    Australia: Mirage named "Best City Car of 2013" w/video (drive.com.au)



    Surprise, surprise.

    In a big upset, Mirage upset the VW Polo, which took the award the previous 3 years running. Even though the reviewers admit they like the Polo's driving feel better, its pricing put it out of contention compared to the Mirage's overall value. The smaller VW Up was not considered because there is no automatic gearbox option.

    Judges praised the Mirage for its ride comfort, its light, city-friendly steering and small turning circle, the fact it’s fitted with the full complement of safety equipment (six airbags, stability control), its Bluetooth-equipped stereo system, and the thrifty and perky three-cylinder engine.


    “The Mirage meets all the requirements for not a lot of money,” one judge stated.
    The Mirage doesn't escape criticism, though. It was also described as noisy, with drab appeal.

    Agree, not a perfect car. However, in my eyes it worths every penny.
