Im at 115000 right now and I had an AC compressor die, a radiator have a small leak(not engine threatening) and right now I have a code for oil pressure for the mivec(not engine threatening just loss of Mivec). The cars running great still. I have a 2014 manual DE.

I'm pushing 75k, and I've had no serious problems(aside from the rear alignment issue which was resolved under warranty). I've got no squeaks or rattles(knock on wood), and I regularly stuff the car full of stuff and/or people. I'd love to get a euro transmission, for even better highway fuel economy, but otherwise the car performs admirably.
I have 48,000 on my '15 ES manual, and other than four corroded lug nuts which were replaced under warranty I have no problems to report. My girlfriend has 43,000 on her '14 DE manual and hasn't had any trouble. I know three other people who own Mirages ('15 CVT DE, '15 manual DE, '17 CVT ES), and I haven't heard of them having issues, either.
Major problems with these cars are very few and far between. The only real issues have been the factory rear-end alignment issues and the car's tendency to chew through front brake pads.

I have spent much time working in Malaysia where Mitsubishi and cars with Mitsubishi 3 cylinder engines are popular. Thanks to tariffs, imported cars are very expensive and home market cars are clones of imports and not well made. Consequently, they tend to keep cars a long time. And they have to sit in heavy traffic with AC goin 12 month a year. When cared for, the little 3's where quite reliable, though when in an auto equipped car, not particularly smooth.

I'm only at 45 k with my manual but I'd like to add that after a 15,000 mile oil change interval I lost/burned about a quarter of a liter worth of oil which I consider to be very low. This indicates a very tight and healthy engine.

When I think of longevity 200,000 miles or more.

You mention the Spark with a CVT, are all your Mirages also automatic?

I think weather in which you live inn affects the car a lot. Cold winters and ice and snow and salt is rough on a car. The more years it's spent in rough weather/ location the more it affects your cars life. That's with any vehicle.
