    Since when is Mitsubishi considered unreliable? I see 15 year old Galants, Lancers, Monteros, Eclipses all the time?

    I murdered my 97 Mirage with its teensy 12-valve 4G15. I drove that thing with little to no coolant for months constantly. Was always a quart low on oil. I was naive about car maintenance then, but it was still running when I donated it. Most durable engine I ever owned.

    I've been waiting for RCR to do the Mirage.... and I thought it was a reasonably balanced. He can be all over the map.

    A lot less poop and penis jokes than usual? Maybe the car's unpretentiousness rubbed off on his usual approach.

    I bet the car's owner has been on this forum. Wonder if he's a member.

    Yeah, definitely doesn't follow the typical reviewer's template! Bizarre mix of literary and lowbrow. Hit and miss, but I usually get a kick out of them.

    Most of them are short trip old lady owner vehicles that never had the fueling issue recall performed. Not really the cars fault!

    Context!

    Also... reporting problems people have had with Mirages isn't really "$#!+posting", is it?

    Sorry $hit posting comment was a joke. But let's just say the last 3 times I visited a Mitsu service center was less than ideal. 3 legitimate warranty claims denied in a row. The worst being a damaged heater core that was damaged by Mitsu techs when they replaced the engine, (which they didn't disclose to us before purchase, nor tell us why after the fact.) It was damaged by another Mitsu dealership, where we bought the car, which went out of business for shady business practices. So we take it to our local Mitsu dealer, explained the situation and that surely the bent heater core would be replaced under warranty. They looked at the car and said they'd get back to us in a couple of days. Fast forward 3 weeks after repeated attempts to get a hold of them and them dodging me, I just went in. They tried to give me the same run around. Finally after making me wait 2 hours the service manager comes out and says its denied under warranty because the engine was ripped out at another dealership! And it's tough titty for me that the place got shot down. I give you props though Nickels, the level of vitriol you have to read on here about your fellow Mitsu techs and how shady Mitsu dealers are in general and yet your still here. Your a harder man then me sir.
