Probably the best review I've seen on this car. The Autobahn trip contradicts all the critics who tell us that "you can't drive this car on the highway". Not that I'd really want to drive it on the Autobahn, but it does show that you can drive at reasonable speeds on highways without being run over.

Imagine that! It takes a German reviewer to give the best, most accurate, all inclusive review of the Mirage I’ve seen to date. And for all the whiny American reviewers that claim they’re afraid to drive above 70 mph on the interstate... ugh yeah, he just bested you by 30+ mph on the AUTOBAHN!!!! If he can safely drive it on the autobahn, I think it’ll handle the daily commute back & forth to work. Thanks so much, great video.

The Americans have long been spoiled by 7L V8 motors and 2-ton bungalows on wheels. "Econobox" does not mean the same in America as it does in the rest of the world, which is why they have that attitude, and also why nobody bothered to sell the Alto there

@@charlesc.9012 Agreed. And that was the saddest day for me personally in automotive news… when Suzuki stopped selling here. I would have been a Suzuki owner for life if they hadn’t pulled out. I’d owned an 88.5’ Samurai Hardtop, a 92’ Sidekick, a 94’ Tracker Hardtop & 3 Metros a.k.a Swifts. What I wouldn’t give to have a Carry or a Wagon R or just a plain Alto. With the US restrictions, even if it has to be a 20 year old one, one of these days, I’m gonna have another & a JDM variety that nobody else has even seen this side of the ocean. 👍🏻

What a great review to such an underrated car here in the US. Your English is good and it was fun seeing this car tested on the autobahn.

Excellent review. Very loud and clearly spoken. Mitsubishi mirage in the fast lane in the autobahn was awesome. Definitely going to buy this car. I was very concern about horsepower and speed. This video put me at ease. Thanks

Absolutely the most detailed review of any car I have ever seen. Your's is exactly the type i was hoping to find. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Oh, and your English is fine, much better than my German. Lol

I love how he gives this car a fair review; in the US they just crap on this car.

Your English is fine and your detailed review on the Mirage was down to earth and not negative like the reviewers in the US do. It’s real and really positive rather than downgrading it and taking it on the autobahn sheer was a good idea as I travel highways in the US for work. I know I want this car now

i love my Mirage very reliable

Very detailed review! I'm buying a Mirage G4 sedan and this is the kind of review I want to hear. Thanks a lot. (Your English is excellent.)

awesome video bro !!!!!your great!! keep up the good work

Great review, thank you for the unique video of this vehicle, subscribed! :)

Thank you for the very thorough review!

Shame you don't seem to be doing any more reviews in English for the international community. I enjoyed this review very much.

Well done! Thank you so much. I currently own a Subaru Forester and WRX but am looking for an economical winter car/ daily driver to keep the salt off of the WRX and your video convinced me that this is the way to go! Good health and a Happy New Year to you!

Great review

thanks for the full review

great video, and your english is excellent.

Very good review, complete with drive on the autobahn. Was surprised the Mirage can go that fast with the small engine. Subscribing.

I own a 2018 with 60,000 miles (USA) on it, and it cruises just fine at 70-80mph! What more does anyone need? So far...utterly reliable.

I absolutely appreciate this review! Very helpful for someone who is interested in getting this car. Maybe you can tweak the title of the video and add "Mirage"? So it's easier to find for Asian buyers. Happy I found this vid. 😊👍👍

People are INSANE! I’m an American who lives in Ohio and actually went from a civic to a 2019 Mirage ES with added fog lights and all weather package in addition. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this car, mine is the same color as the one in this video and I’ve added a few things to mine, upgraded all bulbs to LEDs amongst other things since I purchased last August 2022 with only 6k miles on mine and one owner, this vehicle was well taken care of and is the easiest car to maintain that I’ve had in life thus far. I love the gas mileage, I average about 45-47 mph with mine but overall I’m very pleased and doubt I’ll ever drive anything else again. Excellent review overall 👍🏼

Your english is good. Do wish we have something like the autobahn here in the states.

People drive like A Holes in so much of the USA, exceeding the posted limit. Might as well be the Autobahn. What we need is more enforcement of the actual speed limit. Also to lower it to pre Reagan years 55 mph. Saves a ton of gas and emissions.

I have the ‘23 Mirage & it’s both good & fun to drive.

Very friendly video. Thank you! Btw, I don't mind your accent at all.

I enjoyed your video very much! I have a 2017 " space star" , mirage.

Hi and thank you for the English version as well! :-)

I like this car. I don't know if it would be better to buy updated version or to upgrade the older version with the aftermarket sporty parts. Good review

11:30 excellent camera work. No other reviewer does this. What do you think of the 2021 facelift? (2020 model in Europe)

In Singapore it is also called 'Space Star' LOL... Always the unique naming...

This car is more than adequate. It's fast when needed. It does the highways well.I see lots of Mirages on the highway. Reviewers and haters are so full of BS

It might be caused by the CVT as well as a different driving style, but your lengthy comment also tells me that the car isn't as good as it seemed from the review. I guess it's no pity it's not sold in my country.

Fun fact the EU version of this car i just checked has 6bhp more than the USA version ? dont know why that is but im guessing its down to the higher octane fuel we use in the EU that is 98 RON standard

Dk. sehr gut review, what to pick, this or facelifted i10 "vision" 1.0 60 horsep., same price. Bigger and faster engien in space star, but perhaps i10 wins in overall, quality, driving ability? what would you chose? my first car investment:)

35:00 Die Autobahnabfahrt hättest du noch im deutschen Video reinschneiden können, die war super geil :D "suspension wörks, Im still alive"

I think the name ”space star” is a bit misleading. When I hear name space star I think minivan... why not call this Colt if Mirage cant be used?

Super, und super gut erklärt auf Englisch auch wenn's etwas ungewohnt ist 😅👍

I own a 2015 and I can concur with the general conclusions here. I must add that the 2015 Space Star already had the new suspension set up (and for the expensive models better noise insulation). However, I have got a few criticisms on the car that were not addressed here and also a defence of the car on fuel consumption. The criticisms first. The sunshade flaps are way too small and there is no black finish of the front window above the rear view mirror. Awful when the sun blazes into your eyes. The rear suspension is too weak or maybe the inbound resistance of the shock absorbers is too weak. But when there are passengers in the back or much Luggage, the rear suspension Bottoms out all the time. Furthermore some Space Stars have bad front wheel alignment issues that CANNOT be solved (espeically rear axle). Mine has a bad camber on the front wheels (positive camber on the left side and way negative camber on the right side). The factory is not really good when it comes to wheel alignment.... The rest is OK. On fuel consumption, I am a MPG freak when commuting and I get the 4.1 l/100 km easily then. On vacation I drive normally and then I get 5.0 l/100km in mountain terrain and on the German autobahn. Mind you, that is with CVT automatic transmission (coupled to a 2 speed automatic transmission, sort of high and low gearing). And oh, by the way, in Holland you can also get the CVT on the 1.0 l model.

Helo Ronald, did you find any solution for the rear axle misalignment? I also have the same problem on my 2014 space star. I found this forum: mirageforum.com/forum/showthread.php/4907-Rear-Alignment-Problem-FAQ but it is from the USA, it seems that the warranty there covers this issue. However i wonder if the warranty in europe covers it? Did you ask your dealer? Unfortunately i bought mine second hand without warranty but i'm thinking of asking Mitsubishi Hungary if they'd cover at least part of the costs or even if there is anything we can do about it. Did you find any solutions or have any experience with the warranty regarding this issue? My tires are wearing up fast and i'm afraid that if you make a lots of kilometers on highway maybe it's also wearing out the wheel bearing. Any ideas? Thanks, Valér

Sorry for the late reply. If your car is still in warranty and the wheels our out of specifications, it is a warranty issue no doubt. If you are out of warranty, it is still a product fault and you should get a new rear axle. Maybe you would have to pay a part of it. Contact your dealer and make a claim for warranty or consumer protection (granted by EU and/or national law).

Review is really slow at start but he takes it over 33:55 160 KPH / 100+MPH on autobahn which you can't do legally in USA where nearly every review is that this is the Worst Car In The Free World, but saw 2014 35,000 mi for US $5,500 fixed salvage title.

oh baby, come here and make me lucky, you know?

In UK its called Mirage aswell i think Mirage is a better name as the Spacestar reminds me of the old MPV car of the 90s which was not a good car lol , also you can buy a 5 year old one of these for £4000 with only 20 thousand miles on the clock ,bargain in my opinion.

Gee, somebody can review this car for 40 mins?
