Mitsubishi Motors Corp. discontinued one of America's most affordable new cars when it pulled the plug on the Mirage in 2023. It was available as a four-door hatchback or sedan. With a starting price of $17,340 including shipping, the subcompact had a singular selling point: efficient transportation at a bargain-basement price. It went on sale in 2013 and U.S. sales peaked at 26,966 in 2019. Mitsubishi, like other automakers, is ditching cars to focus on more profitable light trucks.
