    The many reasons you should never buy a Mitsubishi Mirage G4 in 2019 (Thanks Vios XE)

    1. The Vios XE has 4 cylinders versus 3 on the G4
    2. 98HP versus 76HP,
    3. 123nm versus 100nm
    4. EBD is standard on all Vios
    5. Brake Assist is rather important.
    6. It has stability control
    7. It has hill start assist
    8. It has curtain airbags
    9. It has knee airbags for the driver.
    10. Vios is wider by 60mm thats over 2 inches wider!
    11. Vios is longer by almost 200mm
    12. it has a 7inch infotainment
    13. steering mounted audio controls.
    14. excellent resale value

    Are you now an SA at toyota? Heheheh [emoji111]️

    I do agree that at 750k range, the vios xe just blew every competion out of the water.

    I still believe in the following tiers for sedan:

    Below 600 to 700k - get g4 glx or vios j
    700k to 800k - vios xe (new) or almera (before)
    800k to 900k - city or probably accent diesel (they have not released price yet)

    would you buy a g4 when you find out the frame twists/flexes?

    disregarding the reasons?

    Appraently, for "most" buyers, they dont care. Bottom line is cost.
    Let's go back a little bit and apply eon and alto as an example. Those cars aint safe based on ncap. Still many buy these cars.

    As for me, i own a mirage (hb), and know most of its dark secret so i know this is a city car only and that's it.

    Family owns 2 vios 3rd gen and i know and feel that they are def above the mirage.

    Bottom line, price is king. If buyer only has a certain amount of money, they will get what is the most affordable that checks majority of their requirement. Unfortunately, we pinoys are not there yet in terms of safety awareness.

    A friend bought a mirage brand new. On d way home from the dealership, the car stalled. Casa technicians couldn't find the issue and was not able to restart. Ended up returning the unit and asking for a refund.

    This is personal knowledge. It was a long process but my friend was able to engage fortun law office. Apparently, it matters who you put up against the dealership.

    Bro. Mitsu is known to br very generous on discounts.
    If sticker pice comparo, yes, it is close, but if real world setup, mitsu will give huge discounts.

    So assuming you get a very conservative 40k discount, that is already at least 59k savings on the buyers part.
    At this segment, medyo cut troat ang competition since target audience is those starter or has not have much savings yet.
    60k can be diverted to another urgent need or investment or anything else.

    The new vios doesnt have discount yet cause it is new. But maybe revisiting it sometime later would yield a different conclusion (when discounts are already there).

    Eitherway, im still holding on my segement per segment bang for buck list (it is my opinion anyway and doesnt enforce it to others).


    Oh.. and btw, gas cost pa nga pala. Hehehe.
    Im hoping that the new vios has improved mileage compared to 3rd gen.

    Considering the cost of maintaining a vios..its cheaper to operate aG4

    Less oil..less fuel (lighter engine)..no steering fluid

    Panis yang vios mo

    let us wait and see how buyers will vote... with their pocketbooks.
    showroom prices can be "manipulated".
    from time to time, toyota does have its "moments".
    my wild guess is, the xe will not sell as good as toyota expects. the base model will still sell better.

    The Mitsubishi Mirage Is the Worst New Car You Can Buy - YouTube

    Wouldn't buy a vios (bad experience with the 1st gen) but between the two, the vios is objectively better.

    the listed qualities are easy to verify and/or behold.
    the reliability part... that's ... controversial, according to some owners. daw.

    strangely, however, from the older folks i had occasion to converse with,
    toyota reliability is the reason they're in the toyota casa, as i am.

    it's like the reason for the immense popularity of the payaso and the bubuyog.
    it's not the delicious taste.
    it's the quality. they go there because they know how it tastes. no surprises.

    Toyota is the best!

    Wala nang mas mahusay, matibay, maganda sa mga tatak Toyota. Dapat Toyota lang bilhin at wala ng iba [emoji16]

    Lahat ng ibang brand, walang kwenta. [emoji51]
