Did anyone driving this car ? Mind to share your experience, it is a good buy ? Interested on this car due to save fuel and reliability of Mitsubishi car.

Thanks,

if u ask me...yes

How is the power compare to other car. Any comment will be most appreciate.

the power is there
ppl always underestimate this car because its 1.2L
but its there because the body is light
if u come from above 1.3L..of course u will feel its underpower since you're used to more power
but eco car are like that
the FC in this thing(i mean mirage la) is pretty much godlike

Well, the outlook of the car turns me off at 1st sight, probably due to its door handle and the lock button beside the handle is just ugly to the max!!! The rear light, so yuacks.... But then when i get into the car, it's actually not that bad. The interior even looks nicer than the new vios. Of course, it depends on people.

Test drove it, the car actually runs well. No underpower felt (actually i felt it accelerate better than almera), loaded with 3 adults.

But then, no chance to test it on highway, only city drive. Not sure how it handle when it reached 100km/h.

Haha brother , seriously very light meh ? Much much more heavier than myvi if I'm not mistaken.

Its really funny how people bash viva 3 cyclinder engine vibration and all those vibration caused problem , and now they praise the 3 cyclinder engine

did u see the spec sheet bro?
myvi is over a ton
this is below a ton...900-950KG only
and FYI...ford's ecoboost engine is also 3 cylinder(if u dn't know) and it wins world's best engine
this and the ford's could be different than those previous 3 cylinder engine...

I agree with you. I checked the weight of this car is just 900 KG and myvi the lightest is 950kg.

I think it contribute to the power.

Seem getting good feedback from the power. I should make a test drive as well. The interior is nice and the fitting is good.

this is a nice car with good FC, the boot space is a bonus.

Let's admit that this car is for those who wants a cost effective car. U get super cheap road tax, low fuel cost and lastly the price of the car itself is cheap compared to its rivals

myvi is 960 , attrage is 905

attrage
56 kw
106 nm

myvi
67kw
117nm


attrage running on cvt (sluggish)
myvi 4 speed auto

For the attrage high spec pricing , you have much better options like almera , mazda2 , inspira all running proper 4 cyclinder more powerful and probably better looking .

For the low spec price which is 58k makes a little more sense than the high spec , but I will go for persona / saga anytime .

So to me people who buy attrage mindset are like those who buy vios , vroom wow mitsubishi badge HP + 100 , but dunno what is inside .

The reason people choose this car is because of reliable brand ( Mitsubishi ) famous with reliability, fuel efficiency and also the car is sedan which is practical.

Actually almera is a good choice but in real life driving on the road it doesnt save fuel as what it said. For this attrage I'm not sure but for mirage already prove it save fuel.

Mitsubishi was never famous for reliability , compared to T , H , N . And what reliability can you expect from a 3 cyclinder engine which will make the entire car vibrate more than usual , your mounting already will surely K.O faster than any car and its not cheap to replace one .

And how much fuel you can actually save when spec on the sheet already prove the car in under powered , unless your journey consists of only downhill then by any means go for it .

Mirage save fuel its because the weight is only 825/850 , weight similar to viva , viva also very save fuel , if viva equip with CVT I think mirage can go home sleep already .

And one more thing , mitsubishi spare part will definitely be more expensive than , T , H , N and perodua , because of the low number of mitsubishi car on the road , shop won't store spare part for mitsubishi cars , similar to mazda .
after warranty any sparepart spoil , kaboom all the money you saved for fuel and all the underpower frustration you endure all this long , goes into your repair bill .

Look at all the prehistoric Wira, Iswara, Waja teksi still running today, what do they have in common?

You seem to look down on 3-pot engines. Please go and test drive a Mirage/Attrage and tell me if it vibrates like a Viva or Kelisa.

Underpower? a Saga FLX 1.3l CVT is not underpowered, neither is this. This is a city car and is designed as such.

Yea, except the Mirage is a B-segment and is in fact slightly longer than the Myvi (with longer wheelbase as well). Viva is a A-segment K-car.

If you wanna compare different segment then why not compare to a kapcai as well?

Then we should all buy T H N P1 P2 enuff liao. All other brands can balik kampung tanam jagung.

I aint a fanboi of Mirage/Attrage either, I feel they're a bit of a one-trick pony that offers very little other than the godlike FC. But your criticisms of the car doesn't seem justified to me. You can do a lot worse than buying a Mirage/Attrage.

I think the attrage is not bad, if Im working in kl and needed a sedan, attrage would definitely be one of my top choices due to its FC.

i was just being chased by a d-max and a viva...they can't chase me(once i eliminate the DBW delay)

haha...if u calculate before
the power to weight ratio for both car is very similar actually
and for the BOLDED part...i gotta laugh abit 1st
u must not own or drive 1
i own both the mirage(CVT) and another car which uses 4AT
daily driver...i'd choose the mirage CVT ANYTIME....the 4AT is more for high speed drive
the 4AT is fun but it needs to warm up...else its sluggish....hard to switch gear whereas the CVT is smooth all the way from the start

and almera....i sit in there before...man, i was disappointed with the interior
i'm a guy that appreciate the interior more than the exterior..since u will be spending 99% of the time inside

Yeah la haha , it's a common sense that in a car engine is the last thing to break down , 3 cyclinder DNA are mean to vibrate more than proper 4 cyclinder its about how it kills the mounting . no need to test , its like asking to check your mum is women or not. umm have you test drive the car then ?I don't look down on it , just pointing out the disadvantage of it .

Oh yeah lor so state it clearly mah , attrage is just as powerful as saga 1.3cvt lol,so its vroom very powerful .

why not ? when the 2 different segment cars weight so similar.If kapcai weight 800kg ++ and has 1200 cc I will put into comparison also.

I'm not saying Mitsubishi is no good , but if you buy Mitsubishi car just to save that little fuel and to get proton saga similar power spending that much doesn't make sense

I agree with all you said.The Mitsubishi is well known for it's reliability.Just watch any of the car review.They usual summarize will be "it's Mitsubishi so reliability is no doubt at all"
But sad to say only H T fans dunno about this.To them T&H is godsend's car.Best reliability best RV

Even 4 bangers engine mounting will also eventually die, it is wear and tear, how does it relate to reliability? That's like saying buying tires with low treadwear rating makes it unreliable.

I never said either cars are powerful. I said they are not underpowered for their designated role. Don't put words into my mouth.

kapcai can seat 2 person, a Mirage can seat at least 5. See what I'm getting at? Mirage/Attrage is a Myvi size car with FC better than a Viva. If a Mazda6 2.0l yields the same FC as a Vios/City/Almera, do you say 2.0l is too underpower Mazda6 can go balik rumah tidur and everyone should buy Vios/City/Almera?

+9
1 advantage mitsu have over T is power
just sayin
thats why i prefer mitsu over T

Yes 3 cyclinder or 4 has nothing to do with reliability , but 3 cyclinder engine will wear the mounting fastet for sure .

But viva also 5 seater wor . I don't really get what you say anymore because I think you're just trying to twist and turn your words .


So lets stop the debate and make a conclusion for TS.

So what you get in a attrage is

Power - As powerful as a saga 1.3 cvt xD
FC - worse than mirage but slightly better than myvi
Running fees - spare part will be more expensive than Toyota Honda Nissan perodua and proton , mounting will KO faster than almost any car .
Price - Around 75 K High spec , alternative are almera mazda2 and inspira all running on proper engine much more powerful.

Mirage/Attrage is a B-segment, Viva is an A-segment, even if they have similiar kerb weight.... that's all I was saying.

I was reminding encik Longway there that he shouldn't conveniently overlook the fact that the Mirage/Attrage is a bigger car than Viva, and the Attrage has a boot, but still has better FC than a Viva.

Which part of my post was an attempt to twist and turn my own words?

but but....they advertise attrage's FC as 22KM/L
1KM/L higher than mirage(21KM/L)
and FYI...the advertised 21KM/L is not only achievable...its also beatable(under highway condition)

What encik longway said make sense also .
Just look at my comparison , attrage doesn't make sense at all.

I don't disagree that it makes sense to very few.

I will never buy one, but the fact that I see more and more Mirage on the road shows that not everyone looks for the same thing as I do in a car.

But dares if you look logically , the fc you saved will eventually go into the expensive spare part . And usually when we discuss fc too detailed people in lowyat will pawn them with their fc calculation showing that you are not actually saving much in long run .

So really there's no point at all to purchase this car

My previous post pretty much sums up what I think.

Maybe you can direct your opinion to actual owners such as MR_alien and ask why he bought it.

if it's the same price as an inspira (1.8 manual?), then no need to consider at all

If not mistaken, the 75k is alrdy full spec which included leather seat+tinted+touch screen+reverse cam +body kit with drl.
Its pretty much like the vios trd / city E+ where less people will get the full spec one la, normally those will be cheaper if get outside.

the lower spec one (i mean auto) i think its 69k or 67k only. comes with keyless entry also

Manual is 58k? didn't ask the salesman because i never interested in manual car

So i think so far its the cheapest import sedan car can be found in malaysia? Don't bring in P1 or P2 la, import car fight with import car fair a bit ma

mivec vs mivec ma

and RM vs RM ma

If proton willing to rebadge the car, it would be only 30k i think

Yeah lor , thats why I suggested almera and mazda 2 mah , both surely better than attrage .

Hi TS,

I think every car has pros & cons, Attrage being the cheapest CBU sedan in Malaysia, u can get a full spec with all the features at 78k, standard auto at 70k, manual at 61k... (on the road + insurance)... But compromise with lower engine capacity, less power and less 1 cylinder - compare with some 1.3/1.5 cars. On the other hand, u get better FC and smoother drive
with its CVT... CVT gearbox may a bit more costly to maintain compared with 4At.... The choice is your.

I owned a 2102 Mirage GS for 4+ months (bought it with 5k discount), I bought it because of the 'discount', better FC than my old Avanza (about saving of 33% petrol)... and this is my 1st CBU car

Just sharing experience with my Mirage, I think the Attrage should be more or less same as Mirage... Except extra space. I managed to get 230+/-km for every RM30 petrol (RON95) 100% KL/PJ city driving (about 16km/l), outstation driving can get 22-24km/l. I like push start, cool air-con, smooth CVT and felt more solid than my old car. But I don't like the quality of paint and some "gong gong" sound from the back doors on uneven road & sometime happen on normal conditional road (Now, I know CBU from Thailand... Also has some issues).

If you like the Attrage auto model, i would suggest go for the standard model, not the top spec.... Better still, wait for a few months, if u not in the hurry to get it, wait for some discount for 2013 model, maybe u can get 5k or more discount..

Just my opinion, hope it helps.

Good luck finding mazda 2, recent mazda roadshow i asked a SA and he say they are no longer importing mazda 2. Probably you can only find it at some outlet which still have stock.
