Consider the potential repair costs involved in owning any of these vehicles over an extended period of time. A used EV that's not covered by warranty would have me concerned about possible nightmare repair costs...especially with aging batteries. If you own an EV long enough, you'll be replacing the batteries at some point. I would want to know this cost before I would consider owning an EV for the long term.
The Mirage is fairly simple for a modern car (mechanically speaking). The rear axle is a solid torsion-beam design with shock absorbers. The clutch is mechanical, not hydraulic. The engine is a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder. It uses “old school” multiport injection…not direct injection. It’s not a diesel. It doesn’t have a turbo. It has a timing chain, not a belt. These are all good things for durability and lower potential maintenance/repair costs. There's also a good supply of these cars in salvage yards if you need to find inexpensive used parts.
Based on the amount of driving you do, you could own a Mirage for the next 10 years and never do anything but fluid changes, brakes and tires.
Just one guy's $0.02...
