Why is my car so slow, noisy, tight and uncomfortable. I bought it thinking I had bought the world’s fastest hot hatch. I heard it can go 217 miles an hour with its 1.2 liter 3 cylinder. “The less cylinders the better!” my dad told me! He said it is faster than the fastest ever Ferrari so I am shocked at how slow it is. I know alot about cars and I am very very smart! Please help me! ---

Did you not test drive it first? [quote=“JoshuaTownsend, post:1, topic:127835”] I know alot about cars and I am very very smart! Please help me! [/quote]Then you would know “there is no replacement for displacement”. To get your Mirage to do 217 MPH you would have to take it up to 30,000 feet in a C130 and push it out the ramp. ---

Additionally, its sloppy handling and lack of steering feel doesn’t instill driver confidence particularly when driving through twisty roads. The car’s poor NVH also detracts from it because even at idle the “vibration transmitted to the cabin is significant.” Furthermore, keeping in mind the Mirage is one of the least expensive new cars available today, ---

Why would anyone even read a Motor Trend review of a Mirage is beyond me. All they really care about are expensive performance cars . I gave up on Motor Trend years ago even if the subscription was free. ---

Mitsubishi? What’s astonishing is that Mitsubishi still makes cars. I guess it’s a testament to Japan’s car ecosystem that such a small player with such bad products can survive for such a long time. If Toyota=GM, Honda=Ford, and Nissan=Chrysler, Mitsubishi=American Motors, which died and got swallowed in the 1980s. ---

Mitsubishi makes about a million cars a year, about 20th in the world, 1/10th of what Toyota or VW makes. ---

> [@texases](#): > > Mitsubishi makes about a million cars a year While I wouldn’t even consider buying a Mitsubishi vehicle until they can come up with something other than warmed-over offerings from many years ago, I do have to note that I have seen a pretty substantial increase in “new” Outlanders recently. I am sure that these Mitsu owners are buying those vehicles **solely** because of their bottom-basement pricing, but if the company can accumulate some new customers and some new capital, _perhaps_ they can start offering something other than poorly-disguised designs from the previous decade. 🤔 ---

You have to disable the 3rd cylinder for it to go 217 MPH, otherwise your top speed is 180. ---
