Getting ready to flip 100K on my 2017 Mirage I bought new with 8 miles on the odometer in January 2017. Upgrades included factory driving lamps, window vent shades, 15" rims/tires, and rear VW spring swap.
Maintenance all done by me. Regular 7500 mile oil changes with 0w20 synthetic oil, air and cabin filter, and manual trans fluid change at 60,000 miles.
Repairs all done by me. 2 sets of brake pads and one set of rotors. 2 sets of 15" tires after running originals for 15k. Replaced worn exhaust hangers. Repaired loose driver's window motor. I did not go to the dealer for anything even if considered under warranty.
Car had one major deer accident taken care of under insurance. Had a minor deer incident recently that left a crack in the lower black part of the grille, but left it as is.
My review.........
I got a new personal worst! 7.5MPG pulling the new brick on wheels. We barely went over 60mph, if we went any faster I'd have to pull over and change my underwear cause the trailer would whip. I had to pull over and move all my beer in the front of the trailer to get more tongue weight. I guess toy haulers aren't the best way to haul toys?
Oh, and I have about 287xxxkms on the black car right now. It still runs.

3 years no DTC occurred.
Had mine almost 4 years.
'17 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L ES Plus 5MT
'94 Ford Ranger 5.0 Turbo 3 Speed
Well, after almost year and a half (since February 2020), I finally managed to get over 3500 km (2175 miles)
Good job! I already managed to get 1000km in the first week
My new-to-me base model 2014: 174,500 km = 108k mi.
And it seems to run smoother & quieter than Mirage #2 with 155k km = 96k mi.

Today I saw I have passed the 100,000 km. It's now 100,503. When I bought it, it had 35,559 km behind it's wheels, so I have added about 65,000 km in 4 years.

I'm almost due for an oil change, bought my black Mirage at 283xxxkms (I think?) it's almost at 289,000. I still haven't changed the cvt fluid. Sometimes it's hot out I gotta let off the throttle to let it upshift above 50mph, otherwise it likes to hunt/surge a little while trying to keep a steady speed.
