    It's not pink!!

    It's plasma purple. We bought our 2015 hatchback last August after I ruined the engine in our previous car in flood water. Insurance covered pretty much of the cost of the Mirage since the car was totalled. I found this beauty (pics to follow, maybe) after an online search for a fuel efficient car with a manual transmission and not a ton of miles (73k). We got this car shortly after the Barbie movie ran, so naturally we got "Barbie car" comments. In spite of the color, which I am warming up to, I have grown to really appreciate this car. It's about as simple as it gets in a modern vehicle. The most consternation we had was figuring out the radio. But to be honest, car radios have always been a mystery. And it is surprisng spacious. We can fit two adult bicycles inside, with the wheels off of course. I did not think that would be possible until I tried it.

    Welcome to the forum Donald K. Got any questions about your Mirage? It should be easy to find in a parking lot.

    I might debate "the plasma purple is not pink", but welcome to the forum!

    Welcome to the forum! The Plasma Purple is a pretty rare color these days along with the Green color. Enjoy your new to you ride. If you need inspiration what's possible to haul with our little cars here is a thread.
