Introduction

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a crossover with underpinnings based on the bigger Mitsubishi Outlander and features seating for five passengers, contemporary Mitsubishi styling, ample storage and economical transmission and engine. Though it is an agreeable urban runabout, the Sport is outclassed by other small crossovers, which are more fun to drive and more practical. For 2012, it sees a handful of minor enhancements. Highlights include additional sound insulation for models with a continuously variable transmission, a recalibration of said CVT for enhancing acceleration and response and an available rearview camera for the base SE trim. The sloping sides, gently curving roof and smooth front face look striking, but they aren’t without purpose. Special steps were taken during the design process for reducing air friction on all surfaces. Actually, wind tunnel testing helped produce a best in class 0.33 coefficient of drag, meaning increased fuel efficiency and less wind resistance.

See the road in a complete new light. Standard on 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE models, the high intensity discharge headlights employ xenon gas for projecting a beam which spans 80 degrees and is 35 percent brighter as compared to standard HID headlights. The super wide-angle casts light farther into the corners, enabling you to see more of the road, as well as more of the things that standard headlamps may miss. Measuring an impressive 3.2 feet across and 4 feet in length, the available panoramic glass roof is a sight to behold. While most vehicles at present have sunroofs, which only provide front passengers a view, the panoramic glass roof of Outlander Sport breathes moonlight or sunlight into the entire cockpit, providing everyone front row seats to the sky. The retractable electric sunshade allows you to control the adjustable, LED amber colored accent and daylight lighting strikes a new mood for evening drives. The SE trims include an update to these stunning aluminum alloys, adding a stylish touch to the already attractive profile.

For those who infact need more sport in your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, the available Exterior Package provides some cool equipment to get you going. From the front corner extensions, rear diffuser garnish and rear spoiler to the aluminum alloy fuel door and front chrome lower garnish, its Exterior Package puts the Outlander Sport even further out in front of the pack with style. The Outlander Sport’s groundbreaking design attracts attention, while inside, the available Interior Package provides sporty refinement, which is equally inviting. Featuring a piano black overlay, which surrounds a stylish gearshift overlay and the audio system, the package also, includes a leather and aluminum alloy shift knob.

To begin with, the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport starts at a surprisingly reasonable $18,795. It only gets better from there, as the Outlander Sport provides a host of features, which are surprising for its segment, including European styling, seven standard airbags, a groundbreaking handsfree system, which allows you to make calls and play your favorite music without taking your hands off the steering wheel. But with fuel efficiency, which reaches 31 mpg highway, your savings might be the best surprise of all. Entering only its 2nd year of existence, the company’s best selling Outlander sport five-passenger compact crossover gets numerous beneficial in safety and engineering enhancements for 2012 model year. In addition, the state-of-the-art vehicle manufacturing plant of Japanese auto manufacturer situated in Normal, Illinois will soon undergo retooling of the facility to start production of the famous Outlander Sport crossover right here in America.

New For 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport:

• Improved Engine Noise Isolation, which includes:
• Additional insulation to the front fender areas
• Thicker sound insulation in the top of the towel
• The addition of a vibration-absorbing dynamic damper to the engine compartment’s structure
• A change of dashboard pad material
• Recalibration of the CVT (Continuously-Variable Transmission); these include:
• Better acceleration from a standing start
• More linear acceleration
• More natural and direct feeling throttle response
• Quicker throttle tip-in response
• Quicker downshifts of the simulated gear ratios of the CVT in manual shift mode

The Japanese automobile manufacturer has added the all-new model derived from its range topping crossover, the Outlander: The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is little smaller as compared to the famous seven-passenger crossover utility vehicle, however with a more fuel efficient engine, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or five-speed manual gearbox, comfortable accommodations for five and a completely redesigned body. All Sport models will be available in two trim levels for the United States market: the 2WD ES features plentiful standard equipment package along with the choice of either CVT or manual or transmissions, whereas the more upscale, technology equipped SE edition is offered with either 4WD or 2WD and gets continuously variable transmission. The 2012 Sport is a reflection of what happens when the Japanese automaker focuses its design and engineering resources on the mission of creating an expressive, fun, eco-friendlier and affordable.

With its muscular, taut sheetmetal, the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is visually a breed apart from the rest of its small crossover competition. With front fascia inspired by jet fighter air intakes, which adorns Mitsubishi’s revolutionary performance oriented sports sedan, the Lancer Evolution, the Sport offers a dash of spice to an otherwise very humdrum class. However the chiseled bodywork isn’t merely an aesthetic exercise – its tall beltline, rear spoiler and smooth, flowing lines, all of which combine for providing this elegant new model one of the lowest coefficients of drag of any car in its segment.

Superficially, the naming of 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport seems to make sense. This compact sport utility vehicle looks a part of automotive athlete with its Lancer Evolution inspired aggressive, semi crouching stance and front-end styling. Theoretically, it looks promising, as it is loosely based on Mitsubishi Outlander, a crossover sport utility vehicle we have praised in the past for its agile handling. The Outlander Sport is 2 inches lower, as much as 700 pounds lighter and 14 inches shorter, all favorable factors, which should add up to increased performance and agility.

The lighter weight of 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport would be a benefit if it could be had with the larger, more powerful powerplant choices of Outlander, but it only comes with an inline-4 148-horsepower borrowed from Lancer sedan. When it is mated to the CVT, the end result is lackluster acceleration. The handling of Sport will likely be fine for most folks, but those looking for performance which matches Sport’s looks and name will wish for more grip and less body roll during spirited cornering. This Mitsubishi is pretty agreeable, providing a quiet, smooth freeway ride with a fair number of features for relatively short money. Other similarly sized runabouts, like the Mini Cooper Countryman, Nissan Juke and Kia Sportage are more enjoyable to drive, delivering superior handling and performance. If you will be frequently hauling cargo or luggage, more mainstream models such as the Honda CR-V, regular Outlander and Chevrolet Equinox are going to be useful overall and more practical.

In brake testing, the all wheel drive Outlander Sport came to a stop in 123 feet from 60 miles per hour, a good figure for this class.

Special Features and Cockpit Design

The interior of 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport provides little in the way of impressive materials or visual excitement. Luckily, front passengers of average size will likely find a comfortable seating position with plenty of head and legroom, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel for the driver and its well-shaped seats. Taller drivers might be a bit squished. The backseats have little less room, but an average sized adult should be comfortable enough.

Driving Impressions

In spite of its name, the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport provides little in the way of sportiness. Borrowed from the company’s rally heritage and integrated with continuously variable transmission, steering wheel mounted magnesium shift paddles merge the control and thrill of manual shifting with the ease and convenience of an automatic. You can upshift or downshift with a tap of your finger, no rally experience necessary. It looks cool, and stays cool, even if you park your Outlander Sport in direct sunlight. The available Sportronic six-step Continuously Variable Transmission replaces gears with an efficient belt system, which enhances gas mileage and reacts faster, streamlines shifting. The CVT option includes steering wheel mounted magnesium shift paddles so you can enjoy the performance of manual shifts when you are in the mood.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport arrives standard with a 2.0-liter spirited, engine.

It is dent resistant that comes in handy at the cramped mall parking lot. Best of all, the plastic polymer is made from recycled materials.

High tech features; practical hatchback body style; competent handling.

Disadvantages

Lacks telescoping steering wheel; power sapping continuously variable transmission; lackluster interior materials; noisy base engine.

Introduction

2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback builds on the popular and stylish Lancer sedan, providing more versatility with enhanced cargo capacity and rear liftgate. It is a fairly sporty hatchback, but doesn’t deliver when it comes to fuel economy or refinement. For the 2012 Sportback, the performance focused Ralliart variant has been retired. Send the message that you are going places with 18 inch silver alloy wheels, standard on Ralliart and GTS; designed and engineered as much to give you extra grip on the road as they are to attract attention. It is a little bit boxy, an urban sophisticate and a lot sleek with decidedly European flair which looks equally at home driving down Paris’ cobblestone streets or taking it to the limit on the Autobahn as it is hauling your ski equipment and carrying your groceries. With a voluminous cargo hold which is surprisingly roomy for such a compact, sleek package, Sportback is ready for any road you are.

There is no need to limit the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback’s capacity to the cargo hold with Thule Sport Rack Sockets ready for a roof rack, you can keep packing it right up to the roof for your weekend bike trips, ski excursions or whatever your hauling needs happen to be. Extending your cargo space above and beyond means there really isn’t anything your Lancer Sportback can’t take in – or should we say on? Looking good is only one of the advantages to the aerodynamically engineered aluminum hood on Sportback. This is yet another innovation derived from Lancer Evolution. The lightweight aluminum hood on Ralliart reduces vehicle weight and lowers the center of gravity for enhancing fuel efficiency, while the vents help increase airflow through the powertrain compartment for enhancing reliability and power. So looking sporty actually enhances your performance – now that is a true sportscar.

No one will dispute your command of the road when they see the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback coming. One look at its aggressive front end, rounded rear hatch and chiseled lines and it is clear there is a serious driver behind the wheel. Particularly considering that many of design features of Lancer Sportback are actually there for a drive enhancing purpose; take the front bumper and swept forward hood aerodynamically designed and engineered for creating underbody airflow for enhanced fuel economy and more high speed stability. Add details like parabolic foglights, a unique mesh grille and chrome trim, and what you have got is a sportscar with real style.

Besides redesign, North America gained two additional models to the Lancer line in the year 2004 –Ralliart and Sportback. The latter slated in between the high performance Evolution and base model. Both Ralliart and Sportback featured high levels of equipment, based on Australian Lancer VR-X. The primary difference being that these models came equipped with the company’s 2.4 liter 4G69 engine (rated at 119 kW and 220 N·m for Sportback, and 121 kW and 220 N·m for Ralliart), included 16″ alloy wheels, a new, stiffer suspension package which lowered the cars stance by 1 centimeter and enhanced handling, foglamps, a new aerodynamic ground package and front bucket seats borrowed from Mitsubishi Japan’s Evolution GT-A. The Ralliart came equipped with clear rear taillights and a cosmetic rear deck spoiler. The Sportback featured a four-speed INVECS-II automatic transmission with no option for manual transmission, while the Ralliart came with five-speed manual transmission with option for four-speed automatic.

With its trapezoidal grille and inverted-slant nose, which defines the company’s design identity, the sporty 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is a five-door sport hatchback, a body type which is quite famous in Europe. It is offered on versions propelled by 1.8-liter (143PS) or 1.5-liter (109PS) gasoline powerplants or by a 2.0-liter 140PS turbodiesel engine. The Sportback provides an “auto-folding function” that improves luggage compartment convenience via rear seatbacks which can be tipped forward through a lever situated in luggage compartment and adjustable rear floor height.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback uses a new 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged DOHC MIVEC engine which churns out 240PS of power and 343 Nm of torque. It is teamed up with the company’s high efficiency Twin Clutch SST transmission with Active Center Differential for extremely responsive traction and steering through tailoring the amount of torque fed to each wheel to optimally suit driving situations. Also helping to drastically raise the basic performance characteristics of this model over the Lancer base model are two-pot caliper front brakes and a bigger brake master cylinder.

Like other automobile manufacturing companies, Mitsubishi reckons having a little fun in your practical everyday vehicle is a good thing. Based on Lancer Sedan, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback expands on that notion with its hatchback design providing additional cargo space unlike the Sedan. Aggressively designed with available cosmetic updates and chiseled body, it looks as if it came straight from Europe. Unfortunately, there is little actual performance to backup those sporty looks for 2012, as the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive Ralliart variant has been dropped for 2012. What remains is a competent hatchback but not much else. While it handling is superior than average and its features list is fairly comprehensive, it is letdown by unremarkable fuel economy, a sluggish continuously variable transmission (CVT), limited actual cargo capacity and substandard interior materials because of its raked rear window. As such, we think most shoppers will be happier with a competing small hatchback. Compared to models such as the Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf or Subaru Impreza, the Sportback usually comes up short in terms of fuel economy, performance and cargo capacity.

Variants, Body Types and Features

The 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is offered in GT and ES trims.

Standard on base ES include front disc and rear drum brakes, 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, automatic headlights, a height adjustable driver seat, cruise control, full power accessories, a tilt only steering wheel, a 60/40-split rear seat, a four-speaker sound system with an auxiliary audio jack and a CD player and a trip computer.

Opting for GT will get you 18-inch alloy wheels, a more powerful engine, foglamps, four-wheel disc brakes, aero-style bodywork pieces, a sport tuned suspension, automatic climate control, keyless entry/ignition, a leather wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, sport front seats, the Fuse voice activation system, Bluetooth and a six-speaker audio system with a USB/iPod interface.

Many GT features are also offered on the ES as standalone options or as part of combined packages. The Touring package is offered for the GT and includes automatic wipers, a sunroof, leather seats, automatic bi-xenon headlights, a Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker premium surround sound stereo system with satellite radio and an in-dash six-CD changer, a rearview camera in the rearview mirror and heated front seats. Also optional on both trim levels is a navigation system with a rearview camera in the display and digital music storage.

What’s Beneath the Hood of 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback?

Motivation for the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback ES comes from a four-cylinder 2.0 liter engine, which is good for pulsating 148 horsepower with 145 pound feet of torque. Powering the GT is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with maximum output of 168 horsepower with 167 pound feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive system are standard for both powerplants. This transmission features simulated gear ratios which can be operated through GT’s paddle shifters. There is no manual transmission for 2012. The Lancer ES gains an EPA-estimated 32 mpg highway, 24 mpg city and 27 mpg in combined driving, while the GT earns 29 highway, 22 city and 25 in combined driving.

Safety & Reliability

Standard safety features on 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback include full length head curtain airbags, front seat side airbags, stability control and a driver knee airbag. Antilock disc brakes on all four wheels are also standard on the GT and rear drums for ES. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave Lancer Sportback its highest rating of “Good” in both side impact and frontal offset crash testing.

Special Features and Cockpit Design

While the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback’s chiseled exterior lends an air of aggression, its interior materials and design tend to drag down its overall appeal. Standard bucket seats found on Lancer Sportback with plush fabric upholstery are a great starting point for on-road comfort. For a style and support upgrade, GTS adds sports fabric with more position adjustments and side bolsters. For ultimate in comfort and style, add the Touring Package for full leather seats with heated front seats. Make your whole Lancer Sportback experience up a notch with GTS Touring Package, which hat brings a higher level of class to the table. With Touring Package’s High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps which turn on automatically at dusk, heated leather front seats, power sunroof, a 710w Rockford Fosgate audio system with Sirius Satellite radio and rain sensing windshield wipers, you will find yourself enjoying elements of your drive you never even noticed before.

The sharp, European looks of 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback are hiding something big: Space. With maximum cargo capacity of 52.7 cubic feet, it provides plenty of room you require for hauling nearly anything you want. With 60/40 split fold down rear seats, a one touch release lever in the cargo area and a dual level cargo floor that drops for 3 extra inches, the space is adaptable to truly fit whatever your lifestyle requires.

Driving Impressions

The 148 horsepower output of 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback ES makes it just fine for daily commuter but will perhaps disappoint drivers with more spirited leanings. It also offers convenience but like the other members of Lancer family it shares its DNA with Lancer Evolution, meaning serious performance credentials. All-Wheel Control, designed and engineered for Evolution and offered in Sportback Ralliart, uses intelligent active center differential to vary torque transfer from front to rear axles depending on the road condition and the driver’s inputs. Simultaneously, limited slip differentials in the rear and front manage power on slick, rainy or icy surfaces to help keep you on the road.

Bumps and potholes seem to melt away with the rally ready sport tuned suspensions at your 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback’s service. The Lancer family is all about choices and the Lancer Sportback is no different, providing a range of excellent transmissions for guaranteeing a terrific drive which suits your driving style. It comes standard with five-speed manual transmission, while GTS provides a computer controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, which keeps the engine running near its optimum speed. The advanced INVECS-III control system even customizes its responses to your driving habits, enabling it to actually anticipate your every move.

Lengthy warranty; agile handling; spacious cargo area; useful rear liftgate and tailgate design.

Disadvantages

Lacks telescoping steering wheel; plain interior treatment; kid size flimsy, 3rd row seat.

Introduction

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is the company’s entry into the highly competitive small sport utility vehicle segment. With sharp handling and assertive sheet metal, the Outlander is the edgy alternative to typical compact crossover. Enhancements on 2012 Outlander include a standard “Eco” indicator drive lamp and an optional auto-dimming rearview mirror. Its rearview camera system has been changed to one which displays in rearview mirror, and the lineup of trim levels has been whittled from four to three. The eighteen-inch wheels of Outlander enhance its design lines while adding a sleek touch of urban style to its aggressive stance. Brighter as compared to standard headlamps, these auto-leveling HID projector headlamps light up the road on the darkest of nights and add a high-tech sophisticated look. It strikes the perfect combination between function and form. From aggressive front grille to efficient LED taillamps, every last detail was designed with 2 things in mind: the ability to turn heads and an optimal driving experience.

Even the smallest details of 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander demand attention. The LED taillamps illuminate faster as compared to conventional bulbs and use less energy, too. Placed in a unique grid, they add substance and structure to an already stylish exterior.

The Outlander is as good to drive as it is to live with, it can provide up to seven-passenger seating capacity for the school run, or swallow couple of mountain bikes whole, yet its footprint is smaller unlike that of most family wagons. It comes with either two wheel or on demand all-wheel drive, and is so fuel-efficient which even the latter offers returns on a par with those of ordinary family sedan and emission levels are extraordinarily respectable for its size.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is a stylish crossover sport utility vehicle, which seats five. The compact 3rd row is available to allow seven, but the two flip-up seats are as small as they come and suitable only for small children for short periods of time. 11 years after it 1st coined the term crossover, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation revealed its 3rd quintessence of this concept with all-new next gen Mitsubishi Outlander at 2012 International Geneva Auto Show. After a total of more than 950,000 sales for the first 2 generations since June 2001, this midsize all-new crossover is meant to comply with the times – an innovative and strategic premium vehicle, designed and engineered around a versatile international platform and borne of a harmonious balancing of: Low environmental impact, Advanced safety, Comfortable driving, Clever utility and Added convenience.

Similar in size to the present model, the Next Generation 4655mm 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander follows a clear design brief where in true Mitsubishi fashion, key directions were for “engineer’s car” with “Solid – Safe – Simple” shape, combining clean surfaces with substantial look, as previewed in Concept PX-MiEV II and Concept PX-MiEV show cars. Whether its raised beltline, high flanks, strong shouldering, soft-contoured fenders or uncluttered surfaces, the all-new Outlander provides a comforting sense of safety and quiet protection to its passengers – a quality vehicle of substance devoid of cheap styling thrills and engineered for long-haul traveling its groundbreaking powertrain will allow.

Assertive yet understated, the exterior design of 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is further improved by elegant hockey-shaped chromed strips with slim front aerodynamic grille seem to be milled directly from solid brass as if for shielding the 3-diamond logo, in-between the feline look of wrap-around sculptured headlights.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is basically a crossover sport utility vehicle developed and designed by Japanese automobile manufacturing company called Mitsubishi Motors. It was formerly called Mitsubishi Airtrek when it was launched in 2001 in Japan, and was based on Mitsubishi ASX concept introduced at 2001 North American International Auto Show. The Active Sports Crossover (ASX) symbolized the company’s approach to industry wide sport utility vehicle trend for retaining off-road and all-season capabilities provided by four-wheel drive and high ground clearance, while still providing carlike levels of economy, size and emissions.

The Airtrek name was chosen for describing the vehicle’s capability to transport its occupants on adventure-packed journeys in free-as-a-bird manner and was coined from Air and Trek to express the idea of adventure-filled footloose motoring pleasure. The Outlander nameplate that replaced it evoked a feeling of journeying to distant, uncharted lands in search of adventure. It was designed on the GS platform of Mitsubishi, and used several powerplants developed by Volkswagen, PSA Peugeot Citroen and Mitsubishi.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is a pick which shares some of bold styling cues seen in its aggressive sibling, the performance oriented Lancer Evolution sedan. It is considered to be one of the roomiest sport utility vehicles in its segment, when it comes to cargo capacity and provides a choice of all-wheel drive for those who frequently trudge through snow or rain. Ride quality is agreeable and smooth, and all the bases are covered when it comes to available and standard features.

It doesn’t happen too often, but every now and then the name of a car takes a complete different and fortuitous meaning. This recently has happened with the all new 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse enters the last year of its production in the same two, Spyder convertible and coupe, versions. It should be noted that both, Spyder Convertible and Coupe once were the favorites in the sport compact segment. Although, in the past few years a completely new breed of reasonably priced, fun-to-drive convertibles and coupe have entered the market and have actually “eclipsed” the previous favorites.

The problem for the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse starts under the hood. Even when the latest generation Eclipse was in its full-glory in its earlier days, the 4-speed automatic and base 4-cylinder engine of the car was rather average. Nowadays, the aforementioned engine configuration disappoints both in terms of fuel economy and performance. The Eclipse GT powered by 265 bhp powered V6 engine of the car is a better fit for the vanguard styling of car, but that is outclassed. Most of the modern V6 powered Sport Convertibles and Coupes are powered by aren’t 300 hp and a lot better fuel economy.

Some other shortcomings for the car include an undersized backseat, a towering price and lackluster interior quality. The high price of the car might not be an issue here as the dealers will most probably get plethora of cash inducements to gesture around. Even so, we will suggest the customers to give a try to the likes of the Ford Mustang V6, the Chevrolet Camaro V6 and Hyundai Genesis Coupe, before they finalize this one. All the aforementioned models are decent choices for the modern customers. Also, if you want a stunning shaped and impressive fuel economy car the considering the Scion tC and Kia Forte Koup surely will please you.

What’s New for 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse comes with new special-edition “SE” model for this model year flaunting plethora of visual aspect upgrades.

Body Styling and Features:

The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse comes in two different body styles: a 4-passenger coupe and 4-passenger Spyder. The 4-passenger Coupe model is further offered in four different trim levels: GS, SE, GT and GS Sport; but the Eclipse Spyder is available only in GS Sport, SE and GT only.

The standard transmission for the GS trim is a 5-speed manual transmission, though there is an option of a 4-speed automatic transmission. The GS Sport and SE get automatic transmission as standard transmission. The estimated fuel economy for the car with either transmission is of 20 mpg in city and 28 mpg on highway, which comes to a combined fuel economy of 23 mpg.

The Eclipse GT comes with a 3.6 ltr V6 engine capable of generating maximum power of 265 bhp and 262 lbs-feet of maximum. The standard transmission here is a 5-speed automatic. The engine needs premium fuel and the estimated fuel economy with this fuel is of 17 mpg in city and 25 mpg on highways, which comes a combined fuel economy of 20 mpg.

Safety:

The standard safety features for 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder include stability control, four-wheel antilock brakes and front seat side-impact airbags. The Eclipse Coupe on the other hand gets front side curtain airbags, but the Spyder gets more grandiloquent side airbags which even covers the heads of the occupants. The rear seat of the car doesn’t have head restraints.

Verdict:

The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a new car only in terms of its model year, apart from that about each and every aspect of the 2012 Mitsubishi is pretty outdate, and the car just cannot compete with the modern sport convertibles and coupes.

Now, the antilock brakes might be missing from the 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage, but as far as the feature list is concerned, it grows significantly on the 2000 edition of this entry level subcompact. The Mirage is available in two body styles of: Coupes and Sedans, both of which are available in LS and DE trim level. The DE coupe trim gets a 1.5 liter four cylinder engine; while the DE sedan now comes with 113 hp generating 1.8 liter four cylinder engines offered with the LS models. The standard transmission for the vehicle includes a five speed manual transmissions for both the engines. An optional four speed automatic transmission is optional on all the trim levels except for the LS sedan, where it’s standard. The optional equipment for the LS option includes antilock brakes.

The DE trim of 2000 Mitsubishi mirage gets 14 inch wheels instead of 13 inch and at the same time it gets the tilt steering column, which earlier was limited to LE trims only. In terms of equipments the 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage gets power locks and windows and air conditioning as their standard equipments rather than being optional on the DE sedan, and standard equipment here is a CD player. Similarly, the LS sedan trim of Mirage comes loaded with earlier optional alloy wheels and power sunroof.

So seeing all this we would say that the 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage surely is one of the finest subcompact cars that you can get for you. It is manufactured by Mitsubishi motors and in some parts of the world the Mirage is also sold as the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore or Colt.
