"we're not disclosing our weights."
I felt that.
Ya get 16 tons and what do you get?
“I wish Tommy was here”
He was too busy taking a $100K+ Porsche...over a mountain pass to Telluride.
That was a lot of fun! Maybe not super scientific, but real-world enough to prove the point.
I'm sorry, but can you remind us of the "point", please? Particularly just how Jeff had a bearing n this silliness?
Nathan and Andre getting in and out of the mini made my day. Thanks guys
The Mirage has a similar payload to a loaded ram rebel 😂
And a tacoma with a 6 foot bed
800 lbs is impressive tbh.
@@angelgjr1999 for a a Mitsubishi not a truck. My 86 Buick has a 910 lb payload.
Difference is the mirage will actually last the 10 year warranty period
That's if Mitsubishi is even still around north America in 10 years 😳
@@shaunward4895 their sales have been steadily increasing year over year?
10 years? Lol Mitsubishi will go bankrupt fixing these every 2 years.
@@shaunward4895 Mitsubishi has said multiple times that they're not leaving the US, such a tired comment.
@@angelgjr1999 Look up the 2014 Mirage with 414,000 miles with no major issues and 2 simple repairs and bought a new 2020 Mirage to replace it and they had no intention of trading it but the dealer wanted it for advertising to prove they do last. Has several articles on it. The owner satisfaction speaks for its self with Mirage and many people have bought them who were scared because negative reviews and couldnt be happier after watching my Mirage videos and deciding to purchase one once they see what the car is really like day to day from an owner. Many of them have well over 200,000 already. I have owned 3 Mirages now I bought each new 2015 Mirage ES, 2017 Mirage G4 SE, and now my 2021 Mirage SE plus 2 new 2019 Eclipse Cross Tourings and a 2016 Outlander Sport GT. I can say for us Mitsubishis have been the best and most reliable cars we have owned over our new Hyundais, Kias, Chevys and Dodge vehicles over the years from 2000-2021. I can speak from an owners perspective.
Also the Mitsubishi is the worst accelerating new car you can buy. But I will agree it is a cute, handsome relatively comfortable car.
Ive heard they are pretty reliable as well.
I have a 2021Chevy Spark LT. 98 HORSE WITH 94 TORQUE. Great little car fora single senior citizen.
Hopefully it doesn't live up to its name
@@chrisE815 it runs like a top. I have no problem taking my Spark LT on the interstate and do 80 mph without no problem. If something goes wrong with it, I can get it fixed and I paid about 10 grand for it. Payments are 150 per month for 5 years. Don't need an ev car that you got to charge up most of the time. 9 gallon gas tank and no problem. I put 1,000 mile round trip set the cruise control on 80 and was getting 53 mpg on it
Went to Cheyenne,Wyoming. It rode fine. I could feel the bumps along the road but real feel was just fine with 15 inch tires. My next trip is to Cody Wyoming to the museum with my spark. I love it.
Ike Gauntlet the Mirage! I've been waiting to see that test since 2014. Come on, guys!
Yes!
Yes yes yes 😄😄😄
OMG yes I would love to see that! I am 100% for that video!!!
Come On #TFL
We Wanna See This!
@@kmckenzie2461 Same! Maybe with 5 people in it too?
I'd still take the Mitsubishi
why? The Mirage is the 2nd worst car on sale
@@kristians2704 what's the worst?🤔
@@damilolaakanni Chevy Spark
@@kristians2704 And one of the best-selling in it's class alongside the Versa.
can't imagine how much more efficient the Mirage would be if it was a hybrid
I had it as a rental, crazy capable car. Very overlooked and underrated
The Prius C is very similar, my daughter's can hit 60mpg per tank in perfect conditions.
It would require weight additions and a complete new chassis from ground up. The Mirage is already 2k lbs with lots of corner being cut.
I own a 2024 Mirage ES hatchback, and I averaged over the past 8,000 miles, 49 MPG. And on the highway it gets 55 MPG.
@@mikehusky3967I had a 2014 fiesta back in the day, is this better? I loved that car but I have a feeling these are way better than the latest model year they had
The Mirage will pass 100mph, and I've had mine to 95 at or above GVWR. It just takes a really long time to get there.
Forgot the vehicles. You guys squeezed Nathan in the back seat of a tiny car! That's where the science is!
The mirage looks cool on the outside. I just wish Mitsubishi would give this more attention, like give it the four cylinder engine from the Nissan Kicks or Versa, and update the interior a bit. But unfortunately, almost everybody has moved on to crossovers.🤷🏽
I drive the Mirage on the freeway daily in California, and I find it has plenty of power.
@@lockdot2 with the right mods it is powerful but still a 3 cylinder car
I wouldn't even mod the engine, as it seems good to me. Maybe add some trim on the door panels inside, to make it look more interesting. @@richmondbernardo8768
betting Nathan is hilarious to work with!! The one liners!!!
Definitely has a quick wit!
That's not fair, 😏 the mini EV has the torque from start. You should do a running start on the Mitsubishi
As goofy as these segments are, they really can be informative to some level! 😂
Real world- despite never driving one (hope too someday) I think electric cars are awesome!
I love it hahaha. I love my 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage SE. have had 6 new Mitsubishis and 3 of them Mirages! Great cars. Thanks for this lol.
The Bear just tops off an already great review!! Fun stuff guys keep it entertaining 😄 😉 👍
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
What about distance on a full tank of fuel too see who wins
Well, if you caculate the energy in a full tank of gas in the Mitsubishi and give the equivalent energy to the Mini the Mini would win hands down.
@@Surestick88they only talking about pick up not range which car could do 300 miles in the shortest time
Funniest TFL yet.
Nathan looked as if he was taking the car off, like a jacket!
I have a 2014 Mirage 5-speed I bought new, and it now has 116k miles on it. It's a slow shitbox, but it's actually pretty damn reliable, and fun to throw around corners if you work the suspension some.
14 mirage CVT. owned since new and 96, almost 97k miles. oil, tires, and battery. that's it. just regular maintenance. dead simple to work on.
Andre seems to be a bit on edge about men touching his knees. Would have been really funny if he had broke out the Russian swear words on Roman.
This was the most meaningful and entertaining TFL drag race yet. #andreybraketorquetechnique LMAO
Three Bears in the back of the Mini 👍😁
Funny I always throught my Golf had a low payload at just over 1000 lbs
"Dammit!" 😆
So, an eletric car vs the slowest passenger vehicle on the US market? Wow, the mini SURE IS IMPRESSIVE!
Honestly they should compare the mirage to a truck with a fully loaded trailer
I just bought a 17 mirage to save on gas and I absolutely love it. I average over 40mpg on a regular basis. It's not fast but it does a decent job of keeping up with regular traffic. It just makes sense.
Over the first 2,000 miles of owning my 2024 Mirage, I have averaged 45.7 MPG.
I own the sedan version of that Mitsubishi Mirage it’s fun and reliable. I’m really happy with it.
Me too!! my ownership video coming soon
Me too! How many miles per gallon are you getting? My average over 21,000 miles is 52.2.
Interesting race folks, too bad Tweety or the Spark werent available, they would have given the Mini some competition! :)
That was some fun content right there! Thanks for the interesting 0-60 ? 😁👍
I really love my mirage. Generally I'm in it by myself so it weights a lot less then with 3 people in it and is plenty spunky enough! :)
Andre should've brought the Buhanka. And it would be interesting to see if a manual Mirage would be faster than the CVT.
I find this 0-60 time to actually be fun. I enjoy that little Mirage.
LMAO 900 lbs in the mini and kicks ass over its competition 👍 Andre Roman don't touch my knee😂
This Friday I pick. Up my brand new 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage I’m trading in my 2016 vw Tiguan and I’m beyond excited and happy
Sad thing is that Mirage is all Nathan can afford with what they pay him.
Lol. I’d take the Mini.
Another fun entertaining video. Thanks guys!
Should've gotten one with a manual
Time for a goofy drag race between Roman's electric Mini and Andre (brake-torqueing) the TRX!
GEOFF is back!!!!!!! And, he FITS!
This is the kind of content I come here for!
Funny thank you!
Please test the VW ID4 all wheel drive. Great video, keep them coming.
I was hoping the Mirage was the sedan variant and not the hatchback, and a manual for maximum revs of course. Anywho Great video, I would love to see more of this!
“I wish Tommy was here” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣o
What is it with 827lbs payload? My 2016 Ford Fiesta is 827 and my wife’s 2016 Mazda CX-5 is 827.
I love my little 5-speed Mirage G4. I must admit the Mini is adorable, and the Ram is sexy 😄
This Guys made me laugh through the hold video. I really enjoyed it. 🙌🏽❤💪🏽
If the mirage was a turbo 1.2 would it be abit better in terms of performance although abit change i mpg.
The mirage will last for 30 years if no rust. A used engine is $1000. Rebuild over and over. The mini would be a repair nightmare in 4 years. It would just look cool and get good mpg for 4 years or less. Mirage is for developing countries with poor people who need simple efficient repairable cars.
The Ultimate Clown Car Acceleration Shootout
Next, I want to see a range test like this 😂.
Good times. 😂
To be honest with you I think that somebody else should have said "I like it back here let's go road tripping like this" hahahaha
I prefer the 1996 Mirage Cyborg 😉
Ok, this was lots of fun!
Quad Dad Bod Challenge! Oh…and a bear!
I like the Mirage better.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮ ❤🕊
Should have done this with the Santa cruz
I'll say that is just way too much testosterone confined to those cars. Fun! You can stick a Nathan and an Andre in a small vehicle.👍👍😄😄😄
I had no idea that there were still new?* cars with less than 100 hp in 2021
I feel bad that you guys have to live with some questionable car purchases.
Gave away the whole video with the title. C'mon guys xD
I have owned both a CVT and 5MT Mirage. Both solid little cars, the manual (like always) is superior, but in the Mirage transforms it into a completely different car. While 78 HP isn't a lot, in a 2000 lb car with a stick, the little 3 pot growls at low rpm and sings at 7 grand. Its a hoot to toss around corners, slow car driven fast. Sadly you lose a LOT of this with the CVT. I feel like a lot more Car Reviewers would actually feel like this was actually a hero car if they got to drive the stick instead of having their first impression be the CVT...
Pleas do more 👍🤟
The engine in the mirage dogs life the bearings are made of gravel
I really want a Pajero to be there
No the most efficient vehicle you can buy is a 2014 BMW 328d ..diesel it average almost 60 miles per gallon on the highway and 45 combined
He’s talking about new vehicles.
Hey bud, I work at Enterprise, I know my cars when I see em. That right there’s a solid ECAR
Hahahaha love this
Can’t wait for a few bucks less
😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻good test 👍🏻
I love their reactions to the bear going into the back of the Mini
lol - awesome video
Hahaha I love this😂
46mpg average in that Mirage though 👀
Damn that’s crazy
It’s a CVT tho
@@adeebh1238 wel yeah I mean the Mirage is built for MPG, not speed.
I’ve gotten 50 mpg in mine
On the freeway I average 55 MPG, and over the last 2,000 miles I have averaged 45.8 MPG.
The chevy spark and mitsubishi mirage are in locked in I do road trips in my spark get 44 mpg on highway
Love it
First: That was cruel and unusually treatment. Cramming adults into the back seat of a mini?
Second: No the TRX is the most comfortable vehicle there.
Third: The back seat of a mini?
I rather have Kandi 😆
These are just getting ridiculous!
I wonder if the manual mirage would've been faster
I owned the manual mirage and it not even that quicker than CVT. Zippy? Sure but thr Mirage is not for speed.
Europeans didn't account for American payload. 1/2 a ton of tube steak.
I can get my Mirage 0-60 in about 10 seconds. I weigh 130 and keep about 50 lbs of tools and junk in it.
the payload aka male pattern baldness. 🤣
Do this in a Sentra
I am the payload lol
Mini😎😎😎😎😎
You guys are just snobs!!! You need to quit throwing around the idea that everyone Qualifies for the Non-refundable tax credit for purchasing an electric car.
How many people who can only afford a $20,000 car will qualify for a tax credit? NONE ! Pull your head out guys, It just ain't gonna happen. if you will do the math you would not even think that. If a person makes $75k a year, they MIGHT qualify but only if they have no kids. If they had 2 or more kids the refundable earned income tax credits would return enough to give them a refund. So non-refundable credits would just be a waste of time including them in their return as the would give them an additional $0 return.
Face it a new electric car is a rich man's toy. It is an extrremely fast vehical to run around town in. For any other use, such as a road trip they are just too much trouble and too wasting of time to make even a little sense. Face it even IF you could find one that could go 500 miles on a charge, and IF you can luckily find yourself close to a charger at that time you run out, they would still take a couple of hours longer to drive from Denver to Los Angeles. In a comparison between an electric Mini and a Mitsubishi the Mitsu would get there close to 4 hours earlier.
The Jerry Lewis bit is the only thing that saved this video . . .
lol
The Mirage is going out of production soon. I think this is the only video you guys ever filmed of the Mirage and it was obviously just you guys having fun goofing off. I'd love to see you do a proper farewell video for the Mirage. A real test. It's the cheapest automatic-equipped car sold in the U.S. and owners seem to adore them. America loses yet another affordable economy car. Hurry and film it before it's too late!
How lucky are you folx that this is literally your job, playing with teddy bears 🧸 awesome 🐻😊
ram trx vs mini
We don't know how you get the mini so cheap as we pay with government grant $38700 we make the bloody cars
