![]() ![]() After looking at the Versa (dreadful unless optioned heavily) & the Yaris sedan (pretty good), we drove the G4 SE. We also needed the car to fit a tight parking situation & have a trunk that can hold a folding wheelchair. We wanted a car to run errands locally and (very rarely) to take an 80 mile round trip to visit relatives. While the car is a bit loud when driving at highway speeds and when accelerating, this issue is offset by comfortable seating and a great ride quality for an economy car. No repairs, low maintenance costs for the first 30K + miles & fuel economy over 40 mpg in a barrier mix of urban, suburban stop and go & highway driving. After a job change, I needed a commuter for a 52 mile round trip to work. We remain Very pleased with our G4. … UPDATE in June 2020: car continues to exceed expectations. Nothing exciting about this car unless squeezing every mile possible out of each penny in a surprisingly comfortable, utterly reliable little sedan excites you. Dollar for dollar, this is probably the best automotive value I have ever owned. ![]() My big concern now for Mitsubishi is Nissan owns the majority share now, Hopefully Nissan leaves Mitsubishi alone !Īnother update: Lots of additional miles, no problems & consistent 42+ MPG in a mix of driving situations. Don't pay attention to the sticker price, find out what the dealer is willing to sell it FOR! If your main concern is going from point A to point B no one can do it cheaper than a Mirage. Example was the Nissan Versa, its was 3645.00 more money, had half the warranty. No other car manufacturer could come close on price. Why is this? Well, Mirage owners get what this car is about, great MPG without dealing with the expense of buying a hybrid, Great warranty, Above average reliability, Great safety ratings, Cheap car to insure and maintain. Reviewers online hate the car ( Consumer Reports, Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, ect) but owner give … it one of highest consumer satisfaction ratings among its class. Only problem is if you want a loaded car you are forced to get the CVT. The manual is more fun to drive and get more MPG. The only warranty claim on any of them was a cracked armrest on the door. Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)Īfter owning 4 of these, 2 hatchbacks and 2 sedans, One was a 5 speed manual, rest were the CVT.Proximity keyless entry and push-button start.Automatic LED headlights and running lights.The top-trim version of the Mirage G4 builds on the ES trim with: Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.Seats with special cloth upholstery and red stitching.The Black Edition spruces up the styling with: Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)Ĭhoose the Mirage G4 LE for these upgrades:.Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.7-inch infotainment touchscreen display.14-inch steel wheels with plastic wheel covers.The most affordable version of the Mirage G4 includes: They're much better vehicles for about the same price. But if you're in the market for a low-priced set of wheels and you won't settle for anything less than a brand-new ride, we encourage you to check out the Kia Rio and Nissan Versa. We understand the appeal of a cheap new car with a low payment and a promise of decent reliability. But, hey, it has standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so crank the four-speaker stereo up and try to drown out the ruckus. Indeed, listening to the Mirage's anemic 76-horsepower three-cylinder engine bleating loudly as you try to discern any sense of forward motion from within its cramped cabin will constantly remind you how far short of modern automotive standards the Mirage G4 falls. But we live in a world where the comparatively huge Honda Accord Hybrid effortlessly exceeds the Mitsubishi's rating of 37 mpg in combined driving, so that number isn't indicative of engineering excellence or efficiency gee-wizardry. The Mirage G4's redeeming features include its low price and long warranty.
