I know a lot of this type of poll have been created in this forum.

After countless of reading and googling.. I still can't make up my mind.

Need your help from sifus2 here..

My problem.. I've tested drive all the car in the option. I like Mirage more. Planning to take Mirage sport, price about rm70k.

But suddenly I've no confidence to take it as for the sake of value of money... the price is quite not reasonable for a small car.

Try to avoid myvi because seen a lot on the road nowadays. But if no choice.. I'll take it.

What I'm looking:
Budget below rm70k
Small Car
Good fuel consumption
Easy maintenance
Nice look

Really appreciate if you could respond. Btw.. I'm a young female executive. Will using the car mostly for short distance and twice a month to drive from kl to malacca.

If you want to go for cuteness and looks, then I guess die-die also you want Mirage. But for RM70k, you can get better performance for the price. Considering you go back to Melaka twice a month, safety and stability on the highways is important too. Not to say Mirage isn't suitable (even the cheapest car in Malaysia will get you from KL to Melaka and vice versa), but on the highways larger and heavier cars are usually more desirable than smaller and lighter cars for added safety and stability.

There is a reason why there are many Myvis on the road when compared to the Mirage. Out of 20 Myvi perhaps we can only see 1 Mirage. If you want exclusivity, then no harm going for the Mirage. Personally I feel the Mirage is too small, but if you dig the size and exclusiveness of the car then by all means go for it. It's your money at the end of the day.

Personally if I travel long distance quite oftenly, I wouldn't choose the Mirage, something bigger (although not so fuel efficient) would be more appropriate.

Thank you so much! you, you read my mind. I like the look of mitsubushi mirage. Space is not my main issue because I'm a single woman. Actually prefer small car for easier parking.

Other than mirage.. I'll consider Saga FLX. Is the fuel consumption really bad as mentioned by some forumer in lowyat?

Out of the 3 cars, I will choose the Saga. But if you are thinking about plonking RM70k for the Mirage, I'd rather take Preve Turbo for RM69k.

If you want to go for cute looks, the I guess you will still want Mirage.

My mom is using preve. Preve is nice but the fuel consumption is really bad. Really expensive to maintain it.

mirage quality also very sux... sit in my fren new mirage, manual, the engine sound is so loud even i seat at the back. then the door handle, when i wan to close the door, i pull the handle, the handle literally came half off!! wtf i realized the whole car is use clip one.. no screw.. even the middle console panel to the gearbox place, the thing also very flimsy, leg touch touch can move it edi. avoid mirage unless FC is very critical.
*
wow. is it that bad? how long have your friend been using the car? What do you mean "leg touch touch can move it edi." ?

I'm driving mirage for almost 1 year FC is gud when u maintain 2000rpm all the time. 140km/h in highway still stable but when 150 a bit floating. pick up is so damn slow this is the main reason i regret on getting this car.
*
yay. finally a feedback from mirage owner. smile.gif but, the pick up is still better than myvi right? did u get manual or auto?

just go test drive all
see which suite your taste better
some time the design is for personal preference
like i'm ok with saga but not so ok with myvi
*
I already tested drive all car. Either me like the look of saga more than myvi. Only I concern about fuel consumption for saga. Daily I only drive 3km roundtrip.

yes, I'm using auto. If compare to myvi 1.3 auto, I would say that myvi is much more powerful than mirage as my previous myvi experience.

This means overall you regret about purchasing mirage. What things you like about this car?

nope...i drive it side by side before
2k RPM...its about the same..neck in neck
when reach a certain speed, 70KM/H something, mirage can speed away already
if u want pickup fast, viva is the one that is fast
the myvi only feels fast
*
Normally my highest speed at highway is at 120. Only when I want to cut the car in front. Do you thinks it's still suitable for me. After reading this... I feel like maybe mirage is not a good choice. sad.gif

For mirage money better buy a preve smile.gif it's a good car actually
My friend have a mirage it's not bad but not as good as preve
And I do not feel safe in that car

Actually my mother owns a premium preve. Yes, i like it a lot. Even i frequently drive the car. But only it's too big and not fuel efficiency. Not practical for me smile.gif
