    Last of the MTs

    Picked up my 2023 ES MT today. I believe this to be one of the last manuals (if not the last) to be sold in North America. Loving it so far - have yet to roll the odometer over 100 kms!Name:  PXL_20230831_205315468~2.jpg

    Darin (founder of this forum) may want first dibs when you decide to sell it!

    Congrats on your new Mirage! The manuals are special & now rare!

    Awesome! Now get that underbody winterized before the salt season! It would be interesting to know just how few MT Mirages were shipped to Canada for 2023. Could not have been very many. My guess would be less than 100. Enjoy your new and rare ride!

    Nice!

    My advice: Get corrosion protection asap before winter! That way there won't be any traces of rust that need to be treated before undercoating and painting the underside. Get all cavities waxed. The doors only need cavity wax in the seams.
    That will save you much more $$$ big time than it will cost!

    Nice, even got the fancy white color! I looked on the Mitsu Canada site and they already removed the 2023 Mirage from the lineup, 2024 only.
    I don't know a soul that's had rust proofing done to a vehicle in these parts. Things rust here but not as quickly as rustopia I suppose.

    Was screwing around the other day and found this on the underside of my shift boot.
    Wonder if its possible to find out what day they actually shut the m/t line down you could know for sure.
    My car was built 11/14 per the door plate so in this case the date reads November 9th of 2014.
