Guys, Maganda ba tong mitsubishi mirage? balak ko kasi bumili. Mahirap na ba maghanap ng mga part nito? Fuel efficient ba to? Sa mga nakaencounter na ng ganitong sasakyan help me.need ko lang ng info. Tnx

AFAIK, medyo mahirap ng maghanap ng parts nyan. I think that's one of the first front-wheel drive Mitsubishi has produced that was sold here in the Philippines. Nakapagmaneho na ako nyan. Pretty decent acceleration pero if I remember correctly, ang isang sakit nyan eh vibration ng dash board. 1600 ba yung engine ng bibilhin moor yung 1400?

1600 ata un. not sure though. Pinagiisipan ko pa kung mirage or starlet. Ano ba mas ok sa dalawa? i mean ung madali mkabili ng parts etc.. Mas practical bilhin :D

Alvin, I'd go for the Starlet pero IMHO, medyo mahirap na rin parts nyan. Usually, yung 60 series na Starlet eh ang engine choices eh 1.0L, 1.2L at 1.3L.

Mirage for me... 8 speed ata sya.. econo mode and performance mode.

sa parts naman... abundant pa yan... hirap nga lang sa exterior (bumbers etc)

Well...not really 8-speed but it had 'Supershift". The 1st gen Mirage/Colt had four speeds/shifts. However, it had two modes. Hmm...yeah, you could say it's an 8-speed car.

hindi ko alam un ah. So you can switch mirage shifting mode to performance mode/econo mode? tama ba pagkakaintindi ko?

With old Mitsubishis, I think the Lancer might be the safer choice.
Remember the 80's box-type Lancer, which had a 4 year life extension in the RP(total of 8 years)

The local market Lancer GT model with a 1.6 liter engine got sporty bumpers similar to the one on the Lancer 2000 Turbos seen below.
