In 1992, Mitsubishi staked its claim in the growing market for subcompact cars, and tried to boost its identity throughout the world, with the 1993 Mitsubishi Mirage.  11 years later Mitsubishi is re-releasing it's first subcompact, to be available to customers. 

In 1992 the Mirage was powered by either a 1.5-liter I4 (92hp) or a 1.8-liter (113hp) engine, coming in coupe and sedan models.  This light car felt pretty quick with responsive steering on super-skinny tires.  The new Mitsubishi Mirage keeps the small compact look at a cheap price.  It is light and low in running costs, but best of all it is deceptively spacious inside.  For a car of its size the Mirage boasts a generous amount of headroom and rear legroom.  It is also eco- friendly producing no more than 110g/km of CO2 emissions, courtesy of a choice of two extremely efficient three-cylinder engine.  It is also insanely efficient providing 40 MPG combined, the most fuel efficient gas-powered non-hybrid in America.
