Related bit of info that seems to corroborate CR's theory:

The Mitsu Mirage has the highest owner loyalty in the econobox/entry level segment , meaning return customers (the yard stick CR is using when it talks about owner satisfaction).

Owners of both the CVT and 5-speed transmissions are beating the EPA ratings on average, calculated from 3k+ fill-ups over 1,426,475 km / 886,371 miles of driving so far.

Ironically, CR hates the Mirage. Hates, hates, hates it.
