12K not that big difference if you divide by the loan installment. Car will also have much higher RV compared to Attrage.
Furthermore, you can get better safety specs. Consider all these factors.

Btw, you can get 5k discount? Last year City stock?

Better safety specs on a City are expensive though...

Why not go local, get an Iriz Premium or a Preve instead? Much safer, parts are locally available, ...

Mitsubishi insults Europe with rubbish cars cheapened for Thailand. But, to be fair, it's also an insult to Thais. And it's not just cheap: the Mirage is crap in ways that don't correlate with cost. Why would you do this to yourself when a children's scooter would be both nicer to steer and less harmful to your image?

Then when it came to Malaysia Mitsubishi removed everything that made it possible for it to reach 5 stars... the Malaysian version would probably be more like 1 or 2 stars.

Lol...there u go, I think to sum it all...its just Malaysian mentality....

Overpriced? Based on what? 1.2l engine? If so...what about fiesta? 1.0l selling at what price???

No steering control? Errer.....some Toyoda ada ada marque car at around that price range also don't have, some don't even have leather draped steering

Looks? Well that's just personal taste

Underpowered? Errr.....have u guys compared its specs? Its no where underpowered.....but yeah ...its not all that powerful....I would say its more than adequate.

NVH? This is very biased...as its all about ur feel....get it tested with some noise indictor on all the cars and show me the facts..any times its all in the head...judgement is almost always clouded by their 1ST impression and perception, e.g PROTON, enuff said...nobody even wanna give it a fair chance even though some cars are better than their Japanese competitor...but hey its a proton everything MUST suck right?

3 piston? Well if u guys know anything bout engine, 3cylinders actually give better torq, and less moving parts to replace...oh and the exhaustxsound from a 3 cyl. Sometimes sounds like a Scooby...nice...

And...the list can go on....so yeah...ppl that do buy the cad r ppl that actually just appreciate the car for what it is...nothing more nothing less...

Er. Europeans hate the Mirage/Attrage too. Some reviewers called it a car meant to punish 3rd world countries.

I agree with underpowered, Malaysians are obsessed with lots of power, when no one is using it anyway. Just push a little harder... more than enough to keep up with traffic.

Where does a 3 cylinder give better torque? What is that statement based on?

Overpriced... based on safety specs for example. An Iriz that costs less is much safer than the Mitsubishi... even the entry level Iriz easily beats it.

European? How to compare when they can get much much much better cars at a price of proton?

Correct iriz is much better spec......in fact iriz is much better than most cars on the road much better than cars in it's class and also cars above its class....but why ppl still buying other cars and not that many iriz on the road....simple...mentality lor..as I mention...PROTON AH....useless one lah..PROTON where can buy geh...its a PROTON! Hence it just enforce my argument.......ppl buy the car base on branding & marketing more than the actual value of the car itself.

Every time ppl ask for a car of that range to buy..I say iriz is a really really good car....ppl just look at me like I'm a retard..and answer ' its a PROTON...puhleaaasseee....how it even b considered!'

Er, in Europe cars are not that cheap, unless you go for a naked car with tiny engine (and not turbocharged or anything), steel rims and no radio or aircon. And several of the decent affordable cars sold in Europe are also sold in Malaysia, say the 208, Fiesta, Jazz, ... .

Mitsubishi is a Japanese brand, sure get benefit of a doubt? Sure people will think it is reliable and everything?

I agree with what you say about the Iriz and Proton in general, but the Mitsubishi just feels a bit sub par. It's not so competitive. Why not get a Picanto instead? Especially if you look at the discounts that are available these days... the only thing missing is the boot, but otherwise it's much more of a car.
