But it may get some extra TLC if I change it @ 70,000 miles now (4,700 miles instead of 5,000).

I like 5,000 mile oil/filter changes (give or take a few hundred miles), because it's easy to...

$3.99/ gallon was in Minnewaukan, North Dakota. They have a single credit card pump across the highway from the high school. That's the only gas pump for miles around. There are no buildings...

Maybe the gas pump is rigged in their favor? You pay for 10.195 gallons of gas when you are only getting 9 gallons or something? I joke, but I don't believe they are exact measurements either. ...

Unlike engine oil, coolant is easier to test yourself. If I bought a used Mirage, I would make sure it had the proper coolant. Then I would follow the 90,000 mile or 6-years recommendation after...

I actually watched your coolant change before I saw it posted on the forum, because I am one of your subscribers. :)

If you have the right tools, I think draining the engine block is worth the...

The world would be a better place if everyone used the metric system.

Since 4 liters = 1.05669 gallons, it's really not that hard to compare gas prices. $2/liter gas for them would be...

Schedule 1 & 2 are the same for the engine coolant -

Factory coolant should be changed at 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 96 months (8 years).

Thereafter every 90,000 miles (144,000 km) or ...

In the States, the 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty does not transfer to the 2nd owner of a Mirage. The 5-year/60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty does transfer, however.

What are the odds of a little old lady from Arizona or New Mexico (that drives to church & the grocery store once a week) owning a 2017+ Mirage ES manual? Just thinking ahead! :)

My local ACE Hardware claims they can make a key for most any car. They also have a machine that will do laser cut keys, too.

I purchased an $85 2016 Ford Focus key from ACE Hardware (in...

The remote power locks and transponder chip are two separate items.

Remote power locks require a battery to operate. The transponder chip is a stand alone item inside the unit.

It costs...

Dealers can't sell something they don't have.

Bergstrom Automotive is the largest car dealership (36 different brands) in Wisconsin. They have not listed a new 2022 Mirage this year. They...

Plan B would be removing the one working transponder chip and attaching it near the ignition switch. The original key & any extra you have made would start the car provided the transponder chip is...

"There are just two states that don't require car insurance: New Hampshire and Virginia."

Bummer about the car! Glad no one is seriously hurt!

I would conclude any new version of the Outlander Sport will become a rebranded Rogue Sport clone. If you like Nissan products with a Mitsubishi label on them, that seems to be the way things are...

Due to backup cameras being in all newer cars, I have to believe all radio screens turn on automatically. There's no way around that. I would think the radio itself would work independently of...

It's just a guess on my part, & I didn't quote a Mirage owner's manual.

I have an older simpler factory radio. Everything changed in 2018 when backup cameras became mandatory. Adding screens...

Try this experiment & report back -

"Hold down the radio power button for four seconds. Just pressing it will only temporarily mute the audio, like when you want to talk to someone. To actually...

This is a thread about driving manuals, & we are still on topic! That deserves some credit! :)

I drove one manual vehicle for 14 years without a tachometer. I wonder how I pulled that off? :)

I can't relate to what you are sharing, but I have no doubt it is important to you! I just...

Odd?

I have a 2017 ES, & my radio never turns itself on. Mine would stay off forever, unless you turn it on. I go weeks without having the radio on sometimes.

Bluetooth with my phone,...

It could be something as simple as wheel weight falling off causing one of your front tires to be out of balance. Given new tires is the most recent thing you have had done, I would lean toward...

A brand new Mirage ES manual could have been had for under $11,000 OTD as recently as early 2021.

It's really all relative. My grandpa worked in the iron mines for 16 cents/hour at one time,...

Nice tribute to your Mom!

My Mom still annoys me at times, but I wouldn't trade her for another! :)
