UK: Mirage - Steve Sharpe drives Mitsubishi’s latest hatchback (sunderlandecho.com)

[MetroMPG]

A balanced review... including one of the rare compliments on the car's exterior styling. As rare as the mythical unicorn, almost!

Likes:

- sprightly character: peppy acceleration, "lively through the gears"
- good fuel economy
- surprisingly comfortable seats, even on longer runs
- decent rear seat space
- well equipped for the price
- "cool" styling

Dislikes:

- lots of body lean in hard cornering
- not the best steering feel
- light vehicle means it gets buffetted by strong winds
- not happiest at UK motorway speeds
- road noise
- interior plastics

Overall:

The reviewer deems the new Mirage a worthy successor to the outgoing Colt:

The Mirage is up against some strong opposition but it’s a likeable, easy to drive car that’s well-equipped, looks cool and is economical, ticking quite a few boxes as it goes.
