- Hi scotty, i am from the philippines and very fomd of watching your videos on youtube, i would like yo ask what do you think of a 2015 mitsubishi mirage g4 glx manual transmission, with 59,000 mileage ,i recently got one and i would to ask about your opinion on the car please? Thank you
Mitsubishi makes pretty junky cars, they are a step below Nissan. However, the Mirage is the one model that actually has a niche. It is basic, diet cheap, and gets great fuel economy with the 3 cyl, and where that one has a manual transmission you are avoiding bypassing the CVT. If you are a gambler then go for it but just keep in mind that you are also buying Mitsubishi's low quality. Also, keep in mind that Mitsubishi is famous for weak piston rings that cause the engine to burn oil at an early age.
So far, no oil burning issues, been keeping up with proper oil change intervals and maintenance
2015 is the last year Mitsubishi before it became part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, with the Nissan takeover of Mitsubishi.
So you probably have the one of the last great Mitsubishi vehicles, before the Alliance could change the inner workings and quality of Mitsubishi.
On top of that, your car is a Manual Transmission, which is usually better for longevity. If you had the JATCO Automatic, it might be a different story.
Thank you for all your answers..:)
I would rather a Honda/Toyota as Mitsubishi quality was never really outstanding and parts can be hard to come by.
Actually, here in the philippines, mitsubishi is considered as the top 3 brand in terms of availability of parts for repair, toyota and honda being the top brands with the most available parts for repair
They aren't horrible vehicles for sure. You can do much worse for the money.
Just hope you didn't OVERPAY!!!
You can get a new, fresh off the lot stick G4 new for $9,600 (if you live in Washington)

I didnt overpay, i got it for cheap, thanks for the reply
If you mean 59,000 kms, the car may still have some life left in her.
However, if I were you, I’d pick up the old Yaris/Jazz instead. They’ll probably last 500,000 kms with just routine maintenance.
Not everyone wants to pay outrageous money for rattly Toyotas.
As far as I know, honda jazz is not anymore available here in the philippines, and they were replaced with honda fit, i prefer sedans rather than hatchbacks personally because of design aesthetics and among other things
Mitsubishi makes pretty good... forklifts, excavators, air conditioners, ball point pen...
don't forget Jap Zero's
Zeros were rinky dink
