Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Philippines is available for sale in the following variants:

• Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX 1.2 MT
• Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX 1.2 CVT
• Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS 1.2 CVT

As disappointing as the driver experience, nobody can contest that Mirage is ridiculously cheap! Brand new units start at P735,000, but you can find one at a lower price on Philkotse.com. This pretty much explains why we still see G4 on the road.

We have to admit that when it comes to utility and overall appeal, the hatchback counterpart of Mirage G4 bests the sedan in so many ways. That being said, it is also worth mentioning that the sedan has an incredible price difference of P46, 000. Not everyone also likes to drive a hatchback anyway so the G4 provides an option for such a strange niche when it comes to picking a starting car. We recommend getting the ES trim level over the other variants, should you choose the Mirage as a starter car. The more you drive the sedan, the more you realize that it is really what it is- a starter car. And soon enough, you would feel the need to switch to another car, once you are capable of doing so.

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is a compact sedan that is offered by a reputable Japanese company that is known globally for creating the best hatchbacks such as Montero Sport and Pajero. Being a stablemate to the more popular and ubiquitous Mirage hatchback, we get to see the parallelism between the two cars as they both come in very inexpensive price points. But do they offer the same decent performance?

Looking at the exterior, we see the appeal that the sedan possesses. Sporting a more mature look, the sedan is all about practicality with its longer wheelbase and newly updated and extended rear bumper. It’s a sedan- there really is not much to talk about because people who prefer sedans prefer its basic feel and its simplicity- which is synonymous to Mirage G4.

The interiors are what set the model apart from its yesteryear counterparts; Mirage G4's ES trim level is newly-updated, boasting the 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth and a rearview camera, four-speaker sound system player and a USB port which are all nice additions for its price point. The rock-hard plastics composing the armrests can be a turn-off, but it’s all in a matter of preference.

Exterior

The Mirage G4 features a Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body. The difference between the G4 and the hatchback version of the Mirage is the chrome grille. There are also halogen multi-reflector headlights and fog lights. Those who want to buy this car can choose one of the following colors: Medium Blue Mica, Sundance Gray, and Pyrenese Black.

Interior

The interior layout of this sedan is covered in black, featuring a silver accent on the vents. Meanwhile, the seats are wrapped in fabric and the center console houses a 2-DIN stereo. The interior space is quite spacious, providing a lot of headroom and legroom for passengers.

Safety

To ensure the safety of the driver and passenger, Mitsubishi equipped the sedan with a number of features, including airbags, 3-point seatbelts for both the front and back seats and pretensioners. It also has an anti-lock braking system, brake override system, as well as ISOFIX anchors.

Technology features

The Mirage G4 houses an infotainment system with a 6.75-inch touchscreen, iPod compatibility, USB port, AUX-IN, and Bluetooth connectivity support.

All that being said, looks can often times be deceiving. With the allure that this new model offers, it could not sustain when it comes to driving performance.

The sedan is over two thousand pounds, and has CVT as its transmission. Being powered a by 3-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) system will not be really enough to provide the vehicle the substantial power it needs. So acceleration and driving in general takes extra time and caution. A 0-100KM takes you roughly 12 seconds, all while tolerating the unpleasant engine noise it produces while accelerating. Disappointing.

This is not the only problem that G4 may encounter: braking pedal is jumpy and is overall difficult to control, steering is very slow- and with little handling grip and thin tires, expect a laggy and bumpy ride in just about every slight road imperfections.

Pros

• Outstanding fuel economy
• Affordable price
• Generous warranty coverage

Cons

• Poor acceleration
• Noisy engine
