This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Sleek styling, quality interior materials, stable handling.
Cons:
  • Questionable crash-test scores and value.

    My wife and I have owned a 2000 for almost 2 years and find it to be an excellent car. Only negative is resale value.

    Purchased my Mirage because of round trip to and from work distance of 60 miles. Thats 300 miles a week. Gas milage is excellent. Have over 110,000 miles without any mechanical problems. Have even took car on vacations with my five member family. Two adults three kids.

  • Good Car on Used Market - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
    By -

    I bought a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage to replace a flooded car in Hurricane Katrina. I expect that it will most likely provide good reliability due to its Japanese manufacture. Its interior design is modern, useable and easy to understand. The exterior is what you would expect from a 00 model year. The trunk space is good. The car drives well and its body integrity feels better than most other small cars, especially Kia or Hyundai models of the same year. My opinion is this is a great car for anyone looking for a good used car that gets good gas mileage and is well built. The fact that this car historically depreciates quickly is advatageous to used car buyers.

  • Its awesome - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage

    For those who dont know what a deal is, come and look at this car. It is not expensive and it is so reliable. You should check out all the reliability test that several website do and this car is ranked very high comparing to other cars in the same class. I think Honda and Toyota is over priced. This one is just right. Of course there is no leather luxury, no fancy stuff that you expect in a Beamer, but its a 13k car, what do you expect. So far I have never had any problem at all. As I state again, if you are to buy a car that gets you from A to B, then this is the car.

  • Cell phone totals my MPG - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
    By -

    Bought it after 1 test drive ! I gotta give it to them, after 9.5 yrs & 41mpgs I did nothing but regular maint. and this car never let me down ! Thru 16"s of snow she just would not quit! Today 4/7/09 it was totaled by a cell phone in use! The power was slack especially w/ac on but other then that & some interior improvements would have been nice Ill never replace it for the money paid 13,000 & some change I never once had this car in a shop but for regular timing belt change @ 100,000.

    This is my second Mirage, my first one was involved in a front end crash. It kept me safe, after looking at it in the junkyard Im lucky to be alive. The car runs GREAT, my second one the only work Ive done to it from when I bought it was a timing belt and water pump along with an oil change. GREAT car and safe. The car shifts well, very smooth. Awesome on gas, mine gets 25 city miles. I do A LOT of driving, its a cute car great for new drivers.

  • Sad to let go - 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
    By -

    I bought this car brand new in 2000 because my 87 Nissan Sentra was dying on me. I have havent had any problems since owning it, even after getting into a fender bender in 2001. I did my best to maintain it with regular oil change and such. This is the most reliable car Ive owned and Im actually sad to let it go. I traded it in for a new 2007 Volvo S40 tonight and somehow Im ridden with guilt for replacing it since I really didnt need a new car.
