Hi from Kansas City

Hi,
I'm Tim from Kansas City.
I bought my Mirage 2/8/2016. It had 24 miles and some change on the od. In 3 days it has 282 miles.
So far a great lil car. Not seeing what all the bad press is about. I am beginning to think they never really drove the car except in a parking lot.
The bad that I could find. 1) take off from standing start sucks. This is where that 11.5sec. 0 to 60 time comes from.if you can eliminate that. It's a 7 to 8 sec 0 to 60 all day long. Which would be pretty respectable.
2) going into corners @ speed sucks too. All in the name of power to weight ratio some things were curbed or maybe to keep speed demons like me from driving to fast around corners. And that my friends is it just 2 things.
If your not afraid to romp on this thing, it will move. And gets going fairly quick. It doesn't get bogged down in traffic nir feel like a death trap on the hiway.
Thus is a fun lil car to tool around in and I for one can't wait to start tinkering with the suspension.

Congrats on the car! What were you driving before, and what else did you consider?

Tightening up the suspension is a popular first mod. Don't forget to make a garage page:
Garage empty: add car

Welcome to the site. Suspension mods are a great place to start.

Darin, I have a 2007 Dodge GrandCaravan. 3.8 engine.
I considered a Toyota but in the end the warranty won out on everything.

I have the Cvt.

I have the Cvt.

If 0-60 is a sticking point B (engine brake) also works as sport mode, but MPG will suffer.
