Spotted a Blue Mitsubishi Mirage ES in Quitman Texas today

[Don]

Hi Guys,

I Spotted a Mitsubishi Mirage in Quitman Texas today. It was blue and the guy driving it was at Sonic. I zipped in to see how he liked it. and like it he did. It was a good looking Blue ES with a CVT trans. he siad he loved it. asked him about the mpgs he has gotten he said tanks were averaging between 42 and 45 mpgs.

He wasn't a Hypermiler or anything as i observed the car running with the head lights on while he waited for his order at the Drive through window, im am guessing he had the AC going to as i had him roll down the window to chat. Counting my car this is only the 3rd i have seen since purchasing ours last month. The other one i was 2 days ago in a parking lot while the wife and i were on the road to Longview. The look pretty sharp out in public.

thanks for reading
Don

Don, I know what you mean by Mirage's being scarce? I live just north of San Antonio and I've seen only one purple Mirage, I waved at the young kid driving and he flipped me off. See if I invite him to join our forum!! LMAO

That was funny, at least we know that isn't the typical Mirage driver.

I've seen a lot of Mirages in the last couple of months around San Antonio...

I see at least 4 a day on the south west side of San Antonio. It makes me wonder what West Loop Mitsubishi is letting them out the door for.

I'll be down at Canyon Lake here in about 2 weeks. Don't know if I'll have my Mirage down there or if we will take the truck. It's pretty hard to beat the gas mileage of the Mirage, but the truck has a LOT more interior room and storage room under the bed cover for my scooter and the stroller.

Well . . . I guess I need to get out more often!!

Don, that's great what you did when you saw that Blue Saphire Beauty!!!! Did you tell him about the Forum? That's the way it was here in the Pacific Northwest when I got mine in March of 014 it seemed like I was the Lone Ranger here with a blue Saphire mirage. But everyone that saw it loved it! And slowly I started seeing more mirage,s going around. To where today I see at least 3or 4 a day here. But I've noticed a lot of women driving them. Today I saw a white, black , kiwi . I bet that made your day.

Hi debburl,

I told him about the forum, i told my dealer about the forum too. heck i tell everyone about the car and the forum because both are great and go hand in hand. Most of the people i talk to know that i drive slow and like to get the best fuel numbers i can..i tell them to me Smoking Cigs and Driving a gas hog are the same in that the main product is just being burnt up. So some think that the little car gets great fuel mileage because of how i drive it. I tell them about my wife then. then i can see the wheels start turning in their heads. I haven't driven the car in almost 2 weeks except to go fill the tank for my wife.

She has been working far enough away from home to need to drive the car. ruffly 110 miles a day. I only drive it to the gas station to fill so she doesn't have to. all of her tanks have been over 45 mpg avg and the last two were 46.5 and 47.5. the people at her work have named the car the little green frog lol and the wife has fallen in love with it. to the point that she says she thinks when her truck is paid off she might be getting another Mirage for her to drive. hard not to love transport that is fun to drive and with AC running bust 45 mpg avg to a normal driver.

Thanks for reading, Don
