The Mirage *is* the definition of cheap; however, in 2018 cheap doesn't mean unreliable and bad. Cheap simply means its not filled with lavish pleather/leather and electronic lane control and other very high end features.
The problem in today's car buying world is that vehicles that cost $40k or even $60k don't necessarily last longer than a vehicle at a $15-20k price point.
Quality is in the eye of the beholder. If you're going to be underwater on a car payment for years, losing thousands when you drive it off the lot, and its not going to last any longer, AND if the larger expensive vehicles are going to drink gas until your wallet is dry, is it worth spending the cash on?
From what I can tell, the average Mirage is lasting years without major problems.
