I get that.
The Mirage is, however, a top heavy floppy nightmare if you try to actually have fun with the thing.
I mean, I HAVE a rear sway bar in mine, and it experiences as much body roll pulling out of my driveway as the Micra does squealing all 4 tires in a roundabout. My old Jeep was better planted.
Is it dangerous? No. Does it inspire confidence? HAHA no. For the price I paid, I'm ok with it, but I will never call it good. And being a 2018, it has the upgraded suspension...

Personally, I am glad to hear that the updated Mirage will have the same powertrain. I hope Mitsubishi maintains its identity despite the merger with Nissan/Renault.
As far as I am concerned, I haven't read anything that makes me believe the updated Mirage is all that different from the current one. The Mirage fills a niche, & I hope it continues to stick around in the U.S. market.
The SE also gets fog lights, the black trim for the door "arm rests", a nicer looking gauge cluster, a thin chrome strip around the center vents (and I think the side vents... I'd have to go look), the apple carplay/android auto headunit thing, leather steering wheel and shift knob, gloss black trim around the shifter instead of silver, and the previously mentioned 14" alloys and the fast key system.
Maybe something else, but I don't honestly remember off the top of my head.
