Just trying to nip it in the bud ... friendly reminder.

It wasn't just your post.

Further: it's in Quebec, where winter tires are mandatory.

Hey, no politics.

Spend $5k for a car!??

That's crazy talk. :D

It's the right year & trim though. And a nicer colour than we've been seeing lately. If we were living in Normal Times, it would be slightly...

$4995 for a base 2015 5MT with only 23,000 kms = 14k miles!

That's a crazy good deal for what's basically an "almost new" 6 year-old car.

Montreal area.

Your '89 had power mirrors?

My Firefly (Metro) is so bare bones (how bare bones is it!?), it doesn't even have a switch on the passenger door jamb to turn on the dome light. There's a blank where...

When I test drove a Mirage, I asked myself if I was worthy.

50% more power than I'm used to!

LOOK AT ALL THESE #*$&% AMENITIES! Ooo, what does THIS button do??

Rides like a Cadillac!

Prius CVT is absolutely more reliable than a JACTO CVT, and arguably more durable than a conventional automatic. No belts - it's a planetary gearset design. Arguably even more reliable than a...

That's funny - I was thinking the exact same thing the other day (ELR). But then I realized, unlike the Volt platform it's built on, the Caddy isn't a liftback, even though the roofline kind of...

Nice work. That's dedication to remove it from the car do to inside during the winter. I usually just wait until spring for my annual car clean-up.

Yes. I located a large convex mirror on the inside of the door.



Yes, for drag reduction. For some reason I only had one 14" hubcap in my pile of junk, and I haven't gotten around to...

Spotted this tidbit at Jalopnik today...

The Prius tops the list of cars that people keep the longest in the U.S.

^ I drove a neighbour's once. Much nicer looking than a Prius, and still capable of amazing MPG.

He actually traded it in for a Outlander PHEV.

Yaris!? Didn't Toyota can it? I think they did. Maybe they're still unloading new leftovers?

Cray zee.

They're just trying to get people used to paying CUV/SUV prices ... so when they discontinue the Mirage in the next year or 2, there will be less sticker shock at the price difference...

I still love mine.

Haven't driven it in over a week, but I had a realization today: I'm probably never buying another $1000 winter beater. :D

For many years it's been my pattern to buy a...

2014 top spec 5-speed with 152k km = 94k miles.

The factory rear "spoiler" definitely helps aero. Mitsu even tweaked it slightly between model years to optimize it further. (I think on the 2017 and up cars).

Update!

No progress.

One video posted on Dec 25, 2020 had a brief shot of the modified Attrage/G4/Xpander near the end ... still looks very much like a work in progress.

Sunroof! Looking forward to the details.

I'm a fan. I used to specifically buy one car over another because it had a sunroof.

Time for a time out for this thread.

I definitely appreciate that people are keeping this thread civil even as it veers off track and gets more political, but there are other forums out there...

Wowee.

Mine ticks for a minute or two when cold, but not that much. That sounds like they forgot to tighten a few things while putting it together.

Nice platform.

SUM!

Mirage #2 came with a hitch - "Hidden Hitch". At some point this year or next, I'll be removing it to use on Mirage #3, so I'll have a...

New Mitsu ad tag line?

"You meet the nicest people ... in a Mirage!"

Belated welcome, 2016 Versa!



I've always found that strange, because the Versa absolutely DOMINATED the subcompact segment in the U.S. for YEARS. And by a HUGE margin! In some individual...
