    but yeah, read on the mirage forums din para malaman mo kung ano tlga mga issues. lahat naman kasi minsan ay may lemon units....

    matibay din naman nga tlga ang mitsubishi, we have a 92 galant and still running strong and it wasnt maintained that properly din till i started using it., my father and grandfather didnt maintain it much. medyo pabaya but it still in good condition.

    imho maganda talaga ang vios, matibay and can get you to point a to point b without problems but for some reason i just cant seem to like it much maybe because it doesnt have something that sets it apart

    Swift - handling and sporty feel
    Mirage - goodies, gps etc.

    like that. kasi lahat naman ng car sa tingin ko tatagal if you maintain it properly, if you dont kht pinakamatibay pa yan masisira yan.

    hard starting - no experience
    recall due to ABS sensor - di lang naman ang mirage ang may recall
    road noise - nipis ng body - kulang sa sound insulation, dahil sa gulong - maingay
    shaky engine - pag idle, 3 cylinders lang kasi
    engine hesitation - no experience
    soft suspension - suspension setup, not to be overloaded, body roll

    btw, GLS CVT mirage namin

    for a one time buyer ( I assume this means you do not buy a new one every 3-5 years or so), I'll go for the Vios if you can afford it.
    go for the tried and tested models since you will be using it for quite some time.

    my mother-in-law owns a 2008 Vios and it is still good except for the stiff clutch which maybe due to normal wear and tear.

    Risk talaga ang di masyadong popular na models in terms of availability of parts outside of Metro Manila (or Kapalangan kung malapit ka don hehe). Even my dad's kahit-saang-sari-sari-may-pyesa AE101 still gets its parts via yours truly. If I were in your shoes I'll get the Vios (bias aside) but wait for the new model. Let the Mirage "age" a bit.

    That being said we're getting a Mirage CVT because we already have a Vios E AT The Mirage is smaller and IMO easier to drive/park. Space is not a big issue because my byenan will be driving it most of the time for their grocery and church runs.

    Panong hard starting ba? Affected din ba mga push button models?

    Road noise- extra deadening lang siguro yan.

    shaky engine- given na sa 3 cyl format

    bumababang suspension when loaded? Same experience ko sa Vios.

    Mirage vs. Vios. No real winner. Know your priorities, it'll tell what car you really need.

    may mga nagbanggit dito sa forums na may experience sila na hard starting.

    Having owned both cars. For an 'only' car. The Vios is a better choice.

    Having own both units masabi ko go for the vios 1.3g talaga. IMHO mas sulit kesa mirage

    Pros ng Vios matipid, maganda suspension, handling saka mas maluwag. Cons lang nito e dami vios sa daan. Pero ito best point a to b na car.

    Sa mirage naman gusto ko lang cute at medyo sporty dating. so far same sila consumption ng vios. ayaw ko lang dito yung handling saka yung suspension medyo stiff ride niya. Sa lahat ng kotse na na drive ko pinaka comfy na ata yung vios.

    Bottomline vios and no regrets

    Sama FC ng vios sa unleaded ng petron and i dont know why. next time boss use shell FS daming ok na feedback, pero ako i will stay longer sa Xtreme97 ng seaoil dami din magandang feedback. if you will go to petron either blaze or XCX. may nabasa din ako sa vios thread na di ganda FC ng Shell Nitro+ mas ok pa yung shell FS.

    ano kulay boss, ako thermalyte silver. sana inuna mo sir busina ni weepweep, hehehehe decent na murang busina is bosch fanfare mga 1.2k lang kasama na install sa CASA.

    Sa Mirage ko, mas gusto nya Shell Nitro Plus (95RON). Mas maganda FC Compared with Petron XCS. Sa trip computer kitang kita difference.

    I think mas bagong car ang mirage pero compared sa vios. Vios nako mas malaki mas madami ma ilalagay na gamit mas gwapo parin pag na set up ng mabuti. Vios is a sub compact while mirage is a mini on other markets.
