Damn, got my Mirage home yesterday, weather was pretty faer all week long and now it hits up to -38°C at night till early morning, turning the starter on this Mirage without a blockheater just brakes my heart!
I feel your pain.
We're on the downhill side of winter for sure. Might see one or two more nights of -20C this week, but after that, hello spring!

Good news about the block heater!
There is a video review saying they didn't have one, and a guy from Alberta bought one and there was no block heater option for him. Maybe Mitsubishi was just a bit delayed offering it? Or maybe your dealer just installed aftermarket heaters (they all are, anyway, I think - one company makes most of them).

Canoehead...
The block heater is a dealer install for sure.. when I bought the car they scheduled pickup for the next day as they had to install it and wash the car.
It (block heater) was on the option sheet though and I didn't have to ask for it.
Will weld for beer.

I just went outside to investigate my dealer installed block heater hoping to be of help here...

Sadly I cannot get a decent pic of the actual installed unit.
Here's what I did find. The heater is in fact threaded into the engine block to the right of alternator and just under the intake manifold. There is a rad hose leaving the block at this location and the heater may be tapped into the housing?
I will call my dealer tomorrow and ask for the relevant part#. Will post what I find out.
Will weld for beer.

I'd also like to know how many watts it is. If they don't know, do you have a kill-a-watt meter you can plug it into?
Thanks.

Ok.. as promised.
The block heater dealer installed on my Mirage is Mitsubishi part# MZ314528.
This should catalogue as the block heater for the 4cyl lancer motor. This is what fits..
I plugged it in with my Kill A Watt and it runs at 375 - 380 watts.
My dealer wants $80.00 Can. For one.
Will weld for beer.
