Definitely most reliable car I?ve ever owned!!

The gas mileage is insane and the car is super user friendly! So many cup holders! The back seats are perfect for car seats and when you lay the seats down flat you can fit a lot! A lot of room for such a small car!

Mirage beats Porsche 914!

Yes, it's true, the 2014-18 Mirage is 'faster' 0 to 60 mph than the original 1970 Porsche 914! (The 914 has rear wheel drive, a bigger engine (1.7), more hp (80), more torque (97) and the same weight as the Mirage). Yet there are folks out there who are surprised/disappointed that a car with 74-78hp (the Mirage) isn't 'fast' in today's world. Mitsubishi has hit the mark with its new Mirage! I agree with those who say, 'people don't understand this car.' Even though the new Mirage will run door to door with a DeLorean (130hp) in the quarter-mile, that's not the way to appraise this car. Read about Mirage's great features others have written. A new 1970 Porsche 914 in 2018 dollars would cost you about $22,886. The new Mirage is a much better car for about half that amount! Better warranty, better tech, better mpg and yes, 'faster' too. Would I buy my Mitsubishi Mirage again? Yes. Got my 2017 SE manual 12/17 and my 2017 SE CVT 2/18. (FYI, the center-armrest for the Toyota Yaris will fit the Mirage. Just saw off the nub on the bottom of the post and wrap a single layer of bicycle inner tube around the post. Fits just fine in the cup holder.)

Up to 59 MPG All Gas.

Average 43 MPG, $20 to fill it from empty, $12,000 brand new, 10 year/100,000mi warranty. There's nothing to lose. The car is tiny and there is a serious lack of power, but unless you're going to be carrying 3+ passengers and/or cargo, and racing people on a daily basis, it really doesn't get better tan this, especially if you're trying to save money.

Don't listen to the experts

This car is fabulous. Small but roomy, drives smoothly,is good looking and economical. No sluggish acceleration, this little thing just flies right along. I bought mine with 40k on it and do a lot of driving. Have seen a tank of gas last 400 miles!! And it was only $7,000! I ? this car!!

Tiny but practical!

As a current college student , I needed a car that had great gas millage. This car is perfect for that. It?s also easy and smooth to drive around. The inside feels specious despite the exterior being small. I really like the extra features it has such as the backup camera and if you connect your phone to it, you can use your phone apps (such as maps, Spotify,etc) directly from the car screen making it so much easier and safer to use them without having to actually touch your phone. I would recommend this car to especially college students or anyone who wants a smaller car.

I love driving this car

Read all the reviews and I don't get it. This car is perfect for me. I have back problems and can't ride long in some cars . the mirage has comfortable seats, good suspension and I can ride all day. Getting almost 50 mpg highway. It's very roomy in the front seats. It's a little slow on takeoff but when the driver next to you paid 4 times the price of your car and is getting a third of your gas mileage it doesn't matter. Driving this car is a delight.

Solid. Good value for the money.

I had the previous model of this vehicle. I preferred that one in terms of driving performance. It also seemed more reliable. My current car seems a little louder in the engine and I?ll hear it sound as if the car has joints that are stiff. Because the metal will make a sort of creekjng sound that can be heard occasionally.
