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?

  Indestructible - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By jimcsmith1988 - November 18 - 4:06 am

  Astonishingly reliable- I purchased in 2011 used, and within three days a wind storm dropped a 5000 pound tree on the hood. After chopping the tree up, the car took off as if nothing happened. With a mileage intensive job, Ive been heaping miles on it without issue. Just swapped out the timing belt after 100K miles to be safe, but it gave no indication that it needed it. It is small, and Id recommend the 4 door. The mileage is beyond incredible, I get somewhere between 30-35MPG on average, and thats with a 10 year old automatic setup. The pickup is not fast, but it can maintain 90MPH on the highway without issue. I smiled a bit when I overtook a new Challenger on the interstate.

  By Vik2001 - December 22 - 10:00 am

  This is an excelent vehicle to drive. With its 1.8l engine is ti powerfull enough to give you confidence and strenght in traffic. Its fun to drive and you save on gas a lot.

  Great Car! - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By AJAK - April 7 - 9:53 pm

  Ive had this car since 2002, and it has been the best car. Super reliable. Holds up to normal wear and tear very well. Styling looks pretty good too (kind of looks like the A4 from the same time period!). Good gas mileage. Never had any major problems. I would buy this car again for sure. Very very under rated.

  The Silvet Bullet - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Trina Hannon - January 6 - 9:26 am

  I love my car. Its very reliable and fuel efficient. Not to mention how cute it is. Ive had it for 3 years and I have never had a problem with it. Its already at 80,000 miles and runs like a champ. Originally, I wanted a Honda and was skeptical about Mittsubitsi, but my Mirage has proven to be just as good as any Honda.

  Bloody Amazing! - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By ccmike25 - October 21 - 12:15 pm

  This car is amazing and it still suprises me when people have never heard of it. First of all it gets great gas mileage and secondly its like an indestructable tank I have had this car for years when I bought it it had 70K miles on it at current it has 215K miles on it and have never had to replace anything other than standard maintainance. It may be small and cramped (or I am just way to big) but it makes up for it in reliability and ease of care i have had no problem doing all the maintainance to this car myself and it is a breeze.

  Now you See Me, Now You Dont (Mirage) - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Ivory - September 14 - 12:43 am

  The best quality of this car is how little fuel it uses. My car has not had any real mechanical problems. Just wear and tear issues only. I love the car! I wish it had a bit more horse power though (91hp only).

  What a great car! - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Dan - August 19 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car brand new almost 10 years ago. Right now the car is at 151k miles and still runs like new. Im constantly getting over 35 MPG. I use regular oil (change every 5k mile) and regular gas. The only issue I had at 105k miles was the spark plug cables which had to be replaced. Actually, I should still call it regular maintenance. All I can say buying a new car always pays off on the long run. Of course Mitsubishi deserves a lot of credit and now I understand better why the Mitosis services are struggling - these cars are not breaking down!

  Better than getting a Civic or Corolla - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By chkey - April 7 - 10:00 am

  Have driven many cars, but this one takes the cake. Thought of saving money for a Corolla or possibly a Civic, however, when I saw this car I knew that this was the one. Just as good as Corolla(or Civic) and cheaper. Also, very reliable and depenable. When I look again for a car, the Mirage is on the top of my list.

  I Hate This Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage
  By Kali - April 1 - 10:36 pm

  I purchased my Mirage seven months ago. I think this car is slow. The interior layout is nice, but is very small. I can only have one passenger with me or it is very uncomfortable. Do not buy this car.
