Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 than in the Mitsubishi Mirage, due to the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300's smaller rear head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mitsubishi Mirage.
