Last week I had an opportunity to drive and review a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 as part of the blogger outreach program through DriveShop USA! 
For the first time ever, the Mitsubishi Mirage comes in a compact sedan version, in additional to the familiar hatchback we all know and love! But don’t worry- the features you love about this vehicle are still there- amazing gas mileage at 35 city/ 42 highway, 10 years/100,000 power train warranty, tons of safety features and upgrade options, and the perfect price starting at $13,995! 
The added room that the trunk brings makes this the perfect vehicle for families, but it’s also a fantastic car for commuting around town, road trips, running errands around the city and so much more. Liz, from the blog No Ordinary Liz, test drove the new Mirage a week before I did. I had the chance to ride around with her on some activities we did during that time, and since we’re smack dab in the middle of back to school season, we both kept thinking the same thoughts about this car: this would make a perfect car for the young adult in your life heading off to college! Together, we sat down and brainstormed some awesome reasons why!
First up, it’s spacious. Between the roomy and secure trunk space (12.3 cubic feet of space!) for all of those dorm furnishings and supplies, the amazing gas mileage for those weekend trips home, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 the bill!
In addition to the roominess of the Mirage compact sedan, worried parents can put their minds at ease with all of the safety Mitsubishi has integrated into the Mirage. The G4 comes equipped with safety features like:
- 7 standard airbags
- wide-angle rear view backup camera with assist
- tire pressure monitoring system
- anti-locking breaks with break assist
- active stability control sensors that monitor the grip of each tire
- three point seat belts
- reinforced impact safety evolution (RISE) body utilizing crumple zones that route and absorb energy during high-impact collisions
- hill start assist
- great visibility with less blindspots
In addition, the available display audio with smartphone link offers a smarter and safer way to use your smartphone in the car. This awesome feature supports Apple CarPlay and lets you access music, maps, make phone calls, and send messages through the touchscreen, or with voice command using Siri. The system also supports Android Auto!
The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is compact in size but has been rated best-in-class in turning radius, making it the ultimate car for navigating narrow and busy city streets.
If you’re in the market for a great vehicle for yourself, or the college student in your life, give the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 a try! Special thanks to Mitsubishi and DriveShop for this opportunity.
