- Personal experience and review of my 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage ES after 2 years of ownership in Canada's capital (Ottawa, Ontario)
Purchased in November 2021 from Rallye Mitsubishi in Gatineau QC.
I compiled a list of questions asked in my previous videos, and answered them to the best of my ability.
This car jas been a joy to own and drive. I'm at a stage in my life where going fast isn't important anymore. I've been driving for over 40 years, and have owned a variety of cars from big, small, truck, sedan, convertible, turbo charged, and supercharged.
Been there, done that. The common denominator has always been an empty bank account because of maintenance and repairs.
Low operating costs, and trouble free ownership are priorities now.
This car is perfect for that!
Shout out to @Motormouth... for inspiring me to do this review. The automotive landscape needs more exposure to cars that everyone can afford. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Mine is a 2018 Mirage SE CVT with 157,000 miles (US). Plenty of power from the 3 cylinder and the excellent CVT keeps the revs low at higher speeds 75-80 mph! Really keeps the noise down. And the big surprise is those small tires really cut through the snow as long as you don't do anything stupid!!!😀
Thanks for watching 😎
Great video! Nice to see another fellow Mirage owner that loves the car like I do. Mine’s coming up on a year this May 2024. Love it 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your videos. Very helpful for my purchase of a used 2022 Mirage ES 5 spd MT this past weekend. Good simple car.
Thanks for watching!
I do like this car. The driver's seat is high and comfortable. The dealership was rude and very unprofessional, so I did not buy one. Great presentation. Thanks for sharing this on TH-cam.
Thanks for watching! I'm sorry you had to go through that experience with that dealer. You can always buy from another dealer.
Ask around and look for positive reviews on a dealer online and go there. My local Nissan dealer is similar, so I go elsewhere for example. Good luck.
@@stevenpollard5171 excellent advice
"High and comfortable" is kind of like me.
"Rude and unprofessional" is like my ex.
Buying a car is a logical decision not an emotional one. Even if you dont like the dealership, if you like the product and the price is good, you can still buy it.
We bought a 2023 Mitsubishi mirage hatchback so far we love it
Thanks for watching!
Hello there .. I currently own a 2023 Mirage and I am pleasantly surprised how this car is well built for an economy car I owned many vehicles in my past and this little car is really good and reliable .. Thank you for reviewing this car I hope many more videos to come
Thanks for watching! Planning the next one for sure at the 3 year point. Might do one after the next oil change and spring clean up
I retired our 22 years old Dodge van and was planning on buying a small economy hatchback for city driving and the reasonably priced 2024 Mirage was just perfect for me.
My wife, however, found the Mirage too small so we ended up getting a 2024 Honda HRV which was a little bigger and taller but way more expensive. i still like the Mirage.
@@robertonavarro7713 thanks for watching!
@@ilovecables You're welcome, sir.
I got a 2024 Mirage ES with the CVT, I really enjoy it. I put 10,700 miles, or 17,000 KM on it since September 27th, 2023. I mostly do freeway driving, I merge on the freeway with about 2,500 RPM, gets me to about 50 MPH (80 KPH) at the end of the onramps, good enough. I set cruise to 55, or 60 MPH, or about 90-95 KPH, and just do that. It sits about 1,900 RPM at those speeds. Overall, the car has been amazing.
Being a slower driver, I have averaged 49.7 US MPG, or 4.7L/100KM. Or 59.7 MPG Imperial. Either way, it's been amazing. Would get the car again. Have no plans on getting a different car, it's perfect for me. I want it to reach 500,000 miles.
Thanks for watching!
I want mine to go that far too! My last car I was forced to replace, a 1998 Toyota Corolla that got smooshed with me in it. It was robbed. Only had about 6500 miles to get to 500k miles.
@@tradingnichols2255 I hate to hear about your accident. If you don't mind my asking, was the insurance company generous with their payout? I've heard that insurance companies are giving more generously these days.
Aren’t you scared with every one passing you going 20 mph faster than you? Do you stay in the far right lane?
@@donc6781 It depends on traffic flow. If there is dense traffic, it gets a bit alarming. But when only like 5-7 people pass me in a minute, that's not as alarming.
I stay to the far right. I like when I go out to the more rural areas, sure, people drive faster, but far less people. So when they pass, it might be 30 MPH faster than me, but only 1 or 2 cars every few minutes.
A great and honest review ✌
Thanks for watching!
If you purchased a Mitsubishi Mirage and are concerned about dings and dents, you bought the wrong car. This is a beater commuter vehicle, plain and simple.
Very true. Still, it's hard to see this happening to something that was once new and shiny. Kind of like Iooking in the mirror to see gray hair and wrinkles!
I owned and still daily my 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage HB for 9 years.
Its already heavily modified but still runs a good 14L/100km city and 20L/100km highway.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review! These really are underrated little cars.
Thanks for watching! I enjoy your videos too 😎
My wife's 2020 Mirage G4 just passed 45k miles last week. We got it new after her 2005 Chevy Malibu with over 200k miles got totaled and we needed a car fast. Haven't had any major issues yet and its gone across America several times and survived some pretty nasty potholes. Only weirdness so far is the tire pressure sensors activate when it gets cold out but now they're turning on randomly so we're going to have the dealer check it out when we bring it in for servicing next week. I'm honestly tempted to buy a hatchback version for myself since they can be had used in my area for less than $6k.
Thanks for watching!
I love my little 2018 Mirage! Bought it just a month or so ago. :) Great video!
Thanks for watching!
We bought a 2017 mirage my wife loves the car we have not had any problems with it in 7 years we just put new tires and brakes on it for the first time if you want a good and dependable car this is the one.
100% agree. Thanks for watching 😎
Excellent review 👏. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Your videos helped me in my decision to get a mirage. Ive had mine for 2 months now, it definitely fits my needs. I push it a lil too hard tho, need to relax.
What MPG have you gotten in your Mirage Waheeb?
@@extralock1045 hi extra, I’m getting 5.5 mpg, mostly highway driving
I meant 5,5l/100km *** lol sorry Canadian metric
Not too low! I get 4.7L/100KM, or about 49.7 MPG (US). I drive like a grandma. (:@@waheeb_m
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I feel much better about selecting the Mirage ES. My '13 Outlander Sport ES kept stalling on me at intersections and it was very close to 176,000. I was told it isn't worth it at this point to change the CAT and to fix the transmission. So I have the sapphire blue Mirage and got it used with only 3,800 miles. Only need it for work mostly. I hope over time since I live in the mountains that the hills aren't problematic. I know 160 miles/day, 4 days/week is a lot lol.
Thanks for watching! I think you'll find it handles hills with ease.
Manual transmission impossible to buy in USA 😢
That what I want!
Thanks for watching! Manual isn't available anymore in Canada either
Nice car Omer. I also chose the White Diamond paint job. Have you had to change your belt or brakes in the 2 yrs?
Thanks for watching! Original belt and brakes.
My Mirage G4 is 2019, it has 152,000 miles and no problems with the engine or transmission.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Just bought a 2023 Mirage, (Apr 2024) so trying to learn about the car.
Where did you get the carbon fiber panels? Thanks ...JIM
Thanks for watching! It's vinyl wrap that I got on Ali Express. Cut and applied myself.
Ours is like a wine red color has just under 28,000 miles on it
I wanted that colour, but it wasn't an option on the trim level I chose
Have a 21 with 85k miles use it for traveling because of job it’s been okay so far
Thanks for watching!
On the scale of 0-10, what number you will give for overall safety??
Thanks for watching! Knowing how I drive, I'd give it a 10. That said, the shell is very well designed, so I'm not worried if someone or something hits me.
The detailers left the floor mats filthy like that?🤷🏻♂️
They only did an exterior wash this time. I get a complete interior clean in the spring. Thanks for watching!
I am planing to buy this car for uber drive. any suggetion
Thanks for watching! It'll do very well as a Uber. Are you buying new or used?
No one will want to get in such a small car.
@@donc6781 yet many people all over the world do every day
@@ilovecables I was speaking for the US. Many Americans would never be able to squeeze into such a small car
@@donc6781 I'm guessing from your comment that you've never sat in one. It's quite spacious and would serve an Uber driver quite well. Unless of course, said passenger was 6'5" and 300+ pounds.
