Hi all, I am planning to buy this car, but not sure about:
1. maintenance
2. fuel consumption
3. spare parts

I had test drive the car, but can't drive out of the showroom area, so don't know about the Noise and vibration level, but I would said the handling is pretty well. I can make smooth small turning effortless, and since is low speed, the noise level is acceptable for such a small car.
I am considering car below 70k, so here is the list of cars:
1. Proton Preve
2. Suzuki Swift
3. Perodua Myvi
4. Peugeot 207
5. Hyundai i10?
6. Mirage

But I don't really like Myvi, just personal dislike

OK. To me, a basic person who drive a car, that is what I want for handling. Anyway, that's just me. Thanks for correcting my wording used.

As fuel consumption for city drive (Mid Valley area) was about 8.5km/l, which I think is not too bad. The only complain I have on the Preve is the engine noise when try to over take ( > 2k rpm) and need to press more for it to start moving

I am actually looking for a daily car to work, but I don't really work in city nor trap in traffic often.

Congratulation!
Please do provide your review and feedback on the car. Would really want to find out the fuel consumption and the ride.

Thanks!

1k discount? care to share your SA contact?

too bad I am not

Serious? Price increase?

Please share the SA contact with me too. Tq!

Just booked my mirage! Thanks Edison83 for the SA contact!

Yes. And he also dropped by Balakong to meet me at Aeon
So next time (when I get the car) we can go TT at the Mitsubishi at Balakong

Hopefully can get load approve and car soon. SA said need to wait 2 months as I chose Red
White and silver ready stock ...

anyone got the chrome package? worth it?

Very quiet forum ...

You sure got extra? so far, the SA is saying is the same as 2012 model with no extra features

That question for Kylelim ...

It is better to recall now while under warranty then later ...

You sure you want to get Mirage? How much is the cash rebate? My advice: don't get 2013 Mirage, and if you can wait, better get 2015 model. Just a note: Mirage Model don't follow the make year - You can have Mirage 2013 Model which manufactured in 2012, and 2014 model manufacture in 2013, so be careful which 1 is the SA referring.

I don't recommend to get 2013 model because there is some issue with the flywheel for the keyless version (and some said even the keyed version), and MMM is not asking all Mirage to be replace and repair. MMM is only replace and repair if you report it.

Unfortunately .... yes ... It will still at risk of the flywheel issue. But then, the flywheel don't happen to all the Mirage, so it is your luck whether you got the "Flying" 1.

Welcome to the club!!

Model 2013 - is a conned mirage
Model 2014 - got side folding side mirrors, seat belt indicator, speed indicator, eco indicator ...

Again, you sure you want to buy Mirage? If you can wait, maybe wait a bit longer and see the feedback on the new parts that suppose to fix the annoying flywheel issue. There are a few Mirage owners had changed and now awaiting for their feedback.
