I bought a mirage about 8 years ago, the thing got 45 MPG and had 97 horse power. Monthly payment was 109$. I drove it across the country and when we got to the rockies I had 18 wheelers passing me up the hills, pedal all the way on the floor.
I had a 1st edition Toyota Tercel (1of the first 30 ever delivered to Memphis) at age 16. Had 60 horsepower and had no problems with going anywhere. It didn’t have all the anti pollution stuff your Mirage did and was a 5 speed manual though and when I really needed acceleration I would turn off the AC.

Bought a 2024 Chevrolet Trax two months ago, stickered at $23,000. It's been awesome. Lots of room, good tech, decent MPG. And it looks great too. They're selling like hotcakes so maybe some of the other manufacturers will take note.
I’m glad to see a good review on the Trax. We are looking for my daughter’s first car and used car prices are so ridiculous that we have come to the conclusion that we might end up having to buy a new one. The Nissan Versa is on the list but she is loving the Chevy Trax and they are a great price even for the base model and it seems like it’s not a tiny vehicle.

That is insane. I mean you can still get a really nice ride for like $40k-43k (mid size SUV with leather seats).

re: Mitsubishi to discontinue the Mirage- the last remaining car under $20,000Posted on 8/18/23 at 7:02 pm to LoneStar23 The plan of a car-less society is moving forward nicely
So auto companies are trying to put themselves out of business? Sure ok.

You will own nothing and be happy. The people responsible for maintaining the value of the dollar should be strung up.

I use it for work and all I have to do is lay the backseat down, pull the front passenger seat up, and I can fit a 6' ladder in there with ease.
Got moved from field work to the office. I went from driving a 2023 F-150 as my main work vehicle to the new Trax and I didn't think I would like it. But I do.

So, a new car for less $20,000 today is nothing but a mirage.

I used to drive a Ford Explorer, that car gave me fits and guzzled gas but I loved it. Fast forward to today and I drive a Corolla and I don’t see myself going back to an SUV or truck for commuting ever. I used to commute an hour each way in Atlanta with that explorer, I don’t know how some of you baws that drive big arse trucks and suvs can stand it. I want a truck eventually but can see myself keeping a smaller sedan specifically for commuting should I ever need it.

They have to make sure everyone knows how manly they are while they drive their trucks.

I bought one for my kid. That BARELY qualifies as a car.

Just say you bought it because you're poor. Don't pretend you bought because you're smart.
Posted on 8/19/23 at 3:11 pm to TigerCoon
Well I'm not rich. I had a budget, like most people. I could've gotten a used RAV4 or similar for a few thousand more, or a brand new vehicle for a great price. Seems smart to me.

Not really mirage is actually a good car

Can thank government intervention in the markets for this. People who own EVs on this board won’t get it though - you’re just a poor if you can’t afford progress

Those early Tercels were actually slower than a mid-2010s Mirage probably 3-4 seconds or so slower 0-60. The power to weight wasn't as good as the Mirage which for a modern car is fairly light at around 2,100 pounds.

Before Bidenshit you could buy a new Mirage for about 12k.
