Technically you still have a Mirage: the Yaris kinda looks like a Mirage JK...JK...I still look for 08-12 Yaris sedans as l like the old simplicity of them.
The Mirage was a fine car. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one at all and have many times.
Before my Yaris, I had never kept a car more than about three years. I've had it for 14 years this August. It's been a very good vehicle.
