Ha! I laughed when I watched the review video: because AutoGuide.com is Toronto-based and they're pretending to review an American Mirage ES here. He's actually driving around a Canadian market Mirage SE. (Note the speedometer units, the seat heater buttons, and a few other giveaways like the Ontario plate!)

Not that it makes much difference, really. But still, why pretend, guys?

I'm calling BS on "uncomfortable" too. It's overly subjective, as proven by other reviewers saying it's just fine, comfort-wise.

Added the YouTube video to your post. Also a link to the YT comments.

Every reviews comments are the same. Half the people love it, the other half hate it. Makes me even more excited to see the 2016 refresh

Comfort is subjective.

Also, the super-soft springs and the 65 series tires give all the comfort in the world. The car feels like it's riding on air.

A "terrifying experience", "clenching with fear" when trying to pass others on the highway? I disagree, I think it has plenty of power to pass, and it does so without breaking a sweat, in my experience.

"harsh ride"? I agree with Ares, it has one of the softest rides I've ever been in.

Is this self-appointed "expert" reviewing the same car I purchased?
