    I know there are at least a few others members with purple cars. Interestingly, around where I am in Indiana I see more purple Mirages than any other color. Of course, that might just be due to they...

    Supposedly the factory installed oil filter is quite difficult to get off, so it might be worthwhile to pay someone. After that, you're right, it's kinda crazy to be changed $50 for an oil change...

    I think the most I've put in was 8.15 gallons, and that was after the gauge was doing the full flash for 20 or 30 miles. I believe the tank is supposed to hold 35 liters (9.5 gallons).

    Oh how I...

    Looking through the numbers a bit more, its the combination of passenger space and luggage space that determines the category. The Mirage has 86 cubic feet of passenger space with 17 of cargo space,...

    Yup, they classify it as a "compact" car.

    Go to the "Specs" tab:

    The Audi A3 and Chevy Spark are both listed as subcompacts despite...
  8. A/C tested at 65 MPH

    Since I have a long, fairly flat and boring highway commute I decided to do some testing. After getting onto the highway I reset my manual Mirage DE's fuel tracker and changed the car into one of the...

    1. Analog fuel gauge, the digital one is worthless when there is less than 2 gallons in the tank.

    2. 12 gallon fuel tank so those of use with long commutes could fill up every three days instead...

    I still don't why some reviewers are obsessed with their dashboards being made of a soft material instead of 100% functional hard plastic. Perhaps there's a whole sub-culture of dashboard fondlers...

    I do 1000 km a week on a highway that has a 104 KPH speed limit (65 MPH). I usually drive the speed limit and the Mirage has no problems at those speeds. If you're planning on zipping along at 135+...

    I'd give it a few thousand miles before deciding on whether or not to get a rear sway bar. For the first 1000 miles, the squirrelliness was really pronounced, but now at the 3000 mile mark I hardly...

    I bought the base model/stick with bluetooth a few weeks ago for around $13,700. That included Indiana's 7% sales tax, destination charges, factory rebates, and misc. paper handling fees. I put $5000...
