Not a Mitsubishi product, but better than Chevy's old Aveo. I'm not sure if they are still Daewoo's or not. The Sonic actually is a good looking car. Imo a better-sized subcompact than my Mirage. But I do like the looks of my Mirage overall.
The Spark... not my thing. Not as sporty looking as a Mirage hatch. Looks "ok" in black, but overall I just don't like the looks. Some of the colours I see on the road (when I do see a Spark rarely) usually a weird colour like cream white that looks yellowy, or bright lime green.
Edit: my old friend from school I still talk to has a Sonic, she has a newer one that replaced a newer Focus. The focus was just problem after problem. I don't hear car complaints now lol so I think they are ok. Manual is longer lasting, like Steve's manual Mirage rolled over 300 000 miles the other day. Hers is auto, she won't learn stick and I have tried..
