1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE Coupe review from North America
"Economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The AC motor had to be replaced when I got it at 58,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is very reliable.
I took it from Tampa, FL to Boca Raton many times, which is approximately 252 miles.
Minimal maintenance, only minor routine stuff.
Great gas mileage: 30 mpg in city, 38 mpg on highway.
It's a nice compact car that's affordable. I got it used in 2003 for around $4,500.
I wish I still owned it, but unfortunately it was totaled in an accident.
