Clearly you do not subscribe to any of the major US car review magazines. :D

Traded a Beemer, eh? I feel like we need to know more about your automotive decision-making.

Glad to have you here...

That bites.

Glad there were no injuries. What the heck was the driver behind you doing?? Did they say anything?

No pics...

100k kms = 62k miles with a cracked windshield in Toronto.

Welcome!

Sounds like you dodged a couple of bullets! Old Audis are unreliable money pits. Altima... with a CVT?

Ha - OK you win for using search better than I can.

Honest, I actually looked before I started this thread and that thread didn't pop up.

Never mind, people. There's already a good thread on...

Ha - I went looking for the DRL fuse (my manual says it's in in the same under hood fuse box)... and there ain't one there. I wonder if the heater fuse/relays are actually there.

Pretty close, yeah.

The green temp light goes out when coolant temp hits 137 degrees F.

The resistance heater may be on until it hits 167 F.

It'd be nice if it had an over-ride switch.

Another reason to get a block heater / use your cabin heater judiciously (before the coolant warms up):

I don't have anything specific about lurkers. The stats show "returning" visitors vs. "first time" visitors (or those who don't save browser cookies).

In the last 30...

^ It's an outright amazing deal when you consider the new cost.

When new, mine was $15,898 + $1450 mandatory freight charge = $17,348.

Yours was that plus $1200 more for the CVT.

And that...

Yes - snow tires! I forgot them on the list.

Yeah, maybe not obviously via a dedicated health tax (like Ontario's "health premium"), but we all pay as a portion of federal income taxes.

^ motivation to get a block heater for mine soon.

I don't cover my cars for collision or loss either - just 3rd party liability.

The Mirage is 37% more expensive than the 1990 Miata - $605 for the year vs $441. The Metro/Firefly is $496.

And you never will! We don't have pennies up here any more. We recognized money-losing sentimentatlity when we saw it, and got rid of them. Maybe there are a few old ones floating around down...

First 6th gen Mirage IN THE WORLD* past 450,000 kilometers!

Send me that front quarter panel. I'm a pro at paintless dent repair, and alll I use is wooden kitchen utensils.

"getting the tired rotated..."

For a minute I thought you were going to say, "getting tired of this car."

That's hilarious. Please tell me you made that up! (The description, not the issues with Fiats.)

Tuck tape is the best!

I wish they made it in black.

Funny thing: I have the impression the Echo was a quality-built machine. The used ones I've driven (~10-12 years old with 120k+ miles / 200+ kms) have been tight and rattle-free.

Guess what? I...

$2400 plus tax for my 2014 top trim 5-speed with 90k miles / 145k kilometers.

When new, this model was $15,898 + $1450 mandatory freight charge = $17,348. With Ontario+federal taxes: $19,603. ...

True! But I never keep my winter beaters very long.

I buy 'em cheap (as-is), do the needed repairs, and drive them for a winter or 2, then tidy them up and sell them. I usually break even or...
