Mitsubishi just discontinued the car line that I drive [0]. The Mirage was great. I can drive from NYC to Boston on ~10 gallon. The only downsides were: No arm wrest, no sunglasses holder, and the media console won't turn on if you leave the car in the hot sun for a while.

I'm hoping to make my next car an electric car but all of the US ones are massive.

> I can drive from NYC to Boston on ~10 gallon.

NYC to Boston is only ~220 miles. You can drive literally any car there for 10 gallons.

Or did you mean there and back?

I have taken a few cars on that drive. Adding in traffic, I usually have to fill up at the gas station just outside of Boston that has the burger king in it. In my Mirage can get me to Boston, drive around a bit, and usually just need to fill up on my way back.

The Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR was a hell of a car. One of the higher output 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engines there were(175hp). Taking that to its 8200 rpm redline was glorious.

But this isn't the car you're talking about.
