I think the safest bet is to ask them but I thought I would see if anyone else has ran into any warranty problems in regards to this?
I asked a friend that works at Mitsubishi. He just told me to make it back to stock. For example, if you have an Intake or have installed lowering springs, just make sure to replace it back to stock. I also have the bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage as well...but only for 5 years.
As for the reviews, it is pretty insane how bad the reviews are. I like how they compare it to a MUCH more sportier car in an entirely different class as well, for example, "If you're looking for the speed of a Corvette, you're looking at all the wrong places" Seriously?? When I watch a reviewer say something like that, I know they are just there to blabber and they lose almost all credibility as a 'automotive reviewer.
I think 'most' people don't realize that the Mirage was made to be a city commuter car. Driving this car on the small roads/streets, it does it's job extremely well. You're not making harsh accelerations on every stop, so again, I don't know why people are complaining about how 'slow' it is. All in all, the Mirage is probably the best car out there for someone who is getting into driving, it's small, it's very fuel efficient, it's easy to work on, replacement parts are very affordable for it, it forces you to drive the car (well, at least mine does ).
