A new car for $12K is amazing. That said, I would go for the 1.0L EcoBoost Fiesta over the Mirage, despite the rather significant jump in price. Gotta wonder how big the depreciation hit will be in the first year for both of these little critters.

I've spent a couple of hours in a CVT Mirage and a week in the manual Fiesta. I didn't knock out a Mirage review, but my gut says this might be a solid little car with some aftermarket tweaks.

If you can, drive the Mirage and 1.0L Fiesta back-to-back. The Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent are worth a look, as well.
