Mitsubishi Mirage Usados en Venta

I've had this car for 17 years now. It gets normal city use and the occasional road trip. I have NEVER had a single problem with this car beyond normal wear and tear. I have a bad habit of not maintaining cars the way they should be - I have run this car a number of times on almost no oil and the engine still runs very well. It has never broken down. The worst that has happened is the battery ran down and I had to get a tow to get the car to the auto shop. It's a small car, but that often means I can get into places the larger cars can't.

This is a very small-looking vehicle that packs in a ton of interior space. I'm really not sure how they did it, but it's totally bigger on the inside! We have the base model so it doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that are available, but by far the best thing about this car is the gas mileage. We typically get 35 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. It is awesome! It only costs $20 to fill up (it has a tiny seven-gallon gas tank) but it goes easily over 300 miles per tank so we don't fill it up any more often than we would our gas guzzling minivan. The finishings are basic but good quality and have held up well to the two children that regularly trash the vehicle as well as my husband's work supplies being thrown in and around the car. The trunk space is also massive for a car this size, I can fit all the groceries for us for the week easily inside. My husband has even fit a two-story folding ladder in this car by removing the front passenger seat and laying the back seats flat. Yep, the back seats fold down, making this already roomy car able to fit insane things... like the aforementioned two-story ladder. It drives very well, and we have put nearly 50,000 miles on it in about 18 months. Overall, we adore this car, and whenever it finally dies, we fully intend to get the same model in a newer year.

I love this car. It is very inexpensive. Sometimes you hear you get what you pay for, but I feel I got a hybrid for the cost of a regular car. This car is also shift, which I love because I feel I have way more control over it plus because it is a stick shift. I got the car at a discount because not a lot of people now how to drive stick. I don't do a lot of heavy moving, so one of the only downside is that there is not a lot of room. Other than that, I love it. The repairs are minimum. The car has a good bit of speed as well despite the size of the engine. The car is not a race car but will get you very far on only seven gallons of gas. My previous cars would normal cost me about $30 to fill; this one cost me half and give just as much distance. Cars, I feel, are investments, and since most of time I have to finance them, I feel this one holds value. It cost less for me to own, unlike most cars.
