The EPA has them rated fairly close when it comes to MPG...
The iA has 106hp and a 6-speed manual...so it would probably get the nod in the "fun to drive" category.
What is the real-world price of a new iA? If you want a new Mirage with a manual transmission, you're going to have to buy a "base" model...which already has almost everything you would want anyway (except for cruise control). I'm guessing you could shop around and probably find one right now for $10-11K.
