2015 Mirage ES
I have gotten 48 MPG as long as I stay at 55 mph or less. Don't use cruise control at freeway speeds 65+ mph or up mild to steep hills. The CVT transmission is like a slipping clutch and cruise control is not designed to handle this. It will reach RPM's over 4500 and kill your gas mileage instantly. The transmission itself can not handle 65+ mph. The gas mileage has been as low as 30 MPG at speeds of 65 mph. I should have bout the 5 speed. The Mirage is everything the Geo Metro should have been except that horrible CVT transmission. I don't know what kind of highways they test mileage on but even a level road at 65+ will not get you even in the 40's with or without cruise control.
No catchy title
Shopped & drove several other vehicles/makes (including Hyundai since I traded in a 2005 Elantra), & am basically pleased, but more time/miles will have to pass before I give definite final review. As most customer reviews appear to agree, the gas mileage is great but pick up/acceleration is lacking but sufficient for all but emergency situations. Willing to put up with lower cost vehicle options for steady, reliable, economical, operation. Shopped a few other used car dealers, but couldn't find acceptable color or model (ES w/cruise control) till I went to a local Carmax. They had another similar vehicle, but I paid $99 shipping fee from another nearby Carmax because that vehicle had less miles & was cheaper (by much more than the $100 shipping fee). Used money from my retirement fund, so financing was all my own. Hope to make up some of the money paid out by gas savings. As long as you don't try to do tight lane passing, runs just fine so far.

Excellent little car
I purchased this car because I was looking for small hatchback with great fuel economy. After test driving several other vehicles in this class I went with the Mirage mostly because it seems to be the perfect car for a shorter person...Meaning I'm 5'2" and no amount of adjusting mirrors or seats seemed to make the Nissan Versa or Honda Fit a realistic option for me when it comes to visibility. So if you're short like me, the Mirage is probably a great option for you. This car is pretty basic and bare bones, but that's all I need. It's not a super quiet ride, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it seriously gets close to 50mpg most of the time and my biggest complaint is that the clock runs slow and has to be reset frequently. I've driven the car in MN winter conditions with no issues and have driven up and down mountains in OR...It doesn't do great going up steep hills. Overall all, it's a much better car than I expected to get with my budget. I've been driving it for a year and a half now and have no regrets about my purchase.
