2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage?

One of the most affordable and fuel-efficient cars on the market, the subcompact Mirage is available as a four-door hatchback or G4 sedan. It comes with a 78-horsepower, 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that works with a five-speed manual or an available continuously variable automatic transmission. The subcompact hatch and sedan compete with cars like the Nissan Versa, Nissan Versa Note, Fiat 500 and Kia Rio.

What’s New on the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage?

New standard features include cruise control, a driver’s seat height adjuster and silver seat stitching. A new Limited Edition hatchback trim features 15-inch alloy wheels in a black finish, heated front seats and red interior accents.

What Features in the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage Are Most Important?

In short, value and fuel economy. Offered as both a roomy hatchback and subcompact sedan, the Mirage appeals to the budget-conscious shopper. Higher trims come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, and the car offers decent headroom and comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.

Should I Buy the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage?

The Mirage is noisy and underpowered, but it has some quirky charms and fun handling. Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen stereo and Bluetooth streaming audio. The hatch with the CVT is rated 39 mpg combined, and the G4 sedan is rated 37 mpg. With low cost of ownership and a starting price under $15,000, the Mirage is a budget buy.

Electric Car Alternative

This is a simple, basic 5 speed that works as it should. The 3cylinder engine actually has pep! But what I really love about this car is how far I can drive on a full tank of gas. I’m used to filling up a V6 and V8 at $60-$80 a tank. Only $20 fills this up for the same distance I drove the other vehicles that cost $60!

Not a Luxury Car. That's the Point

I own a 2014 Mirage. I love driving it. Although I've owned all kind of cars including Volvos, Saabs, BMW's, and others, I still appreciate this for what it is. Now lets review some of ridiculous disparaging remarks we have all seen about the Mirage. 1. It can't keep up with traffic. 2. It handles poorly. 3. Only girls drive one. 4. Cheaply made. 5. Worst car ever. First of all this car is maligned far less in Europe than here. Over there it's called the Space Star. Since it can and does handle the autobahn that shoots number one and two to pieces. As far as number 3 goes, most of the haters seem to be men professional drivers used to driving BMWs and Volvos and not econoboxes like this is. They completely missed the point of this car. It's designed with frugality in mind. I don't know the statistics of how many women drive them as opposed to men but I'm sure there are plenty of men who drive them. I do and I'm not a girly man. 😂 The idea of number 4 is ridiculous. It's not "cheaply"made it's inexpensively made. The materials may not be luxury materials but they still hold up well. For those who believe number 5 go back and drive a Yugo. This little 3 banger does what it's supposed to do. Great mileage decent reliability in a cute little package. Also a very good warranty. If you want more go buy a Volvo but stop trashing this car with unsubstantiated nonsensical commentary.

Not too bad

I got the scar after I totaled my last car (2012 Toyota Camry) this was around almost $7000 that I got air for so it was a pretty good price for what it’s originally worth. I bought it used. The person before me hit a deer or somethings so the front and back bumper was messed up. I got the front replaced, still haven’t got the back replaced. To make a long story short For my age it’s pretty good I’m an 18 year old girl so it’s perfect for me because I’m small. Wouldn’t exactly recommend for people who are taller. I don’t know why people say it’s uncomfortable it’s actually pretty comfortable in my opinion. I believe that there’s a good amount of trunk space just for me. I do like the touchscreen. The compartment in the middle is kind of cute super tiny. Again this is a pretty good car for someone who doesn’t have a big family. But that’s just my opinion.
