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.

  Great little car - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By B Helms - October 12 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Mirage used (it was formerly a rental car) and never had a bit of trouble with it. The resale value isnt good, but it is a great little car for the money. Consistently good gas mileage. Never have needed to take it to the shop. Handles well for a compact car. Interior comfortable, and the DE sedan is packed with good features. Im having to replace it because someone recently totalled it for me, and Im upset!

  Cute but Sensitive to Road Conditions - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By 580 Lady - November 4 - 10:00 am

  The car is cute and perfect for commuting to/from work or even for professional moms. It was a great deal for a used car but I quickly realized that the car lost its appeal on me when I noticed how sensitive the wheels were to the road. If anyones driven on CA-580 knows the road is full of potholes, cracks, and whatever else. You must have a steady hand and heart to drive this lightweight car around the Bay Area. The car is sensitive to high winds while driving on bridges and overpasses and obviously will slip and slide all over the place when the road is not in the best shape.

  Worst Car Ever owned - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Dude From Clevland - October 15 - 10:56 pm

  Considering I have owned a Pinto, 2 Escorts, a SHO, and original Rabbit diesel, that is saying a lot. Bought new. First week engine light started going on and off, 4 years later finally did my own tune up and it went away. The cars paint faded after 9 months and the rust started 13 months after purchase. My wife was diligent at changing oil. At 80k it has been diagnosed as having bad valve seals. Replacing anything is a hassle that requires isnt easy. Lights for instance are held in by silly clip. Now at 80,000 the car looks and drives like a car with 280,000. The door leaks air, the CD even quit at 50k, the gas door has seized up, and it has an exhaust leak.

  Good car - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Nice car - August 20 - 9:20 am

  I just got this car about a week ago. So far it is an awesome car. The only complaint that I have are the cup holders are really annoying trying to put them back in there place. They get stuck and take like a minute to put in when it should just slide in. The car has 93,000 miles so its very reliable just get oil checked every 3,000 miles and the car will last forever. My next door neighbor has the same car and theres is up to 100,000 miles and still runs good. But my red car looks a lot better then there tan one.

  Argh! - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By TheNamesLisa - April 4 - 2:00 am

  After owning a trouble-free Nissan Sentra for 8 yrs, this car is very disappointing. I only got rid of the Nissan because it wouldnt pass my states emission test. Rides like a dump truck, has no "get up and go", has surprisingly poor fuel economy & is very noisy (lots of air noise coming from the windows). This problem became more apparent after my son shut all four fingers in the door at the top & his only response was a calm "oh...my hand is shut in the door." But Im stuck with it for the next 5 years, since I owe more on it than its worth. Also found out that it had been wrecked. Live & learn. Spend $15 & get a Carfax report before you buy.

  Lots of Car for Less - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By PhillyO - November 4 - 9:40 am

  I bought my 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage with only 12,995 miles on it in April, 01. Now, in March of 06, I have over 112,000 miles on it, and my only problem is that my AC does not work (it needs to be charged, thats all). It has gotten me through snow, ice, and all that is not nice. Its not the most powerful car in its class, but it will get you around slower cars on the interstate without much effort. Everytime I feel the need to trade in or sell my Mirage, I drive it once more, and Im reminded as to why I still have it.

  Mitsubushi DE Coupe 2000 - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By depawindu - August 19 - 4:43 am

  I bought this great little car new and it runs faithfully with almost no maintenance. Its paint began to oxidize on the top and flat surfaces after 8 years. The electric windows both broke after 4 and 5 years. The turn signal failed at 8 years also.The DVD player broke after 3 years. Otherwise, it has been wonderful. Ive had one accident; it is incredibly strong and takes a hit and keeps going.

  Great Car - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Carol - March 24 - 6:33 pm

  I have really enjoyed this car for almost 8 years now. Driven all over the US. Good mileage, low maintenance, changed the oil every 3000 miles. Still has another 100000 in it. Will keep it as a second car.
