Unbelievably Good

I was hesitant to buy this car after reading pro reviews, but I'm so glad I did. Mirage g4 es. This car is plain, but I'm not trying to pick up the ladies lol. Power is adaquate for what you need. I have no problem getting up to 70 off the ramp, in fact other cars slow me down if anything. I have no problems passing. This car is fun to drive, motor is louder but that adds to the fun. It's not that bad. Steering is responsive and fun. Very comfortable inside surprisingly from the exterior view. I'm 6ft and like 280lbs and fit very comfortably. I have a cvt and it's smooth and reliable. I thought this car would be bumpy and rough on the roads especially here in the northeast but it is smooth, firm, and responsive. Amazingly tight turning radius makes it so easy to park in tight spots. And finally, the mpg.... The gas mileage on this car isn't just great, it's miraculous. I average well above 40 mpg on a typical city drive and in some cases come home above 50 miles per gallon. It's sips gas like a fine wine. Obviously if you are looking for a race car or a lady magnet you may want to look elsewhere but for a new car with best warranty in the biz and far less than someone else's used problem. This car fits the bill and Its made me a believer and Mitsubishi fan....

Best gas mileage I have ever gotten.

I love the Gas mileage. I own a 2017 Toyota Tacoma. I love my truck , I bought this 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage to go to and from work and back to keep miles off my truck, and save about 80 dollars a month in gas bill. I love this small stylish gas saver.

Only have 74,000 miles on it and the transmission

This car would have made me a nice little car, just for driving back and forth to work, but the transmission is going out, I'm just having a lot of problems with this car and it only has 74,000 miles on it

Good warranty, gas mileage

Got the 2017 with the 10-10-10 warranty. Bad: -No armrests - Sluggish acceleration (I know the hp is low) - Loud 3cyl engine that shakes and makes noise - Seats do not raise or lower (hard for shorter wife) - Some parts are hard to find due to the “rarity.” Good: -Amazing in Canadian snow (I have snow tires) -MPG is great -Fits large car seat perfectly (in middle) -$30ish to fill up in Canada $20ish to fill up in USA - Rear windshield wiper - Easy to drive and park Bottom story, sometimes I wish I had a larger car. However, I don’t feel I made a mistake getting the Mirage. It’s a nice, cheap vehicle that’s great on gas. If you have 1 child, or commuting to work far away, this car will be great for you.

Great car for the money. Kinda loud

I’ve had my 2017 cvt for 2.5 years. Never a problem other than it being mildy loud in cold weather. I get up to 56 mpg driving back n forth to work. It just hit 25,000 miles. It’s surprisingly better in the snow than I had expected. If your looking for a cheap reliable car that’s mildly obnoxiously loud but gets great miles and has pretty descent equipment than I’d recommend. FYI I’m 6 ft and fit in this car comfortably.

Don't let the cute look fool you, DON'T BUY

Looks nice but already needs alot of major work, 2017 only has 34,000 miles it should not need new ball bearings, new serpentine belt, new brake pads and rotors, but there is a bonus the air conditioner is going out to. Can't even trade this piece of JUNK, not even the place I got it from will take this JUNK back. DON'T just look at the miles per gallon PEOPLE just stay away from this make and model. DON'T BUY!!! RUN!!

Currently at 117,709 miles.

It’s an okay car. I work as a security guard and only make about 33k a year, and I needed a cheap new car that I could depend on, to get me to work. Bought it in summer of 2015 and have had it ever since. If it lasts to 200,000 miles without any major issues, I’ll likely buy it again. So far, the only problems I’ve had are the starter (under warranty, 30 minute repair at the dealership) and that’s it. It’s not an impressive car, but I’ve ran it hard and it’s still chuggin along. Props to Mitsubishi for making a decent, cheap car for the working man.

Okay car

For short distances decent car gets from a to b but that’s it. Gets good gas mileage. Didn’t come with any extra features. I had to put them in.
