You could spend $14,295 on a used car, or you could take home a brand new 2021 Mitsubishi MUFG, -0.21% Mirage ES. This pint-size sedan puts only 78 horsepower to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox, but it is remarkably well-equipped for the money.
你可以花14,295美元买一辆二手车，也可以买一辆全新的2021年三菱MUFG幻影(Mirage)。这款小型轿车的前轮只有78马力，通过一个五速手动变速箱，但它的装备相当精良。
That price – plus $995 destination charge – gets you automatic emergency braking that can even detect pedestrians, plus a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple AAPL, +3.29% CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, air conditioning, and power windows. A 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty are standard fare, too.
这个价格加上995美元的目的地费，你就可以自动紧急刹车，甚至可以检测到行人，还有7英寸的苹果触摸屏，+3.29%的CarPlay和Android自动兼容，蓝牙，空调和电动车窗。5年/6万英里的保险杠到保险杠的保修期和10年/10万英里的动力系统保修期也是标准价格。
An automatic transmission costs $1,300 more, while a sedan body style called the Mirage G4 raises the price by $1,000 on its own.
自动变速箱的价格要高出1300美元，而一款名为Mirage G4的轿车将价格单独提高1000美元。
A new Carbonite Edition package this year adds carbon fiber-looking trim and other exterior accents, though these bits are of both dubious value and taste since they cost $775. That’s nearly a 5% markup, so spend your money wisely.
今年新推出的Carbonite版套装增加了碳纤维外观的装饰和其他外观特色，不过这些配件的价值和品味都令人怀疑，因为它们的售价为775美元。这几乎是5%的加成，所以你要明智地花钱。
Still, fully equipped, the swankiest of Mirages runs $18,195, or a little more with extra-cost special white paint. The loaded-up Mirage SE trim level includes alloy wheels, heated front seats, automatic climate control and fog lights, features generally reserved for pricier small cars.
尽管如此，配备齐全的“幻影”中最豪华的一辆售价为18195美元，如果加上额外的特殊白漆，价格还要高一点。装载的幻影SE内饰水平包括合金车轮，加热前座椅，自动气候控制和雾灯，通常为昂贵的小型汽车保留的功能。
That isn’t enough to make the Mirage the cheapest car in America, however. That honor goes to the $13,400 Chevrolet Spark, which is rather more basic. Don’t go looking for standard automatic emergency braking or even forward-collision alerts on the little Spark.
然而，这还不足以使幻影成为美国最便宜的汽车。这一荣誉属于售价13400美元的雪佛兰星火，它更为基础。不要在小火花上寻找标准的自动紧急制动，甚至是前向碰撞警报。
