    Other cheap Mirage comparable cars - FIESTA, ACCENT, MICRA, SPARK, NOTE, ETC.

    There are plenty of other comparable cars models to the Mirage. Why not have a thread on them? No talk of how to service them, leave that to their forums, but we can see how the Mirage stacks up in this market.

    I'll start with accent found: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...4763?undefined

    yes, it's 2010 but the mileage is not too bad


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    here's another car that might be worth serious consideration.

    older again but there are more still and the trend noticed is that our cars are priced much higher in the used market. it might strictly the age or the reputation or a combo of many things.

    i could not resist one more, just to show it's not just cheap accents out there. here's a FIAT! LEATHER SEATS! HIGH CLASS!

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...9032?undefined

    I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A SHOT SO KIND ENTHUSIASTS ALLOW ME A BIT TO PERSUE IT.

    I admit, these goofy little cars have intrigued me since the rental from 2015. It was a dangerous blast to drive! Horrible oversteer in the one I drove, but fast, comfy, fun!! If this car was $2,500 I would not hesitate.

    It's close to me so it would be a mistake not to check it out. who knows?

    I'll take the blue 2010 Accent. I've always liked that bodystyle!

    I wonder why the first one posted has a new subframe??? Are they prone to rust??? That car is ~ 15 minuets from me & around here, salt is cheeper then plowing snow.
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    Yes, it is. So why are the plows also the salt/sanding vehicles? There's no money saved using the same expensive plow trucks.

    Also, I'm amazed the car has a new subframe. I wasn't aware those models would rot out. Maybe this guy never washed his car and he drove behind the plows to feel safe.
