The Exterior Of The Mitsubishi Mirage

In its segment, Mirage is not a city car that has the design too pretty but looks a bit interesting because the design of the round in the whole body small. Mitsubishi creative enough in the design process that appears different from its flagship product to another. With the gap narrowing front grille while the jumbo sized bumper middle hole. Do not forget, a pair of fog lamp paired to penetrate the fog and help the lighting at night.

Seen from the side, many who do not like his model. Just look at the door handle was placed too low and far enough away with frame window. For those of you who may short be posture this is not a problem, but imagine if there is a high bedpost more than 180cm? Will be a little bit of trouble.

Switch to the back, the design looks too bland, minimal accessories such as additional chrome ornaments usually used around is back window or the number plate holder. Boring? yes.

The Interior Of The Mitsubishi Mirage

Enter into the cabin of the Mirage, and the impression offered to rivet enough if compared to the competing. Organized dashboard either with the use of plastic materials and rough texture. The rough texture is quite helpful as it does not reflect the shadow onto the windshield while in the blazing sun. Dashboard design and arrangement of the control buttons is also interesting, far from the word boring. To complete the feature itself can be argued, among other audio two digs, audio control on the steering wheel, climate control, etc.

Overall, the cabin spacious dimensions behind the Mirage feels small. The space walk, knee space and headroom is not an obstacle. Location of small dashboard also ensures the visibility of the driver is not bothered in the least. Unfortunately, the available limited elbow room because of it's spatial less full. This also applies to the rear passenger cabin.

Performance and engine performance Mitsubishi Mirage

The maximum power produced i.e. HP on lap 77 of 6000 RPM and peak torque of 100 Nm at 4000 RPM. This power is transmitted to the front wheels and drive systems aided by manual transmission 5 acceleration or matic 4 acceleration.

But it's not as bad as it sounds. This car is a bit lightweight, weighing in at 850 kg only. To some extent, the 3-cylinder engine Mirage can work optimally. There is enough power for acceleration beginning to intermediate. Reaching high speeds is also relatively easy, despite the noisy little entered the cabin speed above 80 km/h.

Impression and Handling Mitsubishi Mirage

As a city car with a high price, Mirage is quite convenient to use because it provided a variety of premium features in the bed. These features are quite rarely found in other city car let alone cars LCGC below 150 million. There are two types of transmissions, manual and music CVT. The performance of CVT is smooth indeed the thematic more refined variant of the manual because of the minimal beat. But less accurate in moving the position of the teeth. When will overtake, you need the kick down deep so that the post of the gear down?

The Handling themselves were still in reasonable limits. One of the most interesting things is the control system. Comfortable enough to use in the condition of stop and go and overtaking in the bottleneck. But please be careful when going to pass at high speeds because the wheels are too sensitive to the movement of the driver's hands.
