Actually our used 2015 Mirage was competing with two things:
-- Keeping our 2006 Scion XA and not getting a different vehicle, or
-- Getting a used 2009-20012 used AWD/4WD car with better ground clearance than the Scion (for better winter travel ability on our not always snow-plowed gravel road), and not terrible mileage for a car that age and type.
The Mirage actually has slightly better ground clearance than the Scion and better fuel economy of course...and looks like new. The better winter travel strategy plan now is to have the 4WD pickup in better repair going into next winter...unless we replace it with a better used truck before the snow flies again.
