The Mitsubishi Mirage, produced from 1998 to 2003, was a compact car designed to offer affordability, practicality, and fuel efficiency. This generation of the Mirage, known as the fourth generation, marked a significant departure from its predecessors. It adopted a more modern, rounded design with a larger, more spacious interior, while still maintaining a compact footprint. The Mirage's success stemmed from its versatility, appealing to budget-conscious buyers seeking reliable transportation for urban commutes or family outings. Its compact size made it nimble and easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while its fuel-efficient engine ensured low running costs. Under the hood, the Mirage was powered by a fuel-efficient 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 72 horsepower. It was available with either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission, offering drivers a choice between spirited driving and effortless cruising. The Mirage's suspension system, featuring MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the rear, provided a comfortable ride while maintaining good handling characteristics. While it wasn't known for its performance, the Mirage excelled in economy, boasting an average fuel consumption of 35 mpg, which was highly competitive for its time. The Mirage's reliability was also a key factor in its popularity, with owners praising its durability and low maintenance requirements. However, its basic amenities and lack of advanced features meant the Mirage was not considered a luxurious or technologically advanced vehicle. Despite its simplicity, the Mitsubishi Mirage of 1998-2003 provided a reliable and affordable means of transportation for a wide range of drivers.
