I had a really nice ‘92 Legacy about ten years ago. Blue, L model, sedan, AWD, automatic. I bought it from the original owner, who was fanatical about maintenance. He bought it locally and even kept the original window sticker. He had taken the car to a mechanic and was told the car’s crankshaft keyway had wallowed…

If you have ever sold cars on Craigslist you have encountered people like this.

The Mirage and Spark are NOT 70 mph freeway cars. They are city cars. If you fail trying to cut your steak with a spoon you can’t turn around and call the spoon defective. The spoon is perfectly good at what it is meant to do, you are just misusing it.

HP in the 70s would be literally dangerous in these days of SUVs.

If you think Mitsubishi dealers don’t run credit checks then you have never been in a Mitsubishi dealership.

Halle-freakin’-lujah. Somebody else here gets why these cars kinds of cars exist.

Hard to bash Mitsubishi for possibly not being around in a few years when Chevrolet should have gone extinct ten years ago.

Back in 2014 the PriusC and a whole bunch of other cars failed that test, too.  Why?  Because it was a new test.

Lol, you misspelled “PowerShit”.

Oh, the manual Mirage will beat those numbers easily. Best tank I ever got with mine was 55 mpg. That was in the summer when the car was relatively new. Even with 165,000 miles on the clock I still average 42 over the year.

The Mirage. The only way to kill one is to wreck it. Plus, nobody pays MSRP for Mirages in the finance office anyway so they are only comparably priced on paper. There is a dealership near me advertising new 2018 manual G4 sedans for under $8,000.

Hey, I certainly get what you are saying.

Well, I am talking US greenbacks here. Cheapest one I can find near me is a 2014 with 70k and a rebuilt title. It is $4200. If Ontario is swimming with $1000 Mirages with 100k, that is great.

There is certainly some dealership bullshitting going on with the price here, but still.

That may be part of it, but Americans also have far more disposable income than most people living elsewhere, and they have to drive more. We own homes, tow boats, have ranches, etc. When you live in a 400sf ‘flat’ in the middle of a 2000-year-old city nestled in the foothills of a country the size of Vermont, it is…

The guy who wrote this article praising the Mirage OWNS a Fit, at least that is what his signature says.

I own one.

Hear! hear!

Really? A Mitsubishi dealership near me is selling new CVT Mirages for $12,998. Tell me where to get a new Fit for $14,500. The cheapest Fit at my local dealership is $17,694 ($351 off MSRP, yay!).

Lol, nobody is buying a Mirage to replace a three-year-old Lexus.
