5 Most Affordable Cars to Buy in America in 2023

2. 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage   

Starting Base Price: $16,245  

The 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage is gaining popularity due to its fuel efficiency, affordability, and sleek design and is one of the most affordable cars to buy in America in 2023. It’s ideal for city driving but lacks high performance. It features touchscreen infotainment, Bluetooth, and optional Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. In 2023, 5,316 Mirages were sold in the US. It has a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine with 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque, lower than rivals—the Mirage’s standard CVT and front-wheel drive offer modest acceleration.
