Overview
The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback. With 2 trims on offer, the Mitsubishi Mirage has a base MSRP of $13,805, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $16,005, competing directly with the Chevrolet Spark, the Nissan Versa Note, and the Mazda 2. Only a 1.2L inline-3 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission with an optional continuously variable transmission. Together, they produce 74 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 12.1 seconds, the Mirage maintains a combined fuel economy of 37 MPG on the manual transmission and 40 MPG on the CVT. Mitsubishi offers the Mirage in 8 stunning colors, with the plasma purple being a particular favorite of ours.
Buying Advice
We believe the top-level ES trim is the best choice to go for, as it adds keyless ignition, cruise control, fog lights, a height-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a few more significant features. We also suggest you go for the Navigation package that adds a navigation system and a rearview camera for improved safety and convenience.
