1998 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good looking from rear but replace factory tyres!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some noise from front shock absorbers at 45,000km.
Factory tyres are rididulous. Once i replaced them with top of the line 'Goodyear' tyres, the car was alot quiter and the handled 100 times better. Would recommend you change them straight away as a good set of tyres will give u a great car.
General comments?
Attractive car from the rear.
Australian version has the large chrome plated letters ' M I R A G E ' spaced widely apart on rear hatch door - small innovative feature I haven't seen on any other car.
But front end looks rather ordinary, but the back makes up for it. Would look even better with a spoiler and a nice chrome exhaust.
