SUGAR had a pawsome time riding in 2015 ‘Plasma Purple’ Mitsubishi Mirage RF. The Mitsubishi Mirage is a 5-door hatchback subcompact car, a reasonably priced car with great gas mileage.
Mitsubishi provided Golden Woofs a 2015 Mirage RF to test drive in exchange for sharing experience about the vehicle. Golden Woofs only shares information we feel is relevant and useful to our readers.
5 Reasons to Consider a Subcompact Car: Mitsubishi Mirage RF
1. Affordable – The Mitsubishi Mirage RF is one of the most affordable cars on the market. For 2015, it was ranked as the third lowest-priced car. The Mirage RF is an excellent starter car for a first-time driver.
2. Fuel Economy – As a subcompact car, the Mirage provided great gas mileage, 34/42 mpg. We drove ~112 miles and still have more than half a tank of fuel.
3. Safety – The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage RF is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS) / Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), active stability control plus seven airbags (front, front-side, driver-knee and full-length side-curtain). From a crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Mirage received the highest rating of Good in four of the five categories.
4. Space – For a subcompact car, the cargo space is good and can accommodate two large luggage. However, space at the back seat is a bit tight.
5. Sound System – Surprisingly, the Mirage is equipped with Rockford Fosgate, a leader in car stereo speakers.
The Mitsubishi Mirage RF is a cute small car and was FUN to drive. The brakes are noticeably strong. Driving on the highway was good, and the soft suspension made the long commute comfortable.
We took the 2015 Mirage RF Plasma Purple to Sleepypod headquarters in Pasadena, California. The car blended well in the neighborhood.
The color of the car, Plasma Purple is unique and very noticeable. It struck many funny and inquisitive conversations. On the day we had the Mirage Plasma Purple, it was Red Nose Day – pawfect day to have extra fun!
The Mitsubishi Mirage is also available in black, silver, gray, and fun colors infrared, kiwi green, and sapphire blue. For more information about Mitsubishi Mirage visit mitsubishicars.com/mirage. Visit your local Mitsubishi dealership to test drive. Make sure to call the dealership, if you plan to take your dog.
Lots of Golden Thanks to Mitsubishi for allowing us to test drive the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage RF. Sugar, Dog Friendly Car Reviewer
