Another recent review of the Mirage:
First drive review: Mitsubishi Mirage
Yep. I know. hahaha. I already compared it to the vios which is almost the same banana. The mirage consumed a bit less fuel than the 1.5 vios A/T w/ 17 inch aftermarket rims. So roughly the same siguro sa 1.3 with the M/T.
My point is, highway FC of the mirage is not that spectacular. Even the advertised 21 km/l is hard to achieve in PH conditions with the CVT. Now for the city, it is another story for this small fuel burner. Let us see.

'Etong dalawang bading na ito ang galing. They were able to get 19 Km/L after a test drive of 500+ Km.

I compared the power to weight ratio of some small cars considering curb weight only plus two 70 Kg passengers.
Ito kasi ang common driving configuration ko araw araw. Here are the number of Kilograms that each horse in these cars carry.
All automatics kasi gurang na ako at gusto ko hhwd (holding hands while driving).
Mirage 1.2 CVT = 12.8 Kg per horse (Kg/hp)
Vios 1.3 G AT = 13.4 Kg per horse
Accent 1.4 AT = 11.8 Kg bawat kabayo
Picanto 1.0 EX AT = 14.7 Kg/hp
Mirage is pretty good.
Although the numbers of the slightly bigger displacement Accent really impresses me.
Vios horses carry more load than Mirage horses.
I just wonder how a drop in K&N filter plus Petron Blaze 100 helps in adding more horses without voiding the 5yr warranty.
pwede naman yan drop-in. just revert back to stock air filter upon having the Mirage serviced at CASA. for the Petron Blaze 100, I don't think na makakaaffect yan sa HP. very very little kung meron man.
yes, the mirage is light. and the engine is right for its size. the paper specs does not always translate on how the vehicle feels to drive. for example, the vios has good low-end power where you can gauge the car accelerating from stop, which is useful for stop and go traffic. while the Mirage feels "Pigil" upon accelerating from a complete stop. that is why I also want to test the Mirage M/T out of curiosity. baka naman its the CVT that causes the slow response. not to metion the sliding clutch feeling at high RPMs.
Will be getting the Mirage as my first car. Hell, don't even know how to drive yet (still a student license holder). My P.O. and DP are ready, just waiting for the actual unit to arrive. Not so excited to get it since I don't know how to drive yet. Mukhang mauuna pa ang kotse sa skills, lol.
Had no problems applying for a loan since my dad works in the same bank and he processed everything. The only time I went to the bank was when I had to sign papers and submit my docs to facilitate the issuance of an Authority to Deliver notice from the bank.
Wanted to invest on a major property para hindi lang sa alak at kung ano anong gadgets napupunta ang pinagtatrabahuan ko.
