Mitsubishi Mirage Vs Toyota Yaris: Compare Cars - The Car Connection
Like the Chevrolet Spark minicar, it's family transportation in less affluent countries, but the Mirage is neither as sophisticated nor as cheerful as the Spark. The Yaris, on the other hand, is the smallest and least expensive car in Toyota's U. S. lineup—although it's not a particular sterling example of small-car design. It will hold four adults, however, with some negotiating between front and rear. The front end of the slightly bigger Yaris was recently restyled with a gaping maw below the bumper, giving it a strange, vacuum-cleaner appearance, but the rest of the car is tidier—and we like the resolution of the hatch area and the taillights... Inside, though, both are pretty basic and anonymous—but the Toyota is clearly made of better-quality plastics and has more solid-feeling switchgear. Neither car has a particularly enjoyable powertrain. That's the highest gas-mileage rating for any non-hybrid sold in the U. S. But with only a 74-horsepower 1. 0-liter three-cylinder engine, the Mirage is neither fast nor powerful. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
