2000 Mitsubishi Mirage DE Sedan review from North America
"A decent car for someone on a budget, but avoid it if you can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior features of the vehicle were very poorly made and started to seriously falter after only 4 years of existence.
Some unknown reason caused the engine to not perform at its reported optimal condition, and before the car was wrecked it was getting only about 19 miles per gallon.
General comments?
The car did handle quite well; however, its overall quality was questionable at best.
The seats were quite uncomfortable, and for a person over six feet tall it was quite annoying to drive.
Also, in a wreck the vehicle crumbles and is, in my opinion, not safe at all.
