That gas prices don't matter if you have a fuel efficient vehicle.

I love the affordability on gas. I also like how it handles in the winter. I dislike the lack of amenities in this model

Mitsubishi mirage: perfect car for short people.

This car is small, but it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have yet to have any problems with this car over the last two years. The most I have had to do is take it to the dealership for an oil change a couple of times a year. It is fuel efficient and very cute.

Best gas saver for your dollar.

I wanted a new car (it was when I bought it) that didn't break the bank and had an amazing warranty with gas mileage above 35 mph. My Mitsubishi fit all of the criteria and I have not had a problem with it. I now finally need to get a new light bulb now that my car is 3 years old. But it is covered by warranty. I love that it has Bluetooth and I have all the basic features. I did not want fancy as I am in my car for like 15-20 on average a day. But seats were also comfortable.

My 2015 Mitsubishi mirage.

I love my car it gets excellent gas mileage and it is roomy for a small car. I just love it! For a small car all tho it is a hatchback is so roomy and comfy! Easy to clean. I just wish it has cruise control I did not get that option. I can go 390 miles on a tank of gas.

2015 Mitsubishi review in my eyes.

It is very reliable in gas I get about 48 miles to the gallon, it also has a 7 gallon tank and usually fill up is 20 but if I'm actually on empty it is very roomy and holds 5 passengers! It is also pink in color which to me represents breast cancer and it means the world to me it is a great car!

Reliable Mitsubishi mirage.

It is the perfect car for me, a young driver. It is good on gas, it is small so it is easy to maneuver and park. It comfortably can sit 4 people. It has gotten me everywhere that I need to go, from long road trips to rides to the grocery store. The car is very reliable and comfortable. Sometimes I wish there was a backup camera or a digital display, but there is not. The radio system sounds very loud and clear.

An interesting detail that I have noticed is how much gas this vehicle saves!

This car is the most efficient. The most I have paid for a full tank is about $25 my model is a 3 cylinder. I have come and gone with a full tank all the way from San Diego to la. I really recommend this vehicle if you are on a budget, a student, or really anyone that is looking for a reliable car!

It's cheap on fuel and can fit in most small parking spots .

Well It okay for getting a round in the city , because of its small size but if you need to go in to the mountain you need to look at something better . On top of the tire light never goes out and the trannys slipping on top of if anything hits you the body parts just can't take any hit or dings .

Michelle F

It's great for college kids. I think as a family car you should choose another option.

I don't like how small the back seat is. I did like the price and the gas mileage. I also do not like the tiny trunk

Stephanie S

The only flaws is that I have to fix my tires often because there little.

My biggest problem is always my tires. Since my car is so small I need to get new tires very often. The air conditioning is very slow and does not cool the car down during extremely hot temperatures. My car also has a little dent on the side of it from someone hitting me from the back.

Josh S

Mitsubishi mirage is an inexpensive commuter.

Not very comfortable and has low horsepower. It does have great gas mileage and has a low fill up cost. The reliability has been great in the time I have owned it as well. I would say it is a good commuter car but lacks a lot of features found in other cars.

Jeryka E

It has good gas mileage but the tires are very small and the car in general is too small.

I like The gas mileage. I dislike How small it is. I dislike The car payment. I dislike the tires.

Robert B

Mitsubishi mirage s are not built for comfort.

It's a slow car.. Very small and cramped.. No special features at all.. The timing belt and radiator belt is touching so it makes the worst noises while driving.. Is very good on gas.. About $16 - $17 to fill up the gas tank.. Tires are very expensive and so small and hard to find..

Amanda P

You get what you pay for.

The car is only 3 years old but is constantly giving me issues and items that should be under warranty are not. It is a get what you pay for vehicle. The tires have to be special ordered and of course they will cost more because of this. I would not buy another one if it came down to it.

Erisa B

The good and bad in my opinion.

It is great if you need a small call with great gas mileage for around an urban area. If you want power or inside space this car is not for you. Also, every little repair is highly expensive. The inexpensive buying price is very deceptive in that sense. Made for a single person more so than a family.

Looks good, too, and did I mention how comfy it is?.

I like that it is a four door vehicle and the door can be easily unlocked if you lock your keys in the car, with the right tools. I do not like how when you connect your phone to the Bluetooth the volume is really low and you cannot turn the noob to change that, even if your phone's volume is all the way up. I do like how ever how small and compact it is without making it uncomfortable.

Julia C on May 11, 2021

My “ride or die” little golf cart.

The wheels need to be upgraded to a larger size like 16 or 17” the standard 14” ones notoriously cause a domino effect with the struts and the axles that I was informed was very common. Do this asap. The lack of a middle console or other little storage compartments has been frustrating, with little off-brand solutions that will fit. Though I love the compact design, it does make that difficult. One thing I am obsessed with is that the way things are situated idk how but if I drop something from the seat I can always reach it there’s no like cave of no return or spaces you're blocked from like in other cars esp Toyota. Gas mileage rocks, I do good delivery & it is actually profitable unlike with others I have spoken with. Sound system is basic, it is an older version of Bluetooth (even for the year I have) and it is a lil sensitive. I have driven some of the new model mirages with system upgrades & that was a treat. Swoon. She’s my perfect lil trooper though flaws and all.

Pros from Owners

Tim R.

It is great on gas mileage, it is small so it fits in most parking spaces with no issue, it has very few if any problems mechanically. It has only had battery issues but that is to be expected living in the desert.

Amanda T.

After driving this car for years I have found that this vehicle is very Gas efficient and low maintenance. Great for students and elderly drivers alike. Great price Value for a reliable vehicle. Cert responsive vehicle overall.

Robert B.

Pros: Cheap on gas.. Starts up with no problems. Cons: makes too much noise. Is not very fast. Very small and congested. Takes 8 seconds to get to 60 mph. Sound system sucks. Very bumpy ride. Limited space. No backup cam. Lights are not bright enough. Very small tires that are not easy to find.

Joyce H.

My mirage is excellent on gas mileage. Haven't had any problems mechanically speaking. Cute metallic blue paint that is pretty and it is always easy to spot my car in a parking lot. Inexpensive to buy, I looked around awhile. Good warranty that makes me feel safe and secure.

Cons from Owners

Tim R.

It does not have a lot of interior space, it also lacks storage space in the back end. The lack of space also makes it hard to keep clean as there are a lot of tight spaces for dust and trash to collect and it gets very built up.

Amanda T.

This car may not be every stylish if you get it in a plain color. I wish I would have gotten the car in a bright color like green or purple. It is kind of small and very low to the ground so highway driving can be a little bit intimidating.

Robert B.

Very small tires. Bad headlights, backlights and inside lights do not last long. Tires are hard to find. Not a lot of room in car. Very bumpy rides. Car is always so noisy. No mirror on left passenger side. No backup camera. No push to start. No remote start up.

Joyce H.

The car is extremely small so could be dangerous in an accident. The engine runs a little rough as it is only three cylinder. Sometimes it is hard to get onto a highway. The radio that is included with the car is not the greatest. Not a lot of room for passengers or trunk space.
