    Hi, just signed up today.

    hello, I'm new here. Got my mirage cvt hatch last 2015.

    Summary of my mirage journey to 31,000kms

    1. Change oil every 5k kms (5w-30)
    2. Replaced Air Cleaner (engine) at 20K kms
    3. CVT fluid (J4) replaced at 30k kms
    4. Battery died at 25k kms, replaced with hyundai enercell
    5. Tire rotation every 5k kms
    6. Replaced cabin air filter 2 times

    Issues so far:
    1. Clunking CVT when shifting from D to R (no idea why)
    2. Steering vibrates when braking at 80kph+ (I assumed rotor worn out, but very unlikely to worn out at 31k kms)

    Fuel consumption in real world driving = 14kpl ~ 16kpl combined city and highway

    Overall, very reliable and efficient metro car for me.

    Welcome, kulot!

    Sounds like you are looking after your car well.

    Steering vibrates when braking at 80kph+ (I assumed rotor worn out, but very unlikely to worn out at 31k kms)
    Rotors are probably not worn out, but if you have a little corrosion build-up, it will do that. Mechanics here used to turn rotors on a lathe to clean up the surface if warped or corroded, but since Chinese car parts are so cheap, nobody does that any more.
