It really be the nicer car to drive than the manual. You can really feel the transmission is way under stressed a little light throttle and it changes ratio you can feel it pull you along with...
Yeah the CVT is really nice on flat highway even at 64 mph, better than the MT in this specific scenario IMO. More like “set the cruise control on and forget it. Enjoy the cruiser.” The CVT acts like...
I am LOOOOOVVING the smooooth ride in the CVT, suspension is so well refined, and it's not so noisy, I'll be getting the car insulated, my goal is to make the Cadillac of mirages... And do some...
I think my biggest annoyance is that everyone hates these things on the road. I had a corolla with a roof rack flexing their 100+hp this morning. I was already speeding, no other cars on the road and...

I was playing around today wondering how many miles I have left on my tires. Temper this with the fact that we are pretty much on 100% clear roads year around down here in the southeast. Sometimes...
Some pictures of a standard 14" wheel placed in the spare wheel compartment (2015 Mirage).

So the sway bar link bushings I used when I installed the Daox bar 37,000 miles ago are in bad shape. Could be due to the Krown spray. I say this becasue the forward bushing which...
Basic - That's the blue one, right? Usually the blue ones have approximately 0 problems. Since they're the Top Gun Mirage build units. ;) But your blue one did a good bit of autocross, as I...
This place was a prominent port and military facility during the Civil War. Ulysses Grant set up his headquarters here early I'm the war, during 1861. There was one minor skirmish between...
