What is your biggest pet peeve of the mirage?
Mine is the jumbo-tron mirrors.
(I still have my passenger mirror removed)
Maybe it's because I'm used to tinted windows, but the headlights of other cars really shine into the car and blind me. My driver mirror is intentionally missadjusted (still usable) and rear view stays on "night" setting
Mine is the horrific, proprietary, dealership-only, pain-in-the-ass TPMS system. Other manufacturers have systems that are soooooo simple and user-friendly. Why do any and all Mirage TPMS settings, adjustments, and programming procedures have to be buried in the software of a $3,500 dealership scan tool??
Gotta either spend hundreds of dollars or stare at that damned warning light for 1/3 of the year.
Dark interior. Even after replacing with an LED bulb, the one small light is inadequate.
Had to have mine reset the first full week I owned the car.Quote:

When using expensive wiper blades with one piece flexible bodies they catch enough wind to lift reducing effectiveness.
The passenger side wiper sticking up in it's odd position.
I put a wiper arm from a late 80s or early 90s imprezza on mine for that reason. (same splines) It does miss a little bit of what the angled one gets, maybe 1-1/2" longer wiper would be equal or 3/4" longer arm.Quote:

I assume you're speaking about Snow Tires? I know that Samsclub does tire swaps with the TPMS for like $40.Quote:

I ain't paying an additional nothing for some light. I have the inspection schedule set up so the oem alloys with tmps on the 15 are on for yearly inspection. Other than that. The old school way works just fine.
The Climate control
I would pay extra for manual controls
