Interesting tidbit:

As of August 2012, the Mirage 1.0L 5-speed is the most fuel-efficient gasoline non-hyrbid car in Japan, excluding minicars.

Quote:
The new Mirage launched in August 2012 surpasses Japan’s fuel efficiency standard for 2015 by 20%.
We're going to have to mount a campaign to get the 1.0L in North America. So far, we're only supposed to get the 1.2.

2013/2014 M irage mpg / fuel economy ratings by country (Space Star also)
