I've seen dozens of these cars in accidents. Lots were t-boned(one by a garbage truck doing 40mph), one was hit so hard(by a Dodge Journey) it sent the car sliding sideways and barrel-rolled over a fire hydrant breaking the engine and transmission. Cars were totalled but drivers were fine, just shaken up and some had bruised shins from the knee bolster airbag. I wouldn't want to be in a head-on or hit a moose but that goes for any vehicle.
Little cars in general are the Rodney Dangerfield of the road. They get no respect!
The resale value for these cars used to be pretty bad before 2020. Now I'm seeing 10 year old Mirages listed for what they cost new in 2014.
I kinda miss when there were less suv's and trucks on the roads and you could see through the car in front of you. But I do prefer the view I get from sitting up higher in my Delica than sitting on the ground in my Mirage.
