    Biker Convert

    Hi!

    This is Mark, i'm from the Philippines. i have been riding motorcycles for nearly a third of my existence on this planet.

    Recently i am able to get my hands on a brand spanking new Mirage G4. i did not expect much from it considering the car's limitations based on its configuration-which is my primary reason for acquiring it. Budget-wise, it suits me well and serves its purpose of moving myself and my family safely and economically.

    Looking forward to great memories and experience being a recent 4-wheel convert.

    Hello Mark

    I ride a Motorcycle most of the time as well. But here in Syracuse the winters are Rough. So from the end of November to April I have been driving a Jeep wrangler. Problem is that the jeep never gets better than 15 MPG. So I purchased a new Mirage two weeks ago. The thing gets the same gas milage as my motorcycle. Has more pickup than the jeep. I have seen reviews bashing this car. But I can't understand why. My poor Motorcycle has been sitting in the driveway rejected.

    I know what you mean. I became a much more "fair weather rider" after I got a Mirage. Which begs the question why are new motorcycles so darn expensive when you can buy a brand new car for less--far less than many bikes?

    Welcome, Mark!

    Will you miss the bike? I've had one motorcycle - a Ninja 250. Sold it after a couple of years when I concluded it was competing with my bicycle for local trips! (I live in a small city where biking is a viable way to get around most of the time.)

    Howdy sir and welcome! I know exactly what you mean - I rode a 1999 Honda Shadow ACE up until I bought my Mirage. My Shadow sat neglected ever since. Now I'm selling it (if anyone is interested around here.... )
