2015 Mirage owner here with 312,000 miles on it......BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED! Still haven't had any problems out of the car, and it's been a life saver with the way gas and everything else has gone up! Definitely a wise investment for someone who doesn't give a sht about what people think but want good reliable transportation.
I'd have to disagree, sometimes walking or cycling can be enjoyable. but in many cases people buy huge SUVs when this is all they really should need to be satisfied
Buddy of mine has had one for around 8 years as a hatchback with 71hp. It's been very reliable and great on fuel, and it gets you from A to B. The build quality is extremely cheap but functional, but it's obviously quite the uncomfortable little egg. Really not bad though for shorter commutes
Short commutes? Ive driven my 2017 SE across the US 3 times now and many other roadtrips here in the US, somehow not dead yet but the car is holding up great.
they're meant for heavier loads (hence higher torque) and we can safely say most won't even carry that much shit with them all the time Also i think they chose the wrong configurations turning miles per gallon into gallons per mile 🤷♂️
People love to rag on the Mirage (I remember Doug Demuro calling it one of the worst cars he'd ever reviewed) but I like it. I think we need more small, cheap, entry level cars, especially with rising fuel costs. Plus, and I know someone will give me shit for saying this, but the roads would be a hell of a lot nicer with less gargantuan SUVs and pickups and more cars like this.

Yes i wish they would bring back cheap cars again like they used to have like Honda Nissan and so on.

There's nothing wrong with It. It just drives like a piece of hot turd on the road. Doug is not wrong. For the price I would buy the Fiat 500. Faster, better looking, and more comfortable.
Ive had one of these for over 40k miles. Let me dispel some myths. The speed- It is slow. But it can get up to 70 to 80mph (avg interstate speeds) completely fine as long as you dont feather foot the pedal. It is not scary at all to get on the highway The interior build quality is cheap but solid. Besides maintenance- ive not had to do anything else to it

OP is capping... You dont get to 70-80 mph easilly. Flooring it take over 10 sec to get to 70. The wheels are so small that if you take a ramp or any turn too fast(too fast for THIS car), you will be on 3 wheels.

For those on here saying "Why buy a Mirage when you can get a Versa for close to the same price?" understand that after dealer fees, tax, tag, and title, the base CVT Versa is still going to be $2 to $3k more than a top trim SE Mirage. Also the Mirage has proven reliability regarding the use of the JATCO CVT7 going back a decade. The Nissan Versa cannot say the same at all.
The CVT in my original owner 2018 Mirage was over heating at 40k even though I changed the fluid, and continued to over heat all the way to 98k miles, when I get rid of the pos. I was VERY pissed off after doing research on Jatco and made it clear how disappointed I was that they are using such horrible transmissions in their vehicles on the show room floor in front of customers. I said it pretty loudly that "a car with under 100 crank hp shouldn't be over heating a transmission." I got looks from a few salesman but I didn't care. I still have vids saved on my computer of it doing even after they warranty fixed components because they refused to just get me a new transmission just two years after purchase.
@@jesuscarrillo4344 dang...that sucks! I would've got a Kia Rio if I were you...they hold same warranty as Mitshubishi does. Sadly, Rio is gone & Mirage 2024 is suppose be last year. No more under 20k New cars..used cars about to be booming with prices all over the place!
Ive owned alot of vehicles. this one has been the most reliable in my opinion. 300,000and counting. 100% better than toyota even. Every other brand is dog shit now. Sure this car is slow and has nothing fancy bit it works every time. And i have saved enough on fuel to buy another one.
Rented one lf these in Mexico, it lacked a rear view camera and i think ABS and side airbags… it was pretty fun to whip around the streets of Mexico City, fun little thing.
I thought it had been in a rear end collision, at first. I sat in one of these at a car show circa 2015 and I swear the door panels were held in with deck screws. I know some people want the secure feeling of having a new car with a warranty, but the idea of financing one of these things for 5 years fills me with sadness.
what? ahahahahahah the standard Panda has 70 hp it's not like we drive 35 hp cars like in the 70s 😂 Moreover the exact same car is sold also in Italy, same engine just it's a 5 door citycar and not a 4 door one. And it's not like it sells like hot cakes...
I mean for how basic this car is & the price. It still has nice features. Touch screen with Bluetooth. Collision warning. Power everything other than seats. But the 3 cylinder engine 😂. 78 hp?? May as well put a golf cart engine in there.
If you guys had to pick between a new versa or a new mirage which would you pick? It appears to me from videos and reading that while the Mitsubishi may be more reliable in the long run, the Nissan would be more enjoyable and more comfortable with still producing pretty decent gas mileage
It's for people who don't know anything about cars and wanting to be independent. My cousin bought one of these a month ago (I believe she got hit already) after she bought a car from an auction that was a manual. Despite being offered to be taught how to drive standard she traded it in for a Mirage. We all told her off from buying one of these and told her to get other used cars such as a prius but she ended up buying it anyway. overall I'd say I wish the insurance company totals it but knowing her I have a suspicion she would skip gap insurance...
This is the only new car I would buy. It's like a modern day geo metro. Looks easy to work on and I've been seeing them with 300k miles on stick shift ones
The major worry about getting the Mirage, other than the obvious shortcomings it has in comfort and safety, is the long term prospects of Mitsubishi in North America. They're currently getting by (only just) on the relatively strong sales of their SUVs, but there's no guarantee they'll continue to sell enough of those in that ultra competitive segment of the market for their business to remain worthwhile going forward. So, I'd much sooner pay a bit more and get vehicle from a more established brand.
im driving this as a rental car while my Fit is in the shop, its the most miserable driving experience in my life. Counting hours till I can get my baby back.
Beef up the engine slightly, I mean like slightly... put a little turbo, nothing crazy and bring the HP/Torque to about 100 to 110 HP and you'll have a great little car that you won't be terrified of driving in fast moving traffic
It would be nice if it at-least had close to 100hp that would make it more safer when your trying to pass someone or getting in the highway at highway speeds. Honestly if I had money and money was not a issue I would buy one of these in stick and do a engine swap. After doing that this car would be truly amazingly fast lol
The Versa is better and now officially cheaper, given its reduced price and superior engine. So long as you get the Versa in a manual (yes learn how to drive a manny, it's the best anti-theft tool, plus Nissan's CVTs suck), it can last you 300,000 miles with good maintenance
Had a brief test drive for the first time and it's very agricultural and interior screams spartan. I like the 3 cylinder note but it's way overpriced. It felt like a car that should be the cheapest car in the world. The CVT felt fragile as well.
That 140 MPH speedometer is absolutely hilarious. No way on earth that eggbeater under the hood will get this sardine can to 100 MPH safely. It's closest econobox competitor from a price standpoint the Nissan Versa an infinitely better choice in terms of comfort and performance. A word to the wise is sufficient. 🚘🔍. --- 🤔
if americans could take a look at the crappy Mirage we receive in Panamá, they wouldn’t call that simple 😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a Benz level equipment in comparison.
You all know that if Mitsubishi decided to make a new lancer (not the newer fugly hatchback lookin' ones, i'm talkin' evo 7) this thing would be immediately be thrown to the pound. You wish they'd make a new one.
I have a 2018 Honda Fit and it's the most unreliable poorly built car I've ever had. Automakers dont put any effort into small cars. The quality, looks, durability is just not there. It makes more sense to buy a better made, better looking, more powerful quality used car. Also safety is a factor. Also looks. It got embarrassing to be seen in the Fit. Driving a modern day small car isn't a very desirable image to give. Older models from decades past however are much cooler.
Nah bro The versa is even cheaper, and the Versa will still beat the mirage for everything. And for the versa having 122 horsepower and the mirage having 78 is insane 😂😮

Had a brief test drive for the first time and it's very agricultural and interior screams spartan. I like the 3 cylinder note but it's way overpriced. It felt like a car that should be the cheapest car in the world. The CVT felt fragile as well.
why does this car look easy to work on its modern
That 140 MPH speedometer is absolutely hilarious. No way on earth that eggbeater under the hood will get this sardine can to 100 MPH safely. It's closest econobox competitor from a price standpoint the Nissan Versa an infinitely better choice in terms of comfort and performance. A word to the wise is sufficient. 🚘🔍. --- 🤔
Why does that look like a 2009 car just with a touch screen
They should make a wagon version 😂
The people who hate on this car are idiots who go into debt buying some junkass suv/pickup thinking it will impress people.
if americans could take a look at the crappy Mirage we receive in Panamá, they wouldn’t call that simple 😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a Benz level equipment in comparison.
No tape deck? Then I don’t want it.
You all know that if Mitsubishi decided to make a new lancer (not the newer fugly hatchback lookin' ones, i'm talkin' evo 7) this thing would be immediately be thrown to the pound.
You wish they'd make a new one.
I have a 2018 Honda Fit and it's the most unreliable poorly built car I've ever had.
Automakers dont put any effort into small cars. The quality, looks, durability is just not there. It makes more sense to buy a better made, better looking, more powerful quality used car.
Also safety is a factor.
Also looks. It got embarrassing to be seen in the Fit. Driving a modern day small car isn't a very desirable image to give. Older models from decades past however are much cooler.
Nah bro The versa is even cheaper, and the Versa will still beat the mirage for everything. And for the versa having 122 horsepower and the mirage having 78 is insane 😂😮
I’ll take the Versa over the mirage it’s the same price and has a better looking interior more power
It used to be the cheapest when it was a hatchback. Versa is now cheaper.
Это уже не машина. Это не те митсубиси, которые мы помним
Ford made a fiesta 1.0L but their engines are absolutely horrible. Customers reporting their engines going out as soon as 60,000.
whopping 78HP and 74 for torque? ? :(
Dude never said how much??😮
This car looks like it came out in 2003
I hate those kinds of door handles
A 2022 Dacia Sandero looks so much better
Not same as my car(2023 mirage g4)
That was the review😂
ngl this looks like some cars from 2005
basically the same car as 10 years ago
Corolla is better since it's way easier to maintain and repair.
It’s slower than a CHEVY SPARK 😂
Nope
@@rickkarl7961 oh yea it’s 90 hp 😂😂
@@RealKevGotEmMy '67 Beetle with 53 hp would blow a Spark off the road. So would my 80 hp Dodge Colt/aka a rebranded Mirage.
That's less horsepower than a smart car
78 horse power
I dump truck only has about 125 hp and can haul 12k pounds
Early Beetles have less than 50. Did you have a point?
How is that even possible in 2023??? 😅😅😅😅
I will take my 1997 Toyota Corolla over it any day I have 100hp
