As a previous owner of a +400 hp beast. Undoubtedly, the Mirage is a great buy:

1. 10 Yr warranty
2. 40 mpg,
3. Even with its size, it is safer than most used car.
4. Good reliability.
5. Latest phone integration (so GPS, bluetooth)
6. Rearview camera (for inexperience drivers)
7. Not to mention that you can get it with extremely good discounts and 0% interest rate.

We have a winner. Not for an enthusiast but once again, that is not the target market.

I own a 2015 Mirage DE 5-speed.  31, 000 trouble free miles.  It won't win a drag race, it's not a Lexus,  but it can easily beat the EPA ratings if driven properly.  The Mirage is inexpensive, efficient, reliable transportation.  It's not an enthusiast's car but it's a great commuter car.  Every car has a purpose, the Mirage fits the bill for those who want a reliable vehicle for a low price point.  Read the reviews of owners versus the media, owners speak nothing but praise for the Mirage.  Journalists trash it because they're comparing it to a Lexus or a BMW.  For $13k, it's a damn good deal for a great basic little car with a kick ass warranty.

I own 2017 mirage and love it. Averaging 44 mpg actually got 61 mpg on a 200 mile trip. Just the sight of this car angers some people. It’s not for everyone but it’s the “geo metro” of today and some will be fine with that.

I want one. Rent is so expensive living in the west coast, and etc. alternative to not getting on the bus. Hell its so much traffic, so I won't ever go fast . I met a rich guy who had a Mirage he basically Praised this car more than his Porsche.

It's not pretending to be anything else other than a budget friendly economy car with some surprisingly nice creature comforts. My Mirage is saving me a lot of money. Gas, insurance, no repair costs (great warranty). Mitsubishi is underrated. More people should give them a look. I wouldn't consider the Mirage without deep discounts though. I think the sticker price is crazy high. Much nicer subcompacts out there for similar money.

Looks way better than the versa though

I have the hatchback, it is lighter. However, I do not find the engine underpowered at all. Normally, I never exceed 2, 000 rpm in my CVT Mirage (not even when accelerating) and that is the way it should be driven. So the engine has LOTS in reserve if need be.The CVT finds the torque for you. I just cruise along NOT slower than other traffic. With that, I get an average fuel consumption of 52 mpg over 30K miles in a cold densely populated area. Why do car testers think we want to be racing drivers?

Thanks for this review Dave!. I own a 2015 Mirage ES with Navigation and it took me a few weeks to get used to the 74 horsepower (2017 they updated to 78 horsepower) but once I got used to the power I am able to judge it no problem now.

You really touched on the positives and the negatives and I give you props for that. Most reviewers only bash the Mirage and are set on the negatives. It gets great fuel economy, lots of features and a great price and thank you for touching on them all!!!

Keep it up Dave your reviews are awsome!!!

[adrianotero]

this is not a wrx, it's meant to get you from point a to point b with using little a great warranty....

[BladeEdge]

I tell you what...just got an '18 and this little sucker is not bad at all! I'm even 6'2" and can fit pretty comfortably.

Actual owners love their Mirages. KBB is loaded with comments from happy Mirage owners. Reviewers always say bad things about Mitsubishi but they do not own this car. It is very reliable and cheap to operate yet comes with power equipment and a decent stereo on base model. And at least Mitsubishi was smart enough not to use touch screen slide for heat a/c like Honda did. Honda also has CVT but doesnt have drivers knee airbag like this Mitsubishi.

i own that one, just turned 1 year last august and its heaven. I drove and owned lots of car before, toyota vios, kia rio sedan, and an innova and yes, the mileage this car gives is just very good. it doesnt prentend to be a ferrari but its safe, pretty elegant and simple but contraty to popular belief, it do packs some punch even in hill climb specially youre alone driving. its just good.

It's ridiculous how people talk about an engine that isn't able to bolt out into traffic only to need gassing up a mile down the road because it gulps gas! I am so sick of these $50, 000 to $80, 000 cars bragging about the piddly 360 hp or whatever 600 hp who cares! You can't enjoy any of those hot rods anyway because as soon as you get on it Mr. War Pig is there to punish you with points and money removed from your wallet or purse! The Mirage brings back the good old days when people appreciated fine craftsmanship and frugality! Little engines are really cool and sound neat! I love them! If some people want and can purchase a tank to cruise the roads with, we'll let them! But I thank the engineers at Mitsubishi for designing such a great car that your average butt busting American can afford when we get paid at most one third of what we need per week to live working two jobs! The Mirage is a beautiful well built small car for us hard working underpaid citizens! Let the stingy elite drive their 4 ton tanks with evil smirks on their faces! I will smile back with a grin of joy from ear to ear because I am driving a car that rarely ever has to visit the gas pump, a car that rides well and has plenty of pep if you know how to drive, and a wonderful car for 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle they are driving and a car that practically will never have to make an appointment at the maintenance shop! Great car Mitsubishi! I love mine and there isn't another car I would rather drive!!

filipinos love this car! lots of them here in the philippines

[medellon]

Seems to be a decent car for the price. Sure the engine is weak but then again this car is less than 15 grand. We like to make comparisons to other cars that cost thousands of dollars more to find fault with cheaper vehicles.

[flimbonimbo]

They might not be the sportiest on the block, but they got them now for $10k new with a 10 year warranty. Can't really beat that for a fuel efficient new car.

My wife and i have the 2017 Mitsubishi mirage g4 ES edition with the 14" wheels and we love it. Very cute little car and only cost $24 to fill the tank too.

[abdulrahmanmohamedarifin]

Bought and happy with it. Living in a city with lots of traffic stops this is really worthy and not to mention cheap and fuel savings.

I have a Mirage hatchback and I think this review is overly critical of its power level. As far as noise, the car itself isn't terribly noisy, it's the factory tires which generate a lot of noise, if you drive it on a variety of pavement surfaces you'll realize that. The review also doesn't mention they ride fairly well. Take this from someone who regularly drives much larger cars like a Grand Marquis and a Fusion. I actually think the Mirage is a much better driving experience than the Ford Focus.

I drive this yesterday in red, my first car in about 8 years since my 93 Ford Mustang died out. Good car to start driving again
