Well I'll be! Best Mirage review [2021] I've seen in a long time! Driving.ca

Holy $)%&, my eyes just about fell outta my head just now.

2021 Canadian Mirage review that starts out...

The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the most affordable cars in North America – and one of the most misunderstood. [...] It’s uncomplicated and utilitarian in a way that ought to be celebrated, but that enthusiast reviewers just can’t get their heads around. That’s too bad, because it’s a good little machine.

And it just goes on from there being completely level-headed.

Probably the most reasonable review of the car I've ever read.

I loved this line:

the Mirage caters to people who don’t feel the need to make a statement: the anti-Joneses, if you will.

And...

I’m convinced that today’s reviewers have grown so accustomed to the astonishing performance of modern premium cars that they have lost sight of just how far our econoboxes have come.

And..

And to the reviewers who will be driving this car in the coming months: please stop moaning about how it doesn’t corner like a Civic or accelerate like a Sonata. It’s nice to have those points of reference, but that isn’t the point. Let’s save the cheap shots and keep our comparisons grounded, because this car is fine.
It’s time to give the little Mirage its due.

It's not all sweeness and light. He does list a number of valid criticisms, but overall worth a read.
