3 cheapest new cars in Canada, 2014: Mirage, Spark, Versa

[MetroMPG]

UPDATE -- Feb. 2014 Nissan has dropped a bombshell in the cheap car segment: the 2015 Micra will start at just $9,998. That's $2000 less than its cheapest competitor. Nissan is cancelling the Versa sedan. More info: 2015 Nissan Micra: photos, specs, fuel economy, reviews at Micra-Forum.com

Currently, only $150 separates the 3 least expensive cars in Canada. The big difference being Mitsu's $500 introductory rebate.

Though check out the standard equipment differences as well: power windows/locks in either the Spark or Versa, and the Mirage's better sound system.

None have AC.

Honestly, I could do fine without AC where I live (small city, eastern Ontario -- we only get 3-4 truly hot & humid weeks each summer), or power windows/locks ...
