Enhancement Requests: how would you improve the Mirage?

[zefke]

For sure. And somewhere on the MID that you can always see (not have to cycle through to get, like on my smart fortwo).

I don't mind cycling though the display options, but the posistion of the switch at the dash is indeed annoying. So one other improvement would be to have the display switch at the steering wheel. That would be what? A 5 cent extra?

That's a good call- an easier access button would make a considerable difference.

Also- either quieter fans (HVAC) or a more effective defrost.

I spent the majority of winter driving in the Mirage with the defrost on high, which is crazy loud.

My wife and I would add a moonroof option, and I would remove .2 liters from the engine

Moon roof, heated seats (already available in Canada), center arm rest (available in some countries) and memory seats.

Might make a good Eco-Luxury package.

Mitsubishi is aiming this car at a basic level. Low cost and high mpg are the big feature selling points. They've already added a ton of desirable features and kept the price down. I'm not sure how much more they can do and still keep the price point below the competition.

[cookiemonster]

That's true ... I'd swap the .2 liters for the moonroof

So, just to get it straight, you would want a weaker engine AND put a heavier roof on the car. Sounds legit.

rear sway bar
2 door variant
turbo 1L
AWD

[cookiemonster]

Yup.

If I wanted a powerful car, I wouldn't have gotten the Mirage

[kerc]

This car begs for a performance version to take advantage of its light weight. Firmed-up suspension, lower it by an inch or so, 15" or 16" wheels, and maybe even tweak the engine to eke out a bit more hp.

Id like a shortened 2 door variant, 2 seat variant. I just wanna see how small they can make it

[IchabodCrane]

I would like the addition of "talk to text" function to the already impressive bluetooth/phone setup.
Less backspacing of the wheels for a more flush fit to the body.
Remove the cheezy rear side reflectors/add a bit of side wrap to tail lights instead for legality.
Colored side indicator lenses (amber).
Shark fin antenna.
Rear disc brakes.
Yeah I know... the list is gettin $$$
