Crrrrrrap!

I'm not getting one of those little crapboxes! Don't you know they're the WORST CAR IN THE WORLD!??

From our most popular threads of 2018...

14) The Mitsubishi Mirage is the WORST CAR you can buy!



Never mind 50 mpg (US) when driven conservatively, and 60+ mpg when hypermiled! Never mind that the car's U.S. sales have increased for 5 years straight. Doug Demuro tells you why the cheap, reliable Mirage is so bad.

In all seriousness, I definitely don't NEED another car right now. My fleet is still a little too corpulent.

But if a Mirage comes up for the right price, I will pounce. OK, yes, I'm signed up for e-mail alerts for local ones for sale. It's just a matter of time.
