2014 Mitsubishi Mirage consumer reviews

Mitsubishi did well with the concept of the Mirage.... Pros- 3 cylinder engine is plenty of power super fuel efficient 5 speed manual makes the car more enjoyable amenities like- bluetooth, push button start, 100k warranty Styling is "cute" and modern Cons- Wanders on the road Seats are very uncomfortable Not for drives over 20-30 minutes Feels very unsafe going over bridges My personal experience was not a great one with this car. I think mitsubishi is on the right track with the Mirage, but will definately need some tweaking. Possibly larger/ wider wheels to help stay on the road better? This car is great for around the city, but not great for travel on highways or for long distance. The seats design also is very basic, no support at all. So if you have ANY kind of back troubles, I would stay clear. We decided to exchange it with the dealership for something else. If you decide to check out the Mirage, I would recommend taking it over night and driving it all around before you decide to purchase.

Most people tend to miss what this car is really about. It's not a sports car, its not a luxury car, its an economy car! Yes, it might not exactly have the most luxurious amenities or may not be the fastest car. But it is extremely fuel efficient. The most fuel efficient non-hybrid vehicle in America, to be exact. Top that off with Mitsubishi's extremely long warranties and a sub $13,000 price tag, why wouldn't this car be a great choice for those looking for an affordable daily driver? I appear to be averaging 34 mpg in the city. I don't do much highway driving unfortunately, but I feel like I can still get more. Great car for a great price. Very happy.

First let me answer the question I am usually asked first: Is it underpowered? It is definitely not a perfornance car, but neither are the other 40+ MPG competitors. I bought it for what it does best: Provide a comfortable, dependable, low cost low maintenance daily drive. I have not been disappointed and have actually gotten very very fond of the little Mitsubishi. Most surprising feature is the roominess in the driver's compartment and storage area. Oh yes, it is very fun to drive.
