1998 Mitsubishi Mirage review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, the car has had a oil leak which came from the pulley above the sump, that was caused by ordinary wear and tear, only cost $350 to repair.
One major problem I had was that one of the injectors needed replacing.
General comments?
Car is very reliable
cheap to run
easy to fix
handles well.
