I never feel bothered by the lack of power after test-driving something bigger and more powerful. The lack of inertia when you light off the line is addictive.

Granted, it doesn't have much go after that.

I wonder, actually, if the largely negative press the Mirage gets in the US would change if Mitsubishi only lent out manual test units. The CVT is a bore, but the manual is kind of quick given the power on tap.
