I couldn't live with my self if I bought a 2015 now and then they released a nicer 2017 several months later. Specially with talk of "possible" drive train changes. Urg!
Get and stay healthy it is no joke!

Just something to spoof or rattle the conception that the entire +2014 Mirage line up is slow and under powered.
As much as I'd like to get something like that rally car in video, the cheapest way for Mitsubishi to get faster version would be to fit 4A92 engine, already sold in many countries. It shares roughly 75% of the parts with 3A92 (or 100% if you look from other end ), and rated at 117PS. Even with 74HP 3cyl this car isn't that slow, and 50% power bump will make it lovely. You don't need much if you weight less then 2000lbs!
