The Mitsubishi Mirage fills a sweet spot between city cars and superminis. This petite five-door hatch is about sensible space, strong fuel economy and low purchase price – making it a practical runabout for families, commuters or newer drivers. Introduced to the UK in 2013, the Mirage received a significant update in 2016 (notably the better-equipped 'Juro' model), before bowing out of the market in 2021. Throughout its time on sale, the Mirage won fans with its roomy back seats, great visibility and agreeably low running costs – even if its looks and cabin were more sensible than they were stylish. Compared to rivals like the Skoda Citigo, Fiat Panda and Hyundai i10, the Mirage stands out with its lightness, low insurance costs and surprisingly big boot for the size.
Yes, the Mitsubishi Mirage is a good basic runabout if low purchase price, fuel economy and easy parking matter more than refinement or performance. UK cars sold from 2013 mainly use a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, with manual and CVT automatic gearboxes available. It is light, simple and reasonably spacious for a small hatchback, but road noise and cabin materials feel budget-focused. Check that CVT cars accelerate smoothly without excessive judder, test the clutch on manuals, listen for suspension knocks and inspect tyres and bodywork for city damage. A consistent service history is more important than high equipment levels.
