Spoiler alert: he picks the Spark. Just as the LA Times did.
Interestingly, he advises buyers to choose the manual for both, for the fun factor it brings to small, low-powered cars.
Spark ... |
Mirage ...
|
- better styling
- smoother, quieter engine
- better interior, more thoughtful touches (storage, center console)
|
- best fuel economy
- but loud, vibrating engine
- roomy interior
|
Overall:
But whereas the Mirage is content to give you fuel-efficient, basic transportation, Chevy goes the extra mile. Details matter. ... If the Mitsubishi is a Wal-Mart coffee table, then the Chevy is IKEA. Cheap, yes. But without looking like it.
