Personalize Your Mitsubishi Interior for Comfort in Six Upgrades
Whether you drive a car like Mirage on the daily commute, a truck like Mighty Max to and from the jobsite, an SUV like Outlander off the beaten path, or otherwise, as rides for the long haul go, your Mitsubishi is ideal. The center of any trip: its interior. Sure, it's one comfortable enough fresh off the lot, but did you know that it can be personalized just the way you like it anyway?
You've got plenty of options, too. Here are six great places to start modding.
Six Ways to Enhance Your Mitsubishi Interior for Comfort
1. Upgrade the Seats
Say you drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse. A six-way power drivers seat comes standard in the 2012 model, for example, but it's basic cloth, and the rear seats have been said by reviewers like Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com to be a little tight. You can solve both problems easily by going the way of the final year's sought-after options -- namely, by trading up to leather seats and choosing heated versions for those up front.
2. Add Seat Covers
Drive a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport? The 2024 model -- the base 2.0 S trim, for instance -- has fabric seats. If you're not looking to shell out for a leather seat upgrade (or would prefer a different feel), putting in a set of seat covers is the next best thing; choices range widely, from breathable mesh and softer velour or jacquard to leather, faux (PU) leather or leatherette, sheepskin, and even acrylic fur.
3. Put on a Steering Wheel Cover
If you're the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Lancer, you know it as one adrenalized thrill-ride; you'd cruise the highways all day if you could. That, however, can get a little tiring on your hands and wrists, and worse, the sun's rays can seriously heat the steering wheel up during warmer weather. A cover -- one made of, say, genuine, faux, or microfiber leather, faux wool, or otherwise, with a soft, more pleasant texture, or even with an anti-slip grip and pads for enhanced ergonomics -- can help keep your steering wheel more comfortable to handle. One can even have the bonus of helping prevent steering-wheel wear over time, not to mention of adding a touch of unique style to your cabin.
4. Customize the Pedals
If you're behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Mirage G4, it's a great city car; much of your time's likely spent heading between home and the office in it, running errands, and so on. With all the movement between gas and brake and even clutch pedals all day, that can make for a tired foot at the end of one. You can get a bit of relief by way of modifying the pedals in a few easy ways. For one, swap any manual transmission you have for an automatic; for that, there are pedal conversion kits (to get rid of the clutch). Second, install custom or billet pedals of a construction and in a finish and texture you prefer (e.g., smooth aluminum), and third, put non-skid rubber covers on the pedals.
5. Install Sunshades
An SUV like Mitsubishi Montero Sport is going to heat up through a hot, humid summer; it doesn't matter where you're parked. Window tint doesn't do much, either -- where it's even legal. A sunshade installed above each door and window, and even on the sunroof or moonroof, if you have one, can cut temps on your interior down dramatically, making for more comfortable arm rests and seats and, say, a steering wheel surface that doesn't burn you when you touch it. They can even help reduce UV glare.
6. Mod the Electronics
A lot of Mitsubishi 3000GT drivers may still have electronics that haven't been updated since the car went out of production in the 1990s. The car's a speed-demon, too; for sport driving, it deserves the next best thing to improved comfort -- the entertainment to make the ride more enjoyable. Fortunately, infotainment and premium audio systems can be pretty straightforward to upgrade, provided you've got the right skillset. (Of course, if you need help, there's always the pros at a Mitsubishi service center.
