Vehicle Highlights
Introduced for 1989, Mitsubishi's subcompact Mirage was a near-twin to the Dodge/Plymouth Colt and Eagle Summit. The lineup started with a VL ("Value Leader") 2-door hatchback, followed by a standard 2-door hatchback and a 4-door notchback sedan. Next up were "EXE Special Edition" versions of both body styles. Sportiest member was the RS hatchback. Standard engine was a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder, rated at 81 horsepower. The VL came only with a 4-speed manual transmission; the RS with a 5-speed manual. All other models had a standard 5-speed and optional 3-speed automatic.
