How many miles/kilometers on your Mirage/Space Star so far? (PLUS! Leaderboard)

Hey alex16. How is you car riding and handling? As
a Uber driver I'm sure it sees it's share of bumps and loads. Still track straight and ride smooth? Ever need alignment or balancing (are you on oem tires). Thanks!

[alex16]

Front struts are blown rear shocks are not too good. Rear springs are terrible. My alignments been off from the minor accident. I've never had my tires balanced, I got new tires last week and they balanced the new ones but their machine wasn't any good so I have to go back and get them balanced again. I'm looking for cheap front spring/strut assemblies I can bolt in quickly and stay on the road. If I get new struts for cheap I would.

We are at about the same miles, I'm, at 23,100. Would be higher but I don't drive the Mirage in snow (have 4WD truck for salty road duty).
How does your car do on oil, do you need to add any between changes? I'm impressed with mine how it seems to use almost no oil, and no need to add any between changes.

My 2005 Buick Century with almost 200k miles still has the same 5 quarts of oil I put in it when I change it's oil Power everything still works too!!!

P.S. My 2015 Mirage has 20k Miles now, I got it in October

Hopefully I never have to replace the clutch disc, although I would like to get at least 300k out of this car.

I didn't find it posted anywhere. Alldata shows 6.8 hours to replace the disc, pressure plate and flywheel. Disc and plate show about $400 at Mitsu dealer. Maybe about $50 to resurface flywheel. Most dealers are at least a $100 per hour by me. I would say about $1200 to replace a clutch.

6.8 hours for this small car, now imagine how long it would take to change on a crappy merc?

flatbroke, thanks for posting that clutch replacement info. Going to copy it into a dedicated thread which will make it easier for people to find in the future.

514 miles on it as of this morning

Figured I'd throw this in here, there was a guy on the Yaris forum that was a medical courier in Florida and he managed to put somewhere around 350,000 miles on his Yaris in a period of 3-4 years IIRC. Never gave him any issues, I think he did replace the battery, tires, and alternator.

Simply amazing.
