Mitsubishi Mirage FAQs

• Is the Mitsubishi Mirage a good car?

  It's one of the most affordable cars on the market, but the MItsubishi Mirage still manages to land more than a few punches thanks to its comprehensive value-packed offering. This is really the perfect car for a first-time buyer, especially young drivers who have just secured their licence. The Mirage is economical and efficient to run, it's trendy, it has a nice ensemble of features, and it's also effortless to drive. There is lots to like here, and a wonderful opportunity for new car buyers.

• What is wrong with the Mitsubishi Mirage?

  At this price range, as a budget entry-level model, it is fair to expect that the Mitsubishi Mirage has its limitations. Naturally, some of these issues extend to the quality of the cabin fit-out and the performance attributes of this car, particularly with an engine that is somewhat underpowered. Ride quality is also a little on the disappointing side when compared with some of the mainstream cars on the market today, however, those cars will often set you back as much as double the price of the Mirage, so if you're budget conscious, and don't mind opting for a workmanlike car, the Mirage still has plenty to offer.

• How long does the Mitsubishi Mirage last?

  Like everything car-related, ownership makes all the difference. A consistent servicing schedule is key to prolong the life of any car, although it should be noted that as an entry-level model, the Mirage isn't exactly pitched to tackle some of the durable workhorses like the Toyota Camry or Mazda 3. A good life for the Mirage would see you probably get at least 10 years out of it, at which point you would almost certainly want to upgrade to a car with the latest safety and tech features. In the meantime, Mitsubishi also offers a 10-year, 200,000km warranty when the Mirage is serviced exclusively within the Mitsubishi dealer network - a great bonus!
