Personally I think that even with clean lines the styling is dated by at least 5 years and the price unless the tech inside warrants better should be dropped by a few grand. About the only thing that I really care for of the exterior is the front bumper cover. I like the somewhat toned down upper grille hole.

Nice color, but its "face" looks like a fish!

So why would anyone buy a Mitsubishi Mirage? Because it is dirt-freaking-cheap. The Mirage DE costs $13,790 ($12,995 plus a mandatory $795 destination fee) and includes power windows, mirrors and locks, a 4-speaker stereo with a USB port, seven airbags (including one for the driver's knees), piano-black trim, and -- get this -- not just air conditioning, but automatic climate control. |

Liked the Ford Festivas we had with the 1.3 ltr. ( Mazda 121 ) , tough engines . Seen it with a friend who had an '88 , took a lot of abuse for 150,000+ miles . Didn't change the factory fill oil until 30,000+ miles . Not sure an aluminum block could endure that , had the cast iron . Here's the window sticker for the Mirage ES ( use ZOOM to see print better ) . You never pay sticker . Should be able to buy it for less than $16,000 . Wish the hatchbacks would have the airbag for rear impact like that of the Scion IQ to protect passengers in back seat . Not much space between rear seat and hatch door . I agree with KIMONA that you get a lot for money . Can't go wrong with a 10 yr. / 100,000 mile powertrain .

Found this review from AUTOGUIDE for the C.V.T. and manual , http://www.autoguide.com/manufacture...view-3502.html . Not liked for the ride and comfort , but neither was the 2012 Yaris by Consumer Reports .

Sure... but the CVT gets significantly better gas mileage (generally one of the main reasons to buy an econobox) than the manual transmission (which doesn't sound too impressive). And... it looks like the CVT can be added (+$1000) to the base model DE which comes surprisingly well equipped.
