    Canada: Big expectations for Mitsubishi’s smallest car (Kelowna Capital News)



    Another mostly favourable Canadian review.

    Interesting trivia:


    • No wonder Mitsu unveiled the car in old Quebec City. Residents of the province buy half of Canada's subcompact cars, despite representing just under one quarter of the country's population.
    • The CVT's 2-stage gearing provides "the world’s highest gear ratio of 7.3"
    • Mitsubishi expects the SE / CVT will be most popular


    And I like his rational take on the issue of power/weight. It's "as quick as it needs to be."

    Pros:

    - interior room decent, despite small size
    - efficient design (good aero)
    - CVT smooth & quiet
    - instrument panel logically laid out
    - controls usable with gloves on
    - 5-speed more fun than the CVT
    - extensive warranty

    Cons:

    - extra cost for the more efficient CVT isn't justified on savings in fuel
    - plenty of hard plastic inside
    - options drive the price up quickly

    Overall:

    Let’s just say that the Mirage is as quick as it needs to be in a vehicle that is inexpensive to buy, to fuel, and with its extensive warranty, to keep on the road.
