With the start of the academic year, most students are finding their bank accounts stretched, the last thing they need is an overpriced, bland, and fuel-guzzling car. Starting at just over $12,000, the Mirage offers a multitude of features perfectly tailored for our up and coming scholars. Along with the hatchback’s relatively low MSRP, the mirage tops Capital One’s list of “The Most Environmentally Efficient Cars You Can Buy Today” with 6.6-7.1L/100km in the city and 5.6-5.8L/100km on the highway. The combination of low price and unparalleled fuel economy makes for an excellent student car that will not end up leaving a hole in your wallet.
