The Mirage recently launched in the UK, so we should expect to see a number of "first drive" reviews like this one in the coming days.

They drove the 1.2L 5-speed manual...
What they liked:
- class-leading efficiency
- comfort
- interior room
- value
- tight turning circle
- perky engine, full of character
- shift quality - more of a joy than a chore
What they didn't like:
- styling from the 90's
- noisy on the highway
- refinement
- bouncy ride
- suspension not up to the task of enthusiastic driving
- uncommunicative steering
Overall:
They say they like the high efficiency and low cost of ownership of the Mirage, but prefer the Kia Picanto's driving manners, styling and longer warranty.
