What are common issues with the 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage?

Usin’ my boy’s ‘02 Mitsubishi Mirage up smh… mostly from NY. The transmission’s been a real pain! I’ve replaced it twice, still acting up. Brake issues too, abit rusty. And the AC never froze. Guess it’s starin’ above its pay grade. Anyone else dead tired of fixin’ this ol’ ride? Total nightmare, but I gotta keep drivin’ till I can afford better. At least it guzzles gas like a champ. :sleepy: Let’s hear about yours, ey?

I had a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage back when I was living in Ontario, Canada. It was super tight on fuel, but the transmission was another story—felt like it had a mind of its own! Seriously, shifting gears was a total gamble sometimes. Also, those fake woods started peeling way too early. I’ve had better drives in my tiny car history, but it was cool for zipping around town on a budget. Still, if you’re not ready for some quirks, might wanna skip it!

I’ve had this 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage for ages, driving around Nevada. Battery issues are a pain; seems like it loves to die. Also had a weird transmission hiccup not long ago. But hey, it kicks gas pretty well for an oldie! Just gotta keep it running. Anyone else had similar probs?

In Chicago, my '02 Mirage had major alternator issues, plus it flooded easily. But that compact gas mileage was killer! Always check for rust too, real trouble. Also, not a fan of the sketchy AC. Anyone else?

I’ve got a story 'bout my cousin in Canada dealing with a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage. Had to replace the suspension about every year because it kept sagging, and a dropped head gasket wasn’t any fun neither. And don’t get me started on those electrical gremlins! Luckily, once sorted, it runs smooth. Miro lessons learned!
