Mitsubishi Mirage GLX vs. GLS


The all-new Mitsubishi Mirage offers 4 variants, these are GLX MT, GLX AT CVT, GLS MT and GLS AT CVT. Some of the buyers are torn between these variants, whether to choose GLX or GLS. Let me give a short list of these variants’ features.

GLX:

GLX headunit 
·   Front power windows (back seat has classic manual roll up windows)
·   Rear Window Defogger
·   High-Mount Stop Lamp - LED-Type (Tailgate-Integrated)
·   Air Conditioner (manual)
·   1.2 Liter 3 In-Line DOHC MIVEC Gasoline (3A92) Engine
·   Electronic type power steering
·   3-Spoke Urethane steering wheel
·   2-DIN Single In-Dash CD / MP3 / Tuner / Aux
Jack / USB port / iPod-ready / Bluetooth Connectivity
·    2  Speakers       
·   14-Inch Steel (with Full Wheel Cover)
·     Black door sash and side mirrors
·     Bench type backseat with 2 headrest

 
 GLS:


·  All power windows
·  High-mount stop lamp - LED-Type (Rear spoiler-integrated)
·   Air conditioner/climate control (automatic)
·   1.2 Liter 3 In-Line DOHC MIVEC Gasoline (3A92) Engine
·    Electronic type power steering
·   3-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
·    Rear spoiler
·    ABS/EBD
·    Dual airbags
·   15-Inch alloy
·    Multi-media system with GPS
·    Keyless Operation System (KOS) push start/stop engine
·   60:40 split backseat with 3 headrest
·   Power side mirrors (adjust only)


For you to be able to determine which variant is suitable for you, first you need to ask yourself these following questions:

· How much is my budget?
· What’s the use of this car for me?
· For how long do I plan to keep this car?
· Do I need these extra features?


By then, you can asses if you need to pay extra to get the higher trim of this car. Well, if you are fond of making modification such as changing rims, putting side skirts and extension, or just planning to make this as a project car, I would suggest you get the GLX variant. GLX can still take you from point A to point B. So, if you think that the features that the higher trim are useless, then this is the perfect car for you.

On the other hand, If you are the type of buyer who doesn't have any budget issues, and would like to have a factory manufactured features, then go for GLS. Having the top-of-the-line variant would save you time and effort from making modifications. Good luck!
