Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mitsubishi Mirage than the MINI Hardtop, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the MINI Hardtop, drivers may find the Mitsubishi Mirage a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The MINI Hardtop will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Mitsubishi Mirage, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The MINI Hardtop will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Mirage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the MINI Hardtop is much wider than the Mitsubishi Mirage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the MINI Hardtop takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Handling
The MINI Hardtop has a significantly larger turning radius than the Mitsubishi Mirage, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the MINI Hardtop has a much more powerful engine than the Mitsubishi Mirage. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the MINI Hardtop does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Utility
The MINI Hardtop has less seating than the Mitsubishi Mirage, making the Mitsubishi Mirage the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
