Hello all. Greetings from Ohio. Purchased my 2022 G4 ES last year and have around 12k miles on it. Bought it for the mpg, rear seat legroom (I have 2 kids 4/7) and looks. (Yes, I like the looks of it). I use it for commuting primarily. I have a UR rear sway bar, konig helium wheels, some factory rain guardsand factory fog lights. In the next few weeks, I plan on tinting the windows all the way around and put on a UR tower bar. I'd have it done sooner but taking the fam to Disneyland. (My family and I are originally from California). I may lower it, not sure yet.

I love older cars but being that I'm in my 40s now, priorities change. I've owned a lancer oz rally, 350z track edition, old vw bug, Chevelle, ranchero, f100, 3 C10, k10, etc etc etc. Currently own the mirage and a 2005 Honda Odyssey.

Glad to be here.

Welcome to the forum!

I think it's a shame that companies like Ford & GM have dropped most of their more affordable sedans. Most families these days own multiple vehicles, and every one of them doesn't need to be an SUV or truck. Profit trumps consumer needs I believe in this case.

The G4 remains a great options for families (you're a great example of this). Sounds like you are enjoying your G4! Thanks for sharing that with us!

Mine is an auto. I've become too lazy in my older years and no longer want to shift gears

That's why I've held onto my van. It has a DVD player for the kids. Although with my car, I have DVD screens for each one on the back headrests. The mirage has some of the best rear legroom of the compact cars. I think the only one that beats it is the Corolla. But the Corolla doesn't get my mpg NA. I can consistently get 45+mpg with my family of 4 in the car
