    Bought a 2017 Mirage G4 SE [US]

    Been waiting to get a Mirage since the beginning and finally got one yesterday. Bought a white 2017 Mirage G4 SE. I was really on the fence about the hatchback or sedan decision but when it came down too it, the hatchbacks arent really in stock at the moment and the sedan was the only readily avalible option. I did choose to go with the SE over the ES because frankly, wheels and door panels go a long way when it comes to the look and feel of a car.

    I'll post some pictures as soon as we get some clear weather.

    The only thing left for me to figure out is how I'm going to bolt my FP HTA86BB Turbo up too this 1.2L. Because having a turbo that can hold more litres then the motor it's bolted too, just seems like the way to go about this. J/k :P

    Did you get it at Hyman Brothers? My daughter bought a 16 Outlander SEL there last month. I haven't seen any hatches there yet. There are some at Shirley Slack up my way.

    Ya, I got it at Hyman Brothers Mitsubishi at 11650 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23113. They were great to work with on purchaseing the car. It was an A+ experience.

    They just got one hatchback in but it's the purple color which I am not too interested in. I will honestly say that the wife and I both almost tossed the Mirage idea out the window in exchange for buying one of the new Outlanders. I would say the 2017 Outlander is the first vehicle that has tempted me to trade up my 3.8L 2005 Montero Limited. Both the Sport and full size were really nice.

    But so far I'm really enjoying the G4. I have 110 miles on it and the fuel level hasn't dropped from full yet. So either the gauge is broken or #badass. Surprisingly the car has more pick-up and go then I originally thought and I keep finding my self having to back up off the accelerator rather quickly once it gets moving.

    Very good to know.
    I worked everything out via email & phone for my daughter prior to going down there. Very easy process, and no high pressure sales job when we got there.

    Ya, I'm slacking on the pictures. I got the White car with the light grey interior and two tone door panels. The light grey is damn near white. I would best describe it as a level of white right before it starts to glow or shine. It looks really good but honestly, I really just wanted the two tone door pannels.
