So after looking at many vehicles within the good and cheap mpg class. I decided on the purchase of my new to me Mirage. The price point was on target and the one feature I wanted because of the distance I traveled, cruise control was available. I waited two weeks until the right one came along. I traded in my Dodge Ram as I hardly used it per design, though it was paid off. With payment, insurance, and gas I save more money per month than with the truck. I find my mirage has personality although it's like an acquired taste either you love it or hate it. I love it and surprisingly so does the wife and kids, choosing to commute in it over our fully equipped minivan. I look forward to meeting more mirage owners in person and sharing stories.
