1996 Mitsubishi Mirage CE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Hell, why drive anything less!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flat tyre due to wheel dressings.
Driver's seat belt re-tractor became stuck (I couldn't lean forward or even get out of the car seat!).
Front passenger and driver's seat are wearing badly, especially if you wear jeans.
General comments?
This car is an absolute ripper! I travel 600 kilometers a week on 1 tank of petrol.
Just cause it's fuel efficient doesn't mean that it's slow either. This thing can reach speeds of well over 130Kmph in under 30 seconds! Not bad for a 1.5 litre 4!
They're also very roomy and can handle cornering at well over 40 kmph without falter. So there you have it, not only is it efficient, quick, relatively well styled and comfortable, but she also sticks to the road like glue.
Once you've owned a Mirage, you won't settle for anything less.
