    Hello AssasinTime14 & WeeShiftWee and welcome to the forum. Tell us more about yourself and how you came to be a Mirage owner.

    The Mirage is a reliable, economical car that with basic upkeep can be expected to save you lots of money over other cars. You made an excellent choice.

    The Mirage does best when at full operating temperature. Consider getting an engine block heater (I use mine year-round) and a quality OBD-II bluetooth adapter to monitor various parameters of your Mirage, especially instantaneous MPG. These two items will pay for themselves in fuel savings and reduced wear & tear.

    Yes, I too would like the details on the engine replacement. Sounds like you're not the only one to have this happen.
