I haven't sat in a Lancer, but the general concensus is the Mirage has decent rear seat room for its compact outside dimensions.

I sat "behind myself" comfortably, leg-room wise. I'm 5'10", though my head was just brushing the headliner.

The Versa is really an odd duck.
No kidding. And it sells boatloads in the States -- several months this year were over 10k units!

Mitsu sold 475 Mirages last month in the U.S. Not all dealers were stocked yet, they said. But they're only predicting moving 7k a year.
