2024 Mitsubishi Mirage: Is It FINALLY Better?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- With rumors swirling about Mitsubishi giving it the axe, the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage is still as bland as ever - but there are still some central bragging points that will no doubt keep minimalistic, eco-minded buyers coming back for more.
With the same whiney 1.2L 3-cylinder engine making just 78hp and 74lb ft of torque, the Mirage has the distinction of being the only new car for sale in America with a double digit horsepower rating. It’s also one of (if not, THE) cheapest new car for sale, starting at $16,995 for the ES model and rising to just over $20,000 for the top of the line SE trim (a mid-level LE and Black Edition trim, the most aesthetically pleasing of them all, are also available).
The Mirage’s biggest selling point is its 39MPG combined EPA rating, and the fact that it can be had as either a sedan (the Mirage G4) or a 5 door hatchback. The sedan has 3” more legroom in the rear but keeps the same engine and trim options. Our test car was an ES hatchback, complete with 14” wheels and hubcaps. It’s as basic as basic gets but does boast standard forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a killer 10 year/100K mile warranty, and automatic climate control.
For 2024, the LE trim & above gain auto headlights, rain-sensing wipers and a driver's armrest. The interior is seriously outdated and full of cheap plastic, underwhelming design and lackluster materials; all things you might perhaps expect on a subcompact econobox but still rather shocking at first meeting. For comparison, the Mirage’s only real remaining competitor, the Nissan Versa, only costs a few thousand dollars more and bests the Mirage in nearly every category, including power, options, design and overall fit and finish on the interior.
In the end, the Mirage is decent for basic A to B transportation, and has low maintenance/operation costs. For some drivers, that’s all they need. What do YOU think?

I always see a big disconnect between owners of the Mirage and Auto Journalists reviewing them, The view points on both are 180 degree different, The main objectives of this car are opposite of what Journalists expect, but exactly what buyers are looking for. It's a back to basic point A to B car, just like many entry hatch backs before it. We have become very demanding with our rides and the wants always over take people's needs. This car is bullet proof, easy to live with, affordable, dependable, no recalls or engine disasters (looking at you GM and Toyota) Review what this car is designed for, not a toy to play with or focusing on the obvious - next time review fuel milage, easy parking abilities, loading and unloading, not a teenager taking it out road racing at night.
I had a Mirage for 10 years. Sold it last month. I had ZERO problems with it. Other then changing the battery after 8 years, nothing else. The car is super reliable, super economic, and honestly the engine noise is nowhere near as loud as people on YT describe it. This car takes you from A to B without wasting your money.
It's always wise to change the batter. They do get tired after too many strikes! lol
@@bobjohnson205 meant battery lol
@@IPOMarketWatch Battery UP! lol
So sad that there discontinuing this car it’s so underrated good car for people with low funding
@@yeaaaaaaboiii yes true that cars big brother the cyborg r was great
They’re better off getting a used Corolla with more room
I hope they don't.
@@mark25983 you can list as many cars as you want that doesn't change that people want THIS car
Some broke people are broke because they are trying to keep up with the Jones. You wouldn’t catch them in this
Great little car. I bought one to use as a commuter car. Has been very reliable and economical. The SE has more features and style.
Great for Ubereats!
I have 2 Mirage g4 (Attrage here in Israel)2020. They are with automatic lights and wipers, touchscreen, emergency braking etc...all the goodies. And the cars are great! Cheap to own and maintain, roomy and comfortable, strong automatic climate control, very reliable and easy to drive and park. Engine is pretty weak, but once it gets up to speed, you can do 75mph at highway without any problem.
Reviews like these always amaze me. This cars purpose is to get to and from, it doesn’t need quick acceleration, fancy upgraded crap etc… these cars have practically no maintenance, amazing gas mileage amongst other things. Mirage owners are very satisfied with these cars as it’s the whole point of buying one. I own a 2019 hatchback that still has very low mileage, just 18k and have had no issues with it driving on the freeway, in the city etc… I wish Mitsubishi wasn’t discontinuing the Mirage after 2024. Dealers are obsessed with crossovers and SUVs now and these great little cars are sadly going to be obsolete future wise.
If you’re on the fence, definitely go take a test drive but also if you’re looking for speed and lots of features this car isn’t going to be for you. If however, you’re looking for great gas mileage- I usually average between 45-50mpg and don’t need all the bells and whistles but just a great reliable car, then the mirage may be for you!
You don't need to be a college student to need this car. You can be anyone needing a good car. My Mirage has 100,000 miles. Nothing has broke. I am 60.
I am NOT willing to pay 1000$ more dollars just to make a digital display
There are a lot of people that just need a car and have no real interest in fanciness. They want a vehicle that will get them to and fro reliably. I see nothing wrong with the car despite the sniping and snide comments. It’s what it’s supposed to be. I drive a lot and I recently had to buy a new car. I wanted to look at this one, but there’s no dealership within 50 miles. I had a versa once and it served its purpose, but it had a significant mechanical failure well before I would’ve expected it to.
although some countries really go for 'power' over savings, to each their own. Here in the Phils where we make those they are selling like hotcakes. Traffic is bad here so why go fast anyway? the good thing with this car its simple, basic, brings you anywhere you want to go. better than taking the bus :)
The Nissan Versa is 1,000x better. But I hope the Mitsubishi sells. We need more small, affordable cars. $80,000 pickup trucks suck.
I bet Nissan Versa is better, but Mitsubishi Mirage starts at several $1000s lower. So different market.
The Versa isn't as reliable either.
Discontinuing this so they can focus on SUVs? Jeez Louise. Never mind the Mirage, the world isn't gonna last much longer...
The Versa may be faster, but it is a lemon compared to the Mirage. And no, I wouldn't be fine paying an extra thousand for a more digital gauge. The point is savings and reliability, not cool technology.
Exactly!
They are both owned by Nissan..
@@windanthonystream That explains a lot! lol
How awful is it that the crooks who run the car companies are getting rid of affordable cars? I, for one, hate crossovers and SUV's. Also, I'm not fond of the overpriced junk they sell that requires six and seven-year loans.
I wholeheartedly agree with you! Car companies are too greedy nowadays!
So are airline companies, Amazon, gas companies, solar panel companies (PPAs, tax credits, double charges etc), lobbyists, etc. Mitsubishi Mirages, Kia Rio they are all overpriced for being a basic car. People say they are cheap but I don't call $19-20K cheap for a tin can with some goodies in it, but it is what it is these days with inflation.
As little as i like the Mirage, as little as i've always liked the Mirage for being such a downer of a car, uninspired, boring, same interior for 10 years by now...
The worse the car industry gets, the more i respect Mitsubishi for soldering on in giving America cheap new transporation with warranty, to let the people who need it not worry.
Doug DeMuro was wrong about the Mirage. It is a dreadfully boring car, but for some, it's the only option.
For those paying attention, traffic has gotten so bad you are stupid if you are worried about getting up to 60 MPH. I own TWO Mirages!!! I have gotten up to 69.5 MPG in 2017 !!! I took a pic of the display !! I have a 2018 too that I have gotten 60 MPG. So, ha on you... I love going 500 miles between fill ups !!! I've owned Lincolns in the past, big deal .. 16 MPG.... This guy is a spoiled little joke boy.... these are where the jokes are aimed.. Noise ?? SHUT UP AND GET OUT!!! YOU'RE WALKING !!!
SHUT UP LITTLE BOY ..
Mirage is the best economy car and to people who only wants the basics.
In Thailand it is under $12K now. I just bought one 😊
We have a 2017 Mirage for a regular car. It has about 60,000 miles with no issues other than normal maintenence. If I am careful driving I can get 52 mpg. Plenty of power for me, only one speeding ticket so far.
I'm glad its been so good to you, but how did you manage to get a speeding ticket in that?
30 in a 25 zone? lol
@@w.d.gaster1550 I took this car home at 110mph, it can go lol
Really wished Mitsubishi offered a stronger engine like a 1.3/1.4/1.5 4 cylinder with about 90-100 HP and slightly less MPG giving the customer the option to choose between two engine sizes
Or a turbo
@@islami658 turbo is dumb...it will strain and damage the engine.
@@duckling4393 the crappy 3 cylinder they put in there is good for 300hp, its way overbuilt (strength wise)
Bigger engine less space to work on in that small hood, slap a turbo trim all wheel drive manual.
Why, just buy a different brand and get a better car
Looks like a very nice minimalist car!
I wish Mitsubishi kept the 5 speed stick in NA.
The Ralliart version screams 5speed... its too bad.
At $16,000 and above it’s definitely not a good CHEAP car. A cheap car for lower income levels folks shouldn’t cost more than $10k.
Btw, like the way you completely trashed talked your way about the car’s performance, built quality, looks . 😂😂😂
What planet are you living on? A new 10 grand car has not existed for at least the last 20 years or so.
there's something appealing about cheap hubcaps
10:29 correction, its beautiful, and no id prefer it over digital display. And fuck paying 1000 more for it
These were cancelled in Australia not long ago. It was no longer going to comply with side impact standards, and mitsubishi wouldnt pay to update it.
Luckly where I live (italy) is still available but many cars of this segment are rapidly disappearing from the market. best quality for price ratio in this crazy new brand car market.
Car of my 20s! Cheap, cute, and easy to park👌🏼
I just took one of these babies home 220 miles, no complaints besides my gas tank runs out. I did 110mph no problem.
Turning on the engine sounds BAD though lol sounds so weak
110mph.. wow your brave. Mine struggles at 85mph
@waheeb_m 😂 omg it wouldn't get on the freeways here in CALIFORNIA SoCal lol. I went to Cerritos and drove a 2024. The guy was like what you drive now. My 14 Plum Crazy purple Challenger R/T Classic I bought new and get 13 mpg. The gas was almost 7 dollars a gallon last summer here. I'm thinking of this thing. I know they wanted my Challenger. I was like no trade its been paid off years ago and I have 40k miles on it.
@@thomasthurston6656 yea it's the cross wind that it struggles with. If you are used to a powerful vehicle, this thing will piss you off lol. But i get 44 mpg without trying so there's that.
@waheeb_m Yeah, I have always had a big car or truck. We don't get much wind in SoCal, but it needs to be able to do 80 to 90 on the freeways. So far, it's the Mirage Soul and Venue. I didn't drive a Soul yet. They also have a 10 year 100k mile warranty. Who knows if I would keep it 10 years.
I'm car shopping and did a test drive on the ralliart edition. Obviously the engine is sluggish, but i was shocked at how sluggish it is. You really have to push on the pedal to get it moving and when you are moving, the engine is SCREAMING and shaking. The sales person said i was really moving in the car and i looked down, we were going 40mph.
But lastly, you feel like you're sitting on top of the car not in the car, so the body roll is unsettling.
With that said its a good car that im sure you can get used to. However to buy brand new, getting something used in the same price range is a better value. And there arw enough older models of this car that makes more sense too.
Its a great car if you're desperate and no shade because im almost there too with my rotting frame 2000 galant GTZ.
My suggestion test drive one to figure out if you can live with the mirage
The worst part about the hatch model is how close the rear seat is to the rear of the car. If you get hit from behind, those rear passengers will probably be toast. For that reason, I prefer the G4 sedan model.
Yep, they're the first ones at the accident scene! 😉
My 1,8litre from 2005 still goes well
In indonesia and malaysia theres some cheap new car like this but in manual no radio no ac
Called axia E (for malaysia market)
Daihatsu Ayla D (for indonesia market)
Only $5000
Looks ok from the front, "that's what I told her."
GEICO app tracks my drive and has been complaining about sudden acceleration and tight turns in this thing.
I think these are great little cars. The only negative that I see is the CVT transmission because it is a JATCO unit and they are not very well-built. However, one of these cars with a 5-speed manual transmission fits the bill perfectly. Sadly, driving a manual transmission is kind of a lost art these days.
Not available in 2024!...Stuck with that questionable CVT transmission.
@@curbozerboomer1773 This saddens me. Especially since I know that it's available everywhere else in the world. It's not exactly the same but similar to how the Nissan Versa is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission in the base trim. They don't give you the option of buying a higher-spec version with anything other than the cvt.
Nissan killed the versa too, Sentra will be the cheapest car. Mitsubishi might consider keeping it past 2025. Cant beat the 5 year bumper to bumper and 100,000 mile power train warranty
Does it have airbags all around? I would worry about getting hit hard, by most any other vehicle. This car is cute...but the more you showed us, the more I was thinking about a Nissan Versa...a couple thousand more might be worth the improvements?
I have the mirage sedsn and it's awesome
i bought a brand new fiesta st for 18.5k 5 years ago. wrap your brain around that.
Back then the Mirage was like $8k-$12k, so it's all relative.
If it was $10k brand new I think it would be a reasonable buy
You keep repeating about “a few thousand more you could have this or they could do that”. Bro how many reliable, cheap, fuel efficient sub $20k vehicles do we have in America. A few thousand more defeats the purpose of these cars.
😂😂 you’re not lying
Versa is comparably priced and a much more competent car overall. Heck, for about $1,500 more you can get a 2024 Trax, which is much larger, faster, better handling, roomier, and safer. Worth the small price penalty.
@@palebeachbum wont last as long with that turbo on the engine.
For the same price I’d just go the next size up and get a slightly used Outlander Sport with a 2.0 four cylinder. Still gets about 30 mpg highway, twice the horsepower and handles much better in the snow with 4 W or AWD.
Dont forget to mention RISE,Mitsubishi exclusive
8:45 its missing a plastic trim on the rear below the cloth cover. maybe because it the ultimate base model but it has plastic trims/floors on each side.
The more stuff on a car has the more stuff they is to break simple is better even manual roll up doors are better
I was given a mirage for my rental. It does what it needs to I guess but I’m very used to my 2022 Corolla LE all the features and it obviously has better get up and go power. The mirage isn’t bad I would say little annoying little loud little ugly looking but it’s gotten me to point a to point b and I’m stuck with it for at least 3 1/2- 4 weeks
Before anyone comes at me I’m a die hard Toyota fan. If it’s not Toyota I’m utterly weary
@@rachelelizabeth346 Weary or wary?
@@bobjohnson205 wary sorry!
@@bobjohnson205 but starting today I’ve started getting used to how the car goes and runs so it’s Okay and since me and this rental are gonna be together till the 14th of august

Toyota Tacoma has drum... Lots of manufactures still make drums in the rear.
this is basically a japanese kei car disguised as a usdm car. lol
a good alternative to the 2024 mitsubishi mirage..... is two 2023 mitsubishi mirages.... old joke but fun joke
Where I live the Mirage has already been stripped off. Only the Attrage's exist now (they are still going strong)
It was awesome… when it was discounted $3000 Off from r $10,000. $16900 is WAY too MUCH! -20k I could get a Corolla?!
I was genuinely considering this for my first new car purchase for a daily driver until I learned about the steering wheel not bringing itself back. Genuinely sucks that it doesn't have that.
Mitsubishi Mirage owners get used to it, at least do a test drive
@@johnkonde1975 I will test drive it, but it seems like it takes a while to get used to
I test drive a mirage last year and it bring itself back. I love the super cold AC and turning radius is great
It goes back, it is just first models didn’t
I still don't understand why somebody would buy a car like this especially brand new. There's so many good solid used cars that I could buy for the amount this car is sold for brand new. If I wanted a very tiny car that's fuel efficient I'd buy a used Honda Fit. Personally I won't drive anything smaller than a Honda Civic that's the cut off for me when it comes to small cars
The Mirage is brand new come with 5 years- 60k mileswarranties.
the use car market is still overpriced from covid. plus this comes with a dealer warranty and new bad driver history.
This car can barely get out of its own way though... To me an extremely slow car is dangerous. It must be fun merging on a highway with this thing especially with 4 passengers sitting in it. This is not a car it's a covered scooter with seats for 4 maybe 5
this is not a 2024 mirage, the 2024 does not have wheel cap
Uhhh yes it does, it’s definitely a 2024.
each countries have different base trim
Are you gold pony’s brother by any chance? You kinda look like him.
Lmao no but we are in the same area.
@@overdrive_reviewsohh ok thanks for replying 🤭
You can buy a base Jetta for about 2-3k more (with normal rebates) and it's a way better car. I understand the appeal of the Mirage, but even at $18k it's overpriced for how low tech, and low quality it is.
this is a hatchback tho and has much better gas milage
@@ercushkakulmetov7458 Hatchback isn’t needed for everyone, and I wouldn’t say much better. 29/42 vs 36/43 and personally my Jetta has been getting 40 combined which is very good imo.
No rust and very mint condition
All u need is to know your speed, pay a tho, more, stupid remark
Mitsubishi? Low maintenance? LOL
Bmw? Low maintenance?
yes never owned a car with lower maintenance cost or one thats more reliable
Man, who designs these cars, the front looks really bad, ( the 2020 model looks much better in the front ) who needs more chrome, just extra work to keep it clean.
The front looks heavy, way out of proportion to the rest of the car, silly looking. Just make it simple, cute and affordable. a unique looking car, not a car with parts that are
taken from a larger car. No wonder sales are low. Look at how simple-looking
the expensive cars look, BMW...the less make-up the better.
incorrect the 2020 models looked liek bubbly crap boxes this looks modern n sleek
🤣
The front probably has to be built heavier looking because of frontal impact protection.
The Mitsubishi Mirage is a cheap terrible car!
Wish I had known that before putting 209k trouble free miles.
@@demonsaint1296for regular and non intensive work it’s a great car

nice little cheap car
How do you know?
it's a great car
Did the dealership get you behind a $130k Ram 3500? 😂
I just bought a 2024 SE hatch last week, pearl white. It looks a LOT better than this one, it came with 14 inch alloy rims and packed with a ton of features, its even got mud flaps. I got it for MSRP of $18,665.00, but it comes fully loaded. The “pro” critics reviews of these are pure bull… The engine is more than quick enough and capable for city and highway use, it is comfortable, the interior trim is NOT as terrible as they put it. It is the perfect commuter car and grocery getter. It gets constant 40+ MPG, the engine is ridiculously simple to service and maintain, and the reliability is impressive. It is a shame that America didn’t get it with this category of cars… But you know, gotta get that V8 Tundra to go get some bread and milk at the corner 7eleven by yourself 😜
I have a gray 2024 SE as a second car, and I love it more than I’ll admit to my friends. I appreciate how simple it is and what it can do with only 78 horsepower. It made me rethink what you really need in car.
Jumping over to pickup trucks, I wish we got the Toyota Hilux Champ in the US. Most pickups are too expensive and complicated these days.
You can always buy rims. Lol, why bother.
Bro WTF?! Are you reviewing that Car??? Or Criticizing it for being outdated???? In the times like this! Where inflation is utterly out of control!! Who cares about the Quality but outdated Car for 2024?! Who cares?! The Majority of People living in America right now doesn't make a Six Figure Income! So who cares IF the dashboard of that Mitsubishi Mirage is 90's or Microsoft 99 of outdated!!! As long as it is brand new for its Pricetag!!! Actually $18,000 is a bit pricey! Mitsubishi should sell that car for $12,000! So people can afford it instead of buying a $24,000 used Car with 80,000 miles!!!
I would say that Mitsubishi Mirage is the most Cheapest Car that American People can afford at this time! Out of Control Inflation, High Insurance Costs!, Skyrocket Mortgage payments up! Medicare costs, Rent!!!! Gasoline Price!!! And the friggin Groceries are too damn expensive nowadays!!! So who can still afford a $24,000 car?? If Mitsubishi can sell that car for less brand new!!! And that car consumes only a little gas?? 39mpg (Non Hybrid) it's just a Naturally Aspirated 3 Cylinder Engine?? Why not???
Whatever uneducated car reviewers says about that car, I love mine!!
I would guess, that a guy could find a one or two year old Mirage for 10-12 grand...These cars, despite their cheapness, have turned out to be reliable. A TH-cam mech has torn apart a 3cyl engine used for 300,000 miles, and noticed that the engine was still in relatively good shape! When I was a young guy in the late 1960s, many friends of mine-and me--drove older VW Bugs, and did not mind putting up with the lack of acceleration...back then, 25-30mpg was a good deal! You get what you pay for, and for the money, this car is a relative bargain...and it has AirCon? Amazing, for the money. However, for a couple grand more, the Versa sounds more civilized.
We as a nation have become Such Whining Little Brats! Back in the 80s, in my Teens, this would have been a Loaded Little Car with obvious things that were'nt even available back then! I've had more Posh cars but I definately appreciate Back To Basics cars and this seems like a Great Deal from all I've heard and read! We don't need cars that are so fast that Everybody drives like a Psycho! We need to go back to simple and stop believing the Lie that we need Loaded Cars with Nascar Engines to live our Best Lives!
I owned one for 4 years. I have mixed feelings about it. All of his complaints are valid if you've ever owned anything nicer. However, I found it comfortable and I liked the soft ride. The wobbly handling and weak brakes are another story. I love the sound of that 3cyl. I just wish the car had more sound insulation, an additional 25hp, and vastly better crash test ratings.
Mitsubishi continues to impress me with their exceptional cars, which unfortunately they often choose to discontinue despite their popularity.
i have one of these on order, in Canada, they increased their content with standard 15" Wheels, front heated seats and a bunch more, we got it in the same color as your test mule too! This will be my 2nd Mirage, absolutely love the car for what it is! do I need more power? no thanks, better handling? nope, its fine the way it is, improve it in any way? no way man! it's a entry-level commuter car that does what it intends and does it very well, the only thing that sucks is that from what I hear, 2025 will be its swan song!
im getting mine sometime next week as my first car. im beyond excited for it, and similarly to you, i dont care about the handling, power, etc. it gets me from a to b woth great fuel efficiency and reliability, and thats all i need
How long did your first mirage last?
@@xoanone I love mine, but back in the last I drive a '67 Beetle with whopping 53 go. Just need to get used to these lower-power cars.
Granted, my Bug had opt-out cylinders and two-week carb, so it was actually quite good at acceleration.
No problems passing or merging with the Mirage.
agree
Did u get it yet?
This car is so much fun to drive. You can whip it around like a go cart. Get the SE if you buy one. It has so many more features than the base model. I don't know why everyone reviews the base model. Add K&N filters and consider a chip. It really is a blast. Takes you back to the 90's. Great second car or primary car if your budget is tight.
It's called the Mirage b/c I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Bought my 2018 mirage brand new for 9000 USD in 2019 has been flawless all this time and still has plenty of warranty left
I have this model. Just over 18k out the door.
10 year, 200k mile warranty.
It will still be under warranty when it's finally paid off.
Low monthly payments.
Good everyday driver. No it does not have a center console, no it does not have any peal out power.
Yes , it's reliable and good on gas. If you need something that's gonna be reliable and last forever, with low maitenance cost, then this is a really awesome car.
I love mine. Everyone knocks these cause they're not racers but they're not meant to be that.
I really appreciate your multiple reviews on the Mirage. Thank you!
thanks! glad you find them useful.
I got the 2024 Mirage, got the ES in yellow, and really like it. I went from a 2004 Cadillac Deville. I find the Mirage more comfortable, the seats are softer. It's also a smaller car, sort of go-kart like, which I really like.
I like the car so much I've put 21,000 miles on it in 7 months just driving around for fun. Only really needed to put 2,000 miles on it, rest was for fun. The car is a bit loud on rough roads, might add some sound insulation around the wheel wells. But I like the engine. It has plenty of power for me, I tend to drive in the mountains, and on the interstate. Very little city driving. Taken it up to Onyx Summit, elevation 8,500 feet, at max capacity, well, over. I had 780 LB in it, the max rated is 820. But due to elevation the max was about 700.
Either way, car was very slow at the top, 0-60 was about 40 seconds. But for me it had plenty of power, but you really could notice it unhappy at the top. Also with the seats folded, it has a ton of room inside. I haul financer, lawn mowers, flooring, lots of stuff.
I must add, I've never taken it across the country. Instead I took my moms Ford Maverick.. Not by choice though. She won't ride in the Mirage. I wish I took it though, the Mirage is more engaging, and uses less fuel, and is weirdly more comfortable.
Why won't she ride on the Mirage?
@@oscargonzalez5231 she is afraid of it because it's small she won't even take it around town let alone at speed
Glad to meet another Mirage aficionado! Take care of your yellow Pikachu and it will last you the rest of your life
Terrible review! Hes constantly slamming this car. It's an economy car. I would jump on it!
You do like to harp on how little the power is of these cars, I bought a '23 Mirage se last year, and reading up on the Mirage forum pages they have here you can pick up alot of points on how to make due with these cars; in fact you didnt even mention the S drive for the automatic, if you take the automatic shifter and put it into drive, then push it to the right, you'll be in Sport mode, which allows the valves to open higher for more fuel at the higher revs when merging onto a freeway, Ive done it many times a day, and the sport option, if you leave it topped out at 4,000 rpm you will have all the acceleration you need, and once you are at the speed you need to be at, just push the transmission shifter over to the left again for economy driving. Now that you know how to properly drive one of these, everything else about them you did capture right, they are easy to work on, have a 100,000 mi/10 yr warranty, have a great reputation for being reliable and trustworthy cars to own.
You are correct in saying theMirage is being discontinued soon. We lost the sedan 5 years ago in Australia with the hatch being discontinued last year. Sales were always slow but that is due to it really was sold I city locations due to country use for going to the shops is sometimes a 100km drive. They are a great little car though. In saying this SUV sales now kill any sedan sales from all manufacturers in the country. Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and Chinese junk are the only sedans available in Australia now. I miss the Mitsubishi Lancer of which I currently have 3 and will not be updating any of them to a SUV or EV car.
i love so called critics- ...
Worst review so far this year.👎👎👎🖕
good enthusiastic presentation-ty
I might consider it for urban use if had a manual trans to make better use of the very limited power output, as I'm not a fan of cvt transmissions.
In canada it's still going to be 21k ish after taxes to have a base model, anything else is 30k, a versa is around 25k. CVT Transmissions are not known to be the most reliable and are expensive to repair. A Quality Sedan like a Mazda 3 or Nissan Sentra/Hyundai Elantra either way will put you 27-31k after taxes and a garbage interest rate won't likely go below 6% less you can pay it off in under 4 years. The price of one of these mirages will get you a low or normal mileage 5-10 year old car with little to know warranty and an interest rate and shorter term loan that will probably still cost you the same if not more then either a versa or mirage.
The market is such a joke. These were 10k new once, and not much has changed aside from a few standard features, including some mandatory like a rear backup camera. But i suppose if you don't want to take the risk of buying something significantly older and higher mileage and have it inspected then well you can have a mirage for 300$ a month and pretty good warranty.
Finally a car that wont give me a hard time finding parking!!!!
They dropped the manual so no, it can't be better
Perfect for rideshare
SUVs are mom vehicles *STOP BUYING THEM YOU DON’T NEED IT YOU DON’T HAVE AN EXCUSE*
Hyundai venue, mazda 2 or mirage ?
Mazda 2, but it's more expensive. If you can even find one. They are no longer sold in North America.
Love my Venue...but it's $5-6000 more money (I have the Limited model)...
Does anyone one who has it knows if you can out 2 child carseat in yhe back ?
The G4 Sedan is actually quite spacious in the rear... you may not get them in the hatch version.
Two seats can fit for sure
buy a slimfit carseat, someone fitted 3 carseats at the back... the only challenge is the stroller, limited choice and it occupy ~60% trunk space
You review cars and can’t pronounce Porsche? Yes, I’m that guy.
Literally no one says Porsh-uhhh - let’s be honest.
@@overdrive_reviews Those that are car savvy do. Don't want to sound uneducated. I grew up in the 1960's with an uneducated father born in 1915. So, I remember how embarrassed I was when he mispronounced words. Then I got a job working for a local school district and working around college educated people every day I worked extra hard not to embarrass myself.
@@overdrive_reviews Literally everyone who is a “car guy“ does with the modern exception of Matt from @carwow Although it’s looking like most British people do just say PORSH.
@@nicholase.9195 what if I'm British!?! :)
@@scrambler69-xk3kv Dude, go to therapy and stop unloading your childhood trauma on a car review video.
@0:06 Utra cheap doesn't necessarily mean steal of a deal if you talk about value.
In this case, it does. I can barely find 2018 or newer used cars with fewer than 60k miles for less than 10k in my area (my first car was a 2012 Impreza with 55k miles, which I bought in ‘18).
0:31 for folks who want simple A-B transportation, and don't want a ton of maintenance, and not a high car payment, just get a freakin base Corolla. It's so much better.
Except modern Corollas cost well over 20K, and have a LOT of problems. They're not the reliable econo-boxes they were back through the 90's.
It’s about the price here. You can get it for an $85/week lease with 0 down right now
Corolla is plagued with problems like all other newer Toyotas
If your videos are worth a damn you should not have to ask people to loke and subscribe. For that reason you earned yourself a thumbs down.
15:32 does the center console cover fold back as a cupholder?
