Overview & Reviews

The DE Sedan now comes with the more powerful 1.8-liter engine in place of last year's base 1.5-liter power plant. All DE models (sedans and coupes) get a host of luxury items and larger brakes as standard equipment. The LS Sedan also gets a few more standard goodies for 2000.

• Sleek styling, quality interior materials, stable handling.

• Questionable crash-test scores and value.

  Excellent Small Car - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By michaelg21 - June 1 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Mirage for over 3 years and have never had a problem with it. Mitsubishi makes some excellent cars but are still relatively unknown by alot of people-quality wise, they are just as well built as any Toyota or Honda out there but are $1000s less. They give you far more for your money.Unfortunatly the resale value is poor-I think it is because many people are not convinced they are as good as a Honda or Toyota but for the money-I think they are better! Anyone who buys one will agree.

  Good value for the money - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Mirage Convert - May 27 - 1:36 am

  Good, reliable vehicle on a budget! I drove a Civic for 10 years, until suffering sticker shock last summer when replacing. The Mirage, with its "Civic feel" has comfortable seats, good acceleration (113 HP) even with automatic, and handles extremely well in snow. Powerful A/C, heater, defroster, and stainless steel exhaust system. My 94 Mirage STILL has its original exhaust system and I live in the salt belt. As for MPG, expect 33-35.

  By Small Car Lover - November 7 - 10:00 am

  This is an easy car to drive. Im a short person and too often I am not comfortalbe. This car fits well - i can even parallel park it on a first try. It moves that well. Great mileage.

  Im not certain as to how i feel about my car right now. I just bought it. So far it runs good. Im concerned if i was to hasty in buying a car. I really didnt want to make car payments. The car dealer seem very trustworthy and honest.

  Mirage review - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By rasid - August 5 - 11:33 pm

  I have had this car for over 4 years. It has always been reliable to me, getting about 30-35 mpg, even with aftermarket wheels that weigh about 3x more than the stock ones. The 5 speed manual shifts very smoothly and has some get up and go to it, and handles corners fairly well. The stock sound system is decent enough to the average driver. The interior cloth pattern is unique, but nothing special. The back seats are better suited for small children as they are compact. The instrument panel is easy to read, but most mirages dont come with a tachometer. Over all it is a reliable, fun, and has a great fuel economy.

  STILL GOING STRONG AFTER 13 YEARS - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By kycat52 - May 24 - 9:46 pm

  I bought this Mirage new in February 2000, Ive driven it for 13 years and it still gets 34 mpg. I drove it in Washington DC from Feb 2000 to Jun 2007, 76 miles a day, in heavy traffic and on the beltway. It got 40 mpg on the highway then. This car amazed local mechanics in that it has NO oil leaks, everything still works and all I have done is routine maintenance. In 2012, I had to put new struts all around and outer tie rod ends on both sides, other than that it has been routine maintenance. I plan to drive it until it is out of service. Then Ill probably buy another Mitsubishi to replace it.

  Mirage The Best - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Lankaputhra - February 28 - 2:00 am

  I use the car for long distance travelling (around 140 Miles a day). Excellent handelling on highways plus really good on gas. It gives me around 33/gal. Fun to drive. But little too light. Good turning circle. Most liked feature is the gears can be used as a manual transmisstion to some extent. All 4 levels can be manually controlled.

  Survived thanks to my Mirage - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By survivor in Houston - December 19 - 10:00 am

  Hmm, just ran across this website. To let you all know, I just survived a run in with TWO 18 wheelers on a very major highway. My little Mirage withheld the impact of TWO, yes TWO 18- wheelers spinning me around on the highway. I take some offense to those who say the car is built poorly. I will miss my car, which is obviously totaled. Now to deal with the unfortunate resale value my insurance company is going to offer me. Well, with the money, I dont mind buying another Mirage if I had to.

  My favorite car (by a wide margin)! - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By ilhavenese - October 15 - 2:18 am

  I bought this car brand new & have owned it for 12 yrs. In that time it has had all regular maintenance done according to the owners manual, & Ive had 0 problems with it. The car drives as nice 12 years later as the day I bought it. Im up to 133,000 miles & would drive this car anywhere in the country with confidence. Ive owned a Galant (replaced the Galant; I wanted a manual transmission & Galants no longer came in them), Prelude, & currently also own a 1969 Mini Cooper (classic version as opposed to a new 1), & this is by far my favorite car to drive (even with the fun appeal that the Mini has). Of the cars I own, this 1 handles the best, is 100% reliable, & averages 40+ mpg.
