At least it’s an upgrade from the current one’s design.

I...kinda like the current Mirage...?
Well....the pre-facelift one more than the post-facelift one, but still!

My wife was recently in Utah and saw their design inspiration at 9,000ft.

I'm with you there. Sure, it's an econobox, but it's roomy for it's size, the three cylinder felt like it'd be fun to drive hard and I bet it's light enough to be more fun to drive hard through corners than the Sienna..

I have a thing for basic, cheap cars, but I am weird. :P

Internet Car Enthusiasts: “Hey, why don’t companies make basic, no frills, affordable cars anymore?”
*Mirage, Versa, 500 exist*
Internet Car Enthusiasts: “Why can’t they be as good as cars twice thei r MSRP, tho?”

I am perfectly good with the Mirage and 500 as they are! I drive an ‘09 Accent that I love that has absolutely no options (no power windows/mirrors, remote locking, etc, etc)
, and it is perfectly fine for me.
For A-B transport, the Versa is fine...but I like the “jelly mould” styling on the Mirage and the 500 a lot more, especially the 500 as I am a big FIAT guy. That being said, the 500 is a lot more expensive, at least in Canada. A base 500 is $22k here...a base Mirage is $10K and a base Versa is $15K! We get the Nissan
Micra here in Canada, which is also $10K. The 500 comes with a lot more features standard than the base trim Mirage and Micra, so I don’t consider it a “basic, no frills, affordable car” even if I do love it.
I always buy used, but I would be perfectly happy buying a brand new Mirage or Micra as that is the kind of car I like! :)

I’d argue they're not basic enough.. also, not cheap enough either.. ;-)

This fell on deaf ears with no pictures.
I do like the intro :P

I don’t hate the pre-facelift Mirage, but I don’t think it looks good either. Mostly I just thought the post was really funny

I know a lot of people hate on basic cars for being basic, but I’m not one of them. I dislike Mirages for being ugly (to me) and Versas for being poorly built. But I dislike the Yaris for the same reason. Actually I hate the Yaris even more than the Versa. But you have reminded me that I want a 500 Abarth

I definitely laughed not going to lie. The current Mirage is a good little ride. I’ve had mine right at two years and we’ve been everywhere together. A few little touches make them start to pop a bit. Mine has a place for a long time next to my other Mitsubishi byproduct.

You’re welcome! And no harm, no foul...we all have our preferences. I mean, you’re talking to the guy that wants to own a Trabant someday so.....I have acquired tastes :P
