    Hagerty: The Most Boring New Cars on Sale Today

    No surprise finding Mirage on the list:

    The Mirage has proven to be a pretty durable vehicle, but the driving experience? That’s as boring as it gets. — Steven Cole Smith
    (Eggman will be happy to see that they also nominated the car that replaced his Mirage. )

    Fun comment under the article:

    While I agree the Mirage is terrible choice for a car purchase, I had a CVT-equipped rental in the Bay area in 2018, and thrashed it around the hills surrounding Big Basin. I set the shifter to Low and threw it into every tight curve I could. The little tires squealed, it leaned like crazy, and the short wheelbase made it a blast to drive. I’d never own one, but it was a great drive.

    HA! Technically, I own or have owned three cars on their list:

    1. 2022 Tesla Model 3 (current daily)
    2. 1980 Jeep CJ-7 (even more boring than their listed Wrangler)
    3. 2015 Mirage ES (R.I.P. Speck, we still miss you)

    I'm not sure who to pity here; either myself or those poor reviewers. I mean, they forgot about the other car in our garage, the 2020 Escape.

    Effin clickbait.
