- Pros
If you absolutely must have a brand-new car, are seduced by the prospect of a decade-long warranty, and for some reason just don’t want a Hyundai, this might be worth a look.
Cons
Even though the Mirage is inexpensive, it’s not a good value. If you can afford any other new car - or even a good certified used car - you should strongly consider it over this one. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I bought a 2024 Mirage. Before you ask why I didn't get a used Corolla, or something better for $30,000.. It's because I want this. It gets epic MPG, and is easy to work on, plus it's new. I put 4,500 miles on it in the first 60 days. It's everything I want.
These are very underrated vehicles.
I paid $9,299 for a brand new 2017 MIrage ES manual 5 years ago. Window sticker was $14,220. After closing costs, it was $10,153.70 OTD. If I had qualified for the three rebates, I would have paid $7,799 for a brand new car that is very reliable & economical to drive. I might add my Mirage was delivered to my home from a dealership 4 hours away for that OTD price. Looking at used cars at the time seemed silly. I don't plan on having a car payment for 12-15 years thanks to my Mirage, and it's extending the life of my older Forester at the same time, too. A Mirage may not be right for everyone, but I appreciate affordable, reliable, economical small cars. I wouldn't pay big money for a Mirage, but a highly discounted one is a great value in my mind! If you take care of it, these cars will go 300,000-400,000 miles with ease. Google the 414,000 mile Mirage. Knock the Mirage if you must, but I really like mine!
You got a great deal Car prices are insane right now. I just paid $10,000 for a used 2017 with 66,000 miles.
Yeah I remember seeing commercials at the time $10,000 / 100,000 mile warranty. Now here I am currently looking to buy and the sticker price is $16,695 and to top it off they axed the manual trans. But buying a used 2019 ES manual with low miles is still $13,500 give or take. I think I will wait closer to the end of the year for a deal.
Great video! I just got a 2015 mirage for 7k and 42k miles.........now I'm at 61k miles and the only major repairs were the brakes and CVT fluid change ( previous owners didn't do much maintenance). I love the car for city driving and parking! Easy to fill up for about $30.
Just bought one (just under $3,000), needed nothing. Solid little car and much less operating cost. 5 speed baby!
It's a solid car! I highly suggest getting it. This one just didn't work for my family after 5 yeara. We have 2 kiddos and now need massive trunk space and car seats
@@TinnyTrash0 Mine is a company car; two is company, three's a crowd.

96k miles? That Mirage had easily another 100k miles in it. It takes 5 mins to wrap the exposed wires with electrical tape and 10 mins to put in a fresh serpentine belt.
yea, easily could go 200k given it's mostly highway miles.
just keep them oils (transmission as well) changed and it's good for a long while.
should I buy a new 2024 CVTautomatic or a 2018 manual transmission with low miles? I hear bad things about the CVT transmissions?
I purchase a 2017 model gt for my kids to learn on , and at the moment it has 35,000 km weirdly we put it up for sale and a tester removed the vvt solenoid and put a rust one back in , but what a great first car
This guy really beats his car.
And Carvana isn't giving him that for it. 😅😅😅
@@user-hc5mz8bl7b STILL MADE OUT
Love drums
Why?
@@greeneking77 In Central NY USA (rust belt) they are simi sealed and last longer than rotors when it comes to rear breaks
I probably missed it, but how many miles did you put on it?
100,000
Did Carvana really give you 4000 for it?
Got one today in Philadelphila. Freaking 19900.00.
Brand new? I paid way less back in the day 2017
@@VermontToolCompany Yep, new.
@@rickbar123i paid mine 20k as well for the sedan top trim level. i don’t feel bad about it knowing that the Corolla LE goes for near $30k OTD which is NOT WORTH doing so….maybe Corolla Hybrid but that more $$ anyways.
No best choices available unfortunately BUT it DOES BEAT buying used cars with unknown history and issue which is also not worth touching.
Yeah, they have raised their MSRP and are sticking to it. Still low priced, tho, by comparison to all others except maybe a Versa.
That car is going for $16k in Canada.
correct ---
Dealer in Winnipeg quoted me 23.5k CAD (almost 18k USD) for the lowest trim automatic OTD price.
They are around $20K in the Dallas area. The dealers have them priced so that for a little more, you can buy a Mitsubishi SUV.
Great overview. You probably would have been better off spending that same 14k and buying a brand new 2017 Chevy Spark LS. I'm planning on buying a 2023 Toyota Corolla LE which has 169 HP, more than double the 78 HP in that Mirage! Put 2 Mirages together and it will still be slower than my Corolla lol.
It was the Mitsubishi or the chevy back in 2017. Would have been worth more based on the brand.. good point. 👍 I now own a chevy blazer
Opps that was sent with my other TH-cam channel
When I bought a brand new 2017 Mirage, they were going for a $7,500-9,500 brand new ES manual for most of that year. This guy overpaid for his.
Chevy Spark?
What an idiot.
$4k? Damn I'll give you 5k for it
That's what my landlord said as well. I could have got at least another 1k
You are giving your car away. Try to buy your car elsewhere & tell us what it would cost?
He has to it is a manual and there is only a small percentage of people who know and want to drive one.
