also has the WORST looking back seat I've ever seen on a modern car

It's like a pew

>>16355221
But the car is reliable and in the new version they replace the brakes, because they were wearing out too fast. so now the car is pretty good.
and good gas mileage.

>Small-car shoppers likely will be more interested in the Mirage’s 37-mpg city/44-mpg highway fuel efficiency. We couldn’t verify those numbers, though; we managed an unimpressive 26 mpg, mostly because we found ourselves using every bit of the 1.2’s power just to keep from being run over by pelotons of shouting cyclists.

EPA cycle != real world economy

>>16354581
They were always an off-brand Subaru.

>>16355260
>off-brand Subaru.

So a Subaru?

>>16355247
Because Americans don't know how to drive small cars.
you can accelerate in normal speed and stick on the right lane and have good gas mileage.
I bet every time they accelerate they passed the 3k rom, hell even 3.5

>>16355275
It's because americans are fortunate enough to not have to deal with NA I-3's on a daily basis


The mirage is a truly terrible car, you can get much better, even new for the same price.

>>16355285
> you can get much better, even new for the same price.

like what?

>>16355293
Hyundai Accent
Ford Fiesta
Nissan Versa Note
Toyota Yaris
Chevy Sonic

Honda fit a like $1500 more and way better too

>>16355300
they are all cost more.
are you taking about new cars?

>>16355310
They cost $1000 - $2000 more for an infinitely better car


Point is, if you buy a mirage you might be retarded. It's just one of those cars no one should have to buy.

Because of this OP....

>>16355313
I didn't buy it

>>16355339
Your still probably retarded

>>16355349
No, I'm not it's just my English because I'm not native english speaker.
you still gave me more expensive car.
For example instead of Nissan versa you should have compare it to the Nissan micra and instead of the Chevrolet Sonic, the Chevrolet spark
You idiot

Micra and spark are also nicer, thanks for adding to my list of cars within 2k of that mirage shitbox

>>16354581
Pearl Harbor left Americlaps forever assmad, and hopping in bed with Chrysler stained their reputation for reliability.

Also they have this habit of making something good and doing nothing with it while the (cheaper) competition catches up and eventually overtakes them.

Mitsubishi models sell fine everywhere other than Clapistan. They sell those kei cars in Japan and crossovers everywhere else. There's always the complaint of bland interiors and the Lancer having shit fuel mileage compared to its competitors, but never any complaint about reliability. CVTs are shit but their manual transmissions are solid.

(((Safety))) standards and modern car design. And mores the pity that the DSMs and later Eclipses were exclusive to North America.

It's a pity the Ralliart performance arm was so underused. If they had continued making the top Eclipse trims into AWD/turbo Evo coupes they would've at least escaped the hairdressers' car reputation.

Nothing went wrong at all.

Also their air conditioner units are god tier.

>>16357819
They do have that habit
Lancer was a great car when first released but it's like a 10 year old platform and they are still charging normal price for it..

>>16355321
Meh, i don't think the 4th gen i ugly, but they done goofed by not offering turbo engines and awd.

>>16357863
Do you suppose the partial merge with Nii-san will help it along, or will we get stuck with a rebadged Pulsar while (((Ghosn))) forces them to crank out CVT crossovers and SUVs?

there is nothing wrong with mitsubishi.

they not only have made the glorious sirius family of engines, but have contributed greatly to the automotive industry.

Industrializing Japan was a mistake

They stopped making these.

They also didn't make the FTO available in the US.
