Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Civic than the Mitsubishi Mirage. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Civic, drivers may find the Mitsubishi Mirage a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The Honda Civic 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 Honda Civic will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Mirage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Civic is much wider than the Mitsubishi Mirage, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Honda Civic, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Handling
The Honda Civic 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 Honda Civic 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 Honda Civic does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Honda Civic and the Mitsubishi Mirage.
