April 4, 2014 7:18 p.m.TweetEmailPrint(0) CommentsLast year when I drove the 109-horsepower Nissan Versa Note I thought I'd driven the slowest accelerating car made in the past 10 years. The new Mitsubishi Mirage makes the pokey Versa Note feel frisky. Mirage is a pleasant looking small hatchback designed for the entry-level buyer. It's a small segment of the market, but there is a need for inexpensive entry-level economy cars. I'm happy that low-cost economy models exist, but I expect a new car to have enough power. Mirage has a 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine that creates a mere 74 horsepower. That makes it slow to pull away from stoplights, and it requires quite a long run down an entry ramp to get to highway speeds. Under heavy acceleration, the drivetrain groans considerably. The sparkling metallic red Mirage ES that I tested comes with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that does the car no favor by seeming to hunt for the appropriate gear to pull the front-drive sedan up to normal driving speeds. The irony is that CVTs usually are super smooth-shifting with infinite gear ratios so a car gets good gas mileage. Certainly that's what you expect with a small engine and a price of $13,700 for the base DE model with a five-speed manual transmission. That model is rated at 34 mpg city and 42 mpg highway, while the ES model is rated at 37 mpg city and 44 highway, due to the CVT. However, I got just 29.6 mpg in about 60% city driving, considerably lower than the EPA numbers. The tested Mirage ES starts at $15,195. Add the $795 delivery charge, and this car comes in just under $16,000. Sadly, the performance reflects the price. In addition to the weak power, the Mirage also falls short in a couple other areas. Its ride is choppy. The wheelbase is a short 96.5 inches, and the tires are only 14 inches. You feel every bump and expansion joint in the roads. There's also a high-pitched wind hum once the car gets to about 40 mph, but it appeared to be from the body or mirrors, not a window air leak. Handling is vague, with more play in the wheel than you'd expect in a small car, and there's some lean in tight turns. The Mazda2, Hyundai Accent and Ford Fiesta have much more responsive steering. Though, steering effort is light and easy. The car feels light, and the braking is fine, with discs up front and drums in back. Most cars now have discs all around, but this is one way to keep the car's costs down. Mitsubishi does give the Mirage traction and stability control systems. Mirage's interior is well laid out and doesn't feel or look like an entry-level product. The test car's dash is textured black plastic, and there's a gloss black surround on the center stack, with matte silver trim by the shifter and on the tilt-only steering wheel's hub. The wheel and shifter also are leather-wrapped. The test car's seats were a black and purple cloth pattern that looked youthful, not cheap or tacky. Equipment is not bare bones either. There are radio, phone and cruise-control buttons on the steering wheel hub and power mirror buttons on the dash's left side. What impressed me most was the clean gauge and center stack design with a large 140-watt radio with big channel selection buttons and a big volume knob in the center. Likewise, the climate controls are large with automatic digital temperature control. The Mirage's seats are fairly flat, with just mild contouring, and they are firm. I found them comfortable enough for city driving. I also liked the dial on the driver's seat that raised and lowered its height. Despite the car's small dimensions, head and legroom are good up front and moderate in back. If no one is exceedingly tall, you can get four adults into the Mitsubishi. There's good storage behind the rear seat as the cargo area under the hatch measures 17.2 cubic feet. The rear seats also split and fold nearly flat, but you must release the seat backs from the back. So you have to open the hatch to lower them. I also like that there's a wiper on the hatch window. Other interior features include two cup holders between the front seats, plus an open box in front of the console's gear shift lever. The headlights also turn off a few seconds after you shut off the car's ignition and open the door, although there is a warning beep when you open the door. There's also push-button start, but the button is somewhat awkwardly located on the dash's left side, where you might expect a lights knob in an older car. The Mirage's sun visors also feel flimsy and do not slide. This is a basic, bare-bones car at a low price, and one that's aimed at first-time buyers who need economy more than anything else. Be aware there are several other low-cost small cars on the market, so drive them all before making your choice.
