U.S. video review: First look - 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (Motorweek.org YouTube)

[MetroMPG]

Motorweek's Greg Carloss shares his first impressions after spending a day driving the Mirage around Quebec City:

Notable:

• "Enthusiasts may cringe at the thought, but not all cars are made with them in mind."
• The Mirage "thrived" in this confined urban setting.
• 74 horsepower? "That's all you need in the city"
• On the car's EPA combined rating of 40 MPG (for the CVT): "I've been driving this around the city all day, and the readout has been consistent around 40."

Hey, we're mostly enthusiasts on this site ain't we? I must admit though, the Jeremy Clarkson-type enthusiasts greatly outnumber us James May-types.

Agreed 100%. (Someone should add that comment on YouTube!)

I also consider the Mirage to be a 'performance' car. It performs well above average at the task it was designed for.

(I can hear Clarkson's guffaw at that one...)
