I liked the ease of repair and availability of parts. The interior is basic, yet does everything needed. No frill cars means fewer things that can break and rely on actuators to move instead of fingers. Back seat area was definitely lacking.May 12, 2015

Good lil car. Awesome on gas and low maintenance. If you need major repairs though it will probably cost you more then the car is worth. My Distrubutor gave out and I was quoted $1000 to get it fixed. Which is way more then the car is worth!Mar 02, 2015

this car has great acceleration but lacks on top speed. The braking and handling
are amazing. this car is well bulit and functions great. needs very little repairs.
the outside looks good and so dose the inside but i dont like the upholstery. this
car gets about 30 mpg. this car is very fun to drive on back roads and at stop
lights. if u get it.
this car is mildly modified though it has a full 4-2-1 2.5" racing exhaust,
weapon-r intake, adjustable fuel press reg., high press vacuum hoses. and
2x12 w0 jl with a 250 watt amp.
soon the entire outside will be fully redone.
also stage 2 cam and cam gear and a reprogrammed ecu.Nov 26, 2010

It's light and easy to drive. The stock SOHC 1.8L is matched to the same year Civic's. What's great about this motor is that in other countries it was offered in a DOHC and DOHC Turbo and its a direct head swap...wider power band, more hp stock and more tuner friendly.
The car was made to compete with the Civic so build quality is about the same.
Cost me 1,500 used and well worth it especially if you are a Mitsubishi fan. A lot of things can be done to this car and its an under dog car.Aug 04, 2010

This car is definately a value car. It has descent performance, descent room in the front (the back is a different story) I'm 6' 1" and can comfortably drive this car. Build quality is alright. It is not the most solid feeling car out there but it requires little maintanence (clutch has 185,000 miles on it and doesn't need replaced yet) Aug 11, 2009

Good acceleration when the car is empty. Build Quality is awesome on outside, interior leaves some for desire. Great aesthetics but as with most of these small cars they beg for the benefits of lowered suspension both for looks and handling. Very cheap to own apart from body repairs and a very fun car to driveJul 21, 2009

Performance: its pretty quick right off the line. I just bought it less than a week ago and am waiting to register it so i haven't touched 5th gear yet. I wish it was a little quicker, that way reviews could stop saying it cant compete with leaders in its class(Jetta and Golf) but i bought this at a fraction of one of those.
Quality: Fairly well build. Everything is smooth looking..
Definately fun to drive. I bought the 5 speed with a sun roof and its perfect. Like i said, i wish it could blow the doors off the VW's but eventually ill get it there.Mar 10, 2009

surprisingly this car actually had great acceleration. of course it got great gas mileage, and it is a very low maintenance car. i drove it for a year and didn't do any maintenance to it. appearance was good because it looks like the lancer if you put the evo body kit on it. and it is very fun to driveNov 25, 2008

Acceleration is horrible but it does the job. Test out the brakes on a track and they'll fail quickly. Build quality is good but still plastic. After 6 years there's lots of rattles. It can look fantastic if you look after it and are tactful with any options. Its great on fuel if you know how to drive and after 120,000 km it still feels like new. Revs out very nicely and still can put a smile on your face.Sep 11, 2008

well it has better lines then a honda civic or chevy cavalier but it lacks the needed horsepower to beat anything. At only 92 hp it still manages to beat pretty much anything of the line. Jul 15, 2008

Alright, so I'll admit it - I bought this car out of desperation with only 4 hours on my side and it was between that, a '00 Corolla or a Geo. Considering the Corolla and Geo have exactly the same engine(only one was more expensive than the other - guess which one!), I had an obvious choice in front of me with a 1.8L 4cyl getting more than decent MPG ranging from 26 city - 32 hwy, listed. It was a rental before I bought it in 2003, with only 16,389 miles on it and I honestly didn't expect it to hold up long enough for me to pay it off.
So, the real question: Would I have made the same decision all over again? You bet your sweet ass. I have had this car for 4 years and 6 months and single-handedly put well over 111,000 miles on it, but it has yet to disappoint me. I take good care of my vehicles and this one proves the Car-ma Theory - "Routine maintenance rewards routine reliability." I've had to re-charge the battery, replace the headlights, do a few extra brake jobs and install some new sparks, but other than that, I haven't invested a single cent over average maintenance costs.May 20, 2008

engine swap???
i have a 01 mirage de coupe i would like to swap the engine for something else....it is an automatic. i was told i could put a jdm 4g63t in it but there would be a ton of fabrication involved since it would mount on the other side......OR what OTHER alternatives or upgrades could i do to make it faster!

How do I fix a slow 2001 mirage
My 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage dose not take off at normal speed it's very slow. I've replaced throttle body sensor spark plugs and down that line. It runs good after you pass 20 mph but when I come to a stop its hesitates to take off
