Haven't heard much about the Mirage CVT. Though there is a worrying quality issue with a few batches out of Thailand. Parts supplier borked up the flywheel assembly on some CVTs, so sometimes the starter motor's gear teeth don't catch properly.

Some of the owners are irate... Mitsubishi is promising to honor the warranty on the recall, but is taking time to deliver new flywheels... they're backlogged.

Oh, just wanted to interject:

Cheaper than Versa? Likely. The Versa is huge for its price. Cheaper than a Spark? What? The Mirage has the Spark spanked in interior room, curb weight, acceleration (Spark has more on-paper power, but really, it's a dog because of the weight) and fuel economy... and it needs to be cheaper than the Spark? No. Just... no.
