1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE review from North America
"A fun and economic car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had virtually no problems with the car.
The only complaint that I have is that the manufacturer paint job chips and shows blemishes easily.
General comments?
I purchased the car because I was looking for a Japanese economic compact car to modify.
I have found that after-market support for this car is almost non-existent in the United States. Although, I have been able to make modifications of the wheels, exhaust/intake system, mobile multimedia, and lighting. I have been able to find a few options for turbo upgrades, ignition, and the computer.
The car is fun to drive and handles well.
