Why isn't an armrest available on the Mirage?

[festiboi]

It's interesting that Mitsubishi went all out with standard automatic climate control, and push button start and proximity key for the ES trim, but no armrest is available, not even as an option.

It sounds silly, but I've grown fond of being able to rest my arm and lean against it on longer, dull drives. It's not a deal breaker if it came time to buy a Mirage, but it's a mystery as to why it's not even offered. The Sonic and Accent have it standard. Heck, even my fiancé's 2008 Aveo hatch has a standard driver armrest on the base model. Do people in Thailand have stronger, more resilient arms than we do?

I noticed it's offered as an accessory in Australia, but the color doesn't match the purplish seat trim on the ES

There is an armrest for Mirage but indeed in black color. I was told by the dealer that it's a very narrow one so it's not even that comfortable. I'm used to put my right hand on the steering wheel and left on the door panel where the window control's placed.

here we can get one as option so if you really need one just ornder them from outside the us.

Will the black really clash with the purple that badly? Perhaps you can use a fabric dye?

I want to say it is because this car was introduced overseas first... and with most folks being right handed they probably don't need an arm rest.

I have the armrest installed. I find it very comfortable and the storage inside is very usable and a welcome addition. I recommend it actually. I can take some pics. If that helps? I too have the purple seats and it fits in nicely. The lid also opens to touch the back seat and has a built in cup holder.

Hmmm ... I might let it installed .... I'll be preparing a few hundred bucks for it.

Here are some pics of the armrest

I still think its placed too high ... oh well ... we'll see how much they will charge me for it

I'm 6ft tall and it's perfect for me
