March 3rd, 2016 11:18 AM #1How's your Mitsubishi Mirage CVT/MT doing? how's the aftermarket experience? planning to buy a mirage this month.. how is it?
How's the maintenance doing?
How's the suspension doing?
How's the FC?
How's the overall driving experience?
How well can you compare it now against the Wigo and the Brio not to mention Swift 1.2 or Celerio?
Any advice before buying a Mirage?
Your feedback is gonna be a big factor for me before buying this car. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hitachi battery lasted over 3 years, just topped it up with deionized water then later on with rain water
Relays are made by panasonic
High current fuses are well built and well located
Alternator winded wires are thick
The 3 spark plugs are iridium tipped which is scheduled for replacement by 100k km
Park lamp failed after 4 years
Aircon manual control illumination lamp got busted after 4 years
Impact sensor replaced after 3 years
Mitsubishi let me bring my own oil. 3liters of oil cost P1000
Aircon is made by denso, still good after 4 years
Tires are from bridgestone
P4/km fuel cost, mostly 95 octane
Side mirrors are huge
Engine is powerful enough to tread hilly terain (cabiang tunnel), steep parking like in isetann recto and basement parking of araneta center caloocan, the mall in commonwealth and regalado
Air filter typically cost P500
Aircon cabin filter P900
Oil filter cost P300
My advice is to go for wigo for the resale value

April 6th, 2017 09:16 AM #8^sensors are made by bosch
GLX head unit is so so, but attach an android tablet and it will work wonders with offline maps, dlna entertainment, witv digital tv. Thru a separate LTE modem it will transform the car into a mobile internet hub thru tethering or hotspot where everyone riding this car can enjoy audio & video streaming
If the buyer looks beneath the surface mirage is the way to go, but if its resale value one can never go wrong with a toyota
I always look beneath the surface

April 6th, 2017 05:25 PM #9Was in Manila for more than half of March and was able to meet friends and Uber/Grab drivers who use a Mirage (sorry, I can't comment on the Wigo)
My friends love their Mirage (G4 and Hatch) they say it's more fuel efficient compared to the old (non-Dual VVTI) Vios.
1 Uber/Grab driver told me he hates the fact that the Mirage uses a cable type clutch... He already broke 2 cables in 2 years.
Personally, I hate the look of the Mirage's aircon vent (the one in the middle)... I see it all the time when I drove my friend's car...
I also hate the flat feel of the rear seats (reminds me of the FX)
Against the Wigo (on paper), I love the fact that the Mirage has a bigger engine (I have occassional trips to Ilocos). I also prefer CVT than the normal A/T.
Against the Brio... The Brio is more expensive, has a better engine and it's a Honda.
Wigo may have a better resale value but if you do not plan to sell your car in the next 5-10 years, you may want to test drive all 3 cars and see which one you prefer.
(My personal theory) Mirage is under the "CARS" program so I guess it's model won't change for the next 6 years... Which means the car won't look too old since you won't expect a next generation anytime soon.

April 6th, 2017 06:29 PM #10^mirage employs, multi valve (12 valves all in all), turbo and variable valve technique thats why it can tackle high rpm with an uphill climb using a low gear
Mirage engine with code 3a9X is made by daimler, and i dont expect it any way inferior to hondas vtec engine technology
Panis ang makina ng wigo which i presume only employ 8 valves, non turbo and non variable valve
