1997 Mitsubishi Mirage LS review from North America
"This is a great first car that is reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My uncle owned the car before I did, but from what he tells me there has been nothing wrong with it. He has had to replace the timing belt at around 60000 miles, but that's about it. Manufacturing is a little cheap, but livable.
General comments?
I loved this car. Sadly someone rear-ended me and totalled it. Great first car, good on gas. I got upwards of 30 miles to the gallon.
This car had a lot of "pep" and had nice acceleration despite its small engine.
