Vastly better than the Mitsubishi Space Star. Good tiny car, the Mirage.
It's the 21st century geo metro. Nice to see there's still cheap cars for sale
>>14678894
What's the problem? It's a cheap honest car that doesn't try to be something its not.
>people are buying those new instead of a late model Civic or equivalent
What's the point?
>>14679069
Warranty.
>>14679085

You'll be needing that with a mitsubishi

>>14679391

>>14679122
2500 dollars could buy you a better car on craigslist.
Ive seen a couple of these running around. I like em. Maybe in a few years when a used one is <8 or 9k it might make a good extra car or teenager car
>>14679022
>>14679054
Exactly! It's easy to maintain, cheap parts, and it isn't needlessly complex.
I'm currently stranded in a strange town because my fucking fiat 500's electronically controlled throttle body died for no reason. To replace the part, have it reprogrammed (because for some reason that isn't included in the cost) and get the injectors flushed (also necessary apparently) it will cost me about $900. Times like this I wish I owned a mirage that wouldn't fucking break down on me every year.
>people unironically believe Mitsubishi is unreliable
The 3000GT and DSM, but that's it
>>14679609
>buying a Fiat
You played yourself.
>>14679130
>being this insecure about something someone else would drive
>>14679641
I am aware.
I seem to have gotten a lemon though. At the time, I wanted a cheap, basic car. I got a manual with no extra being and figured "this has been out in Europe for years, it's an old platform underneath. It will be fine" but oh how wrong I was.
Clutch pressure plate exploded at 50k kms of granny driving, had to take the full cost of that. The rear brakes have never been okay. And now this throttle body. How I long for the days when you just had a cable connecting your pedal to the butterfly valve. Now it's a factory calibrated piece of shit that costs half a grand.
>>14679683
Found the guy that bought one.
>>14679701
I'd buy one. It has a great warranty, and it's simple. That's what I want out of a car at this point of my life.
>>14679710
it's also loud, rough, and takes forever to accelerate to highway speeds
>>14679710
Might as well buy a Hyundai Accent then.
BETTER reliability than a Mitsu.
Guys...GUYS...you can get it in pink.
10/10 would buy 4.
>>14679130
People with dignity wouldn't be bothered by what other people think of their car.
>>14679734
People with dignity wouldn't buy this car in the first place.
>>14679734
The very concept of dignity implies other people's approval. Dignity doesn't and can't exist in a vacuum.

There is a shitload of them in Canada, or at least Calgary. Lancers and Outlanders in particular are all over the fucking place.
>>14679814
Lancers seem common in Ontario also.
>>14679054
>What's the problem? It's a cheap honest car that doesn't try to be something its not.
Dont know much about the new ones, but the 4-5th gen ones where very good little cars
>>14679814
Sask here, Lancers seem to be the most common econobox. It's possible that I am only noticing them since they're the only decent looking econobox, though, and the others arr rook same.
Still, I see one or two every single time I go out, at least. Must be because everyone here is either cheap or poor. kek
>>14679748
All of the Dacia range.
>>14678894
I just checkout the sit, 13,000 for a new car with a 3,500 rebate and a great warranty. If I was a poorfag I'd do it.
Also

It'd be kinda cool if they had a turbocharged model available to compete with the Fiesta.

I don`t get it, what is the point of buying such cars? Warranty? Cheap insurance? For 13k you can get an older but a million times better car.
>>14680030
who wants to buy a used car when a new car costs the same?
>>14680030
People that absolutely want a new car
Fleets of cheap shit boxes
Factory finance
I had the pleasure of renting one of these, this is a great little city car.
PROS:
Peppy/revy engine with plenty of power available in any rev-range.
Amazing fuel economy, I drove all over for 2 days returned it without having to fill the tank.
Surprisingly well equip and comfortable.
Handles very well and is easy to maneuver/park.
The auto climate is seriously better than any bmw or mercedes.
CONS:
The cvt is clunky and shakes -- I am sure there is a parasitic effect.
The trim/plastics have improved but need more improvement.
Obviously there is no boot space.
I have always been a fan of Mitsubishi... I have owned several lancers and 1 Montero which I still own. They have never let me down and the new owners which I sold them to still drive them to this day.
I am seriously thinking of picking up a new mirage -- to use as my daily.
>>14680104
>78 hp
>peppy and plenty of power
Into the garbage your opinions on cars go.
>>14680030
New car benefits:
>know you're the first person to own it, so nobody beat the fuck out of it before you, nobody accidentally ran it for 5 miles with diesel in the tank, nobody put differential fluid in for oil, nobody downshifted to 5th on the highway
>it's new, has a warranty, is $12k (most people who aren't on 4chan make this in like 2 months or less)
>it gets good mileage and is small
So overall, someone who wants a convenient shitbox would consider this car. I would if I wanted a Metro but needed something reliable for work and only had one parking space, I guess.
>>14678894
>people bought these
nothing wrong with the mirage, its just poorfags are gonna get the cheapest thing they can
>>14680119
go drive one. goes like a bat out of hell the car weighs nothing. my brother owns an echo. and this thing makes the echo feel like a boat
>>14680134
>15s 0-60
>Bat out of hell
Please leave
>>14680175
the car is fast, and weighs nothing. it has not a corvette or dragster. i was very happy with it. and i am going to definitely seek one to purchase as a dd. the insurance is cheap on it as well as the gas. maybe i save all the money i would of spent on gas to buy a really fast car i can throw around on my time off.
>>14680188
It's not fast
>>14680119
You must be one of those fags who can't "live" without 400hp+ for a daily driver.
The Mirage literally weighs 1 ton fully equipped. Sure its not fast, but 78hp is enough to move it around.
>>14680200
A ke corolla has the same power and is lighter and gets better mileage and is more reliable and is rwd and only costs 1/6th of the price
>>14680212
Except KE72 Corolla's were built fucking 40 years ago.
When did anyone start comparing old cars to new? Of course it's going to be cheaper.
I work at a mitsu/kia dealer and most people who drive these are either old, teenagers or people who want a DD and does not want to fuck with repairs.
For all those above this car fulfills their needs. It is not meant to be fast/luxurious. It will get you from point A to point B at 44mpg. I would probably drive one if I didn't need a bigger car.
Hell, you can still get it with GPS.
>>14680212
>>14680231
ke72 corolla
anything toyota is worth x1000 more actual value in california so no thanks
>>14680188
>>14680200
No at fucking 15s 0 to 60 it is Slow in every form of the word.
78 hp makes it almost unsafe for the current road ways, It can barely reach highway speeds on the onramp.
Anything past 10s 0 to 60 is way to slow.
It is not peppy, quick or fast.
>>14680264
ok well fuck fast. i want a cheap and reliable dd that gets the best mpg possible for a steal of a price new. i can probably get the dealer down to 9k out of the door
>>14680275
Get a base model 5 speed of the out going model and get dat rebate and you can jew yourself into a new car for like 9 thousand bucks. Or just get 2 running metros and use the rest of the cash to perfectly restore them
>>14680264
It's suited for urban environments such as the city or suburbia, not highway cruising at 60+ mph.
I agree that anything slower than a 10s 0-60 is kinda ballsy to take onto the highway these days... but people like your grandma have driven under powered shitboxes onto the highway for decades now.
>>14680320
i would get a 5speed but that defeats the purpose of a city car. i do not want to ride the clutch when i have to sit in traffic 80% of time. as for the geo metro fuck no. again they are ridiculously over priced. i am not going to pay 3 thousand dollars for a +15 year old car.
>>14679097
Mitsubishi is pretty reliable I don't know about new ones but I haven't heard of any bad happening with new Mitsubishis.
I have a 2011 galant and I've had it for almost 6 months and put 6k on it. The only think it needs is suspension bushing because it now has 76800
>>14679097
Nice meme
>>14680264
It's recorded 0-60 is about 11-12 seconds. That's acceptable for most freeway usage, given you don't push it into situations beyond what it can safely handle.
>poorfags of /o/ are shocked that other poorfags of /o/ Luke a 3rd-world-tier shitbox designed for poorfags
>>14678894
I'd buy one if my credit wasn't under 400.
>credit score is 800
>bought one anyway
I like the hydraulic steering, interior simplicity, sound system, 5spd gearbox, comfy heated cloth, and exterior aesthetics. 167hp more than enough for an econobox. Only thing I hate is the rear window defroster which is absolutely fucking useless. Fuel economy is unremarkable but decent, I can get above 35 if I try.
>>14680730
it has electric ps
I drive an 09 Outlander, and I am very happy with it. Plowed through snow this winter like a champ, while saving me plenty of gas.
>>14680747

>>14680799
Yes, all new mitsus in us are fly-by-wire
Im actually considering one of these little shitboxes as a commuter car.
I could pay it off in less than a year.
Best way to option one out?
Best color?
What about the redesigned mirage/space star?
Only had it for 2 weeks on the lot and it was sold.
>>14679748

>>14680959
Agreed. Atleast Ralliart with a turbo'd engine, stiffer suspension and sportier bumpers.
Maybe throw in some mudflaps with colored Mitsu badges on them.
Which will never happen.

Same in QC. Lancers, RVR and Outlanders everywhere
>>14678894
It lacks any element of good or even interesting design.
>>14679798
Literally all of these look better.
I think mitsu is the best looking jap car company in the us right now. Most honda/nissan/toyotas look like they are designed to be attractive to middle aged women. Which is who this car is for
>>14681057
>driving a 320i in general
We can at least agree that entry level luxury drivers are the ultimate cucks.
>>14681038
I'm imagining a more uncontrollable Colt Ralliart or a 4G63T swapped CE series Mirage. Still, factory rice couldn't save how it looks.
>>14681110
Any 3 Series is better than a Mirage in virtually every aspect.
>>14679798
Manual versa ffs 11k
>>14681110
3 series is not an entry level luxury car any more than say a Skoda Octavia. It's an entry level sports car, and the 320i is like the lowest you could get besides the eco 4bangers if they still make those. For a price of a new 320i you could buy like a 335i or M3
>>14681122
No shit, it's a comparison between a dirt cheap shitbox and an overpriced shitbox that sells for the badge.
The sort that drives a Mirage doesn't give a shit about driving in any capacity, while the 320i driver in his leased automatic probably won't shut up about how he drives a 'Bimmer', as he slowly runs it into the ground.
tl;dr
Mirage a shit, but picking a car just to look dignified is faggotry.
>>14680119
>"What is gearing and how does it work?"
>>14681192
My parents gave me their old W124 E-Class when I got my license. It was a decent car but shit would break on it all the fucking time, and cost hundreds of dollars to fix, but the car was FREE to me to drive.
That didn't stop a bunch of faggots similar to you that would snigger about how I got it just because it was a Mercedes and how I had bought it only because I wanted to impress people.
Like I was really about to go out and drop 13k McDonaldbux on a fucking Mitsubishi Mirage just so people wouldn't think that I'm trying to be an asshole badgewhore?
People like you are retarded.
>>14681187
It's probably a little different over here.
In Australia we still the perception of Euro brands as luxury, and Skoda is tiny here. For the same price as a 3 series BMW, I could get a new Falcon with a supercharged V8. But the Falcunt won't present the same image.
It's given entry level "luxury" brand drivers a reputation as knobs who drive badly and aggressively, while still getting shit on by bogans in SV6 utes.
>>14681222
>thinks shitposting can deflect the fact that the car is slow as fuck
Even when geared right, 78 horsepower is slow. Stop being a cuck and get a real car you fucking faggot.
>>14681231
Holy projection, Badgecuck.
Look, I get that some of them are handed down but the stereotype exists for a reason. Just as the WRX/STi, Evo, V8 anything and the A45 is the boyracer chariot of choice, entry level Euro outside Europe will be seen as "for the badge".
>>14679730

This has to be an issue exclusive to the States. Mitsubishi seems to have the worst rep there, while everywhere else it's just a maker of decent appliance cars.
>>14683581
Its the automatic versions that are terrible compared to Toyota
Not only that but they have what? 2 car models in the US? Messed up with the Eclipse. The lancer was a car with electrical issues
>>14683277
We got the L200. It was called the Mighty Max. Or the Ram 50.
>>14683602
Fair point, CVT a shit. I haven't heard anything about electrical issues in the Lancers here, though I think the LHD ones are built elsewhere.
We never had the Eclipse, always wanted to import one over but our import laws are fucky and inconsistent. It's a pity that the 3G and 4G sucked too since those looked pretty good.
The lineup's looking dismal now. No more Evo or Ralliart, and I doubt they would resurrect something like the Starion just to compete with the BRZ.
>>14679984
