If you are looking for all the bells and whistles you should look elsewhere, but if you want a great warranty, reliability, fuel economy, and easy parking this is the car for you. I had a Ford Escort back in the day and loved it. Eventually got a Ford minivan but my kid toting days are over. I don't haul a lot of stuff and I have no kids at home, so this car was great. I take long road trips and the fuel economy is great. 52 mpg at some points. Costs me very little in gas and now that I am experiencing my first Erie, PA lake effect winter in this car I am loving it. I was very afraid of getting stuck but bought my snow tires in October and have not been stuck yet. I didn't even shovel this morning after a 4-6 inch snow storm and got out of my driveway without a hiccup. My Chevy Malibu I traded in for this car was stuck all last year. No snow tires, but it was a heavier car. Gas mileage on that was horrible and the interior was cheap and plastic. And I paid more for that car even with it being 3 years old. This was a brand new car with a 5 year 60,000 mile basic warranty. Compare that to the normal 3 year 36,000 mile on most cars. That was the biggest selling point. I could afford a brand new car with no worries for 5 years and have no car payments. It's small but very much a great car. Go ahead and pay more for the Chevy Cruze (which has nothing on it for their base price) and see the cheapy plastic interior and how many times you need it serviced. And our Mitsubishi dealer here in Erie could not be better. They get 5 stars. Gave me a loaner for an oil change. Who does that? They treat you as well as the person who bought a $30,000 car. The Mirage is not the fanciest car, but it does the job and does it well. No complaints here.

This car is great basic transportation. After adjusting my driving habits from a 300 Hp ride to a 74 Hp economy car I have no complaints. All cars have different handling characteristics and should be driven accordingly. While this car is capable of doing just over 100mph I recommend keeping it under 75mph. I did add some spring stiffness blocks to the rear springs and handling improved significantly. I do not know why the professional ratings are lower than consumers. They are either out of touch or do not have realistic expectations when it comes to basic transportation.

OK, this car probably isn't for everyone but it is a great car for those who want a basic and reliable vehicle. Forget about what the "professional" and "expert" reviewers say. Not everyone wants all the frills in the world and some like us view them as a negative. Not everyone wants a touch screen to control every system in the car. If you are this way then this car is worth a look. My girlfriend's old car recently started having issues with needing one repair after another and then 3 major ones hit at once and the cost of doing all these would have been about double the value of the car. It was time to move on and get her a new car. She wanted a basic small subcompact. I had been looking into these as I do a lot of driving and like small cars like this for the handling and economy. All the owners had nothing but good things to say about them. We looked at several other cars but she didn't fall in love with any of them. I thought the low cost, features, and warranty of the Kia Rio were good but she didn't like the car. It had too many features such as a touch screen and the like that she didn't want. It was love at first sight with this one. It had basic intuitive controls that were easy to operate and the manual transmission model drove smooth and has plenty of power. We did not test drive the automatic/CVT model. I see other reviews categorizing this car as sluggish so maybe they are reviewing that transmission option. The transmission in this one has appropriate gear ratios and has plenty of power. The engine is TIMING CHAIN driven which is almost unheard of in a cheap 3 cylinder car like this one and has variable valve timing which produces a nice flat torque curve. The engine is being further improved in 2017 with the addition of roller lifters/cams for slightly more power and economy. Some engineering went into this one. The car has room for 4 adults and doesn't bog down with the extra weight. You wouldn't take a long vacation in this car with 4 people but there is room for a suitcase or two in the back hatch. You could also fit several file boxes back there. The car has one of the longest warranties in the industry. It meets or exceed that of Kia/Hyundai in every category. It is also great on gas. We seem to get around 36 in town and 48-50mpg on the highway. I suspect this might improve as the engine breaks in more. Again, this little guy has plenty of power. I drove it home on the interstate and it didn't slow down on even some pretty large hills. I was maintaining speed and passing trucks in 5th gear without even really pushing it. The "Eco" light never even went off. Apparently this car switches to a more aggressive tuning that isn't as good on gas when you really punch it and this light goes off. The engine is a little loud during acceleration but this isn't the end of the world. It definitely idles very smooth which wasn't the case for past 3 cylinder cars that shake quite a bit. Obviously the engine is better balanced. The interior isn't fancy but simple which is appealing if you ask me. Not everyone wants a complex touch screen to turn on the ventilation, radio, and more. No, this isn't a fancy car and there are other good competing options you should look at for other cars in this price range compared to cars of this segment in decades past. The Kia Rio certainly fits the bill. This was purchased at Springfield Mitsubishi/Springfield Imports in Springfield, MO. I highly suggest this location if it is near you as it was a low-key experience and you didn't feel you were in a mind game with the dealership the entire time.
