Australia- Motoring.com.au comparision: Mirage vs. Barina Spark, Micra, Alto, and Up!

[festiboi]

This is an old one, but I don't see it posted anywhere. We won! We actually won....by default!

Interesting comparison test between the Holden Barina Spark, Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Micra, Suzuki Alto, Volkswagen Up!

They didn't like the Mirage's handling, standard ventilation controls, and lower than expected fuel economy, but found it to be a likable overall package.

The Up! was too expensive, the Spark has a rough powertrain, and the Micra, Spark, and Alto all score well in crash tests, but not as good as the Mirage. These guys are big into safety and that paid off for the Mitsu, giving it the gold medal!

Yeap!! It is a fun car to drive. The fuel economy however strongly depends on your feet.
