My last economy car (prior to my 2017 Mirage) didn't come with A/C, power steering, power windows, power locks, remote key entry, ABS brakes, stability control, traction control, air bags, radio/speakers/antenna, back up camera, cruise control, intermittent wipers (speed controlled wipers), bluetooth, tachometer, 6-way adjustable driver's seat, passenger side mirror, & I may be forgetting a few things here. On top of that, it was 2-door hatch with skinny 12" steel wheels (145SR12). The interior wasn't entirely covered with plastic, however. Much it was just exposed metal that was the same color as the outside of the car.
A 2019 Mirage ES has everything listed in my first sentence! EVERYTHING!!! When someone states they bought a base level Mirage with not much on it, I just chuckle inside. I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh!
I liked my 1990 Ford Festiva, because it was affordable (paid $5300 brand new with no trade), economical (never got below 40 mpg), & reliable (during the 14 years that I owned it, it never had a recall or ever went back to a dealership for anything). Second owner used the car for years beyond me.
I really like my 2017 Mirage ES (manual), but there isn't anything that you could add to this car that would have made me pay more than $10,000 for one (new or used). It's an economy car, & I never lose sight of that. It's meant to be cheap, economical, & hopefully reliable (great warranty erases some fears there).
