TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Fiat 500 is appealing for those who value personality above all else, but it sports some glaring flaws.

The 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage challenges the assumption that there are no bad new cars anymore.

TCC Likes

Smile-inducing style
Rip-roaring Abarth
Standard turbo power

Minimalism isn’t always bad
Room for four adults
Easy parking

TCC Dislikes

Not very frugal
Puny inside
Poor crash test scores

Dismal acceleration
Scary highway handling
Very noisy at speed
