A lot of people do not understand the enjoyment of just babying a neat well made little engine like this! These type of well made cars are fantastic, I love them! And I have owned 300 hp + cars, so I know what I am saying!
I have a 300 hp chevy impala. But I beleive I would better enjoy a small car like this due to cheaper maintenance. Better fuel mileage and probally cheaper on insurance. I love the idea of a thrifty small engined car like this as a daily driver and spending the money I save on my hot rod. My impala isnt bad on gas but I want more fuel mileage. I'm averaging 34 to 35 on the highway and 29 to 30 on the interstate. And around 25 to 27 in city driving
Paid 11k for a manual hatchback. Has more comfortable seats than the Lexus RX 350 I traded in. Get 43-48 mpg regularly in the summer. The worst I get is 38-39 in very cold weather or super windy drives. The best car purchase I’ve ever made in the past 20 years of car ownership.
Howd you got it for 11k and another person for 13k, does that includes all fees and tax? I might be able to gather the money and pay cash for this if I can get it for 11k.
@@TJ-sc9ms I'd like to know the same... still waiting a response.
@@athletejmv just call every Mitsubishi dealer in you region and see who will give you the best deal. See if the closer dealer will match it. I got my 2015 mirage es for $10k out the door.

Different dealers put different discounts on cars based on how well they sell. In my area these mirages dont sell well so I can easily get 2k off of a base or 3k off of a loaded.
Real daily working people loves this car. True, this doesn't drive like a high performance sports car but it's not like you're gonna drive like an action star from and to work. All that matters is you can ride comfortably and safely. Plus it won't cost you that much maintaining the car.

I bought a '15 Mirage brand new. It now has 109,000 miles on it, and hasn't had one...single...problem.
That is great information, thanks for sharing ! I have been wondering how this car holds up over time.
Exactly what these cars were designed for. Main market for these is overseas where people are looking for simple, cheap and reliable cars. Wish we got more of these types of cars here in the US, like the Nissan Micra for example. I'm trying to get my mother to buy a Mirage to replace her gas hog Taurus that's ten years old now. She's retiring soon and won't have the income to deal with constant car problems.
Nice i'm planning to buy the mirage of 3 cilinders!! I just talked to an owner and he told me he only put $20 to fill up the tank..... amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
My dad has a 2002 mirage he bought brand new. It has now 0ver 600,000 miles on it, the only major issue it had was a cracked catalytic converter at the header.
for real 600K?
That’s insane
Just an update. I have had this car since November and have put almost 5k on it. Last time I filled it up I was at about 44.5 mpg. Its a great little car.
Good looking guy, and good review. I like that you review common cars, and not just luxury, high performance or exotics.
chickenfarm09 thank you very much, I appreciate that and hopefully my channel can become big one day. I really appreciate the support, please be sure to subscribe! Thanks again
Great review on the Mirage as I very much want one as a replacement for a Smart car. A lot of people trash this car for the engine that is not fast enough for some but I did test one long ago and I found it to be fine for highway driving and city.
dressshoeguy yeah they are decent cars for the buck and great on gas mileage as well as maintenance! I’m glad you enjoyed the video be sure to subscribe for more content and thanks for watching!!
Good review man.. A lot of people don't get this car or they don't understand it, its a roomy lightweight gas sipper that's safe has some nice features for decent A to B driving and is 11k brand new with a crazy good warranty and that's that.The CVT is decent but the manual is the key to 50mpg +. I think cars are getting a bit goofy with googahs and doodads and simple safe inexpensive cars are in demand and mitsubshi hit the nail on the head with the mirage.
TheDman216 you got some great points and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to subscribe for more content! Thanks again for watching the video!
I own a 2017 since new. 5 speed manual transmission. I paid just under 17K with Florida sales tax. In February 2022 I have under 39K miles. It's been a fantastic city car in Tampa florida.
I really appreciate this video AND also all of the comments from Mirage owners! I test drove one today and am thinking of getting it after totaling my Saturn Vue. I was worried about the pick up but a lot of owners say it's not that bad. Obviously the gas is excellent but I think overall because of this vid I might go ahead and get it.. I really like the idea of it being affordable and RELIABLE! Thank you all!
I'm a broke ish college student who is interested in getting a car that is the best bang for the buck and with a high mpg. I don't really care about fancy things as long as it gets me from point A to point B and is a relatively safe car. Would you say that this is the best option? Also thank you for not being so harsh on this car unlike most other car reviewers and being realistic about it being an eco car!
You had mentioned that it does not do so well in the snow, but with the small wheels the cost of snow tires have got to be very reasonable. So I can't help but wonder how it performs with snow tires. What a cool review that would be....
Neal Valero yeah not sure how much the snow tires cost but it’d be interesting to see how it performs and thank you for commenting! Please like and subscribe and check out some other videos on the channel!
So what if you can hit 60 mph in 6 sec. you will be pulling into the the gas station in 6 min.!!
I would rather have a car that you can fill up for 20 bucks and ride for 9 hrs. Before filling up!
Kevin Rollman Agreed!
So I drive about 30 minutes to and from work each day, so a total of a 1 hour a day. I can go about 8 or 9 days without needing to fill up. I think that hits your mark fine. Learn what you’re talking about before talking.
I know people getting these for 11 grand, 13 grand fully loaded. 17 grand is a Honda Fit! A Toyota Corolla. would totally get one, for the common deals available. These are good little cars. But $17,000? I’d for sure chose pretty much anything else in this class available for that. MSRP is waaaay too much. I test drove a Toyota iA, that is the car I’ll lkely get. After discounts it was under $14,000. Similar MPG to those, but a lot more fun and better equipped. Plus should hold value well. A base model G4 left over from 2017 is only $9000-10000 and change at many dealers. That’s possible, I’m in the middle of negotiating with a dealer wanting $10,000. The 5 speed is a lot better to drive than the CVT.
djkenny I agree. For a car this caliber I wouldn't pay over 15 the most. The iA is a Mazda 2 sedan variant but rebadged. Hence why it might be fun
David Belmares 14-15 is a lot. I’ve seen them much cheaper. Base model hatches for $9500. Loaded SE G4’s for $12,700, OTD. Honda Fit LX is $15,500 after discounts and a superior vehicle. But for the $ you can’t beat a well discounted Mirage or Mirage G4.
My CVT Mirage drives great.
Nice Revew! I think this car is a very good car for daily driving, great fuel efficiency and cheap to maintain.
my 04 Bmw 530i was a total loss, I got a 18 mirage mine has fog lights for 10k with 26k miles its purple! I love it so far very good on gas.
Not the best car if you're on the Interstate all the time but it's great as an around-town daily driver with some highway driving.
I took my 2014 Hatch CVT on a 700 mile road trip. My version didnt come with Cruise control unfortunately and I found myself having to stop every 2 hours to stretch, which helped immensely. You do have to constantly correct the wheel at 70 plus mph which can cause fatigue in your wrist. So I would just switch hands every 30 mins or so. It was fine. It helps to order an center console armrest too. All in all a decent road trip car. I had no issues passing cars or getting blown off my lane by passing 18 wheelers. The best part though was the fuel savings. The Mirage saved me %50 off what I usually pay for fuel on the exact same trip.
Ours got stick shift, side mirror turning lights, push button start and automatic climate control but to be honest, i like your trim better. I still like the key start, manual climate control and non side mirror turn lights. The first aid kit is another welcome added touch.
I haven't seen unmovable steering wheels in a long time. I maybe remember old GM vehicles like from the 80's that had a locking steering wheel.
chickenfarm09 I don't want to burst de bubble but I would say 99% of all cars today have steering wheels that lock when you turn the engine off! No big guy just being informative! God bless you!
Nice review, but what brand is that jacket?
John Doe lol I’m pretty sure it was targets brand. 😂 thanks for asking John and please subscribe and browse my channel thanks in advance!
So is this a reliable vehicle/brand? I’m literally fresh out of college and would like to keep my monthly payment low and this definitely suits my budget. Just need wheels to get from A to B, but wasn’t sure how well to trust this brand.
Sorry for the ignorance, I literally know nothing about cars :)
Beary for the money it’s a good car, from my brother owning it he loves it especially the mpg he gets and how cheap it is to fill up. Hope that helps browse the channel and subscribe that would be great!! Good luck with the car shopping
Paolo The Car Guy Thanks so much for your reply! Going to keep this car in mind, subscribed!
Beary anytime, if you are looking at cars like this I’d check out the chevy Cruze from the channel, both are good budget cars!
Paolo The Car Guy Ah thank you!! I’ve actually heard great things about Chevy, I’m going to look into that as well. Just never heard much about Mitsubishi, but I generally live under a rock :) Thanks for your help!
Right Now in PA gas prices are about $3 a gallon. It takes only $21 to fill it if I'm almost out of gas
Saw one of these today at the mall. I want one but I'm not 100% sure
They are nice for the money, if not sure I have other cars I reviewed, be sure to check them out and thanks for commenting, please subscribe That would mean a lot!
Paolo The Car Guy Will do. This video was the first result when I searched for the car. I enjoyed how deep you reviewed it. I just recently started a new job and my current car just isn't cutting it. I've had to put gas in it at least 3 times this week. And it's a 05 beetle so you would think it would get good gas.
Jordan Carter I would think so too lol and the mirage should be a good switch and if you so some research the mirage is a low maintenance car good luck and I appreciate the support
Do u know how to take it off of eco mode? I can't figure it out bro
Jessy Peterson yes!!
Fair review for once.
0-60 in 24 seconds? BS. Every test I've seen gets 11-12 seconds. Not speedy by any means, but faster than many cars with larger engines in the not too distant past. When I worked at a BMW dealership in the 80s our most popular model was the 528e which did 0-60 in about 11 seconds and all the owners raved about their Bimmer being a "high performance car" LOL!
Barry Ervin he said 12.4 seconds lol and Ik it’s a very different standards now, if I’m getting a car good on gas im not expecting a new performance car results. Thanks for commenting and be sure to subscribe and like. Thanks for the support in advance
I would like to know how quite the car is on highway. I can bearly hear the radio in my car.
What car is it
fantazzzztiq review)))).
Justin is like FU asshole! 😂 😂😂
Where did he get his arm rest from.
?
sexydiimples1 that’s how the factory makes it which is pretty nice. Hope that helps, be sure to subscribe and browse the channel! 👍🏼
Paolo The Car Guy really because I just brought that same care 2018 and mine didn’t come with a arm rest at all that’s why I asked where did he get his arm rest from
sexydiimples1 I guess it was an added feature on the mirages then, he hasn’t done anything to it, you may be able to go to a Mitsubishi dealer and get an added one
Paolo The Car Guy thanks for the advice 🙂
Mirage g4 of 3 cilinders?? Really? I thought was that hatchback who has the 3 cilinders?
Why do people like to combine a Honda with a Hyundai and call a Hyundai a hondeye!
What ever!
This car has a lot of lag in the engine
The hatchback is WAY cooler. How could anyone "prefer" the sedan. The hatchback is much better designed in terms of looks and function with much better aerodynamics and space. It even gets 5 mpgs better than the sedan according to EPA ratings. Hatchback all the way for me.
There’s some reasons. I too really like the hatch, however, with car seats or taller rear passengers the G4 is much roomiest. Trunks can be nice. Some added security. The rear arm rest is also kinda nice.
Hatchback maybe more versatile but I think the sedan is quieter and drives smoother. The wheelbase is slightly longer in the sedan.
I prefer the sedan in looks, handling and practicality 😬
U get what u pay for
0:48 they TOTALLY tried to copy mercedes taillight design. As if to say “ you’re broke as shit, and can only afford a mirage, but here have some Mercedes lights “
I haven't seen one Mercedes with that headlight. What are you talking about?
I just bought one a month ago, and I'm far from broke.
@@atruckin_hairstylist6645 😂lmao period. You tell him!
Mitsubishi Mirage : the official car of bad credit and child support
buba426 you are a moron....judging people because of the vehicle they drive.....so what do you have? A Bentley? Jackass......
Adrian Otero I don’t drive a Bentley. Don’t need one. They are hideously overpriced pieces of junk.
Brought one cash for 9,000 my net worth is 500k and I have no debt, guess I’m the outlier. Rather put my money in assets not in overpriced cars that don’t hold their value.
kevinerosa ohh you’re one of THEM 🙄
kevinerosa yes. We chose two homes. Not fancy cars.
