    Hi from south east england

    Hi guys,
    My name is Emma and I live in kent, south east england.
    I am a new mirage 3 owner have owned Mitsy for 6 weeks now and love her!
    In my 25 years of driving she is the smallest car size and engine wise i have ever owned and have just downsized from a landrover.
    Main objectives for downsizing were money saving ones which so far are all good especially fuel and no road tax!!!!
    Looking forward to chatting!!

    Well, that makes two of you who've done the same thing recently: Thread: Hello from the UK.

    Hi all and yes how strange.
    For the mileage i do these days it was silly having a large car and whilst we started looking at other large cars and 4x4s i thought time to be sensible which my husband didnt think i could do and mocked me at showrooms especially when there was a huge monster on site. I looked at lots of smaller cars and saw the mirage and fell in love with its quirkyness. It looks different and drives nice. I made a point of test driving in the rain. I used to forest rally many years ago and yes did read JCs review but hey what does he know! I love my car and love driving it i can park in the weeniest spaces yet it feels so roomy inside. All my friends and family love it and want one and yet ive never seen another on the road so lots of people look. I guess it helps to look sporty being black with blacked windows and ive got sporty yellow bumble bee seat covers like to old honda civic jordan.
    Seriously in love!

    Forest rally! Sounds wild. Was it a rally focused on speed? Seems trees would be a problem...

    Welcome to the site, and congratulations on your new car.

    Did he actually review the Mirage?? On the telly or in print? I never saw it.

    I believe that they had a pretty scathing review on topgear.com, but I thought it was put up by staff (no byline).
