The Mitsubishi Mirage is the Car Pizza Delivery Drivers Trust
This year (2023), the Mitsubishi Mirage became the most affordable car in America. The Mirage has been through a lot, but in 2023, Mitsubishi canceled the Mirage, making 2023 the last model year despite its popularity. In 2021, Mitsubishi survived the semiconductor chip shortage with the Mirage, many consumers find the Mitsubishi Mirage more reliable than other vehicles, and it even won the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage with the 2020 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America award. The Mirage is so reliable that it also makes up the fleet of Tobin’s Pizza delivery drivers in McLean County, Illinois. Voted the best pizza in the county, a fleet of reliable, economical, affordable delivery vehicles is the way to go.
“When I first learned of Tobin’s Pizza, and met Moe Davis, back in 2010, I initially had his fleet using the then-new Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle we’d just started selling…After production stopped on the i-MiEV, it was an easy swap to get the Tobin’s team into Mirages, and it’s just been that way ever since. From the first car we delivered to Moe back in 2010 to today, we’ve helped him into more than 200 Mitsubishis, and they’ve been perfect for their delivery routes.” – Ryan Gremore, owner of O’Brien Mitsubishi in Normal, Illinois
Delivering more than 60,000 pies a year, Tobin’s Pizza is pretty popular. For more than ten years, owner Moe Davis has trusted his business with Mitsubishi Motors and has exclusively worked with Gremore to provide his delivery drivers with a fleet of over 200 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles every year. An easy choice, known as the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid gasoline-fueled vehicle sold in the U.S. today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also backs the Mirage. Although being discontinued, the Mirage is one of the least-expensive new vehicles sold today. Mitsubishi Motors’ enviable 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty also makes it a great pick for drivers who will put a lot of miles on the car.
In 2023, the Mirage gets a couple of updates before taking its final bow. Adding some more style and upgraded technology, the 2023 model year comes with advanced safety features, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility, enhanced safety, versatility, and value. Still powered by a 1.2-liter DOHC engine optimized by Mitsubishi Motors’ own variable valve timing system (MIVEC) for better performance, the engine is capable of generating 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. Delivering a fuel economy of 36 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway, it truly is the most fuel-efficient vehicle powered by gasoline on the market.
LED taillights are a lineup standard, plus LED headlights past the base trim. Past the base, upholstery is also comfortable, made up of a combination of fabric and synthetic leather. The special “Black Edition” is still available, sporting a blacked-out appearance with black wheel locks and lug nuts, a black roof spoiler, black side mirrors, and the “Black Edition” badge. With a starting MSRP of $16,245 (plus destination fee), it’s a great deal.
