2014 Mitsubishi Attrage

Sub-compact - Sedan

​    With a final score of 52%, the new Attrage is better off than most sub-compacts.  Mitsubishi needs to lower the height of the car and add in some hard edges.  With these changes the Attrage should be able to attain a 70% score.

        The Attrage has some big shoes to fill, since the Colt was a true tuner car.  Since the Colt was a true tuner car, the Attrage needs to inject a bit more fun into itself.  The biggest thing which plagues this model is the fact that its overall stance is way too high off the ground.  By dropping this car, Mitsubishi could improve the appeal of this car.  Of course there are still many more things which could change.

        Mitsubishi should lose the cheap discount store front air ducts, which decrease the value of this model.  By cutting in the ducts and adding in the same grille style, they could improve the image of the front end of the Attrage.

        One of the worst things next to its stance is the fact the side of the Attrage seems to curve under the car.  This creates a bubble effect and increases the height of this car.  By flattening out the side sills, Mitsubishi could improve the sport appeal of the Attrage.

        Overall the Attrage is a decent car, but still has lots of ground to cover if it ever wants to make up for the Colt.
