2014 Mitsubishi Mirage Sports 1.2

Summary:

A great combination of economy and style

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

For a micro car, it does the trick very well. I am 6ft 3" tall and have no problem at all with leg or head room.

We use this car for city driving only, and after 10,000 km we have encountered no problems whatsoever.

It is comfortable, and the A/C is fine for the hot Australian summer. The stereo is nice, the power windows are a feature we like, and also the onboard computer. We average around 5.5L / 100km, but can get 3.9 if I try. Somewhat gutless, but that is expected.

For a city car - it's great, and it only cost $10,000 AUD ($8,500 USD drive away).

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am the original poster. My Mirage now has 80k on it and I have had no mechanical issues with the car. I changed the oil and filter every 10K, still on the original rear tyres but on the third set of front tyres, so it seems to like chewing them up. Brake pads changed on front and a new battery. So basically all service items.

Still running strong.

Original Poster here. The Mirage now has 100,000km on it with not a single problem. This beautiful specimen of plastic is ultra reliable. Oil changed every 10K with Gulf Western 5W-30, rotated the tyres every 20K. Probably will need new front brake pads soon.
