2021 mitsubishi mirage g4 carbonite edition

The brakes were replaced again at about 70,000 miles. I replaced the front brakes and rotors at 37,000 miles after they rusted beyond state inspection standards.That seemed a little premature but could be because of winter salt on the roads around here. Mine has been totally reliable mechanically except for a rattling heat shield that was easily corrected. The manual transmission is 'notchy' at first but smooths out after about 3,000 miles. It handles normal driving safely and is very maneuverable due to its small size. I average 47 mpg year round in hilly Pennsylvania.The 3 cylinder engine has been around in one form or another for decades and is smooth throughout the RPM range, while the manual gear ratios are perfectly matched for the power band. It is fast enough for all legal speeds, comfortable for 2 people, handles everyday driving perfectly well and gets 43-51 mpg depending on outside temperature and type of driving. I'm not sure what they expect but I traded a Prius C … for this car and by many measures they feel equivalent-except that the MIrage costs $10,000 less. Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)Īfter 82,000 miles on a 2018 five speed purchased new for $9985 in autumn of 2017, I can assure any prospective buyer that the interior noise is not 'shocking' as one reviewer claimed, nor does the car wander around the road at highway speeds, nor are all the other negatives by which the so called 'experts' denigrate this car correct.Push-button ignition and proximity keyless entry.Cloth and simulated leather combination seats.The Carbonite Edition is essentially a Mirage LE but with a handful of exterior cosmetic enhancements. Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios).Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connection.

Four-speaker sound system with USB input.The ES comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but you can opt for a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which comes with every other trim level.
