Mitsubishi announced Thursday that it would make available Rockford Fosgate Special Edition badges attached to a Mirage.
The badges, which cost $14,495 to start, include a car that still has four speakers (five if you count a 6.5-inch subwoofer) and four wheels.
The Rockford Fosgate Special Edition costs $200 more than the Mirage ES, from which it is based. The Mirage ES still features 14-inch alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted audio and Bluetooth phone controls.
The subwoofer is powered by a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder engine and 300 watts and goes on sale soon.

If you compare this to a 10-year old subcompact, then yes, it's not a bad car.
The Nissan Micra is actually the car to compare with Mirage...but Nissan thinks it's only for Canada or Mexico. From what I understand, Nissan still sells the Tsuru in Mexico...which is an older model Sentra. Another good comparison, would be the Accent/Rio. The Fit compares in size....but is in a higher class. IMO
I like the Micra. I think it would make a nice city commuter. The Mirage is in the same class, the only thing is that the Micra actually looks neat...the Mirage is ugly.
Leave it to key board warriors to knock a car they know nothing about. Leave it to keyboard warriors who most likely know nothing about cars, but sit behind there computers to knock a vehicle. The mirage is an inexpensive car, which gets great MPG's while delivering a good ride and a 10 year warranty.
