FULL REVIEW: The affordable & super efficient 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 LE

- #mitsubishi #mitsubishimirage #mirageG4
The 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage is one of America’s most affordable & fuel efficient new cars: the base Mirage starts at less than $14,000 and with dealer rebates & trade in, you could realistically snag one for right around $10,000. It also delivers a whopping 40+mpg on the highway. We tested a 2020 Mirage G4 Limited Edition outfitted with an impressive list of features & technology, coupled with that super affordable price and stellar fuel economy. But you get what you pay for when it comes to overall build quality, engine power, performance and safety features. Is a 3-cylinder engine with just 78HP enough? Would you buy a new Mirage??

G4 = "Global 4 Door". I bought one of these new in 2014. It has 162,000 miles on it now and NOTHING has broken.
damn, that's awesome!
I have a 2018 from brand new that has 96000 miles on it. Other than break pad and tire replacement no issues whatsoever.
162000 miles are awesome! CVT or manual version?
@@fz4540 Manual.
I own a 2020 hatch and it's because there's not alot on it that can break
My sister bought one of these after years of used cars with issues. She paid cash and just wanted something with a warranty. So far nothing has broken.
They do have an unbeatable warranty!
Mitsubishi is only a punch line in the wealthiest country on Earth. In all other countries an efficient, affordable car that won't break for 20 years is worth its weight in gold.
I have a ‘23 mirage hatch & love it. It’s a quirky & very cute car. I personally like the engine sound which I don’t find annoying at all. It’s fuel efficient with an awesome warranty & takes me where I need to go. That after all is the point of a car. 🤷♀️ isn’t it.
This car is called the "Space Star" in Europe. If you search for these reviews, you'll find that they cruise the Autobahn in this car. Let go of your prejudice and the world is full of possibilities.
When my 08 car has 3 times the engine horsepower I get iffy
I have a Mirage G4 since 2018, 45000 KM so far, averaged about 5.6 L/100 KM city driving and 4.8 L/100KM highway.
I want one of these as a daily for the simple fact that it has a NA 3cyl.
When it comes to DIY maintenance this is a dream come true. 🥰
Same reason for me but because I am a female who does my own maintanence, anything that i can do faster / less to take apart is appreciated. (dont think I can't do the heavy stuff either.... back in my honda days my best time for replacing a clutch was under 1 hour in a 92 civic hatchback) lol/
I purchased the hatchback a few days ago and I must say the car is more than capable for highway use and passing. My complaint are the overall cheapness of the interior, the armrest being awkward and the seat being uncomfortable.
I can live with that stuff. I wanted a Plain Jane car without all these crazy electronics. Extremely easy to work on and parts are very cheap to get. You may not be the coolest guy on the block driving this but you will have the biggest wallet with the fuel you save. I’m getting 38 city and 44 highway
haha definitely not the coolest guy but maybe the most EFFICIENT man!
Nice 👍
@Richard Favreau i don’t purchase American brands so it was all Japanese for me. Plus I didn’t hear great things about the spark for long term reliability
@Richard Favreau i do not want any vehicle with an american badge
@@CollinMac96 Bro, the Mitsubishi Mirage is manufactured in either Thailand or the Philippines.
This is hands-down the best review on this car on UA-cam! You’re very thorough and very detailed with your reviews! I watched this before I went out and bought mine! Thank you so much 😊 ❤️🚘
Thanks! Really appreciate it.
@@overdrive_reviews Keep being really thorough! 👍🏻 People like knowing every detail a car provides. All the way down to the buttons, and how they work, and what they do! Thank you.
its so easy to fit and fix anything in this car, not that it will break. its simplicity at its best
I spent many a road trip with my friends in high school in my friends 2015 mirage that is exactly what it's built for
I own a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback with manual transmission and Is not that slow actually, really nice car, very reliable and also super fuel efficient, I’m getting between 35 to 40 MPG on city driving in Moderated traffic.
Only one major downside. It's the most dangerous car in America, with highest fatality rating, not because it's small, but because it's structural integrity is sh!t. Just look at the IIHS crash test ratings. Thing is less safe than some old cars made 20 years ago.
@@igotanimac1 no it is not, the G4 is less safe side impact, but the hatch gets decent scores.
@@igotanimac1 yep, it gets all Good Ratings with exception of Small Overlap, and it gets at least “moderate”. Many cars do not do great on the small overlap test. It became a thing about 5 years ago.
@@djkenny1202 It rated marginal for front overlap driver side, marginal for structure and safety cage, poor for lower leg/foot, marginal Driver restraints and dummy kinematics. Your likelihood of getting injured in a mirage is greater than any other brand new car sold in America, I'm sorry, those are the facts. You can look at any other 2020 model year car, and they'll have a higher overall safety score. It ranks as the deadliest car in many parts of the country.
@@igotanimac1 that’s not what I read. Not denying its no Prius, but its pretty average
I think that's a great car. I find it one of the quirkiest new cars there is. No other car has a engine that sounds like that, and no other car goes that slow, so it sort of stands out. I don't drive yet, but if I ever do get a new car I'll get one of these. I dont care about the safety stuff and the power issue, would be hypermiling this a lot. Great video by the way!
It's pretty much a "disposable" car in many ways, but after reading several comments by owners, they seem to give it high marks. Seems like a perfect urban commuter or 2nd car. Many Americans seem to put far too much emphasis on what you drive. Many just want transportation, even some who can afford a better car. And I miss a CD player in my VW Golf. Very good review too!
Its very reliable and has many owners well over 150k miles. It might look disposable but doesnt act like it.
it's only a disposable car if you think of it that way. This car should last 20+ years if you keep up on maintenance. The only thing I see possibly going wrong is the CVT transmission if you elect that over the manual transmission.
@@FtanmoOfEtheirys I agree with you, but here in the US, this is considered "basic".
How spoiled we've all become. I just want a car that goes from point a to b. AC in the summer and heat in the winter, heated seats that's a perk. For people that live in cities like me (NYC) and have been taking the subway or bus their entire lives this is paradise. And the comment about the "vanity" flap on the passenger side..it's a visor to block the sun. Throw a compact mirror in the glove box. A "vanity" mirror on the driver's side is wonderful for people to use to apply makeup when they're late for work and cause 10 car pile-ups on the expressway.
When would you accelerate from 40 to 55mph? Wouldn't it be gradual? If you're into racing, this is obviously not the car you would buy. If it's loud, turn the music on. Don't drive fast over bumps. Drive responsibly. Don't floor the gas. It really is better to get there alive than bragging about your fast car on the other side.
The Versa has transmission problems. Certain years have recalls and class action lawsuits. Be sure to research everything.
An A to B commuter and an 'affordable car', esp for 'those doing it tough' or those youngsters after a first car. Basically an alternative to a Used Car. Thanks for your review. from Australia where I believe that the Mirage is at Mitsu dealers.
Dude The accent, Rios and now versa are larger cars.And why are you flooring a car with a 78hp engine? You don't own this car of course I can get it to accelerate without flooring it.just slowly ease the gas pedal the car will accelerate. It's not a sports car! I have no problems driving the expressways with mine.Stop trying to make ecoboxes act like hot hatches or sport sedans with power.
THANKS for posting the review. I drive a 2015 ES hatchback, got as high as 49.5 mpg on commute. Typically 41-45 on most days. 30-35 in city. Pick up is adequate and so is passing (noisy if floored). . lot of other features like auto climate control, wheel mounted controls and a decent stereo. i would recommend that new owners to pay attention to servicing the CVT transmission when recommended. Overall good used car purchase form a dealer that threw in a lifetime powertrain warranty as long as service is done by ASE certified shop, hard to beat.
You’re welcome!
I just bought this exact car, I am excited so I’m trying to learn everything about it lol.
I bought one too! I got mine on Valentine’s Day! 💚
I got 1 too, I see more females driving these but I love my manual transmission.
Me too I got this same car today
@@jessiemcgee501 Are you happy w/the car 2 yrs later?
Are you happy w/the car 2 yrs later?
Great review! I really like this car good honest transportation
Thanks!
Thanks for a thorough review. You really helped me out.
you're welcome, thanks for watching!
If/when gasoline goes to 7$ or more (for 3.78L) , the Mirage will become more desired... especially by drivers of BMW M series which burns the hi-test gas at $8.25 a gallon !
mans looks like Doug DeMuro's little brother
Idk man I have a black one and I am hauling ass on the highway
🤣🤣🤣
Unless you are riding IN the trunk, why do you need padding in the trunk?
Lot of noise enters the cabin through the trunk and wheel wells, at least in my experience.
Bought home the m.m. in sapphire, last week. Lovin it.
What's with the excessive use of black wheels on about all the cars today?
I own one 2015 it fuel efficient, spacious, cvt with engine breaking the( L) or (B) it's good for everyday driving 4 person fine, audio can be upgraded awell as the engine performance.. braking etc. Do not compare this to Honda civic, or luxus IS, mazda 3... Highway its fine on eco mode just Don't try fast lanes as its only 78bhp ... low maintenance car amazing.
Actually i have a mirage 2018 the smaller one with 3 cilinders and mitsubishi outlander 2020. I use the mirage to go to work. And the outlander to go out with my family
So you expect a 3 cylinder to fly that would a crazy expectation seeing the specs of the car
... less $9,900** 2020, same color,
purchased in February, 2024, driven it 6x, love it. Michigan driver, go to Ann Arbor, U of M, doctor's appointments, put $11** to $15** gas/fuel = gives me half a tank.
I don't understand how anyone thought Red stitching was a good idea on the interior of a blue car.
That red stitching would look okay in a red car, maybe even in a black (or white) car if you wanted some contrast (and even then, only if you like red). But IMO it looks terrible inside of a blue car as if the decision was made by someone going for a spiderman/superman theme.
Edit: I'm currently looking to trade in my car towards a blue mitsubishi mirage g4 but currently the only one within a reasonable driving distance is a LE (like in the vid) with the red stitching inside, I'd rather wait for a standard g4 ES trim to show up on sale without the red stitching interior.
I don't know diddley about automotive modification, but isn't there a way you can add/install material on the wheel wells to dampen them? Or does that interfere with professional maintenance?
Probably too hard to mold a strong plastic and then it’d have to be fastened, work around moving strut…then it’d rust behind it. It would also add weight. Nah. But it’d be cool if possible
If you want leather seats. Just go to a car customization shop and they can reupholster the seats for a decent price
I like my manual 2020 sapphire blue just need tented windows. I don’t like riding fish bowl because I feel this car is not as masculine but it’s my baby.
🤣
My mom bought the hatchback Special edition and she have LED in the back to be honnest for some people that's not a good car but when you look the tank oh my god this car doesnt take much. and to be honnest you can sit along time in and you dont have any unconfortable things the sit are really great tbh more then the Toyota yaris the only think i didnt like about that car they bring the old school speakers... You know what i mean like the cones one.... The suspension... We not gonna talk about it very soft too much soft to be honnest... but my mom doesnt have any problem with since :D
GREAT review! Do you think I could have a manual CANVAS sunroof installed into the top of the line 2021 G4? No power one but canvas, where you have to manually pull it back and forward, just like the early VW Beetles. Your educated opinion please? Thanks!
this comment makes me think of installing a sunroof on my mirage HB. I'm currently looking for someone who can do it.
@@rcii1945 If you do find someone or an installation shop that will do it then PLEASE inform. If you would take a moment to reply I sure would appreciate it. Many thanks, friend! Peace...♐
That's a sunvisor not a vanity flap!
I was going to comment the same. This jerkoff that’s reviewing the car doesn’t know his ass from his elbow. Before they even had mirrors on them they were strictly for blocking the sun. I mean with that scraggly ass neck beard this bozo has no idea what’s going on. I’m not surprised he’s a self centered douchbag. On top of all of that he’s bashing the car when it’s decently reliable and an inexpensive point A to B transportation.
I drove one last night 7/15/2021. It sounds like a lawnmower, vibrates like my wife's Hitachi magic wand, and it felt like I was driving a 30 year old clunker. This thing reminds me of the 3 cylinder Yugo's of yesteryear. Anyone else remember those heaps of junk?
Junk no but it’s fun!
Ill definitely buy one my mustang n camaro v8s waste to much gas
When the Mirage gets redesigned, do you think it will just be a Nissan Versa with a Mitsu badge?
I do not
“Noisy”
*laughs in 24v Cummins*
Look like Proton Saga (3th gen), similar design
I bought one. Made the mistake of teaching someone to drive in it. It's totaled but the structural damage was minor. The reason it's totaled is because parts are so expensive. On top of that, I'm stuck with a car that is illegal to drive, I've had expired tabs for over a year now because I can't pass a salvage inspection. What part do I need to pass the salvage inspection? A turn signal socket, for a light bulb. I've been looking online for about a year, the dealership doesn't return calls and sends you to voicemail. Don't buy it. There's better cars out there with similar mpg and a better ride. If you need parts you're fucked. Look up crash test videos of this thing too, it crumples like theres no car under the hood. The fender bender that totaled my car and crumpled my hood, had zero visible damage on the truck's bumper that was hit.
Really? No parts available?
How about a salvage yard? If the car is such junk as you say I'm sure there are other cars that have been badly damaged in other areas of the car leaving the parts you need almost new.
If you want a fuel efficiency car might as well get a prius, definitely better then the mirage
Prius is cool but ugly.Id drive it though.
A car with less computer crap built inside is a way better car to drive. I would never want to own a hybrid
And definetly way more expensive. And the mirage is simple
Prius is awesome but for twice the price.. this gets hybrid gas mileage and the hatchback is fun!
I have a 2020 g4 le (30,000 miles) I've had it up to 56mpg on county back roads and 35-40mpg going 80mph on the highway
If you have short highway on ramps, good luck :D (yes I own a mirage)
I uber drive in my 74HP Mirage, often merging onto the dangerous highway on short ramps. It's not bad at all, you just gun it to 4k rpms and turn off the AC for a second.
Yea its not that bad. I have one too.
@@Area-cf1gt I've got 96k uber miles and 5k rides on my Mirage. No issues merging onto highways. Not sure what that other guy is talking about? You merge ok too?
@@kylemas2005 yea merging is just fine. 70,000 km and counting . 2018 cvt mirage😁saphire blue
@@kylemas2005 yeah the ac really kills the 0-60 time
looks like it left the assembly line without a care
Yes yes! Plan your on ramp to the Highway carful lol.. if 18 wheeler is coming on strong behind you .. even if you floor it.. it’s goes nowhere lol.. my mother has one of theses .. I’ve had to drive it a few times.. not quite the same power as my 2019 golf R ..lol ah no
Well yeah that's how this will feel, remember a lot of the people buying these used to have old early to mid 2000s or even 90s model year cars with fuck all power. I own a 08 528i and have over 3 times the engine power as one of these but I get why they exist, at the same time buy a used fiat 500 or mini cooper...
@@clover8673 so you recommend buying a even crappier car over the Mirage? Lol
@@frederickwalters2729 really called a mini cooper crappy huh, I can tell I'm not gonna get any form of intelligent conversation from you
@@Twilight-cl3zc give fun with that, ad a college student I can get a kitted 3 cyl Oxford mini for only 19k making around double this things horsep with a 5 year full warranty
You can...hide stuff..in that trunk door. Juuust sayin'.
I don't understand why *anybody* needs rear assist monitor, of you have a BACKUP CAMERA to look at. ... 🙄
You are funny calling a sun visor a flap mirror.
Gas saver is what this is
Back when I had this, I'd spend $25 MAX for a full tank. I miss that, I traded that in for an hyundai and now I'm paying almost double that 😅
Shame on you Mitsubishi.....rear drums and lousy halogen front lamps....should offer them as an option.....
With same price, Toyota IA or Chevvy Spark way more better
spark has two doors, less mpg and a bit more shittier than this car in all levels
If I was a soccer mom I'd get the Chevy Spark
Akan Bezza
No Stickshift? Dumb in a sporty edition.
The manual transmission isn’t the best standard on the market. Hard to describe unless you’ve driven one. Plus the cvt is rated higher for mpg. This is the only car I’d recommend the auto over the manual
Collin Mac I had opposite experience. I found the CVT scary slow off the line. The stick is pretty smooth. It should cost less to maintain than the CVT and its peppier. I also managed better MPG with manual models, knowing how to drive stick. I managed 55 mpg on the freeway. Additional benefit is a entry level Mirage is only $9000 range after incentives and discounts. I would not opt for a loaded one. They can be purchased for $13,000, but under 10 makes more sense with these cars.
@djkenny I have the 5speed and it’s okay off the line. Merging on the highway... you better build your momentum lol. I get about 39 combined and I drive semi aggressively. I don’t expect much out of this car so I can’t really disappoint if my expectations were already low lol
Collin Mac I came so close to buying a left over 17 end of the year for $9500 in burnt orange. I recall an SE hatch CVT I also Drove flat out scared me how slow it was merging to make a left at a light. The stick was no race car, but adequate.
I do not really regret instead buying a 15 Scion XB manual with 32k, instead. But that fuel economy is awfully attractive!
@Richard Favreau definitely a great deal. There is advantages and disadvantages to both. Spark is spunkier/handles better. Mirage has a much longer warranty and gets great mpgs, often over 50 mpg.Mirage has a little mire space . Reliability is likely better long term on Mirage, but with manual models its less a concern. Newer motor on Spark is likely better, prior editions had some reliability problems. CVT Sparks are not very good, but quite okay okay with Mirage. Yeah, I think the Mirage requires next trim up for Apple Car Play, but there is always aftermarket Mirage has Standard cruise control. Both can be had under 10 grand and are an excellent value. $9900 OTD is wonderful. Too many options and higher cost makes little sense. On both cars.
Only one major downside to buying this car. It's the most dangerous car in America, with highest fatality rating, not because it's small, but because it's structural integrity is sh!t. Just look at the IIHS crash test ratings. Thing is less safe than some old cars made 20 years ago.
You must not like this car... You fucking comment on every god damn mirage video
@@Almighty_cornholio Lol, and he is ALWAYS wrong!
Lionel Messi: You're such a dick, always with safety chatter on many Mirage vids. Have you no life, asshole?
@@Almighty_cornholio I'm so glad you pointed out the obvious. Good job. Of course I don't like dangerous cars.
@@aaroncostello8812 I'm sorry, but I only pointed out facts in our previous conversation. You couldn't tell me where I said something wrong with a 10 foot pole. That's why you left ✌️
