@OP,

Consider this one? Looks legit to me.

I've seen a couple yeller ones out in their natural habitat. They look dang near as good (to me) in real life, as they do in the sales brochures and online pictures.

Re: automatic climate controls. This is an area where I am glad I am ignorant. I just.... set the temp I want, and it achieves it!? Seems to work the way I'd expect!? I totally get that once you are an expert in a particular area, you notice all kinds of nuances, many of which probably seem obvious. But thankfully I'm a dummy in this area, so Imma just gonna continue to think "neat, I have automatic climate control!" lol

When you set it for your temperature, do you let it keep the A/C on? I'm guessing that you do.

Auto climate controls are standard for all 2014, 2015, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Mirage trim levels. A 2017-19 ES or LE would have manual climate controls with A/C. It shouldn't be a deal breaker for anyone (either way) in my opinion. I say enjoy what you have, too!!!!

If that actually was a yeller with a stick, I would have already put a deposit on it and would be booking a flight to NY...

It's black. No yellers with a stick ever produced for sale in the US that I can tell grrrr

White Bear delivered a 2021 yellow stick to North Carolina for $10,400 OTD & delivered. Erik bought one for his wife. See below -

My guess is Erik qualified for the loyalty rebate, because this was their 2nd Mirage. He may have also received the military rebate to get that OTD price, too.


The issue is they started dropping colors for manuals in 2022, and dropped the manual completely in 2023. So a yellow manual would be a 2021 thing only.

Personally, I liked the previous orange that the yellow replaced better.

@ rohoGames, sorta... I'll tell you what I have figured out about the auto climate controls.. If you set an auto temp, the fan will run to achieve the desired temp, then slow down & speed up to maintain it. The issue is, if it's Ottawa Valley cold out, it won't keep the windows clear as the fan slows down & doesn't keep a lot of fresh / warm air coming into the cabin. If you select a fan speed or temp or select the AUTO off (the AUTO mark will disappear) it will be the same as a manual HVAC, just with buttons instead of dials & the temp displayed on the screen isn't the temp, just where the blend door is commanded. This way you can keep lots of fresh air coming into the cabin with the fan running fast & adjust the temp by bumping the temp display up or down, just the same as you would turning a dial to adjust the temp... This is my findings from -35C Ottawa Valley morning drives to work... , just my thoughts, & make sure you don't have it in "recirc" mode.. YMMV

I love driving manual, I have a manual Camaro already so Idk if I want another one to drive just about every day,

In case it hasn't been said, the clutch in a Mirage probably has the LIGHTEST pedal effort of any car out there. It's ridiculously easy to drive. So I always advise people who are considering getting a Mirage as a commuter car not to rule out 3 pedals. (If you can find one.)

The clutch effort compared to your Camaro would make you laugh out loud.

Good luck on your search!!

Yeah it was the yellow with the plaid cloth you couldn't get here with a stick

Hi, new here,
I am considering the purchase of a 2021 Mirage SE, it already has 130k miles on it. Price is around 10k. What is your seasoned opinion on purchasing with this mileage? What are some things I can check for before purchase?

Thanks so much in advance!

Angie

No. That is a terrible deal. You can easily find a used Mirage under 40k miles for $11k. $11k for a 130k mile vehicle is outrageous, unless its a RAV4 or some other beat to hell Toyota.

[MetroMPG]

Nice find, Dirk!

How about this 2015 with 8k km / 5000 miles on it ...

$12.5k CAD = $9065 USD.

Ottawa, Ontario may be too far away, though. Sorry!

I've been looking at that ad for a month waiting for an appropriate thread to post it in.
