Overview & Reviews

Though the Mirage sedan has been discontinued to make room for the all-new Lancer sedan, Mitsubishi will continue to offer the Mirage coupe. Only a few minor changes -- a new audio faceplate, an emergency inside-trunk release and a new chrome badge -- are in store this year.

• Sharp handling, low entry price, attractive shape.

• Horsepower-deficient base engine, minimal amount of features with DE trim, poor crash-test results.

  Cheap to high performance - 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Michael - November 7 - 5:20 pm

  This car handles great, good on gas, to gain more horse just replace air filter with a KN filter. That will give you 12 additional horse power and if you spend an additional $150 bucks you can up the performance with an after market chip for extra 30 hp without affecting smog. Cheapest way to get performance for a very reliable car-try it!

  Gets you from A to B - 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Chiyo - May 29 - 9:23 pm

  I got this used with 36,000 miles on it. The car has good exterior styling, but the inside feels cheap. The seats, sun visors, air filters. The sound system is not that great. The door is too heavy. The car is very slow, so it gets decent gas mileage. It seems fairly reliable, and gets me from A to B without much problems. The wheel size is small, so the tires dont cost much either. I got this car because I got a good deal on it...Otherwise, Id have chosen something more fun to drive...like the Mazda Protege I have had.

  Pretty good car - 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Just4God - January 25 - 11:46 pm

  Over all this is a good car. I drove it for a little over 3 years when I traded it in for something larger. Very dependable.

  Mitusbishi ride to thrill - 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By kid sid 2479 - January 8 - 4:33 pm

  I bought this car in April 2006 for only $7,999. It recently hit 23,000 miles. It was cheap and affordable. It was the best deal from a car dealership plus it still had avpowertrain warranty on it. It was easy to drive and had less confusing controls inside the car. It handled like a dream. It was a sporty looking car. The back part of it looks like Honda Coupe. I am not complaining about the power. It could have more, but that would make it more expensive. The car is very affordable, nice, and fun to drive of course. It does not give a good milege on roadways but on highways it does pretty well. For people with a tight budget who want a decent, sporty, eye-catching car, this would be it.

  Awesome Mitsu! - 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Jacob - November 7 - 3:43 pm

  Got my 2002 Mirage in 03.I hear a lot about bad mpg but mine gets an awesome 35+ mpg. Fun car with killer body kits, carbon fiber hoods, cold air intakes, etc. Ive done a lot to mine and it just gets better mpg. Turbos for the 1.5l is out there but are expensive. Mine has 100+hp with 2.5 exhaust and cold air intake. So power is good and easily achieved. Cheap car, so cheap interior can we expect more? It does the job!
