. That wouldn't sway me from buying this car, just an annoyance. The back seat isn't real big, it's ok for children but I don't think adults would be to comfy on a long trip. It does take a bit to get used to the steering, my first day it was horrible I felt like I was all over the place. Now, I've got that figured out and happy with it. I would definitely buy it again and recommend if you are wanting something small, great on gas and a great warranty.
