    2018 Micra (in gray) joining our 2018 Mirage (in identical gray)

    Pulled the trigger today. Done deal.

    Thanks for the advice everybody. Will get some pictures up later. Going to be in financing for a few days, guess a couple of their systems are down. I'll post a photo once its official, possibly early next week.

    Me too. Especially fuel economy and cargo space comparison.

    Car is, in all honesty, pretty damned ugly, especially when compared to the Mirage, but it might shine up once I spend a day on it.

    Mirage photographed immediately after wet sand, polish, wax and buff in summer. Micra photo taken caked in sand and salt, paint not yet corrected, on a very cloudy day.

    Once the car comes home I'll do a legit photo of em and do a quick review.

    Congrats on your purchase! I don't mind the looks of the Micra at all.

    My 2017 Mirage ES is the same color gray. I like the color, but I also see the justification of buying a brightly colored small car that sticks out more, too.

    The Micra seems like a nice small car. Look forward to your updates & comparisons. Who knows? With Mitsubishi becoming a part of the Alliance group (Renault/Nissan/Mitsubishi), the Micra/Mirage may become a blend of the two cars in the future.

    Congrats on the new whip. I guess those two cars are really 'brothers from another mother' now, eh?

    Looking forward to the comparison (though I think I already know what you're going to say ).

    If there is interest I will do a comparison. I have a lot of thoughts after my drive to work already. Lots to compare, but it's not all apples to apples. There is 100% a winner though, ignoring the SV package I have. Driveability is... yeah. There is a difference.
