 Hello :-) I own a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES CVT w/ Navigation.  I purchased it brand new on July 24, 2015.  I knew I wanted a Mirage after I went with my friend on November 19, 2014 and she purchased her brand new 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES w/ Navigation.  I fell in love with the little car, there is just something endearing about them lol.  Now after 18 months and 13,000 miles I still love it as much as the day I bought it and have had no issues to speak of.  I owned a 2013 Hyundai Elantra before this and wanted something smaller and better on gas.  I looked at the Nissan Versa, Chevy Spark, Honda Fit, Smart ForTwo and Ford Fiesta but none of them could match the MPG, features per dollar, warranty, and optional features.  I did not want a bare bones subcompact, I wanted all the features I could get and that is where the Mirage shines. It gives buyers the option of a basic 5 Speed or a top trim CVT with all kinds of options not found in the class.  My Mirage has basically all the options and accessoried that were available.  Navigation & Back Up Camera Package ($900.00), Chome Package ($225.00), Color Keyed Bodyside Moldings ($155.00), Exterior Appearance Package ($695.00), Park Assist Sensors Front & Rear ($450.00), Cargo Package ($100.00), All Weather Floor & Trunk Mats ($175.00), Mitsubishi Gear Shift Knob ($120.00), Headlight & Tail Light Chrome Trim ($200.00) and more!  As you can see the options on this little car are unreal & even the base trim has PW, PL, PM, A/C, Auto Climate Control, Floor Mats, Keyless Entry, AM/FM/CD & USB & Aux Hook Up & more.  So in my eyes the Mirage was the perfect for me because alot of these customizable features were not available on any of the others and for a top trim model in the other cars it was thousands above my Mirage (I paid $16,500.00 after rebates & loyalty cash).  It has been great on gas averaging  40mpg city, 45-48mpg highway and I can go higher if I try which is kind of fun to see how good on gas you can do while watching the MPG number on the gauge lol.  It has been very reliable with only 1 issue and that was my Navigation System would sometimes lose its signal and Mitsubishi immediately replaced the whole unit under warranty with no fuss and I have had no other issues with it.  Has no trouble starting on really cold mornings and it warms up super fast & these cars have a heat pad wrapped around the internal part in the engine to provide heat quicker to the passengers before the car warms up (can look this up online is where I found it).  The hatch area is surprisingly roomy and deep which is nice so groceries dont roll out when you open the hatch.  I have fit $250.00 worth of marketing in the trun with no problems and was even able to keep the cargo cover on and shut the trunk.  Now if you fold the back seats down it really opens up for you like a mini SUV ready to swallow large items!  Now lets talk about the 1.2 liter 3 cylinder with 74 horsepower (2017 models get a bump to 78 horsepower).  When ai first drove the car it felt a little slow off the line but I quickly adjusted to it and now I dont even notice any difference.  3 cylinders have a unique sound to them when reving which sounds really neat and kind of tuff so its fun to rev the little engine up and the CVT does an amazing job holding the revs right around 3,700 to 4,000 rpm if you are climbing a steep grade say on the interstate (can hold 70 mph no problem).  Even when reving the engine like this it still delivers around 38-39 mpg numbers no problem.  The 5 speed manual is quicker (I drove one) but the CVT is the fuel economy king and I chose it based on that.  The CVT also has idle neutral logic to save fuel when stopped and you will feel it shift into neutral at a stop and when you let off the brake to go you will feel a little bump as it goes back into drive for you (this all happens so quick and does not interfere at all).  One of my favorite features is the Push Button Start and the Keyless Access Buttons on the Drivers Door & Hatch so you dont even have to use your FAST Key Fob to get in the car (just has to be with in like 2 feet of it).  This is a super convenient feature and makes for easy access and it even has a little place above the cup holders that your FAST Key Fob is made to slot into and if in this slot the car will beep when you go to get out to remind you not to forget your keys.  We just had about 5 inches of snow the other day and it had been so cold it all layed on the roads just as deep.  Driving my Mirage in the snow with the factory 14 inch Dunlop Enasave Tires I felt very confident at how well it handled the snow with out sliding or slipping even on hills.  I guess these skinny little tires make it easy to cut through snow because I felt very secure and just took my time.  All and all if you are looking for a cheap new car with a lot of standard features, class leading mpg, great warranty and reliability then the Mirage is a great choice.  Their owners love them.
