You hit the high & l...Andy: good, fair review!<br /><br />You hit the high & low points about the car without freaking out & obsessing about acceleration & handling, as many reviewers seem to do (those who are measuring the car with the wrong measuring stick).<br /><br />That said, some owners *are* opting to fit aftermarket suspension upgrades to tighten up handling. A rear sway bar is a cheap & easy fix.<br /><br />Too bad you didn't also get to try the 5-speed. More fun! And the CVT, while surprisingly efficient, always generates the "loud engine" complaint: you stand on the go pedal, the little motor spools up to peak power RPM and hangs there yelling at you while the car accelerates. You don't get that with the 5MT (and it's faster).<br /><br />I'm surprised you didn't link back to your Mirage vs. Metro comparison, since you mentioned the old Geo a few times.<br /><br />And as for that starter button location? It's on the left, like Porsche. So, Mirage is like Porsche. (See what I did there?)<br /><br />:D<br /><br />Darin (nope, not affiliated with Mitsu)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842912983139880043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-4652316363078367132014-02-23T22:25:16.265-08:002014-02-23T22:25:16.265-08:00Okay first off who did you piss off on the PR Team...Okay first off who did you piss off on the PR Team or Fleet Service at Mitsubishi? I mean this stuff just doesn't happen on accident. Second if you had a choice in color what would you go for?<br /><br />As for the Mirage itself, I sat in one at the LA Autoshow and instantly though of the first gen Yaris in the US. Just super basic but I think for what the car is the Mirage totally makes sense. I just wish we had the Colt and not this.murphyseanmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723582893339587910noreply@blogger.com
