hi and welcome! I also love the look of the Ralliart mirage.
There is a thread in the forum dishing on the Ralliart trim for the mirage, and at some point, someone asks "who is going to buy this?". Well that someone is me. I honestly love the idea of putting an over-the-top sporty trim on a 78 horsepower car. It's silly but fun. I've had this car for six days and it has been nothing but fun to drive. Getting 44 mpg on the way to work doesn't hurt either. I love the mudflaps, I love the decals, I love the leather-wrapped steering wheel, I love kicking it into "sport" mode to get me over that hill...

Thanks! It has been very fun to drive so far. It's about 500-700 pounds/300 kgs lighter than the Hyundai Elantra I've driven for 8 years, so it's very quick around the city...I love taking corners in it.

I wonder how many of these were made?
Post your total price for it would you? Just curious. I saw one of these today at my Mitsu dealer but it was a "Raillart" Outlander Sport and they were asking $30k for it lol. Enjoy your new whip, it's got a nice paint job and the black alloys do look nice in person.
Ralliart trim level seems to match the price of the SE trim level without all the SE trim level features. You are trading features for the Ralliart look (which means nothing performance wise).

Excellent comparable trim levels.
With dealers marking these up a lil these days, it seems financially more worth going for BE or SE trim. To me, the ES trim is like a slap in the face compare to the 2022 and 2021 model years as the difference is just the MSRP.
IMO, 2021 model and beyond is no longer meant to be compared to 2020 and earlier thanks to mild refresh and the fact that it came with the forward collision mitigation being standard (and Lane departure warning being available at BE and above). I predict the lane departure warning being standard in all trim level for the 2024 model year….that if it doesn’t get discontinued.
On a semi off topic note, WB Mitsu has over 15 Mirage in stock. Haven’t seen them reaching double digits since 2021!

I probably overpaid, but I don't know how to haggle. I paid right around 20K for it. I do love the wheels tho!
Welcome! Can we get some pics of the interior? Want to see if there were any major changes.
