Supplanted by the Mitsubishi Lancer in 2003, the Mirage used to be Mitsubishi's name for its small car in the U.S. Like many turn-of-the-millennia compacts, it wasn't designed to set the world on fire with performance. Today, however, the Lancer is a nicely designed little used car, with a snarky looking coupe model that still looks good today, and gets very good gas mileage.
