And who says the Mirage is not reliable?
I suspect if someone's talking about getting a 2021, they would consider a new car as well. I believe in benchmarking a 1-3 year old used car against a new one. Oftentimes, the new one will be the better deal on price, warranty, choice of color and options, financing, and lack of adverse history, especially if a car with high resale value.

This review isn't glowing: https://www.caranddriver.com/mitsubishi/mirage-2021

Look at the resale value projections of a Mirage vs a Corolla. At 10 years, the Mirage shows 42.5% vs 69% for the Corolla:
