Drew, I love that you review affordable new cars. I would much rather watch a Mirage review than a McLaren review because I can actually afford the Mirage!

[@chickenfarm09]

I agree

@chickenfarm09 same.. I don't eve watch reviews of suepr cars anymore...no point. Why blue ball myself.

You don’t gotta brag about it

[@blaquejew]

I drove a Mitsubishi Mirage as a rental about 5 years ago. It did its job. Point A to B, got me to my destination, and very easy on gas. This car is not built for speed or low 0 to 60 times. Understand that this vehicle is basic low cost transportation with minimal frills. This car would do well in a city environment. If this was all the car that I could afford, I would seriously consider it.

[@AudiophileTubes]

SOLID little car! Reliable, and gets you from point A to point B in comfort. Great warranty. That said, it's too bad that Honda discontinued the 'Fit'. That was a great car for the price! We need more affordable (sub $20K) compact/subcompact cars in the USA!

[@samarafujioma6588]

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. 2023 SE trim level. I fell in love with the design as soon as I saw it! I absolutely adore this little car! It handles well on the road, heats up and defrosts the windows very fast (which was helpful for the 0° weather my area got), and rather spacious. Though that might just be me since I'm short. What was also really nice is that it costs only $26 to completely fill up my tank. I downgraded from a 2018 Jeep, which cost $50 to completely fill. With gas prices fluctuating so much, saving that extra cash is definitely a pretty nice point as well. My biggest drawback would definitely be the lack of a remote start though. The option exists for the previous years SE models, just not the 2023 one yet for some bizarre reason.

[@Beans4Prez]

How’s the acceleration? Have you driven on the freeway yet?

[@samarafujioma6588]

@@Beans4Prez Acceleration is pretty good. It's at it's slowest when you're at a standstill, or slow down and have to pick up speed again. But once it gets past the initial start, it can handle maintaining higher speeds without any issue. I had to drive on the freeway/highway for over two hours right after I bought it. It kept up with traffic, merged, and accelerated past other cars in the passing lane without any problem.

Reviewers are sold the new trend of buying only super turboosted 1000 HP 800 pound of torque 25 feet Escalade with 40 inch wheels. Nothing beyond those specs is worth buying and deserve to be dished out. Reviewers are reviewers. When the trend will be to turbo boosted unicycle, they will jump the bandwagon and forget about the monstrosities that are big SUV's.

[@cosmoray9750]

[@ronaldderooij1774]

I bought this car new in 2015 full options. It has 90.000 on the odometer now and is 7.5 years in service in northwestern Europe. It had not a single defect during that time. Not even a light bulb broke. No rattles, original brake linings, original battery and near zero oil consumption. I changed the generator belt once because is squeeked at cold starts and fixed a leaking roof with some filler. I have one word of caution when buying this car, though. Check the alignment. The production tolerances of the front suspension mounting points are off sometimes AND the production of the rear axle is off sometimes. The front can be adjusted (mine with great difficulty, it was that bad) but the rear axle cannot be aligned. It must be replaced. Mine was fortunately OK.

[@tsunamidigital5431]

I bought a 2015 Mirage back in 2017 with 24k miles on it. I drove it for several years and then sold it to my mom. That car has almost 100k miles on it now and the only thing it ever needed was one blower motor. Solid, cheap little car with an amazing warranty.

I have a 2020 RVR Limited Edition (canadian market) which is 1 trim under top of the line, my fiance has a the Mirage GT (which is the same as SE). I was afraid the mirage was going be really slow & a mediocre car BUT DANG was I wrong. Even with less than 80hp, it gets up to highway speeds easily (even with 2 of us) Love all the safety tech (FCM/LDW/auto LED low & Highbeam). Has plenty of storage, I can park in spaces where sedans fear & dread, driving in downtown city streets is amazing. Getting gas for this car is CRAZY CHEAP... I've gotten 4.4L/100km in the Mirage whereas my RVR 2.4L gets 8.5L/100km. This car is a hidden gem in such bad economic times. I thought I would hate it.. right now I love it more than my RVR

[@andrewmorgan6734]

I own a 2022 Mirage LE, I bought in September 2022. I love it for the nostalgia it invokes but it drives like an econobox from the 90’s and not it’s great in the snow especially over 3 inches. I live in Michigan within Metro Detroit so speed limits are no more than a mere suggestion. With that in mind merging on highways and major roads are absolutely terrifying. Merging on I-75, I94, I696, M59, and M53, I have to literally floor it through the on ramp and brace myself for dear life since most traffic is drive 80 to 90 mph with 70 mph speed limit. In reality with the aggressive Michigan driving I only get 30 to 39 mpg. The Mirage is a simple car mechanically so it’s cheap to maintain. I had 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport with Fiat’s 2.4 L Multi Air Engine which is notorious unreliable engine. My Jeep was not that much better in acceleration about 10 seconds for 0-60 mph. My Jeep’s Engine was getting ready to kick the bucket, so I need cheap and reliable. The Mirage checked off those boxes.

[@kylemas2005]

Switching off the HVAC for a sec and putting it in Ds mode helps with acceleration and merging, but I rarely have to do that getting onto the freeway. If I put the CC on 70mph I'll net 39mpg, not bad at all.

[@hybridEP3]

I mean it has 76hp what did you expect? This is a cheap beater car to get to work in.

In wild traffic like you say Detroit is and here when I visit Dallas, you would have to drive it like you are mad at it!

[@j2themac778]

Try driving in the DMV ( D.C. , Md. , Va. ). The MINIMUM speed limit here seems to be 75 and everyone thinks they're a racecar driver. I'd still like to take a Mirage out on these roads. I like the idea of bare bones and easy to maintain / work on.

[@chuckm8472]

0 to sixty time was identical with CVT and 5 speed. I had a 5 speed, and it did have a more fun to drive quality. But you could only get the manual in the base car. I wish they would have offered a loaded car with even a 6 speed.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

I average 42 city and highway. 50+ on the highway depending on how you drive. Your fuel economy swings hard depending on how you drive it and your environment. Driving it like a mad man I still averaged 33mpg. Driving it through the mountains of TN I never saw 40mpg though lol.

[@stephanburgess654]

Loved your review. Loved the Mitsubishi Mirage. Unfortunately here in Australia Mitsubishi Motors Australia have discontinued the Mirage. The sedan version was discontinued only a year after being released. Advertising on the Mirage was none existent so sales were purely on word of mouth. When it was released they did advertise the car but as SUV sales grew the Mirage advertising disappeared. At first there were 3 models in both the hatch and sedan, but after 4 years the range was reduced to 1. This current facelift model was released 2 years ago and I have seen plenty on the road but it is now gone from the range. Mitsubishi Australia now only have SUV’s and a Ute (truck as you call them) left in the range. Saying that, the Ute called a Triton (L200 in Europe) and the Outlander still sell in the top 10 in Australian sales. Me I still own 3 Mitsubishi Lancers and while not wanting an SUV know when I do update it will have to be one of them.

[@chuckm8472]

I wish Mitsubishi would import the truck to the 🇺🇸.

[@amiruddin156]

same here in Malaysia.. Mirage has been discontinued here since 2017..i currently had Lancer GT, Xpander and Mirage 2014..all great cars..

[@paulkrupa3910]

I have the black edition it’s a really good car for your money

[@graham-jefferson]

I do love the Mirage because it reminds me of the Geo Metro and other similar basic hatch runabouts, but the current pricing structure for this just does not make sense when a Rio hatchback is in the same territory. Rio is simply a better car in almost all regards for not much more cost. Mirage ES trim is the only trim that makes sense to buy IMO, maybe LE if you must have alloys and fog lights. I was so close to buying one of these pre pandemic, when they could be purchased for around $10-12k brand new. THAT kind of pricing makes this vehicle an extremely compelling offer. Totally agree on the spoiler comment btw. It looks great! Thanks for the review. :)

[@palebeachbum]

I couldn't have said it better. I bought a Mirage new in 2014. It was the top spec and cost me $11,900. It was definitely worth it at that price. To get the same equipment level now is about $18k, which is insane to me. This car is not worth it at that price. As you said, there are much better driving cars for barely more money, such as the Kia Rio. It's worth paying a few extra dollars per month to live with a much nicer car. It's a lot faster, has much better handling, tighter steering, and a more spacious interior.

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

What you say about the Rio may be true but Kia has pulled the plug, so to speak, with this vehicle for 2024. So the Mirage will be the only small car available in the US. The Versa is being phased out also. All this is unfortunate, but true. 😥 ♐

[@Snake-ms7sj]

I drove a 2013 Spark as a rental for a week. Got no better highway MPG than my 2012 Focus hatchback that had like 40% more horsepower.

[@DigitallFlesh]

I bought a 2017 manual transmission version for use with uber for 10K OTD and put 150K on it with no problems. The only irritating thing about it was the belt tensioner and belt squeal. I had the belt replaced a few times and you have to adjust the alternator to get the belt tension right. As it got more miles it would squeal at idle. Other than that, it was rock solid reliable. Also, I put larger tires on it than the 14" stock tires, and it ate the mileage gains and I only averaged 38-40 MPG. With the stock narrow wagon wheels I would get 45-50 MPG. The narrow 14" tires were over $100 dollars a piece and they only had two options for these tires, so I bumped them up a bit to get more tire options, but ate some MPG doing that. I was going to buy another one in 2021 but they wanted close to $17k for one and that was a hard pass for me. I went with a used prius for $15k.

[@BillySBC]

You got the same mileage actually. When you went to larger wheels it threw the odometer and speedometer off because the computer is expecting 14 inch wheels.

[@jacopofasolo6018]

Ah, little great cars! Love them!

[@pghsquid]

Good review! Question-is a manual transmission still available?

[@classic287]

I bet if you tripled up on the floor mats it would cut some of the road noise. UPDATE: I got the 2023 G4 (sedan). I like it and have no problem with it. It’s comfortable and has more legroom in the back than the hatchback. I just wish it had telescoping steering wheel

[@classic287]

One other thing, the brakes are kind of funky. When I stop, it moves forward a little and I have to press harder. I think it has to do with “hill hold” so it doesn’t roll backwards.

[@weed491]

[@akremihassen5701]

Thank u for all the information I will by it in a few weeks.

[@NGMonocrom]

I like the look of the Mirage. But I think Mitsubishi made a huge mistake getting rid of the manual. It's more reliable than the Jatco CVT trans., and costs less. Normally a $1600 price jump over the previous year's model wouldn't be a big issue. But on a bargain-priced economy vehicle, it is! I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Also, why would anyone buy a 76 horsepower Mirage, when they can get a 120 horsepower KIA Rio? (One of the Mirage's biggest competitors. The KIA's 1.6 liter gas engine doesn't have the horrible issues associated with KIA's other 4-cylinder gasoline engines. And, the 2022 Rio comes with Push-button start. Eliminating the theft issue some KIA's suffered from.) And, just like the Mirage, the Rio comes in either sedan or hatchback body styles. Then there's the 122 horsepower engine in the 2023 Nissan Versa sedan. Even the Chevy Spark is pumping out 98 horsepower. I'd honestly be afraid to take the Mirage onto a highway. Especially trying to merge while going down an entrance ramp. This is a city car. Forget those MPG miles on the highway. Yes, the Mirage has some nice styling. But there's no reason to buy one over literally all of its competitors in the class. (Even with the impressive warranty.) Honestly, I'd only buy one if a Mitsubishi dealer offered HUGE incentives. Specifically, price. An LE trim in the low $12K price range, _with_ that excellent warranty, okay. Otherwise, better to save up a handful of more paychecks and get *any* of its competitors.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

Not a fan of these cheap sedans/hatchbacks, I would rather move up to the size of a compact sedan such as Civic or Corolla, or just buy a used Civic/Corolla for about the same price as a new Mirage.

[@NGMonocrom]

@@blackwhirlwind1245 Cars like the Mirage and it's competitors are not made for those who can afford a new Corolla or Civic. To them, those vehicles might as well be BMWs, Audi, or Mercedes luxury cars. It's for individuals who can barely scrape by in Life, live paycheck-to-paycheck. Have a horrendously awful job that requires them to be there on time everyday or they'll get fired. They get food stamps even though they work full-time, because they make so little that they still qualify for SNAP benefits. For these car-buyers, the Base trim price of a Mirage is already going to be a huge financial burden. One good thing is that Mitsubishi dealers don't want Mirages taking up space on their lots. The more of them they sell, the more they can demand that Mitsubishi ship them more popular models of other cars to sell on their lot. That's how it works. So, dealers will bend over backwards to get loan approvals for those customers coming in to buy a Mirage. Credit rating in the sewer instead of just in the toilet? They'll still find a way! They WANT you to drive away in that Mirage. These customers need something relatively reliable, and don't want to risk buying a used vehicle and inheriting the last owner's issues. A respected mechanic in my area told me that on average 1 out of 4 individuals actually take care of their vehicles with routine maintenance. The rest drive them until they fall apart. Sadly that's true of Corolla and Civic vehicles too.

If Mitsu would try a little harder with this car. No one is expecting it to turn into a Mazda 3, but just refine that interior a little, a little bigger tires, another 20 horsepower. Yeah, it would raise the price a little, but if Nissan can do way better than that with the Versa for a bit more I don't understand why the Mirage has to be some relic from 30 years ago (basically).

Last year I drove my 2020 ES 5 Speed from Florida to Oregon and back and while there were some spots where I had to downshift in Colorado and Wyoming to pull some of the bigger hills but it wasn't any worse than other small cars that I've owned. It did absolutely great on the trip and returned a 43.6 mpg average for the trip with a low of 40.3 mpg in Colorado where not only the mountains played a factor but the speed limit was 80 mph. Running around the Cascades in Oregon I was getting 48 mpg and on the way back I took a different route due to snow and the speed limit was 70 mph which gave me 45 mpg for my return trip. I have found that I consistently get 45-46 mpg running 70 mph and can even top 50 mpg in mixed driving at speeds ranging from 45-60 mph.

[@joshuabrown3525]

I think this is a great car. Cheap, affordable, and great transportation. However, I like more power. I would put the engine and transmission from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. Also, add AWD, upgrade the brakes, suspension, tires and wheels turning a cute 70 horsepower car into a 300 horsepower monster. Oh, lastly the car will need an extreme body kit, spoiler, and exhaust. However, I can't imagine how I would build it because planning and making it would require someone more insane then myself.

[@gkauto1959]

a true 300 horsepower engine would be fun but at the same time too thirsty, you'd lose the mileage and probably the transmission, too, as it would break under the lash of 300 horses, so you'd have to upgrade the transmission and the sensors that go with it. Too bad this isnt the 60's imagine being able to work on a simplified gas engine without fuel defection and the associated hardware.

My wife worked at Nissan and had a Versa, it was always having problems, brakes, wheel hubs, air-conditioned compressors, lifter noise, and everybody knows how bad the CVT was in them.

@@chuckm8472 omg i agree, my boyfriend had a sentra and it was so unrealiable in the end

What about Mitsubishi CVT transmissions, Are they reliable?

[@gkauto1959]

I bought the CVT mirage new just 3 months ago and I can tell you that not only are they reliable, if you put it in sport mode you'll have no problems merging onto any freeway! They are easy to work on and have lasted over 200,000 miles but there is one wekness: you should change the CVT fluid every 20k miles and use AMSOIL full synthetic. Do that and get better transmission life and performance.

If Yugo still built cars........ this is it

[@strategicservices9906]

Are they making g4?

[@goldpony]

Yes they still are. I'll probably be reviewing that one soon 👍🏻

[@spinfish1434]

The 2023 Nissan Versa is only $1000-$1500 more and comes with a ton more standard features!!! Mitsubishi Mirage jeeeez, WTH..It's way overpriced!! This is a $12K car loaded and would sell like crazy at that price.. Come on Mitsubishi.

[@georgeb5262]

I heard that the Nissan Versa is more prone to problems. Especially with the transmission. I am not really interested in neither of these cars, and I may be wrong about it's reliability, but it may also play a part in the final price.

Affordable kapag binili, kapag iparepair hindi na😄

Today I rent this car mirage 2023 driving it from Windsor Ontario to Toronto 4 hours driving it was raining and windy little bit but it was so bad to driving it so bad car I ever seen I almost to get into a accident several times thanks God that I arrive safe to my friend home.. I don’t like turning on the fan and the temperature by clicking the bottoms stupid things designed and has no power to go fast when you starting from zero.😢😢

[@JayOrlando32828]

No AWD?

[@moneyparhar]

Def not worth $16k for that cheap car looking car. Base price should be $12k

[@augustarellano197]

Lame no manual trans 😢

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

Mitsu cut the optional subwoofer package from its list of optional equipment for the Mirage. Bummer! I wonder why they eliminated it. 🤔 ♐

[@edgaryzen4925]

You still haven’t gotten one? Thought I read you did?

[@angeliiscute9794]

i have an old galant and the subwoofers are amazing!! i truly wish the mirage gave it that as well

[@wolfshanze5980]

The cheapest car gets the most cost cutting measures... like no subwoofer... you can't get everything you want in an $18,000 car... if you did, it wouldn't be an $18,000 car.

[@jddyea5527]

There is no 2023 Chevy Spark, the cheapest car in America is the 2023 Nissan Versa

[@PeaceChanel]

Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

[@SergioMorello1]

This car is the best for $. if you know you know

[@sarfrazsae9226]

Without 16" wheel size, you are unable to complete in market then everything is behind it.

[@Jakethesnake101]

Can I put a turbo in this

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

For one day of fun, you sure can.

[@HEMI345S]

Only in the HVAC 😀😀😀

[@Kev-----]

They should put this radio in the Outlander sport s and es

[@donalddouglas2671]

Great to road test the average car Americans can afford. Tired of watching reviews on vehicles that only the rich can afford.

[@jimbaptista7371]

Great review.

[@Afrocanuk]

They need to bring back the 2014/15 styling. This styling is just a cheap ugly spin-off of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV.

[@Andrew-gs2hf]

This car is epic! I can't believe it isn't popular in the states, but in Mexico, it's more common to see these suckers being used. I'm glad: I got one of these, and driving on Texas roads is a blast for fuel consumption. Under the Biden administration, things got difficult, but having these cars combat these difficult times and more savings on gas.

[@eddiel.4108]

You nut jobs from Texas always make it political from using the toilet all the way to buying a car. Give it a rest.

[@wny9521]

Absolutely rediculous they raised the price and also cut out the stick shift. The stick makes this car the best small car. That cvt makes it the slowest. In 2020 they have these away for 10900 with stick. 11900 with auto. Now they are worth 17000?? Rediculous. You can keep it. I'll buy a used 5 speed for a decent price. They are reliable cars though.

[@carminered]

are you being honest tho

[@exionem]

No more manual version. 😐

[@AudiophileTubes]

Unfortunately, manual transmissions are becoming an endangered species in the USA.
