Got Mirage questions? Post them here to get answers from a Mitsubishi U.S. expert

Why don't we get the option for the armrest when other parts of the world got it?

Right?! This is one of the features that I miss more.

The Mirage interior is too blah and carrying the car's exterior color over into the interior (like is done on the Spark) will make the car more competitive. Colored plastic vs. black plastic--can not be expensive.

10) Any interior colour you want as long as it's black? (Admin edit)

Agreed: the south Asian / AU / NZ markets at least have some light grey or cream coloured interior panels, seat fabric & headliner that brighten up the inside of the car a lot:

Agreed, I like that interior a lot better.

The interior displayed in your picture is really classy. If MUSA put that in the ES sales would increase. The decision
Spark or Mirage would not have been tough. Mitsubishi needs to realize that many car buyers are women.

11) I'd like to know the car's frontal area measurement (useful for doing drag calculations).

The strange part about this is most of mitsubishis lineup has the 2 tone interiors except this one unless you count the purple vs black seats

+1 to the UK gearing question. Doesn't make much sense given our typical long highway/interstate drives.

That white interior would be impossible to keep clean. A more of tan color would be a better option.

12) Can Mitsu comment on the starter issue that seems to have affected the car in multiple countries?

I'd like to know what the official response was/is:
