Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mirage’s arrival to North America means Mitsubishi has now joined the subcompact category. Its 1.2L three-cylinder engine promises highway fuel consumption of 4.4L/100 km due mainly to a new-generation CVT. There are two available versions: the basic ES and the SE (which is like the ES but with numerous options added). With a 10-year powertrain warranty, the Mirage starts at $13,000.
