6. Mitsubishi Mirage

The Mitsubishi Mirage is perfect if city driving is all you intend to use it for. The Mirage’s 1.2 liter 3-cylinder engine only puts out 74 horsepower, making it difficult if you need to pass, drive uphill, or do a lot of highway driving. These issues are much less noticeable in the congested traffic usually found in the city. The Mirage has no issues navigating crowded city streets due to its diminutive size. The power steering has a numb area in the center, allowing to car to wander if the driver doesn’t stay alert. The suspension suffers from severe body roll on sharp turns or aggressive lane changes. The Mitsubishi Mirage does get great gas mileage, with 37 mpg city and 44 mpg highway, due to the continuously variable transmission. When driving in large, congested cities, the Mirage shines. The small size and excellent gas mileage make life easy when dealing with traffic or parking in tight spots.
