Overview

The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback segment. With three trims on offer, the 2015 Mirage retails for an MSRP of $13,085 competing directly with the Toyota Yaris, the Honda Fit, and the Chevrolet Spark. Only a 1.2L Inline-3 engine is offered, mated to a CVT. Together, they produce 74 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 11.2 seconds, the Mitsubishi Mirage maintains a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. Mitsuboshi offers the Mirage in 10 stunning colors, with the Sapphire Blue being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

In our opinion, the ES would be a good choice if you're considering the Mirage. It offers the best of what Mitsubishi has to offer for this hatchback.
