    Pink, Purple, Mulberry...whatever

    It's mine and I love it. 76000kms in 3 years and no issues yet. I got it with a set of 195-45-16 mag wheels and that helps it heaps on my weekly freeway runs where it sits on 130 all day even with the air con running. Manual of course.

    Driven by a 50 year old bald bearded guy. Unlike all the others which are being driven slowly by female learners ! I really give this a good workout and it seems to love it.

    Needs to be lowered a bit I reckon.

    Thanks mate. It's a wonderful little car. I didn't really want this colour and I get a heap of smart comments from all and sundry about it. But the dealer sold it to me new with mags and extras it had been a showroom car. $11800 AUD driveaway was a good deal so I took it.

    Yah, $11800 AUD was a smoking hot deal. If you’re interested in having the factory repair manual, pm me and I’ll send you a link.

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. They used to say "you meet the nicest people on a Honda" but you meet nicer ones, by owning a Mirage !

    Another welcome!

    You got a screamin' deal at that price - congrats.

    Those wheels look really great. Are they aftermarket or Mitsubishi branded ones? Those are the wheels that should have been on the car from the start (or at least available).

    They called the colour Mulberry in Australia & NZ, yes? There's one like that running around my neck of the woods. The owner bought the car SPECIFICALLY because for the hue... she didn't know anything about the car and didn't care! Just wanted that colour.

    The color grows on you.. Some well placed vinyl graphics and it's a show car.
    Could you throw in pics from front and back so we can see the wheel stance? More info on those rims please.
    Will weld for beer.

    As far as the wheels go they are the brand Speedy which I think is a local Cheapie brand. But being 16s means more peace of mind when I do 300 freeway km every Saturday.120-130 all the way. Only thing that can give it grief is a strong crosswind. The price you pay for a lightweight I guess.
