The Mirage’s closest competitor in terms of size is the Chevrolet Spark, which was recently refreshed and is superior to the Mitsubishi in almost every way.

The Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio are both fresh designs, and offer great value for the money and similar powertrain options and features as they’re based on the same platform.
The Nissan Versa is showing its age, but is still the cheapest new car on sale and has plenty of space for a subcompact sedan.
