2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 5-speed

2548 Miles

So far so good with the LED lights. Today I got a little bored and took all the carpet, etc out of the trunk. I weighed it quite crudely on my bathroom scale and it came out to just 10.2lbs. A small amount of weight, but I don't think I'll miss the stuff in there. That comes to a 0.48% reduction in weight. I'm leaving the spare in as I may travel out of town this weekend, but I may take it out after for my local driving.

The car seems to wander a little at highway speeds. This may just be the wind blowing my little car, as on windier days it is much worse. A little scary at times, even. I hope it's not a rear axle alignment issue. It doesn't pull to one side or anything. I guess I should get it checked.

Eliminate the wheel alignment as a possibility, of course; but I see reports here that adding a front undertray improves reaction to crosswind gusting.

No idea what it has from the factory.

The lighter you make it, the more it'll be affected by wind gusts.


I need to fill up my Mirage soon. The digital gas gauge is blinking its last E-F segment bar (which means ~4 or 5 L of fuel left in it, if I recall).
