Hello all,

Currently drive a 2017 Fit EX manual, it's got good features but I don't like the engine (no response), clutch has no feeling, and while Honda makes nice shifters, I'm also not fond of the shifter feel.

I'm also leasing it, and over-mileage, so I consider the Mirage a nice way to absorb the negative equity (low selling price).

The Mirage has a more mechanical feel, and indeed it is. Has a cable clutch, and the timing chain also seems bulletproof. I like how slow the vehicle is, forces you to drive relaxed and not be anxious to get to your destination.

I also like the key blade ignition, smooth steering and soft ride. My father, and EVERYBODY else told me not to get this car. One thing they mentioned: if Mitsubishi goes bust, is the warranty still valid? If not, how is parts/maintenance on these?

How would you guys compare the 2 vehicles? Am I crazy for going from Fit to Mirage?
