I know I'll be asking Mitsubishi for the part numbers to the new suspension components :P I'm really waiting to see if the larger rotor and front brakes will mount to my later year mirage also!

The 2017 Mirage is listed as a "debut vehicle" at the upcoming Chicago Auto Show February 13-21, 2016. I'm going to go check it out compliments of my employer (a long with the '200 mile' Chevy Bolt EV).

The sedan already has an inch bigger front and rear brakes. They bolt straight up.

Is it true that the Mirage will have scrub brakes for 2017 ?

2017 Mirage hatchback has lost 1 MPG across the board in fuel economy?! This doesn't seem right. I was browsing the links in the OP and noticed for Fuel Economy you have it as "to be determined." I wasn't sure if you were aware but this link shows fuel economy figures for the 2017 hatchback now.

This is due to new EPA test guidelines. If you check all cars lost some more some less. I willing to bet that real life MPG likely went up

Also, those are lower then what they actually get. My 2014 got a lot better then what they posted ,as Hwy mpg. Mine was getting 51.8 on the Hwy. when they post them they post it a little lower ,that way it protects them from being sued if they don't get that kind of MPG.

Thanks for posting that!

I'd been watching the EPA site for numbers, not Mitsu's site.

Cyclopathic is right. The EPA revised how manufacturers determine "road load force" for the 2017 model year, which is a key part of determining fuel economy in a lab setting (dyno). It will affect lots of different cars -- even ones which haven't even changed for the 2017 model year.
