    Mirage acceleration times: 0-62 mph / 0-100 km/h and top speed (1.0L & 1.2L engines)

    These figures are for the UK spec cars:

    Engine/Trans 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) Top speed
    1.0L, 5MT manual (Mirage "1") 13.6 seconds 107 mph (172 km/h)
    1.2L, 5MT manual (Mirage "2" and "3") 11.7 seconds 112 mph (180 km/h)
    1.2L, CVT (Mirage "3") 12.8 seconds ?

    Since the manual "3" has the larger, 15 inch wheels than the manual "2", I wonder just how accurate the 11.7 figure is.

    After all, the manual "3" scores slightly lower fuel economy than the manual "2", a reflection partly of the added mass (rotational and static) between the 2 cars. I would have thought that difference would also show up in acceleration times, even if just by a few 10ths of a second.

    On the topic of top speed,

    Mitsubishi says this makes it faster than its competitors which include the VW Up, Suzuki Splash, Toyota Aygo/Yaris, Kia Picanto, Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz, Nissan Micra, Mazda2 and Chevrolet Spark. - source
    UPDATE: figures for the US spec car:

    Engine/Trans 0-60 mph (97 km/h) 0-80 mph (129 km/h) 0-90 mph (145 km/h) Top speed
    1.2L, 5MT manual
    1.2L, CVT
