2019 Mirage LE
My 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon finally hit the end of the road. It needs a new engine, which I may or may not move forward with. I'm the original owner.
I need a car for my Wife, so I went shopping and found a Mirage.
After 3 days of ownership and with her putting most of the mileage on (The car only has 33,000 miles) I am impressed.
My AWD WRX was/is considered a "rice-racer" high-performance car, and it is (was, anyway).
The handling, performance, acceleration, and comfort of the Mirage impresses me. It is tight, drives GREAT, and has plenty of room and basic comfort, and even too many tech features for a senior like me.
I don't get the bad reviews- "Sluggish, tinny, bumpy, etc". I don't. This car seems like a winner, even after owning/driving a Rally-inspired car like the WRX.
I'm trusting it will be reliable, and I already know it is super fuel efficient.
Time will tell, but so far- Very Good.
Seeing as this forum exists, I guess I'm not alone in the love for this model.
So Hello, and nice to find that this forum exists.
