Congrats on the new car. It does look nice.
I think that when fancy-pants car reviewers read, "3-cylinder, 78 hp" their mind immediately lowers their perceived quality directly linearly compared to cars with higher hp. So, for example, if you were to ask those review idiots how much higher quality a (for example) 156 hp (enter any model car here) car is compared to the 78 hp Mirage, they'd knee jerk answer: It's twice the quality of the Mirage. I'm being facetious, but I think that could be how their mind works, maybe not so linearly, but in that direction for sure.
I'm at 39,000 miles. And not one hiccup. I guess I should have bought a $60k Tesla so I could have a higher quality car that saves the planet. Which I believe in both cases is not correct. I think it is possible that the Mirage might be the greenest car in North America, considering Manfacturing and usage.
