Comparison Review

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

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 SE 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 SE 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 SE Hardtop takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Handling
The MINI SE 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 SE 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
The MINI SE Hardtop has much less torque than the Mitsubishi Mirage, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

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