What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage
"Wonderful car!"
"I bought my 1995 Mirage in '97 and it's far and away the best car I've ever owned. It's been fabulously reliable, economical, comfortable and FUN to drive. No one I know can believe it's 12 years old--the paint's still glossy, the interior isn't showing any wear. I would absolutely buy another Mitsubishi!"
"Love it!!!!"
"I bought my '95 mirage brand new and 13 years later I still love it. It has 215K miles on it and have had no problems with. The clutch is still the original. It gets great gas mileage and still performs great for me. I'm going to drive it until it dies."
"Not too shabby"
"I got this car as a hand-me-down from a relative at about 100,000 miles last winter. Needed a new transmission when I got it, but since has been great. I't's phenomenal on gas for a car that is 15 years old. I get an avg of 23-25 mpg in the suburbs. No other real mechanical problems and I've only taken it to the shop for inspection in the 15 months. The only things I don't like are that it's a little weak (has some trouble on hills, but gets through them), it doesn't have cruise control, and when you put something in the cup holders, you can't use the radio."
