The engine is perfectly big enough with enough torque for daily driving.
The 2000 Geo Metro 3-cyl (which nobody here really rags on) had 58 ft/lbs vs the 74 ft/lbs the Mirage has. They both weigh around the same amount. The Mirage is more aerodynamic too.
There are plenty of other vehicles around the world with smaller engines and less torque/power.
