2014 Mitsubishi Mirage consumer reviews

I purchased the Mirage as a second vehicle to commute to/from work. It's a wonderful little runabout that gets outstanding gas mileage and is rock solid reliable. Ride is great at the expense of handling but a quick install of a rear anti-roll bar helped. Mitsubishi offers quite a few accessories to help customize the car. I highly recommend getting the center armrest. Rear seats fold down to accommodate a serious Costco run. There is more room inside that you would expect. The rear seats have more room than much larger vehicles. Mitsubishi generally offers generous rebates that make this a no-brainer purchase for a nice, basic, run-about.

I love the car great for commuting outstanding mileage averaging 42 mixed miles. Very reliable never left me stranded. Only two drawbacks odd tire size makes them hard to find and expensive. Navigation map updates are very expensive for the system would not recommend getting the mirage with navigation.

Very cute and handles well. I'm impressed with it's gas mileage but I can't say how reliable it is after owning for only a week.

Forget about the Maseratis and the higher end cars, in this day and age this little car is a first rate dream car. Super cheap, comfortable, reliable, 42mpg, and with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty what more could you ask for.

I like to call my smart looking black Mirage ES ,T-Mod. I love this car, I'm 5'4 and scoot around comfortably and efficiently. Love filling her up for around 12.00 bucks and seeing that I can drive 450 miles. Even though gas prices have been low I still appreciate the savings. One issue I've noticed is the turn indicator doesn't always shut off after making turns. My hubby is tall at 6' with a bad back and doesn't appreciate the ride.... This is my 4th Mitsubishi, I highly recommend..

I am 5,10 tall 305 lbs and I'm still comfortable in this car. I got the ES with navigation would never believe this car is only 16K loaded. I have 15000 miles on this car and never had a problem . I got this car because of the gas mileage. I like driving this car better than my kia soul. .This car gets better mileage than posted on the window sticker I'm averaging 44-45 on the highway. I'm so glad I chose this car.

I am convinced that the professional reviewers rate this car for what it never claimed it was. I bought an ES with CVT and love it. This is an three cylinder A to B car designed to get you around as cheaply as possible with good reliability period. If you want to drive fast and fly around corners and expect outstanding performance, you shouldn't be buying (or reviewing) this car. I drive it for what it is and love it. No issues what so ever with power, speed or steering. It is a little loud like you'd expect a diesel to sound, but who cares. It's much larger inside than you would think and rides better than expected. I'm saving $80-$100 monthly on fuel based off $2.20/ gallon and with the all the extras like keyless, Bluetooth etc...it's an excellent reliable value.

I bought this car before reading many "expert" reviews which panned it for being underpowered and ill handling, and I'm glad I did. I'm sick of hearing how much better a Ford Fiesta or Honda Fit is. I traded a Ford for it, probably the most trouble prone vehicle I've ever owned. I have family members with bad experiences with Hondas. I've had numerous Chevrolet problems in the past as well. I've had this Mitsubishi a year and a half and have yet to experience a single malfunction. As far as acceleration is concerned, even with a CVT transmission, it is a 2000 pound car, and it doesn't take much power for such a light car to get up to speed and handle decently. I had read reviews that said I should be afraid of highway on ramps and highway driving. This car has plenty of power for both on ramps and highway driving. No, it isn't a performance car, but it is hardly a dangerous car either. The handling is far better than reviews say, especially around town, where it is downright fun. There may be better cars out there for "similar" money, but none with the features this Mirage has. I don't think gas mileage is the issue it once was at $4 a gallon, but I've gotten 44-45 MPG consistently. The car is fun to drive, inexpensive to own, and I'm happiest that it's more reliable with better dealer service than my Ford. Or Chevy. Or even Honda. Then there was my Toyota....

Owned this car for a year, and I absolutely love it. Never get less than 45mpg for a tank, and I've gotten as high as 53mpg. Seats are very comfortable and the car rides well on the freeway and around town. Car with manual transmission is fun to drive. Plenty of room for 4 passengers. Also very cheap to buy, operate, and it comes with a 10yr/100k warranty. Go with this instead of a hybrid.

This car is a great value as it gets unbelievable to iMPGs and comes with an outstanding warranty. It is also cheaper to insure than its competitors. I have driven this car in all types of conditions nclude up Vermont snow covered mountains (with studded snow tires), driven on muddy dirt roads, and have taken numerous long trips on the highway. All of which it does well. I don't know what the reviewers are talking about when they criticize this cars performance. It does well doing what it was designed to do. It is inexpensive, utilitarian, reliable transportation. Think a modern version of the original VW bug. Its inexpensive, fun, quirky, and doesn't resemble everything else on the road. Being said, the car is also fun to drive. I think it goes without saying that this car will not give you the driving experience of launching you back in your seat when you hit the gas. It does give you the type of fun driving experience that is associated with driving a lightweight car that you can whip around corners, and in my opinion the car has a very nice exhaust note while doing so. If you are the type who needs a fancy vehicle and a $500 plus car payment to feel good about yourself, this car will not fit the bill. If you are looking to save money while enjoying a fun little car, give this one a try.
