The Mitsubishi Mirage, produced from 1998 to 2003, represented a significant shift for the Japanese automaker, marking a move towards a more compact and fuel-efficient model. This generation of the Mirage, known internally as the "CJ," featured a distinctive, boxy design, appealing to value-conscious buyers seeking a practical and economical city car. Under the hood, the Mirage was powered by a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency, delivered modest performance but proved exceptionally practical for everyday driving. The suspension was tuned for a comfortable ride, prioritizing passenger comfort over sporty handling. While lacking the sporty flair of some of its competitors, the Mirage offered a spacious interior for its class, accommodating five passengers and boasting a surprisingly roomy cargo area, making it suitable for both urban commutes and weekend trips. The Mirage's success stemmed from its combination of affordability, practicality, and fuel efficiency. The car's relatively low purchase price and impressive fuel economy made it a compelling option for budget-minded consumers. It also offered a comfortable and spacious interior, providing a pleasant driving experience for both passengers and driver. While not known for its dynamic handling or powerful engine, the Mirage's strengths lay in its reliability, practicality, and fuel efficiency, making it a worthy choice for those seeking a dependable and economical city car. Despite being discontinued in 2003, the Mitsubishi Mirage's legacy lives on, with later generations of the model continuing to cater to the ever-growing demand for compact, fuel-efficient vehicles.
