TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Fiesta drops pro handling moves in ST trim, and 3-cylinders excel at sipping fuel--but all Fiestas have very tight interiors.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage likely won't delight you or impress your passengers all that much, but it's a lot of efficient transportation for the dollar.

TCC Likes

Crisp, nicely proportioned exterior
Excellent steering
Strong feature set on Titanium

Room for four adults
Maneuverability, easy parking
Great gas mileage

TCC Dislikes

Very tight back seats
Balky dual-clutch transmission
Base audio controls are cluttered

Poor handling at speed
Sluggish acceleration
Very little extra power
