1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE review from North America
"The Mirage is a beauty that cries for more power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heat shield panel became loose causing it to rattle at lower speeds. The spark plugs went bad causing it to put put at take off.
The brakes needed to be replaced.
General comments?
The four door Mirage is an absolute beauty.
It has a very comfortable ride and it handles very well.
The 1.5L engine is very slow and it sounds strained with the automatic transmission.
The car is very refined and its build quality is excellent.
