This is the very first Mirage review we've seen from Canadian (North American) media.
It's generally a positive, no-nonsense review. And "no-nonsense" seems to be how Mitsu is presenting the car to the press -- no over-promising here.
I think this report snuck out accidentally -- because the URL to the full story is now returning a 404 error. (Usually media reviewing cars have to agree to a publishing embargo up to a specified date set by the manufacturer, so maybe this one was published early by accident, then "un-published".)
Likes...
- efficient packaging: good interior room front & rear despite small footprint
- fuel economy
- warranty
- affordability
- "bright & bubbly" vibrant colours
Dislikes...
- won't win any drag races
- CVT engine whine under acceleration
Overall...
Read the full review & see more photos (once the embargo is lifted) ...It’s a back-to-the basics vehicle, which is what Mitsubishi sets out to deliver. And it delivers it well. Overall, the first iteration of Mitsubishi Canada’s foray into the subcompact segment left me with a smile on my face. A job well done.
