    Uhm ... just u wait till you get your hands on Manual 1.0L Mirage .... Turn on the airconditioning and you will be having a hard time starting the car from stop, or you will lose patient .... The car just don't seem to go forward at all, no matter how deep your gas pedal goes. That is hard driving. No wonder it's not even for sale in US and Canada

    I used to own a 1996 Geo Metro with a 5 speed and 1.0L 3 cylinder. So yes, I am familiar with trying to get the car moving that has no power. A car where you have to plan on when to get on the highway. If the on ramp was short, I would have to drive down the service road to the next on ramp. I know what it is like!!
