2024 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Review | Starting at UNDER $18k! 

The mirage is a basic gas saving car. Nothing fancy . A 10 year warranty under 18 grand. Its the car America needs right now.

Without "inflation" this car would cost 13k -> 14k Max!!

This car is great for what it is. Dont get in stupid debt to impress ppl you will never ever meet.

I have a 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage, which I bought brand new in June 2021. I love the Mirage.

It’s never a bad thing visiting the gas pump in this car. Only $23 fills it up from empty. Love this car!

Thanks for reviewing this vehicle. I had no idea that you could get a new "car" for $18000 in todays market Not for everyone and slow as heck but if you're on a budget and drive mostly city/suburban it will work for a lot of people.

The Mirage actually does have rear air vents, they are under the driver/passenger seat. To make them work, you need to set the car onto the leg blower. Or a mix between the leg, and face blower.

Thank you as always Drew for looking out for us poor Americans! America desperately needs more cheap new cars like the Mirage! I'm pleasantly surprised that this Mirage G4 sedan has more rear legroom than the Corolla and Mazda 3! The industry leading warranty and exceptional fuel economy is fantastic!

Thank you so much Gold Pony for reviewing this cute little car! I’ve always wanted a Cadillac personally, but I’m such a frugal person. I had a 2020 Chevy spark that I loved! (Got totaled) so I’m looking into this G4 or hatch style because I loved my spark that much. I also love 40-50 mpg and a max price of $20 k they offer for this lol. Love your content! Thank you! 🖤

Thanks for the feedback. We're gonna get one tomorrow, so I just check what's the features of this car. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing review bro.

Not bad for a college student in a small town.

A nice respectful review of a basic transportation automobile. I drove a 54 hp 1967 VW Beetle for 20 years. And an Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite for 32 years. This G4 is a luxury car by comparison. The greatest fear with this type of automobile is dependability. CVT transmissions - and you know what I mean by that. I now have a Fiat 500 Convertible. A special order made for the dealer as a showroom model. The automatic stick shift is made by Toyota. I talked them out of it. I love little cars. They just feel zippy and more like you are driving them as opposed to feeling like a passenger on a barge. :)

For a new car I think this is great. It’ll get the job done and it should leave me with room to breathe at the end of the month. And at this price I hope it’ll get love from the car community and people will get into tuning it.

I have a Mirage Hatch 😊 which you reviewed. I like this one too. Can’t beat Mitsu’s warranty. Nice review as always & happy 2024 to you Drew. 🎉

Howdy! Great review as usual. Will you ever review the top of the line G4 with the Rockford/Fosgate audio option? It appears that NO reviewer of this machine has ever tested this Mitsu with that option. It would be great to get your spin with it. Looking forward... Peace! 🙏♐

Very helpful video!!

I driven one of these cars and yes they are slow as hell one of the slowest cars I ever drove so the acceleration is pretty non existent. 18k is a great price and very good on fuel 43 miles the gallon. People just want an affordable fuel efficient car that will get them point A to point without draining their bank account and that’s what the mirage is for nothing fancy or fast just basic reliable transportation

You need to shift the CVT into “Ds” mode to get an extra boost of power while accelerating. Doing this will increase RPM, thereby sending more torque to the front wheels and giving the car more oomph under heavy throttle conditions. Use “L” for more torque when accelerating from a standstill. Be sure to upshift manually to “Ds” and finally into “D.” This is most helpful when beginning to climb a steep incline from a standing stop. By mastering these techniques, you’ll be able get better performance from the diminutive engine.

G4 owner here who traded the 22’ ES ($17k) trim for 23’ SE trim ($19k) ES is not a bad choice if you just wanna be cheap. I personally recommend the LE instead for nicer appeal vs ES. 15” alloy wheels, armrest and such. Now, If anyone wants the Mirage with convenience features and a modern vibe inside out, do consider the SE trim level. It only $2k more from ES and it the best bang for the $. LED lights, push start button, heated seats, led gauge cluster, fog lamps, etc… Alternately, the BE is a good option but ONLY if you love the looks outside more than inside of the Mirage. Because, to me, the BE lacks appeal from the SE and it only $700 difference between these trims I went with the SE. Note that the G4 SE ONLY has that trunk unlock button on the key fob and the push button to open the trunk instead of the turn key. It screams convenience when hauling stuff and passengers at the same time. Lastly, the Mirage G4 is a good inexpensive family hauler to transport from point a to b with strollers, Costco runs, and such. The SE would enhance the experience unlike the ES trim as to why I traded it mine in the first place.

I applaud that the mirage g4 is still around and its providing cheap economical motoring, despite this though I would probably get a new Versa and spend a little more because you get alot more in the Versa for your money.

I wish I had a dealer closer to me. One question I have does the rear seat fold down in any of the available trims? Thankyou.

Mitsubishi overall as a brand desperately needs new product, I would love to see the X Force come stateside and put some life into the brand.

There's a Mitsubishi Mirage G4 ES in a dealer by me but for $15.9k. They only have 2 and no one buys them here. MSRP is $19.4k but it's extremely hard to compete since we have Kia Forte's for $19.8k at City Kia in Orlando which is much better than the Mirage ofc.

Great video! I just purchased a 2024 G4. And I really do like it especially the gas mileage. I do have a question about the steering which is hard to explain what I’m experiencing. So as I’m driving on a straight stretch, I feel like I’m constantly having to adjust the steering wheel to stay straight. If I move the wheel just a little to the right it starts to drift right, when I turn a little to the left it starts to drift left so I’m constantly moving the steering very little back and forth. My previous car was a 2010 Chevy Malibu with very smooth steering. Is it just me or is that normal for the Mirage G4 and some thing I will eventually get used to?

"Probably the slowest car in existence." 😂

Are you sure about these prices

I have the 2024 BE (Black Edition) financed at $24,000..It's a 3 cylinder...and I'm not fond of that..slow take off..yeah there's some engine noise but not too bad. I wish it wasn't so compact. It only has one interior light, and that's in the front (should have put one for the backseat, as well). U have to keep watch on your fuel, mine doesn't beep to let me know when it's low. I wish it had a trunk release on the key..

What a good little car. Just swap the speakers and add tints. It’s a NEW car w great warranty. I’d buy one

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada unfortunately I am only interested in a vehicle with an engine that is at least 2.0 litre engine I currently have the mitsubishi RVR with the 2.4 litre engine and awd is standard in Canada because of our unknown weather especially now with winter

Probably good for a high school student, and a few years of college…

Good cheap runabout if you need something to get to work and back, or go to the shops.

Almost 20k for this car is insane

Do they offer a manual transmission anymore?

😍😍💯

Is this car reliable since it made in Thailand?

Is anyone here who bought this car through a mitsubishi dealership but finance it? What trim level did you buy, how much downpayment, how much you pay monthly, and how much is the insurance cost? Thanks.

That tachometer reminds me of my 2002 Kia Spectra GS in high school. Ughhhh

Wait you won't find disc breaks on it. Wait Wait wait you telling me that car has all wheel drum breaks

I was disappointed that you didn't pull a burnout in that beast. ☹️

Mirage is best car to buy when you wish to die in a car crash. For that it tops all other cars. Other than that its one hell of a fine vehicle. 😂

Elsewhere in the world, 18k can get you a fully decked out, and much better looking Chinese crossover, maybe even a seven seat SUV. Japanese automakers are wayy behind the times.

I stay in Las Vegas , Nevada I want to buy the Mirage hatchback 🚗. I would like to buy from younger Mitsubishi to take advantage of that 200,000 mile or 20 years warranty. What are my options . Cuss the dealer in Vegas don’t offer that . Please advice

this mirage sounds like a lawnmower

I'm looking to buy a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage.

You really need a rear difuser for a 76 HP vehicle 😂😂😂

I love this car until you need parts for it....$300 for an o2 sensor, over 400 for a damn strut.....japan needs to send parts over here. Mine is a 2018....had it since 2019 and parts is always costly...it's like owning Cadillac when it comes to repairs

For under 18k I rather buy a pre owned vehicle than this can with wheels. 0-60 in 12.8 seconds 😨 can’t imagine driving this in the highway

This is def not worth around 17k I would say 12 max

A Nissan Versa with a 5 speed would be a better choice if you absolutely had to buy a new car under $20,000.

Pretty bad when you hear $18K and up for this diminutive vehicle and people think it’s a great price. A lot of money for what little you get.

2024 no longer comes in a 5 speed manual as the CVT stinks to hi hell & super slow.

This is a $10,000 car.

I would be so embarrassed to drive a car that has less then 100 hp

I heard rumors that Mitsubishi has really gone downhill that 2025 next year will be the final year of the Mirage & the Mirage G4 series... Looking at Mitsubishi's current inventory, they're NOT doing that great... Only crappy SUVs & this weak Subcompact Sedan Mirage G4. Their old models like the Diamante Full Size Sedan, the Galant Mid Size Sedan, their "signature" Lancer/Lancer Evo Compact/Sports Sedan, the 3000GT Sports Car, & the Eclipse Sports Car, & even their Mighty Max Pickups, ALL DISCONTINUED.... Mitsubishi is currently hanging by a thread because of this Mirage G4 still in the market. If this Mirage G4 joins the Mitsubishi's Discontinued List (which will be after 2025), eventually Mitsubishi will sink completely & that Mitsubishi will end up like Pontiac or Saab, which is they will NO LONGER make cars. Sad for Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi still have a chance to make their car company great again by simply BRINGING BACK their legendary cars like the 3000GT, the Eclipse, the Lancer Evo, the Galant & the Diamante. If Mitsu resurrect those legendary vehicles, then Mitsu survives. Otherwise, Mitsu: join Saab & Pontiac in the defunct list.

Cheapest new car you can buy

76hp? Uh, no thanks. I think I'd rather drive a 20 year old beater and save $13-15K

Clown car. Are those 4 spare tires? The back seat is a decoration. Couldn’t imagine getting in a wreck in that thing.

What a turd of a vehicle 😂😂😂

why would anybody waste their money on this 3 cylinder trash?

😂 I dont know if it would even get on a Socal freeway. Give it the beans 🫘 🤪
