1994 Mitsubishi Mirage R Spec review from Australia and New Zealand

Stepper Motor (idle control unit) - Problem when the car won't hold the idle (or stalls) or idles iratically. Seems to be a constant fault with many Mirage and Lancer Models. Easily resolved with a replacement refurbished stepper motor.

Drivers Window Motor - motor gave up. Replaced unit. No major issue.

Dealership was able to locate and resolve both problems within 1 day.

This version of the Mirage is the R-Spec one which has the same 1.6 litre engine as the Cyborg however without the MIVEC head.

The car has a Close ratio 5sp manual gearbox, which allows the car to rapidly accelerate.

This version of the Mirage comes with all the creature comforts - touch display Climate Control, Full electrics, central locking.

Classic interior design in Black with good quality plastics which seem to wear well.

Good comfortable sports-type seats.

Watch out for the plastic in the rear side windows as it gets UV Damage quickly if the car is outside and not protected.

This model has the face-lift bumper with the large factory fitted spot lights - which gives it a slightly more aggressive stance.

Suspension is very hard, but excellent and in keeping with the R-Spec styling.
