As your local Mitsubishi dealer, we've got the car you need - the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage. more Choose the Right Style for You The 2024 Mirage is available in two body types. The standard Mirage is a hatchback, but if you prefer a sedan, go for the Mirage G4. Both offer seating for 5 and have enough cargo space for errands and weekend getaways. Both bodies come in multiple trims. The Mirage offers the ES, LE, BE, SE, and Ralliart, while the Mirage G4 comes in the ES, LE, SE, and BE. In either one, you can choose from multiple colors like silver, wine red, sapphire blue, white, red, yellow, graphite gray, and jet black. The standard interior is black fabric. Upgrades include leather interior, chrome finish, and more. Enjoy Efficiency and Technology The Mitsubishi Mirage gets great gas mileage for running errands around town or heading out on a road trip. It gets 36 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 43 mpg on the highway, and 39 combined miles per gallon. The G4 comes close with 35 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 37 mpg combined. Take advantage of the cruise control features for a more comfortable and efficient drive. When you're behind the wheel of your Mirage, connect your phone via Bluetooth and use the 7-inch smartphone-link display for streaming music, navigation, and more. The steering wheel has audio and phone controls so you never have to take your hands off the wheel. You can also connect using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Feel Safe on the Road The Mirage comes standard with a forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian detection to help you avoid accidents out on the road. It also has a rearview camera to help detect obstacles behind you. The Mirage is made with a Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body.

The Mirage comes equipped with dual-stage front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, side curtain airbags, and a driver knee airbag.

Image via Mitsubishi Should you go for that affordable spare part you've just seen online, or go to your nearest Mitsubishi dealer for an OEM part? We'll take you through four benefits of OEM parts and leave the final decision to you. more 1. Quality OEM spare parts are thoroughly checked and tested to comply with the manufacturer's production standards and relevant regulations. They are also made from high-quality materials according to correct design specifications and tolerances to ensure perfect fit and performance. This is why they are delivered with a full warranty in case they prematurely fail or aren't manufactured properly. On the other hand, the quality of aftermarket parts differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. To keep costs down, some manufacturers build parts that just meet the minimum standards and others design parts differently to try to achieve the same effect offered by OEM spare parts. 2. Compatibility One problem we've seen with some aftermarket parts is that they don't fit quite right. This is because they are generally made to suit as many vehicles as possible, leading to maddening annoyances such as panels not aligning properly or windshield wipers making too much noise. In contrast, OEM spare parts are engineered specifically for your exact car make and model using precise specs. These parts have realistic tolerances, so you or your mechanic won't have to worry about drilling, sanding, grinding, or bending something just to get it to line up right. 3. Performance When you use aftermarket parts, you are using something your Mitsubishi was not originally designed for. Therefore, it may perform quite differently from what you're used to, and in some cases, the performance could go down. One item we recommend going for OEM is spark plugs because engines can be quite choosy about what they work with. While older engines could just use whatever plug as long as it was the right size, modern engines are more complex because of things like direct injection and precise timing. Electrical parts are also another area where OEM shines, since aftermarket parts may have resistances and voltages that differ with factory-installed stuff. 4. Long-Term Cost The affordability of aftermarket parts may seem like a small win in the short term, but this value may not be as great in the long term. The unreliable quality and poor fit of some non-OEM spare parts can cause them to wear down fairly quickly, requiring you to replace them sooner. These parts can also affect other areas of your vehicle that are costlier to repair or replace. Fitting your Mitsubishi with OEM spare parts is the best way to keep it running as good as new. Contact Rath Mitsubishi in Springdale, AR for quality OEM spare parts. We have a large selection of parts to keep your car in great shape.

Keeping your Mitsubishi in peak condition is essential for its performance, longevity, and safety. One of the most important aspects of this is getting a regular oil change. We'll guide you through the recommended intervals for changing your Mitsubishi's oil and discuss other factors that may influence how frequently you'll need this service at your local Mitsubishi dealer. more Mitsubishi Dealer Insights: Understanding Oil Change Intervals The general recommendation for Mitsubishi vehicles is to get the fluid changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles if you're using synthetic oil, which is common in newer models. However, if your car runs on conventional oil, the intervals shorten to every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Following these recommended intervals will help ensure your vehicle operates efficiently while avoiding unnecessary damage to the engine or wear to the engine's components. Factors Influencing Lubricant Renewal Frequency Vehicle Usage The conditions in which you drive your car and how you use your car can both impact how regularly you should get your car's oil serviced. For example, frequent short trips, heavy towing, off-roading, or extensive idling can introduce contaminants into your oil more quickly, requiring more frequent lubricant renewal. Vehicle Age The age of your car has a big impact on how often you'll need to get this service done. Older models may not run as efficiently as newer models, requiring more frequent changes. This is because, over time, engine components can wear down, leading to a decrease in performance and contaminants more quickly entering the fluid. The Type of Oil in Your Mitsubishi Selecting the right type of oil is crucial for keeping your Mitsubishi performing as it should. Mitsubishis run best when you use the manufacturer-recommended oil type, which is typically synthetic or a synthetic blend. These offer superior protection and performance for most Mitsubishi vehicles, compared to conventional oil. Professional or At-Home Fluid Change Services While some vehicle owners choose to change their oil, getting it changed by a professional ensures that your vehicle not only receives fresh oil but also a thorough check-up. This may include inspecting your oil filters and diagnosing potential issues with your vehicle early, helping to ensure your car remains efficient and reliable. Regular Maintenance Beyond lubricant replacement, regular maintenance of your Mitsubishi is crucial for its overall health. This includes routine checks of the brake system, tire pressure, and fluid levels, among others. Additionally, your oil levels should be checked at least once per month. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems down the line. Is it time for your next fluid change? If so, head over to Rath Mitsubishi in Springdale, AZ today, and we'll help get your car back in prime condition.

Image via Shutterstock Keeping your Mitsubishi's tires in peak condition isn't just about maintaining a smooth ride. It's important for safety on the road. Here's a closer look at telltale signs you might need new tires from the Mitsubishi dealer. Check on Your Tread Depth The easiest way to know if your tires are due for a change is to check the tread depth. Tires have built-in indicators that can give you a clue, but you can also test with a handy trick called the penny test. Simply insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you can see the top of his head, your tread is too worn, and it's time for a new set of tires. Watch Out for Uneven Wear If your tires are wearing unevenly, it could be a sign of bigger issues, like alignment or suspension problems, or it might just mean you've skipped a few tire rotations. Uneven wear compromises your car's grip on the road and can cause one tire to wear out before the others, so don't ignore it. Cracks and Bulges are Red Flags Take a moment to inspect the sidewalls of your tires. Cracks, bulges, or gashes are serious red flags. These flaws can lead to sudden tire failures, like blowouts, especially when you're driving at high speeds. Vibrations and Noise Feeling unusual vibrations or hearing noise while driving on a smooth road? It might be your tires telling you something. While these symptoms can also point to alignment or suspension issues, they're often related to tire problems like imbalance or internal damage. Tire Pressure Warnings Constantly inflating your tires? You might have a slow leak. Regularly check your tires for any punctures or signs of damage. Sometimes, a simple repair will do, but significant damage will require a tire replacement. The Age Factor Tires age, even if they look okay. The common recommendation is to replace your tires every six years, even if they seem good. Rubber breaks down over time, affecting both performance and safety. Check your tire's manufacture date, a four-digit code on the sidewall, to see if it's time for a change. Seasonal Considerations Lastly, consider the season and the conditions you drive in. If the weather drops below freezing, switching to winter tires or all-season tires can greatly improve your safety. Winter tires wear down quickly on warm roads, though, so switch them out when the season changes. Shop for New Tires at Your Mitsubishi Dealer If you're ever in doubt about your tires' condition, a quick trip to the dealership can give you peace of mind or a much-needed upgrade. Our trained professionals can help you choose the perfect tires for your ride and get them on your car in no time. Worn-out tires pose a serious safety hazard, so never ignore signs that something isn't quite right with them. Call Rath Mitsubushi in Springdale, AR to schedule your tire inspection today.

Image via Shutterstock Your Mitsubishi's ignition coil plays a crucial role in starting your car's engine. It converts the battery's low current into enough power to ignite the fuel. A faulty ignition coil will cause various vehicle problems, from a loss of power and high fuel consumption to rough idling and stalling issues. Your Mitsubishi dealer has provided a list of symptoms below to help you identify ignition coil problems and get the necessary repairs before causing extensive damage. more Unresponsiveness If you experience a decrease in power when you press the accelerator, a malfunctioning ignition coil could be the cause. When the fuel-air mixture inside the engine doesn't ignite effectively, it can cause your vehicle to respond sluggishly. Vibrations and Rough Idling A failing ignition coil can disrupt the smooth operation of your vehicle. When the coil doesn't work correctly, your car may experience vibrations, rough idling, and sudden jerks when you accelerate to increase your speed. Misfires When one of the cylinders isn't firing properly or doesn't fire, it can lead to misfiring. The result is smoke from your tailpipe, a gas smell, and loud banging noises from the unused gas exploding in the combustion cylinders. Misfiring can significantly damage engine components and the catalytic converter, resulting in high repair costs. Unfamiliar Sounds In addition to loud banging noises, you may also hear coughing or spluttering noises when you start the engine. These sounds are generally due to a cylinder not firing during the ignition process. Stalling If your car's ignition coil starts to fail, it may cause the spark plugs to spark irregularly. As a result, you may experience stalling issues when idling, or your vehicle may even shut down abruptly without any warning. Hard Starts When you turn the key in the ignition, a clicking sound may indicate a problem with the ignition coil, making it hard to start your vehicle. Your vehicle's ignition system requires a spark to start the engine. If the ignition coil is faulty, it may not provide the proper voltage to the spark plugs, resulting in hard starts. High Fuel Consumption If your car's fuel consumption has increased lately, the ignition coil may be the culprit. When the spark plugs do not receive enough power from the car battery, your car will burn more fuel to compensate for it. The result is more frequent trips to the gas station. Illuminated Check Engine Light Problems with the ignition coil will cause hard starts and misfiring, triggering the check engine light on your dashboard. When the light is on, schedule an appointment as soon as possible for a diagnostic test and the necessary repairs to prevent severe damage. Don't struggle with misfires, stalling, hard starts, and poor gas mileage. If you have ignition coil problems, call Rath Mitsubishi today.
