Some reviews from the net...
Mileage 4.1L/100km fuel economy using 91 RON fuel
Part of the requirement of a car getting an Eco-Car tag is that its fuel consumption needs to better than 5.0 litres/100 km (or 20 km/l), and the car has to meet Euro 4 emission levels. The Mirage’s 1.2 litre MIVEC engine has a fuel economy of 22 km/litres (or 4.5 l/100 km, if the online converters are right) and emits only 120 g/km of CO2.
Suspension - The suspension is neither feathery nor harsh. The system is a standard MacPherson front and torsion beam rear. What is important is that Mitsubishi has been able to dial back the body roll to make this small car chuckable around the corners without going out of sorts. And it feels stable no matter the kind of corners you throw it into. Tight hairpins, long sweepers and S-bends are executed with high scores !
Drag Co-Eff 0.29
Tranny Invecs III CVT 0r 5MT
GLS - DVD/Satellite, Bluetooth, Leather Steering Wheel
STD - Power windows, climate control, 6 airbags, ABS/ESC, Fog Lights
The Mirage comes with the standard cup holders, glove compartment and door pockets. Seats are wrapped in fabric, there’s the usual air conditioning and four-speaker stereo system.
Rear Seats - The rear seats are surprisingly spacious, with great head and legroom. They can easily accommodate four adults with a fifth possible if the need arises.
Total legroom for the Mirage is slightly more than 1,640 mm, which is more than the Swift, Mazda2 and March; only the Yaris gives more room to stretch !!!
