Mitsubishi Mirage may be pleasing and nice car but the competitors like Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra are more familiar to car buyers.

From 97 to 2002  Mitsubishi Mirage came out with all similar cars having nice fuel efficiency and compactness.

Such cars grow very cheap recently and these are really perfect cars of their time.
