All 2001 Mirages now have tether anchors for child seats and meet LEV standards. A power sunroof is now available with the coupe's sport package. Sedan buyers can choose from the LS or the new base ES trim model that replaces the DE model. Nothing else has changed but the designation -- John Mellencamp? John Cougar? John Cougar Mellencamp?

  excellent commuter car - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By mattwc1 - March 14 - 7:13 pm

  This is an excellent commuter car. I purchased this car to travel over 40 miles (one way) to work. It has had no mechanical issues whatsoever. It has almost 90,000 miles on the odometer and is still bulletproof. I bought this car from Hertz Car sales at a firesale price and have made an excellent decision (value/reliability/comfort). The fuel economy averages between 30 -36 mpg highway. I get in the high 20s in stop and go driving. I do agree that the paint chips very easily (especially the hood) and the dashboard is a little funky (no tachometer and good placement for cupholders but puddles form below on storage cubby). It provides easy access to the engine (plugs/filter/oil changes) for do it yourselfers!. This car is an excellent buy obscured by popular Honda/Toyota models.

  compact and sporty - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Rachel ALA - October 21 - 10:00 am

  This is my first car, and I would highly recomend it to any young driver. Its sporty, and handles extremely well. Compared to other manual vehicles, the Mirage shifts gears very easily. There is an issue with interior room if passengers are large or tall, but that can be expected with a compact car. The silver paint also seems to chip relatively easily. Overall, this car is perfect for a driver who carries few passengers at a time and is looking for a reliable, small, sporty car.

  Amazing piece of metal - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By tonypham_ - March 9 - 6:54 am

  It was handed down to me by my aunt at 60,000 miles and have been driving for 2 years, Im at about 78,000 miles. It was a great first car to start learning with due to the size of it. It may be small but its easy to change lanes, park, and manuver through tight spaces. Its fast once it kicks in as well. Will be keeping it with my Lexus. Recommended for people starting to learn how to drive!

  i love my rage(1.8L es 4dr - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By almae - March 4 - 10:06 pm

  I am the third owner of this car, my sis bought on 2001, then my bro took over, then I bought from my bro, it has almost 150,000 miles now and its running strong, very good on gas. I get about 31-32 mpg w/city/hwy combined and running on 17inch wheels. Ive had no major problems w/this car, just only minor maintenance, I will keep this car as long as its alive.

  Love My Mirage! - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Donajo - May 17 - 7:56 pm

  After 6 years owning this amazing vehicle, I have to say that beyond routine tune-ups and oil changes, the car has been maintenance and worry free. I drive up to 450 milles a month for my job and needed a safe, reliable car thats good on gas mileage. I have found it all with this car! It handles like a dream. But beware: this car is very fast! If you are a speed demon like me you will love it but I have also gotten a few speeding tickets along the way. My car is now paid for but I have no plans to trade it in. Even if I buy another car someday, I will keep this one to use for work.

  undisputed champ car - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By skyyfish - August 29 - 9:40 pm

  My wife and I are both in our early 30s. While Im on my 6th car. This is still her very 1st car. And its not because she doesnt have fun driving it! I am amazed by this car! The odometer now says 267,000 and its all original. just easy standard maintainance. It just blows my supposedly better vehicle choices away. Thank You Mitsu!

  Great Reliable Vehicle - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Budgie - December 28 - 4:26 pm

  I bought this car in 2001 with 18k on it, and it has been a great car to me. Im a high-mileage driver and didnt have to sink hardly any money into it until recently, and it had about 165000 at that point! No major problems whatsoever, just normal wear-and-tear replacements. I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat, but unfortunately theyve discontinued them.

  Really zippy and fun to drive! Decent pick-up and solid ride even at highway speeds. Very good on gas mileage. Easy to reach controls.
