![]() I have no trouble getting up to speed on short on ramps, but highway passing requires a bit of advanced planning because 50 to 70 MPH acceleration is pretty slow. The engine drones during moderate acceleration but takes on a surprising growl above about 4100 RPM. Acceleration is slow unless you really stand on the gas pedal. The upgraded alloy wheels on the SE also look good and come with larger tires than the ES trim level. The pearl whit paint on ours is quite nice. The SE trim includes upgraded seats and fabric as well as a driver’s armrest. The car rides better than the competition on typical suburban streets and has very comfortable seats. After looking at the Versa (dreadful unless optioned heavily) & the Yaris sedan (pretty good), we drove the G4 SE. We also needed the car to fit a tight parking situation & have a trunk that can hold a folding wheelchair. We wanted a car to run errands locally and (very rarely) to take an 80 mile round trip to visit relatives. While the car is a bit loud when driving at highway speeds and when accelerating, this issue is offset by comfortable seating and a great ride quality for an economy car. No repairs, low maintenance costs for the first 30K + miles & fuel economy over 40 mpg in a barrier mix of urban, suburban stop and go & highway driving. After a job change, I needed a commuter for a 52 mile round trip to work. We remain Very pleased with our G4. … UPDATE in June 2020: car continues to exceed expectations. Nothing exciting about this car unless squeezing every mile possible out of each penny in a surprisingly comfortable, utterly reliable little sedan excites you. Dollar for dollar, this is probably the best automotive value I have ever owned. My big concern now for Mitsubishi is Nissan owns the majority share now, Hopefully Nissan leaves Mitsubishi alone !Īnother update: Lots of additional miles, no problems & consistent 42+ MPG in a mix of driving situations. Don't pay attention to the sticker price, find out what the dealer is willing to sell it FOR! If your main concern is going from point A to point B no one can do it cheaper than a Mirage. Example was the Nissan Versa, its was 3645.00 more money, had half the warranty. No other car manufacturer could come close on price. Why is this? Well, Mirage owners get what this car is about, great MPG without dealing with the expense of buying a hybrid, Great warranty, Above average reliability, Great safety ratings, Cheap car to insure and maintain. Reviewers online hate the car ( Consumer Reports, Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, ect) but owner give … it one of highest consumer satisfaction ratings among its class. Only problem is if you want a loaded car you are forced to get the CVT. The manual is more fun to drive and get more MPG. The only warranty claim on any of them was a cracked armrest on the door.
