Used Mitsubishi Mirage for Sale

I never really had any major problems with it, it wasn't anything spectacular. It was moderately comfortable, but definitely not a luxury car. The space was enough to get my friends and me around and the heater worked great during these Chicago winters. Gas mileage could have been better but it wasn't a guzzler either. It was a very.. in the middle car. Not amazing, not bad, just in the middle of my satisfaction. The look of the car is something I personally didn't like very much, but as my first car and a middle class citizen, I wasn't in any position to upgrade. The traction on snowy days held up well, I'm not too experienced with cars so I don't now how to classify the handling. The only real gripe I had was that during summers, the AC seemed to take exceptionally longer to cool down compared to my friends' cars.

I've had this car for 17 years now. It gets normal city use and the occasional road trip. I have NEVER had a single problem with this car beyond normal wear and tear. I have a bad habit of not maintaining cars the way they should be - I have run this car a number of times on almost no oil and the engine still runs very well. It has never broken down. The worst that has happened is the battery ran down and I had to get a tow to get the car to the auto shop. It's a small car, but that often means I can get into places the larger cars can't.

This is a very small-looking vehicle that packs in a ton of interior space. I'm really not sure how they did it, but it's totally bigger on the inside! We have the base model so it doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that are available, but by far the best thing about this car is the gas mileage. We typically get 35 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. It is awesome! It only costs $20 to fill up (it has a tiny seven-gallon gas tank) but it goes easily over 300 miles per tank so we don't fill it up any more often than we would our gas guzzling minivan. The finishings are basic but good quality and have held up well to the two children that regularly trash the vehicle as well as my husband's work supplies being thrown in and around the car. The trunk space is also massive for a car this size, I can fit all the groceries for us for the week easily inside. My husband has even fit a two-story folding ladder in this car by removing the front passenger seat and laying the back seats flat. Yep, the back seats fold down, making this already roomy car able to fit insane things... like the aforementioned two-story ladder. It drives very well, and we have put nearly 50,000 miles on it in about 18 months. Overall, we adore this car, and whenever it finally dies, we fully intend to get the same model in a newer year.
