Mitsubishi Mirage - A Great City Car

Mirage - Making An Impression

Mitsubishi has a new player in the subcompact market, it is light but it sure has some big ambitions. We all know that there are several big names in the small car arena like Suzuki, Honda and Nissan, and all of them have produced cars that made it big in the auto industry. Suzuki swift alone is one of the most sought after subcompact car, because of its design and performance. However, the odds maybe against Mitsubishi but this have pushed them to resume the production of their new ace - the all new Mitsubishi Mirage.

This particular car has ceased production in 2003 but it made an impression in the market that it managed to build a loyal fan base. This year it made another comeback, and hopefully it will stay as one of the major production cars of Mitsubishi in South East Asia. Basically, it is powered by a 1.2-litre engine (3 cylinders) and it weighs around 870kg. It is built for city driving with less emission and very fuel efficient. Able to run a respectable 4.1L/100 km using an unleaded gasoline and this could be one of its primary selling points that every auto consumer is looking for.  

Suzuki Swift - A Great Compact Mini Car

Suzuki Swift – More Than Just A Compact Mini Car

At first glance, Suzuki Swift looks like a modern day Mini Cooper, because their design is almost identical - especially at side view. Though, the Swift is not your usual compact mini car, it can hold its own on the road. It’s smart-looking, elegant and most of all it’s well-equipped for its price. Driving this car around the city is also affordable, due to its fuel efficiency and unlike any other compact car out there – Suzuki Swift is reliable and won’t rob you on maintenance costs.

When you first test drive a Suzuki Swift, you will notice the high quality interior and solid assembly of this car. The front seats are equipped with sports buckets and firm bolsters. On top of that, it also has a standard issue airbags (driver’s knee, on the front, side and curtain), vehicle stability control and ABS brakes for maximum protection.  However, the rear headroom is a bit tight considering it has an upright roof, but for people with medium-sized frame; 3 passengers can comfortably sit at the rear.
