Australia: Mitsubishi Mirage ES Road Test (webwombat.com.au)

[MetroMPG]

Following a week of testing the base ES CVT-equipped Mirage...

Pros

• smooth & zippy
• great for urban driving
• styling

Cons

• cabin/engine noise
• lack of cruise control
• ECO light isn't very helpful (not discriminating enough of driving style)

Verdict

...definitely worth a look for prospective subcompact car buyers ... will definitely give the subcompact market a real shake-up.

Do we have any explination of how the 'eco light' works?

The eco light lights up when fuel efficient driving is achieved.

It sorts of lights when your instant km/l (MPG) reaches above a certain point. I have no idea what the point is as mine is not equipped with eco light T.T

But it's useless if u r a dedicated eco driver plan to get a SG or UG for it.

All we know is it's a 4-bar display (some reviews have been calling it a 3-bar, but maybe they haven't seen the red one!). I imagine it corresponds to engine load / manifold vacuum.
