The Mirage is so bad, it shouldn't even be sold in the US. It's 3rd world material. It's the worst car sold in the US. Not nearly worth it's low price. Mitsubishi is on it's way to dying. They can no longer compete. You could get a far better Nissan Versa for nearly the same price.

I'm not a fan of the styling, but Nissan must be doing something right, considering how many Versa's they sell monthly in the USA compared to other available subcompacts.

While it might be Spartan, it's also selling well for Mitsubishi. And while Mitsu sales are pretty low compared to other automakers, I don't see them leaving the U.S.

I don't get the hate for the Mirage. It is what is. It's similar to a Ford Festiva and Geo Metro from the 90s. Both of those cars were good cars. My first new car was a 91 Ford Festiva. All Mazda made and put together by an unknown company called Kia. Then shipped over to the US for sale. The car was bulletproof. I still see them and a few Metros on the road 25 yrs later. And brand new they were around $5k. That's pretty good that they are still kicking ass 25 yrs later. So I appreciate the Mirage for the simplicity that it offers. Nothing wrong with that at all.
