    A month ago I purchased my 2019 GT brand new for $14,188 out the door with taxes and fees.

    Good price. White is the best color to deflect heat and clean IMO.

    That's a great deal on a GT - congrats.

    Yeah, my last car was black and I hated it. It looked terrible from the salt on the roads several months out of the year and was unbearable to get into in the summer.

    I don't know if it's the same elsewhere, but prices on the Mirage seem much higher this year, apparently because Mitsubishi's rebates are incredibly low. Where I live (the DC metro area), they're only offering a $500 rebate! Two years ago you could get an SE for $13,000 easily, but this year most dealerships are pricing them up around $15,000. That seems a little nutty to me.

    The Mirage needs to be affordable, reliable, & economical. Eliminate any of those three items & the car loses its appeal. Most people are going to turn to something else. That may explain Chevy Spark sales are up 62% in another thread discussion?

    I paid a little extra for my Mirage because it included features that I wanted. It came with cruise control. I don't have to figure out how to enable it in ETACS using dodgy software, nor do I have to source the requisite switches or harnesses. It has automatic climate control, which I value. It has the keyless F.A.S.T system with pushbutton start, which I think is great.

    These features takes what is a basic economy car and brings it into modern times. For those who don't value those items, good for you. I think these features help make the Mirage competitive in a market where everyone else offers them to those who want them.

    In a way, that's possibly a good sign. By that I mean a good sign for the car, though a slightly worse sign for buyers looking for a screaming deal.

    Supply & demand, right? High factory discounts indicate over-supply or falling demand. The fact that the Mirage's U.S. sales have been slightly increasing each year, while other manufacturers are cancelling their entry level economy cars tells us Mitsubishi is comfortable with low incentives to keep the metal moving.

    There will always be a core group of buyers who value the idea of uncomplicated, small, efficient, affordable cars. With the cancellation of so many other options, maybe Mirage & Spark sales are benefitting. Thus the low rebates.

    Personally, I place zero value on pushbutton start & automatic climate controls. If people value those things, there's the justification for upper trim levels.

    The Mirage presently comes in 5 TRIM LEVELS, and a person should be able to buy a basic Mirage. Each year more features become standard for all trim levels. Which trim level is impacted by that?

    A 2020 Mirage ES (base level) is going to have most items your upper trim level has now. What's lacking? Alloy wheels & push button start maybe? If they don't change the Mirage in 2021, they will probably add push button start as standard. It would follow what has been going on. Push button start just makes stealing a car easier, but who steals Mirages?

    I heard an individual recommend not using your F.A.S.T. system to lock your car in a large parking area, because it's code can be scanned with the proper equipment. A new blank can then be instantly programmed for your car. I am not saying these features are horrible. They just don't impress me! I learned to let out a clutch & drive on a 1948 Farmall H tractor when I was about 9 years old. That tractor is still in the family, & it has push button start!

    I really ask the question, where is the need for 5 trim levels if this trend continues? I do not understand Mitsubishi logic in the marketing of the Mirage. I am not knocking the Mirage itself.

    I could live without traction control, TPMS, ABS brakes, & rear back up camera. Since some of those items are mandated, they aren't going away. I get that!

    My point is this - If you are going to offer 5 trim levels of a vehicle, a true base model should exist. If not, go back to 2 or 3 trim levels & offer a manual/CVT option for each.

    I wonder why Mitsubishi chose to price the car as they did, with basically constant $2k-$4k rebates for years. The MSRP suggested it competing against cars which were obviously more upscale, while everyone was actually buying them for awesome prices. I wonder if the car would have gotten more positive reviews from the professionals if they took the real price into account.

    The dealer I bought mine from is still offering $3k-$4k discounts on everything.
