Mitusbishi’s 2024 model year Mirage is the second-worst vehicle in this ranking, only outmatched by the poor showing of Jeep’s (STLA) 2024 Wrangler. The 2024 version of the compact car has a 38 overall score, driven down partially by its 1/5 score for predicted owner satisfaction.

The Mirage scored poor scores for Consumer Reports’ tests for emergency and routine handling, braking, acceleration, and transmission. It’s also an extremely light car, coming in at just 2,048 pounds.
No matter how many safety features a car has, there’s no escaping the realities of physics,” Consumer Reports Auto Test Center manager of safety, Emily Thomas, said in a statement. “In a crash with a larger vehicle, a smaller vehicle is more likely to bear the brunt of crash damage.”
In some good news for the Mirage, it did score well on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s tests. The Mirage achieved top marks on the institute’s original moderate overlap front and side tests.
