2015 Mitsubishi Mirage – Prices start at $12,995 – MPG 37/44 – Seats 5
My first car review! This cutie is the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage, in Sapphire Blue. It’s a 4-door hatchback. The first thing I noticed, was that the interior was much roomier than I thought it’d be, considering it’s a subcompact car. Our 7 year old’s car seat fit in the back seat with no problem.
Here’s a little peek at the inside, including the One Touch Stop/Start Engine Switch & the optional Navigation Screen & Rearview Camera.
The car handled well, and had enough pep for me to be able to take it on the highway with no problems. (I wasn’t putt-putting along, like a few other compact cars I passed on the road!) I went to the grocery store and did my weekly shopping, kinda worried that all my bags wouldn’t fit in the back. I was pleasantly surprised when they did! (12 plastic grocery bags).
The gas mileage was crazy good! I drove around all week & the needle barely moved. In fact, the 2015 Mirage is the most fuel-efficient gas-powered non-hybrid in America.
What Hubby Liked: Gas mileage, hands down! He thought the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage was perfect for the commuter. He also really liked that it comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
What I Liked: Gas mileage and the fact that I could pretty much park wherever I wanted to! (I can’t do that in my Minivan). I was able to slip into the tiniest parking spaces with ease…and I was a Parallel Parking Queen in this car! I also really liked the Rearview Camera.
What Our Little Liked: He was fascinated with the Rearview Camera and thought the car was cute because it’s small like him.
What We Didn’t Like: I’m the only one adding something to this category this time around. Whenever I made a turn, it didn’t feel like the steering wheel came all the way back to the original position once the turn was completed. Hubby didn’t have a problem, so maybe it was just me…still thought I should mention it.
This car would be great for a commuter, excellent for the first time car buyer, and is extremely affordable.
