Having the 5 speed manual Mirage makes my car more fun to drive. You're engaged in the whole driving process more with manuals. All hands and feet are busy. With automatics basically one hand and...
2017 Mitsubishi Mirage ES hatchback. Bought new from Alan Webb Mitsbusihi in Vancouver, WA in September, 2017. No accidents, non-smoker, no pets, adult owned....
Well Fummins it's the interior volume space that makes the Mirage oddly a compact car, and not a subcompact. They measure cars for the room passengers have, interior space.
One reason I've read for an unusually high MSRP plus constant factory cash rebates is that it lets buyers who don't have any money use the factory cash as a down payment, which makes it easier to get...
But, I've been pulled over twice in my Outlander Sport with my wife twice; 1) Because I apparently didn't signal. Got off with warning. 2) My license plate lights were not...
No, pulled over once for stolen car fitting the same description as my car. I showed the officer my ownership and insurance etc, and everything was good.
FWIW, Alan Webb Mitsubishi in Vancouver, WA (which is where I got my '17) has a ton of Mirages, including a host of 2017 G4 models listed as low as $10.489. I wish I needed another one (maybe a sedan...
Its kind of depressing to buy a car new at the Dealer and then see it depreciate 50% in only 2 years. This is definitely a life lesson to never buy new from the Dealer again. Makes me feel dumb

CR's data seems to confirm that the Mirage is the best combination of reliability, low cost, and fuel mileage. I think that's why most of us bought the car in the first place.
My '15 Mirage is just about to turn 100,000 miles (99,565 I think), and it hasn't had one problem. I checked the engine compression not too long ago,...
I hate to tell you this, but driving a Mirage probably makes you look cheap & tacky. If you put a single din stereo in a Hummer, she probably wouldn't notice.
Hello, everyone. After nearly three years with my 2008 smart fortwo, I decided it was time to do some research and see what cars would be a suitable replacement. The smart was a lot of fun but there...
As you've alluded to, most engine wear happens on a cold start. It's not because the oil is too thin, but because it's too THICK. Even a 0W oil is 10x thicker than optimal on a cold start.

Did the knocking occur before the recall for over rich fuel delivery in cold temperatures was completed? There were some documented engine failures due to this issue (which is why the recall was...
Just posting here for others. This winter, my 2014 mirage began making a knocking noise on cold starts on cold days only. This escalated to all cold starts making the knock. Power was sluggish,...
And another note, don't buy those refill cans that have oil in them! You AC system isn't leaking oil. You already have the correct amount of oil in the compressor. If you keep topping it off with...
