2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G3 Review : 

 

A fraternal twin to the Mirage hatchback, the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is a subcompact sedan with a small footprint and a small price tag. As one of the least expensive cars you can buy new today, the Mirage is bare-bones transportation at a competitive price. It also gets a long warranty and great gas mileage with an EPA-estimated 37 mpg combined.

Unfortunately, the downsides are significant. Under the hood, there's a tiny 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that feels anemic at any speed. Sheer straight-line performance shouldn't be a top priority with a subcompact sedan, but when it takes nearly 13 seconds to reach 60 mph, it's time for concern. Whether you're at a standstill or on the highway, the Mirage G3 is loud and unpleasant, with poor seat comfort and a short list of available features.

Before you let the low price draw you in, we'd recommend taking a look at more well-rounded rivals such as the Honda Fit, Kia Rio and Toyota Yaris.

Notably, we picked the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 as one of Edmunds' Best Gas Mileage Cars for 2020.

 

Which Mirage G3 does Edmunds recommend?

To get the Mirage G3's top-notch fuel economy rating, you've got to go with the optional continuously variable automatic transmission. Aside from that upgrade, though, we'd stick with the base ES trim level. You don't get optional features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto or the Rockford Fosgate audio system, but it keeps the G4's price competitive.
