In the case of the Honda Fit, it's a bit impressive that Honda is getting 130 hp out of a non-turbo 1.5 L engine. To put that in perspective - My first car a 1978 Honda Civic Wagon had a 1.5 L CVCC engine that cranked out 63 hp.
I really don't feel the Mirage is underpowered, because I've owned several cars with less hp. My first car is just one example.
I'm sure the new Civic is very nice! It takes even more to impress Scotty Kilmer, and he is impressed by them!
Nice ride. Being you're in LA I'd probably spring for at least a civic sized car/power. I don't think I'd want to drive a mirage in LA traffic and the speeds they travel out there not to mention the higher likelyhood of an accident out there. I lived out there for about 7yrs and recently visited and it's so much worse now than the early to mid 2,000s
Edit. Is LA los Angeles or Louisiana? Lol
It's Los Angeles. I want to move out too and mirages are fine in LA. Had 3 and wife has still a 18 G4

Congrats!!
I've owned 2 Civics: '85 bread van style stripper manual, and an '07 plain jane sedan manual. Both were very enjoyable in different ways. Both were shockingly good on gas when driven carefully.
The '07 was probably the most "grown-up" car I've ever owned.
I bought it a few years back as a "winter beater" (ironic, considering it was nicer than the summer car). Of course I modified it for better efficiency and it and averaged 48 mpg US / 4.9 L/100 km over the 3000 km I drove it. [ 15 mods = 15% MPG improvement: A-B test, 2007 Honda Civic 1.8L, 5-speed ]. I sold it for a small profit the next spring.
I'm sure you'll love it.

I've owned a '79 Civic 1200, a '98 Civic coupe, a '98 Civic sedan, a '98 Prelude SH, and a 2000 Civic DX Hatchback. My wife owned two CRXs and a '90 Civic hatchback. Honda makes great cars.
I do 3000-3100RPM at 80mph...
