This is some next level rental spec here. Those window switches are legitimately blanks because the windows Do. Not. Open.

WTF is this sorcery...

What is this car?

That’s impressive. I haven’t seen non-opening windows on anything newer than a few really bad 1980s cars.

2 door Yaris? Those switches look a lot like the ones in the Prius C I drive for work

Broken, or fake buttons?

Fake buttons. The ones on the individual doors don’t do anything either.

Mirage sedan.

It was so bad I WISH it was a Yaris. Nope, a Mitsubishi Mirage G4

I’ve rented cars shitty enough to have crank windows over the course of my career, but never non-operating windows. I like to drive with the windows open but you need more than one open to avoid the helicopter effect so a/c it was.

Mirage. I didn’t know they made cars this bad.

It made a Tercel look fast.

At least the didn’t put a child safety lock button on

When even a window crank is too expensive...

Also does it have A/C?

I think something was broken. The Mirage has windy windows on the base, I’m not sure if anyone has looked it up yet but I think they should open

I found the rear window motor on eBay. If the part exists it’s probably in that car. I can’t image a company making a car with fix windows in a passenger area. Seems like a law suit waiting to happen. I’m guessing they are just broken, or maybe the child safety lock is in a real dumb place.

Also Car and driver lists Power Rear window still as a standard feature on the G4 Mirage

Doug DeMuro will pay you, like, at least $5 to review this car.

From what I could find on the Mitsu Canada website the front two should open even on the base model sedan and the hatch

I know you hate it now, but I recently became aware that someone at Dodge decided to re-badge these as a Dodge Attitude in Mexico.

None of the window buttons worked on an y window besides the driver. Trust me, I checked. I mean, this car was shitty enough that it’s possible they all broke in 32k miles, but they were also all blank switches.

Thank god, yes, because I was in Florida.

I wouldn’t put it past Advantage to have ordered them in bulk without working windows or to have disabled them all themselves. I’ve rented a mirage before and the last one wasn’t great but this was appalling.

I’m in another state in a Nissan Frontier now. That’s it’s own level of interesting.

passerby: You okay? What is it?

sg: It’s a Mirage.
