I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the OutWay Platform 2 is not compatible with your 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Sedan. With that being said, the only option we carry for a trunk rack option for your vehicle is the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK. The SeaSucker Komodo has the easiest installation process out of any rack we carry on etrailer, and it will hold bikes up to 45 pounds.

A more economic alternative for your 26-pound mountain bike is a roof rack with a roof-mounted bike carrier. For your naked roof 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Sedan, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars involves the same easy installation/removal process as the Komodo. Also, the Monkey Bars has an impressive weight capacity of 150 pounds.

As far as a compatible bike rack with the Monkey Bars, I recommend the Swagman Race Ready Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On # S64705. The Race Ready includes a wheel-mount attaching style that will hold tires between 20-29 inches. Moreover, it will hold a bike that weighs up to 45 pounds. The Race Ready also includes a built-in lock.
