People are weird with small cars.. all I care about is if I fit in it comfortably and if it is efficient and works!. I used one as a rental car for a few days and ZERO problems..
We also have this vehicle in the Philippines. Everything is straight forward and it's easy to drive this car. It's not a fun car to drive but having a smooth drive, cheap maintenance and very good fuel economy makes up for it.. definitely will keep this car until it's last breath 🤣
Finally a review on this car from someone in a cold climate. I plan on buying a 2019/2020 mirage when my financing term is up on my current car at the end of the year. It will be used specifically for winter commuting and stored the rest of the year. Thanks.
good choice. its perfect for commuting, however i do like to do long trips in it (1000 kms and more). enasave original tires are ok, but im going to get general altimax - its allseason but better in snow than enasave. very cheap maintenance and very reliable car.
If people would just put there pride aside, this car is great! Maintenance, 6.6L/100km (almost 40 mpg) and a very low bi-weekly, financed or leased. I live in winnipeg brother, do you think getting winter tires on this is fairly cheap? Since its a small tire size?
Narrow tires help a lot in the winter. I intentionally have narrower tires on my truck for the winter and am considering a small car now to replace it.
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv They truly are hidden gems for frugal people. I just hope the Mirage can continue to sell well and resurrect the once great Mitsubishi North American market.
@@kylemas2005 Well, I want to get mitsu EX concept crossover when they start to manufacture them. but so far I'm happy with what I have, travelling in this car is great. I spend 100 Canadian $ for 2000 kms for fishing and hot springs here. exactly what I want :)
Surprisingly, it is perfect. sometimes I feel that it is a small SUV :) Handles very good in snow. -30 C starts pretty good, going to try winter tires this winter. people say they are better (we have 3 mirages in my town). Is your G4 bigger and roomier?? any issues?
Volodymyr Ruban Awesome! I have the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on mine which are an all weather tire vs all season and are half winter tire and half summer and they did amazing this winter! Check them out. I have a few videos of the tires on my page. Glad yours has held up well and these do really good in the snow. Yes my 2017 Mirage G4 is roomier than my 2015 hatch especially the back seat and trunk. Had no issues with my 2015 the 2 years I owned it and none with my 2017 the 2 years 2 months I have owned it. Glad you like yours too!
Thanks. Mine (full options) has now 80.000 km and five years. I had zero problems with it. None (the Netherlands, Europe). Not even a light bulb broke and also zero rattles. Very good car. Average fuel consumption over the years is 4.5 liter/100 km. I am a very easy driver.
Hoho, I saw that you have to do oil change every 20 000 km there. In Canada it's every 8 000 km. But yeah, it's reliable and cheap to run and maintain.
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv It is 7500 km here in harsh conditions and 15000 in light conditions. I use the light condition interval. I drive mainly outside town. Now 100.000 km and still zero problems/rattles.
If I’m on a long 35-45 mph road with no stops (which is rare for me) and I have new transmission fluid I can get 55 mpg. It helps pay for the transmission fluid, which is like $100 lol
Thank you for this review. I bought this car last year and its very reliable. I am hoping to drive it in Vancouver snow this year, I put on winter tyres but should I also add some weight to the car? some people suggested me to put all season tyres in trunk to add some weight in the back of the car if I am driving in snow? Could you share your experience?
Don't trust diletants 😀 I live in north Alberta now, have winter tires. No problem at all, we recently had 20 cm of snow. No need for weights, it drives strong by itself. Will make a video with 7 years with the car, 🚗 love it
Hi I saw a 2018 mirange with 10km being sold for $8.5k here in NB but im not sure if it can handle winter especially with the roads that are salted. Also how about about uphill driving and long drives? Is it underpowered?
Well: 1) we dont have much salt at the Northern BC. By car's body is good, no rust at all. 2) Uphill driving is not good, I usually do 70 kms because don't want to give the engine hard time. 3) It may be under-powered, depends on your perception. Driving in town is fine , you dont need that many horses. If you want a fast ride - not a car for this. 8 $ k is a very good price, I would buy it without thinking. It's cheap, that's the main advantage (cheap commute, cheap maintenance, good reliability).
Den Targayen I live in NB ... I would not buy it. Get a base model 2nd hand AWD and some good tires. Save yourself the headache! *edit: I like this car and think it’s good value for money if you were in a different climate 😕
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv Yep. and 6-7 months here in Winnipeg. Have visited Northern BC near the Yukon border. Very beautiful there. Have a good day.
@@KF1 My friend lives in Winnipeg, I'm from Fort Saint John, you definitely passed this town on your way to Yukon. You probably visited Liard hotsprings here :)
Just today we had 12 cm of snow. the clearance is good enough for comfort driving, original tires are ok for that. Just dont try to get trough a snow bank - I tried one time and it was well above the hood. 78 hp is enough for a city ride even in a deep snow (I never had a problem). and the car is very light so you will not have any issues.
Volodymyr Ruban yes but were do I locate the plug in my car? I just moved to Thunderbay and I need to plug my car I can’t find the plung under the hood
Aha, got it. Here, in BC and Alberta this is a mandatory option, it's about $250. However, I don't think they have in in Ontario. I don't think it's that cold there, if it's only -20 I would recommend to install remote starter, it's about $500, well worth it. Sometimes I wish I had it.
I didn't have that car but in Philippines we have that car but it's a sedan it's a red car it has a spoiler it could go fast as I can but it broke only at the one door when my dad gets angry going to the shop that motorcycle don't know this he don't think our car was invincible but it is real there was a car in that guy don't know it and I'm going to tell other people about so people will get time to jail
The Mitsubishi Mirage.....the best small car that nobody likes. Except those of us with a brain that can think for themselves. Love my black '18 CVT
I’m thinking of buying a brand new limited edition for 11k usd but I’m on the fence. Would you consider it a good value?
I took the dive and bought one used 11k is what i payed. I seen cheaper ones but u get what you pay for.

so true. my friend lives in winnipeg, i know how cold is it :) full set of tires is about $400 CAD, the cheapest you can imagine.
Narrow tires help a lot in the winter. I intentionally have narrower tires on my truck for the winter and am considering a small car now to replace it.
I'm using 14' 175/75, so far never had any problems. You can use 15', but you will need new wheels.
@Not Sure I had 165 original Dunlop's, didn't like them. They were done at 60 k kms, now I'm using 175 and they are much nicer.
@Not Sure I bought general Altimax rt 44 all seasons because lazy to change for winter :) 40 k kms on them and they are very good in snow.
I drive mine in the warm southern US states snd it rocks!

@@dentargayen2611 Well, I travel across Canada in it :) pretty cheap :)
How's the rusting situation ? Have you looked underneath the car ? looked at the engine bay ?
Just saw my mechanic yesterday. All good so far, no rust. The only rusty part is rotors, but they are still good. going to change anyway.
I love how the title suggests a harsh Canadian winter lasts 3 years.
actually, it lasts 8-9 months here in Northern BC.
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv Yep. and 6-7 months here in Winnipeg.

Now that's a crazy road!
@@KF1 yup yup, 400 kms trees only :) just wilderness and you :)
Considering buying a mirage as well, just wondering if because of the low horsepower, is this car difficult to drive in the snow?
Just today we had 12 cm of snow. the clearance is good enough for comfort driving, original tires are ok for that. Just dont try to get trough a snow bank - I tried one time and it was well above the hood. 78 hp is enough for a city ride even in a deep snow (I never had a problem). and the car is very light so you will not have any issues.
What Canadian city do you drive in?
Fort saint John, BC
can you share the brand size model of the tires you are using, Is it all weather tires?
I used all wether, it was ok in snow. Now I'm using cheap Chinese Blackhawk snow tires, they handle better. 175/65r14
You should think about upgrading to the new model, it had a much more modern look. And the price is amazingly low.
Yeah, I had seen it. Looks better but the same inside. The price will be similar to 2017 , maybe just a little bit cheaper.
I have the next model its just the front bumper is different haha
Thanks for the review. I am planning to buy this car for winter and for harsh Canadian weather! Can it accommodate 3 persons at the back ?
Well, it can. But it will be not so cozy.
Excited to buy one!
@@fuzooli good luck on that, don't forget to bargain.
Nice, no problem with Rust?
No, we moved to town where they add salt , no rust so far
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv That's great. I'm from Switzerland and I'm considering buying a Mitsubishi Mirage. Salting is also done here in winter.
@@Leomroy you will not regret this decision. Warranty is good, very cheap to run overall
@@volodymyrrubandynamokyiv Many thanks for the quick response. Thank you very much.
Best Regards Roy
Where do you find the 🔌 plug ?
In northern towns they are everywhere, you will not start you car when it's -50 c outside. It keeps your engine warm.
Volodymyr Ruban yes but were do I locate the plug in my car? I just moved to Thunderbay and I need to plug my car I can’t find the plung under the hood
Aha, got it. Here, in BC and Alberta this is a mandatory option, it's about $250. However, I don't think they have in in Ontario. I don't think it's that cold there, if it's only -20 I would recommend to install remote starter, it's about $500, well worth it. Sometimes I wish I had it.
Volodymyr Ruban thanks
@@ronsonjacks6777 Enjoy.
On -30 it consumes 15-20 liters per 100 km? Sorry i didnot get you ..that is alot .
Last winter we had -55 C, my fuel consumption was around 8 liters, but the gauge showed 12.
road noise a problem?
Yes, as most Japanese cars it's not well insulated, but your brain will adjust, o don't pay attention anymore
I want to buy it
it's like a hybrid, worth it. pretty reliable, no issues.
Good luck on that, don't forget to bargain.
Drive it in snow
I didn't have that car but in Philippines we have that car but it's a sedan it's a red car it has a spoiler it could go fast as I can but it broke only at the one door when my dad gets angry going to the shop that motorcycle don't know this he don't think our car was invincible but it is real there was a car in that guy don't know it and I'm going to tell other people about so people will get time to jail
