Mitsubishi Fixed The Mirage, You Guys: Here's The Rockford Fosgate Edition

Aaron Cole

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.

      @shaker Here is another one, the Versa Note has better resale than the Mirage, which is saying something. The mean of avg condition Notes is 9,6 and above avg is 10,9 while the Mirage is 8,7 avg and 9,5 above/extra clean. So you're talking a grand a better for two vehicles at +/- $50 in msrp and the Nissan gives you an I4. I mean they are both 10-12K cars in real worth new but asking 16K with dest on either is criminal. If you must buy new stick to the Note. Mirage ES is $15,395/auto plus dest Versa Note S "Plus" is 15,430/auto plus dest MY15 Nissan Versa Note S Plus 10/15/15 TX HOBBY Regular $10,500 1,340 Above WHITE 4G A Yes 10/28/15 CEN FLA Lease $11,000 3,546 Above WHITE 4G A Yes 10/28/15 NASHVILL Factory $10,600 5,217 Above AQUA 4G A Yes 10/14/15 DALLAS Factory $10,200 5,239 Avg BLUE 4G O Yes 10/15/15 NASHVILL Factory $9,200 7,057 Avg GRAY 4G A Yes 10/27/15 RIVRSIDE Lease $11,250 8,255 Above MAGNETIC 4G O Yes 10/15/15 PHOENIX Lease $10,100 9,821 Avg WHITE 4G A Yes 10/27/15 RIVRSIDE Factory $9,750 10,376 Avg GRAY 4G A Yes 10/20/15 BALTWASH Lease $9,400 12,448 Avg WHITE 4G A Yes 10/14/15 DALLAS Factory $10,000 12,481 Avg CARMINE 4G A Yes 10/15/15 CHICAGO Factory $9,600 12,620 Avg BLACK 4G A Yes 10/15/15 CHICAGO Factory $9,500 13,250 Avg WHITE 4G O Yes 10/20/15 NASHVILL Factory $9,600 14,928 Avg ASH 4G A Yes 10/20/15 RIVRSIDE Factory $9,000 17,467 Avg GRAY 4G A Yes 10/15/15 CHICAGO Factory $7,900 19,165 Below GREEN 4G O Yes 10/29/15 CHICAGO Factory $9,800 20,988 Avg RED 4G A Yes 10/28/15 NASHVILL Factory $9,200 21,513 Avg LIQ PLAT 4G A Yes MY15 Mitusbishi Mirage ES 10/21/15 KC Lease $8,600 27 Avg BLACK 3G A No 10/21/15 KC Lease $8,500 1,680 Avg BLACK 3G A Yes 10/14/15 KC Lease $7,600 3,909 Below BLACK 3G 5 Yes 10/15/15 SO CAL Lease $8,000 7,148 Below WHITE 3G A Yes 10/07/15 CEN FLA Lease $9,300 7,693 Above WHITE 3G A Yes 10/21/15 KC Lease $8,500 9,936 Avg WHITE 3G A Yes 10/14/15 CEN FLA Lease $9,000 11,636 Avg GREEN 3G A Yes 10/09/15 PA Factory $9,300 11,727 Above GREEN 3G A Yes 10/28/15 MINNEAP Factory $9,100 11,789 Avg BLUE 3G A Yes 10/16/15 NEVADA Factory $9,100 11,819 Avg REEF BLU 3G A Yes 10/14/15 MILWAUKE Lease $8,400 18,937 Avg BLACK 3G A Yes 10/28/15 KC Lease $8,900 24,871 Avg GREEN 3G A Yes

    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.
