1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DX review from North America
"Fast and Durable buy it and out perform those expensive cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car with a broken oxygen sensor, but that was only the problem. the rest are recommended 100,000 miles service which is common for very car that has a 100,000 miles.
There no problems with my car after I Changed the oxygen sensor, but just having little problems getting parts for my Mitsubishi Mirage.
General comments?
The car is easy to drive and you can see the road clearly.
If you install a Fujita Short Ram Intake about $300.00. you will beg for the car to go slow.
It out performs a corvette if you have the right performance parts like spark plugs, spark plug wires, Intake, exhaust and the attitude to drive without the car controlling you.
The acceleration is great for a manual tranny not sure about the boring Automatic, but performance is good on snow and wet roads. A spend $15.00 a week for a full tank on a 12 gallon gas tank.
Perhaps the most exciting part of this car is that everyone thinks that the Mirage is just a slow cheap car. Having a $35,000 car doesn't mean you are faster than me. except for Evo and WRX.
