Mirage - Issues/Problems?

**baludoy** · September 6th, 2017 10:46 AM

ngyacheche! taas pala talaga ng tinakbo agad

**chronicle** · September 6th, 2017 10:51 AM

To name a few quirks

Soft rear suspension
Madali mawala sa alignment pag nalubak
Thin sheet metal (dimple magnet)
Kapag maulan, may surface rust sa rotors.
Some say mabilis mawarp ang rotor pero havent personally experience it in 3 years of owning
Hard to find manual gear oil (75w-80). Casa only sells 75w-85 which im using it now.
Weak AC in summer.

For parts, it is now more easier to find one outside the casa as compared few years back.

Technically, basta pasok sa standard 3 years and/or 100,000km, there shouldn't be an issue sa warranty.

Whether or not it's a Grab or Uber car is a different story. This is a legal gray area as the dealer typically won't be able to supply evidence that the car has been used as a pseudo-PUV. It's all up to the owner or driver to be up-front with it.

ok, so I guess nothing serious...

When my dad was in the taxi business, our cars did more than 300kms per day...

20k in 5 months is only around 150kms/day (26 days)

hmmm, I've seen that "soft suspension" comment before...

Regarding the "thin sheet of metal," have noticed (spec sheet) that the car is lighter that its counterparts... Is it really bad?

The sheet is thinner than a vios. You can simply check it by knocking the panels.
I guess its a tradeoff to have good mileage.
The soft suspension can easily be mitigated by a kyb spring swap.
AC filter only lasts 6 months sa akin. Palit agad as washing it only gives me a month bago mag degrade ulit ang lamig.

Also, add mo na rin. Pms cost.

our mirage g4 glx mt is turning 4yrs this christmas. nasa casa right now since we complained about hard shifting to reverse. they lubricated daw and ngayon pahirapan naman sa 1st/2nd gears so binalik namin ulit. when they brought transmission down, they've reported that clutch disc is already manipis na raw. i'm surprised na considering the car just had 35k PMS, recommendation na nila palitan yung clutch disc.

Experienced All of those

to add:

Weak Steering (Replaced Steering Column)
Weak Starter Assembly/Gears - Grinding sound (Replaced Starter Twice)
Engine Air Filter Assembly looks very cheap and vibrates/makes noise
I got Engine misfire codes couple of times - replaced spark plugs * 60Tk (100k recommended)
Has weird hard starting issues random times (this is confirmed by several owners also) where you have to press the gas pedal to start.
Replaced AC Components (Condenser and Blower Motor)
Mine has a handbrake cable stretch on one side which made it's operation harder as it already presses to the handbrake assembly
Rattling plastics every where
ABS issues even after ABS Sensor recall (random times ABS Activates unecessarily)
