Full article: The Truth About the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage

The fact is the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage is an economy car. It is not a high-dollar luxury car. It is not an enthusiast’s gas-sucking performance car. Why criticize it for what it’s not, when it does what it promises so well -- to be an inexpensive, super fuel-efficient subcompact five-door hatchback? Its entry-level price is especially attractive to buyers whose budgets might otherwise limit them to used cars, and its excellent fuel economy keeps it affordable for those with long highway commutes.

That’s the truth.

Her conclusion nails this car, and also manages to get in a dig at reviewers who can't seem to talk about this car in its proper context. 2 thumbs up for that!
