Some people want to become speed-crazed monsters when they get behind the wheel. After all, how else can you justify cars and SUVs that routinely boast more than 500 hp?

So, in a market obsessed with technology and performance, we look at the Mitsubishi Mirage, one of the very last affordable, low-power vehicles you can find.
