    I like it. Let's face it the mirage is a boring car. I like that Mitsubishi got silly with it.

    I'd skip the oil additives all together and put back in a factory air filter. These "upgrades" do nothing for you.

    It's not like the mirage will rust to pieces without protection, I just observed that they rust faster than any other new car I've looked under. My car has been treated with a few cans of fluid film...

    When I was at the dealer yesterday I had popped the hood on a mirage in the showroom. An old man walked by and asked if I was looking for the gerbils.

    Bought my Starlight silver CVT ES mirage today. $9999 which seemed like a good price to me as that's what the 5 speeds usually go on heavy discount for. Glad to be back in a little mirage!
