1998 Mitsubishi Mirage Marion review from South Africa
"Best Hatchback car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electric window of the driver seat, makes a load sound when opening. Before it was working 100%, now it sounds like I have a hammer hitting the interior frame of the door.
When climbing a steep hill, the car seems to heat up.
There is a limit or blind spot when looking between the front window and side window.
General comments?
The comfort of the car is excellent! Has some advanced technology, especially from other Mitsubishi models and Japanese cars.
Steering/handling is alright, just try not to over do it on corners!
Body kits can be easily modified with Evo-kits :).
