That's one of the most detailed reviews of the Mirage I've read so far.
Here's what I don't get: one of THE most frequent criticisms of the car is its too-soft suspension. I accept that the car is engineered for a compliant ride on rougher roads in some developing markets. But we're reading this complaint from UK, Australia, NZ - and even from reviewers in the so-called "developing" countries!
Surely they could sort this out for some markets with a different set of springs/anti-roll bars. It would hardly affect the overall cost.
And two bits of trivia I learned from this review:
1) The entry level car (1.0L 5MT Mirage "1") is only available in white! Seriously?
2) Mitsubishi expects the Mirage 1 will only be ~5% of overall sales.
