>76hp
Completely worthless outside of only inner city driving. It’d be one thing if it was $10,000 or something, but for the prices they go for you might as well go with a Nissan, or better yet cough up some more for a Corolla.
It's a fucking subcompact you shit ass. The difference between this an a 2007 Yaris 4AT merging on the highway is you use more of the pedal for shortened ramps. Big fucking whoop.
Physics didn't exactly change over the last decade you clown. It's a 1.2L NA, did you want a Honda B16 treatment on it or someshit?
If you want to complain on the merits that it costs too much against the competition, especially for the features by all Means. But being slow as dogshit ain't it chief.
6.35hp/100cc vs the Versa's 7.5hp/100cc but it weighs 400lbs+ less. Not exactly a world of difference.
Regardless, if you buy either of these, you're probably primo NPC anyways. If kei cars sold here, the Mirage would be eaten alive by the competition.
We already know it's slow as piss. It's a goddamn ecoshit sub compact.
Why not have an actual significant input to the thread like below?
For the most part you're right. But depending on how you depress the pedal you can sometimes get the CVT to not be a nagger and actually provide a smooth power curve instantly. Flooring does nothing but just make more noise and waste more gas, the CVT needs to "approve" the power you're asking for before it decides to actually send it to the wheels. It really feels like the engine and CVT transmission are completely disconnected.
>Completely worthless outside of only inner city driving
What the fuck does this mean? You can reach highway speeds quite effortlessly with less than 76 hp. Shit, I've driven 20k a year with 59 hp. You just can't overtake like a retard. If you're moving with the traffic you're not using much power at all.

One of the last actual econoboxes that keeps the econo part. Not very powerful, but good on mpg, space for the size, and simplicity. Not the kind of car an enthusiast would purchase, but one you would get for your elderly mom who just needs a car to get to the grocery store and her bridge club. Cheap to buy and cheap to own.
>76 hp
Too small.
The Nissan Versa is not much more expensive and offers much more bang for buck in the "poorfag but still wants to buy new" segment, and I say this as someone who loathes Nissans.

El oh el.
i drove one and have to say i like it. small hatch, cheap parts, severely underpowered shitbox. give it a decade and LULZ will call it based. I don't get everyone hating on it. it's not trying to be anything but a cheap shitbox.
It's almost 60 hp weaker than a Fit, which is amazingly pathetic, and the wheels are too small, but overall it's one of the last truly small cheap bare-bones cars in the US; the modern Geo Metro.
I think it was a lot more compelling when it had a manual option. These days, I would much rather buy the 5sp Nissan Versa, which costs the same and has 45 more horsepower
These almost made sense back when you could get them new for $8k. Now they're pointless when you can just buy a normal sized shitbox for a couple grand more.
Depressing, soulless shitbox. Designed and built by people who don't give a fuck and just want the cheapest thing possible.
Just buy a used Camry Hybrid or something.
Good for what it is, a cheap disposable commuter car with a decent warranty
Small shitbox with hamster engine
for third worlders

>Citing 76hp as viable reason

>ummm this 2023 mirage is about equal to a piece of shit Yaris from 2007 ok chud???

>But uhhh there are other shitty slow cars too!!
Nobody cares. It's extremely slow acceleration is a significant negative.
You don't know how to drive.
>durrhurr hp doesn't even matter mannn
Shut the fuck up.

Swear this is the third time I've seen this exact post. I'm losing my mind
A fit makes 13hp/100cc from n/a
even the older SOHCs made that
*10hp/100cc (it's still more)
>subcompact
So is my car but it's rated for 130hp and not a measley 76hp.

Well the average retard takes 30s to reach 40mph. I have a 90hp ecoegg and rarely even can use all of that in normal traffic
Wrong
t. just bought a Mirage and has no trouble merging onto I-295 as part of his daily commute
It exists.
Probably not bad for a cheap a-to-b.

Actual incel car. Every single “person” that drives one of these shitheaps is a hideous maladjusted loser going nowhere in life
Too small for the price. A Skoda Fabia combi or Dacia Jogger are much better value

just buy a miata
I want one, but they’re all marked up to shit

You could buy a 2020 Corolla for that much.

This roastie at work drives one and always parks next to my E90.
It looks like an unsafe and unpowered shitbox.
