Define terrible!
- If you (like most auto reviewers) want blistering acceleration, it is definitely terrible.
- If you (like most auto reviewers) want tight, responsive handling, the 2014/15 Mirages were objectively terrible and the 2017/18 are somewhat less so (due to suspension/braking/steering upgrades). Aftermarket suspension bits are available.
- If you (like most auto reviewers, and maybe a lot of normal people?) want to be coddled in soft-touch surfaces and isolated from drivetrain & road noise, it is probably on the terrible side of the spectrum.
- If you (unlike most auto reviewers, and probably most normal people?) appreciate a light, relatively aerodynamic, efficient, cheap-to-own car, it's definitely not terrible.

the Aveo is the worst car in the world (not really, but it's not good).

Good contrast: the Aveo is objectively a bad car because (A) it was not very efficient, and (B) lots of known mechanical/electrical problems. The Mirage is proving to be pretty reliable, despite being so lightly built.
