Review 

The 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage is placed at the bottom of the sub-compact car rating, with a rough ride, a slow-down engine, a cheap interior, and unsupportive seats. At a decent cost, Mitsubishi’s Mirage hatchback with a 10-year warranty is going to sell you a fresh new 2021. At first, such a deal may sound wonderful, but what you get is a little unrefined vehicle with an indoor market and a punchy three-cylinder engine.

Standard features such as automatic braking, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and automatic climate control are extensive. The Mirage also provides outstanding fuel economy and amazing cargo space. If your budget can handle it, we would still recommend looking at your competitors before you sign up, but Mitsubishi cannot beat those who just care about dollars and cents.
