I have a 2015 Kia Soul base (NA GDI 1.6L) right now with 263k+ miles. I'm waiting for something major to happen and will seriously consider this car. I read some people are getting 41-47.5 MPG on the highway. That is really impressive for not being a hybrid.

It is definitely a reliable car and economic, it has taken me on over 6 hours drive so it works for what I need but yes is not fast and the 2018 model I have looks older for sure but is expected I payed less then 20k for it so what can I expect. It works and awesome gas mileage. It even has Bluetooth and backup camera so even if is slow and the inside looks outdated it has what I need and it works great for what I do. I am just a student when I have more money I’ll buy something newer haha

M B I bought a new Mirage ES manual in 2017. I've owned cars with less hp. 78 hp is fine. I get 40-50 mpg year round. I am @ over 41,000+ miles with no issues. These were selling for under $10,000 OTD at the time, but a base 2019 has a few more features now. I wouldn't pay near MSRP for a Mirage, but a discounted one can be a great value.

The engine and cat are funny to drive, honestly sport does change the game a bit. I get about 46 on highway regularly and drive the crap out of it. The road noise is overwhelming conversation and if it rain well good luck lol. I got such a low price I didn’t even have to but gap.

Your car will run better on regular if that's what the owner's manual recommends. Premium is for advanced ignition timing and is harder to detonate.
@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING3 жыл бұрын
I was just playing around with it to see if I noticed a slight power increase by running 93 because we drive it over a pretty steep mountain several days a week and we didn't know if we would experience any detonation if we had the car loaded down with stuff plus hauling 2 large 300 pound adults. Lol But we didn't notice much of a difference so we just run 87. I've experienced detonation before while towing and had my old truck reduce engine power on me but after I got some 93 octane in the tank it was fine but it sucks when you start loosing power and the computer starts shutting the engine down to keep from burning a hole in the pistons. Lol

there is two filters on the transmission a screen filter inside the transmission pan and a cartridge filter on the side of the transmission, you can get to the cartridge filter on the drivers side of the car behind the wheel well cover, after you remove the wheel well cover, Just saw this stuff in a you tube video, I really like my Mitsubishi Mirage, I think a 80's Geo Metro (Suzuki Motors in those) did get 50-55 miles per gallon probably a even more under powered car than the Mirage, Their are lots of cars out there that prove no doubt that the miles per gallon is pretty darn good.

The G4 SE with push button start has a trunk pop button on the key fob and a push button where the lock is on the trunk lid. These are great little cars. I have owned a 2015 Mirage ES loaded (base was DE top was SE) and a 2017 Mirage G4 SE loaded (base is ES top trim SE and now have an LE mid trim) and they are great! My co worker had her fully loaded 2015 Mirage ES with Nav and Back Up Cam for 5.5 years without 1 issue, she changed her cvt fluid at 3 years. She just traded it in May 2020 on a left over brand new 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE loaded top trim with everything like heated seats, push start, apple car play and even has factory remote start and rockford fosgate packages on it. She got a great deal on it and absolutely loves it. These cars have been on the market since mid 2012 in other countries and this powertrain has proven to be super reliable. It a simple, roomy, reliable and feature packed car with a great warranty. A + Mitsubishi!

Much is made about the measely peak horsepower number; but peak horsepower by itself tells very little about any car except maybe top speed. It is true that this car is not fast or quick, but I traded a 2017 base-model Kia Soul 6-speed manual shift for it that supposedly has 52 more rated peak horses than this Mirage and weighs only a thousand more pounds, and it has 44 more rated peak torque, but, except for speeds above 75 mph, which is not relative to my situation, this Mirage performs far better as a daily driver. The Kia always felt like it needed another forward gear even though it had six. Even so, It couldn't hold hills at highway speeds. The Mirage drives right up them and I'm averaging 44 mpg winter time. Downshifting the Soul didn't help the experience. There was just no guts to it at all no matter how I revv'd it. Maybe it would do something at WOT and ringing out the gears; I never tried that Anyway, I'd have to speed up at the base of steep, long grades to get up them. Any other method was annoying and it averaged only 31 mpg, which is horrible for a the slug that it was. It was supposed to have peak hp at 130. The Mirage us rated at 78. I could never find the rated power in the Soul. All of the 78 hp is there for me in the Mirage. In 2015, I bought one of the cheapest new pickups one could buy at the time but added the optional twin turbo power train for $800 more, which is not the engine with the most horsepower or the most torque in the lineup, but it was the quickest stock pickup one could buy in the world and probably still is one of the quickest compared to today's choice but have averaged 24 mpg. One has to look past the numbers and read reviews and test drive. The Mirage behaves perfectly for a rural commute for what I want and expect for a daily commute. The power train is likely more crude than just about anything out there and it has considerable road noise from the tires; but if the crudeness is acceptable to you, and you don't give a hoot about high refinement or impressing others with what you drive; appreciate bang-for-the-buck, good mpg; easy maintenance and service-ability; ability to easily DYI; and you don't need an 80 mph cruiser, then this may be the best value car on the market. I would also think that for an extra urban car, I'd look for something else, but maybe the CVT version would be better, but the stick shift would get annoying for me if I were mostly driving in city traffic. The transaxle and clutch make some weird and loud, whiny and clunky noises that were absent in the Soul, but it cruises great once out on the road, and the mpg out paces the estimate by about 10%. It cost me $11,820 brand new. Great warranty; does a a 180 on dime. Has some decent room for an econo box; it has great drive-abilty in that 35-65 mph range; looks are acceptable. Good car so far.
