According to US News, the Mirage was one of the “lowest-rated” cars in its subcompact class. The article continued, stating that the Mirage had “many cons,” such as “low-quality interior materials,” “a bouncy ride,” and a “poor reliability rating,” despite having “very few [positive] attributes.” J.D. Power gives the Mirage a 2 out of 5 dependability rating, which is an uncommon failure for the manufacturer, who is often recognised for producing high-quality vehicles.
