2014 Mitsubishi Mirage consumer reviews

Versatile and reliable wheels with some nice options! Automatic climate control, heated seats, adjustable lumbar support for the driver, power windows, tilt, power steering. With about 135,000 miles on the odometer now, I am super happy with "The Mits" as we call it.

I have had problems with entire brake system 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage Please shouldn’t use cheap low quality gasoline Shell, Sunoco , and Bp keeps the engine light off

Best stock BT sound system in its class. Better than much higher end models. Great bass. I got over 64 miles per gallon driving it from Ottawa Canada to south New Jersey, on one tank of gas! 2014 model still running strong! Just change the oil, brakes and tires when needed. Cheapest to maintain ever. Routine maintenance is dirt cheap and so far, no other type of maintenance, none, at all, and it has over 120,000 miles! Get's the fuel efficiency of an hybrid but without worrying about an higher price or batteries. Roomy enough inside to fit 5 normal people. I drive it cross country all the time!! My favourite car ever!

Good little car drive good, great gas mileages roomy for its size handle very good on the highway. I will be driving every day in place of my new car.

We have purchased 3 current generation Mirage hatchbacks. I had a 2014 then 2015 ES 5speed, and currently my spouse drives a 2014 ES CVT. Personally I am a fan of choosing my own gears and I loved my 5 speed and do not at all care for the CVT. Neither transmission is particularly smooth (although it is a budget car) but the CVT really struggles in this car. It does not engage right away from a complete stop and screams when going up a hill or accelerating into highway traffic. However some prefer the CVT over the 5 speed so it is all about preference. These cars have gotten a lot of hateful reviews which they don't deserve. Yes they are loud, gruff, don't have much pep, and aren't very comfortable after about a 1 hour trip. However with those cons come a lot of pros. The Mirage is intended for affordable and reliable transportation and it wins. It is one of the cheapest new cars and comes with a fantastic warranty, great gas mileage and excellent reliability. We have never had any issues with any of our Mirages, which together have taken us over 175k miles. This car does best for city and rural driving, which is what it was intended for. At highway speeds of +65mph, the mpg drops rapidly. For speeds below that it is very easy to exceed the EPA estimate of 44 mpg. It is quite roomy for such a small car and versatile with the rear seats folded. The standard for ES trim keyless entry and start is quite convenient and unheard of for a car in this price range. I personally think it is a decent looking car, no head turner but not unattractive at all. It is a very simple car that does what it was made for fantastically. We have always kept up on all suggested maintenance and are hoping to get 200k mi out of this car.

This car was perfect for all of my needs. It gets great gas mileage, handles well and is very dependable. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for value and reliability.

This is the perfect small car. Lifetime powertrain warrantee, transferable. Loved its ride and how much you can haul with it. I had a stick and never seemed to add gas to it (35+ mpg). Power is just about right. Moves quick, just a bit slow on uphill grades. Everyone who ever rode in it was amazed it was so nice.

I own the CVT version and it performs admirably. Avg 40 mpg city and 45 mpg hwy. Its fun to drive and squeeze thru parking spots in a tight city. For longer distances the car can be uncomfortable so I had to purchase extra amenities like a foam seat cover and a center armrest console, both aftermarket and effective. I purchased mine used at 45k miles for only $7600 out the door, which is a great bargain to me. My insurance is cheap as well as my car note. The engine is peppy and likes to be driven hard, which enhances the fun factor. The CVT7 is perfectly suited to the 3cyl, doing 70mph @ 2000 rpm is excellent efficiency. Dont let Nissan's issues with the Jatco influence you against getting the automatic version, Mitsubishi programs the CVT7 much better, contributing to much less documented instances of premature failure. Its probably the most reliable CVT driven vehicle out there. Its mechanically simple, very low curb weight, and low hp/torque all contribute to getting 175k miles plus out of the CVT7. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants to spend their money on something else like their retirement or mortgage. Great, simple, reliable car.

it was great value even though small it fit stuff i figured wouldnt fit in it .... it was safe in an accident bought newer mirage again

This car has met my needs and has gotten me place to place. Has good gas milage, but has only a 9-gal tank. Small trunk but roomy interior for how small the car is.
