To each their own....the iA weighs just 2385 lbs...and getting 43.2 mpg average at this time.
I made the name IwantaMirage years ago when the car first came out. I have test driven the mirage 4 x...just couldnt pull the trigger due to various reasons and also many of the posts on this foum helped me make my decision. Im a huge fan of small cars and a 3 time Mitsubishi owner. I extol the virtues of cars as I see them. I am not blind to facts. If a car has issues I discuss it. If a car is good I discuss it. If Mitsubishi makes changes to the current Mirage and moves in what I consider to be a positive direction, I will revisit the car. I like to discuss the car and weigh the pros and cons on here as well as its competitors.
If you cannot bear to hear other points of view, then you may feel free to block or kick me out of this forum. It isnt personal (at least for me) ...not sure why you "dont understand".
I'm averaging upwards of 50 mpg in warmer weather with an affordable design uncomplicated with hybrid drive. This was a big draw for me.
Ambiguous references - could you be more specific? I'll have to guess you focused on the problems. That's cool. Of course, it's your decision. For various reasons, most here decided for not against.
Which is reasonable and understandable. But correct me if I'm wrong in that it appears you have made your decision and chosen an iA. If you have made up your mind, why come back to a Mirage forum and criticize it? It suggests you have not really settled on your decision?
You may be surprised to learn there's a lot of owners here who think it's pretty darn good as it is. Good thing for you there are lots of other choices available.
Hm. I don't think it's necessary to take the route of blocking opposing points of view, but as has been so eloquently put before, this forum is a gathering place for owners to help and support each other in their ownership of the current production of the Mitsubishi Mirage. If you would like to contribute to the support of this car, I think you'll find a more receptive audience here.
As a reminder, you can still get your very own Mirage. An iA, not so much. So much for the argument that Mitsubishi is abandoning North America. Looks like Toyota/Scion outdid Mitsubishi once again...

I hope Mitsubishi never leaves N.America...Id like to own another Evo one day.
If you read my posts you would know that I have sung the praises of the Mirage before...but I am also not blind to the issues (the very title of this particular thread for instance) and the problems the car has had. I buy cars frequently so I will continue to come and read posts and discuss it here. You dont have to approve.
You should not be upset with different points of view. All cars have merit. However this Mirage isnt up to the level of quality of past Mitsubishis in my opinion.
Ive been on this site since 2014 discussing the Mirage's pros and cons.
