The 2014 Mirage suffers from a soft suspension with a lot of body roll and tire squeal, along with a dead spot in the center of the electric power steering that can find the car drifting toward the edges of the lane with no feedback to the driver. The front seats are comfortable, but the seat cushions are short the rear seat will fit two adults, but while Mitsubishi calls this a five-passenger car, the rear seat will only fit three if they're exceptionally skinny teens or younger. Upholstery is simple black cloth with a subtle purple check (it's not as bad as it sounds). The materials inside are inexpensive, but Mitsubishi has crafted a straightforward dashboard that doesn't really betray its hard-plastic surfaces. The rest of the car's design is generic small hatchback, perhaps with a hint of last-generation Nissan Versa at the rear.

There's a reason for the bland, characterless front end: aerodynamics, meaning that the rounded nose smooths the little car's path through the air and uses less fuel to do it.
Looking at the Mirage, about the best you can say is that its design is inoffensive. At highway speeds, though, there's very little margin indeed for acceleration or passing, regardless of which transmission you choose.

A five-speed manual transmission is also offered-for $1,000 less-but it reduces the gas mileage to 37 mpg combined. Paired with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), its performance away from stoplights and around town is fine if you work it hard. With a 74-horsepower 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, the Mirage is neither fast nor powerful. That fuel economy comes at a cost, though. One of the main selling points, though, is its rated fuel economy: At 40 mpg combined, the new Mirage has the highest EPA gas-mileage rating of any non-hybrid gasoline car sold. With the Mirage base-priced at less than $13,000 (before the mandatory delivery fee), Mitsubishi is targeting first-time buyers and those on very limited budgets. and in Canada (where it competes with not only the Spark but also the Nissan Micra, a five-door minicar not sold in the U.S.). The Mirage name was last seen in North America as a new car way back in 2002. Compared with its closest rival, the Chevy Spark, the Mirage is more fuel-efficient, but the Spark has more space, and it's a more rewarding car to drive. The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the smallest cars offered for sale in the U.S., and it's one of the most rudimentary ones too.
