Put 265,000 on a 3.1 malibu, 255,000 on a Stratus, 215,000 on current cobalt, all without anymore than 1 $350 fuel pump, never a CAT that seems to always come up with Toy's and Hondas. Boss has 2 that say they should be replaced. Luckily for him no yearly test here.
But for the price and MPG I'd still go Mirage, unless I was in Canada and could get a Micra which would make the decision a little tougher. Once in the 40 mpg range, cost per mile difference is tiny. Micra looks win, extra power wins, better suspension wins, engine rod knock, downer. Mirage rear axle not as big as the micra rod knock.
