1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE Coupe review from North America
"You'll get your money's worth and more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I had my rear oxygen sensor replaced and need the front sensor replaced.
Each headlight has been replaced once.
The battery has been replaced once. So nothing major just yet.
The cloth interior faded a bit from the sun, instead of dark gray is has a hint of blue.
Lights have gone out on my automatic transmission console.
General comments?
This car struggles to go uphill so you need to get a good speed going when you know a steep hill is approaching.
This car has been so dependable, it is my second Mirage.
Gas mileage is great, and drives great in the snow, too.
Space is tight and there's no leg room in the back seat (in a 2-door).
