My thoughts on my new Mirage so far.........
I bought my 2014 Inferred DE with the CVT on 4/14/14.
So far I put 1200 miles on it being I drive it 100 miles round trip to and from and work.
What I love about it so far....
It's not a bad looking car , I think it's looks better than the bad reviews I've read on it.
I added a few graphics , pinstripe and changed out the wheel covers to black so it brought the car out even more IMO.
Fun to drive.....
This is the smallest car I ever owned but it's the best fun car I've ever had when it comes to driving it, love weaving in and out of traffic , I love to rev it up from time to time, love the sound of the little three banger, something about it, weird really being it only has 74 H.P
The interior.....
I'm 5' 9" so it fits me really well, most of the roads here are new so it's a big benefit for me, I don't have to worry about pot holes, on my drive to work I drive about 4 miles in town, 18 miles on the highway and 28 miles on the interstate and it hard to feel any difference no matter which area I'm in.
The price....
Under 13k for such a fun and practical car for me.
Gas mileage....
Driving a fun car makes me happy but getting an avg. of 48.5 MPG makes it that much better, the other day I hit 52 MPH, now if that don't make you feel good then I don't know what would.
My truck took on avg. about $20.00 each day to work and back, my new Mirage takes $25.00 every three days plus I still have gas left in the tank.
Warranty.....
10 year, 100k warranty, are you kidding me, that was something else that sold me on the new Mirage.
Things I'm not crazy about....
The small 14" wheels
Slow on take off but getting use to it and learning how to rev her up which is where most of the fun is with the car.
No arm rest, an arm rest would be really nice to have on a 100 mile trip each day.
Overall ....
The pros easily out weights the cons.
I'd recommend the all new 2014 Mirage to anyone who wants a fun little car that's great on gas and fun to drive.
Please don't put to much into what reviews you read because I just don't see how they can say so many negative things about this 13k car.
