Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Dodge Challenger than in the Mitsubishi Mirage, due to the Dodge Challenger's smaller rear head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Dodge Challenger and the Mitsubishi Mirage in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Challenger as you will with the Mitsubishi Mirage, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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 Dodge Challenger will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mitsubishi Mirage, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Challenger 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 Dodge Challenger, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Handling
The Dodge Challenger 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 Dodge Challenger 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 Dodge Challenger 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 Dodge Challenger and the Mitsubishi Mirage.
