A bit long winded about things not car related, but a good review of the car itself and its capabilities.

I've never driven the I-5 but I think overall it's a very good review. The gas mileage wasn't all that impressive, but the author said the traffic makes it hard to drive frugally.

hmm, by Murilee Martin nonetheless, not some no-namer from a local newspaper.

From the summary:

The '14 Mirage ES offers absolutely nothing to the car enthusiast -- handling is alarming anywhere near the limit, 74 horses is pretty weak regardless of all the CVT magic you throw at it, and the shape is virtually indistinguishable at a glance from that of the Versa, Sonic, Fit, Yaris, et al -- but it handles transportation duties with admirable efficiency and comfort and comes with a not-at-all-painful price tag .....
I'm sure many Mirage owners will come to love their cars over the years, and lovable is what you look for in this sort of car.

From the summary:

I'd agree with that. Except the real solution if the "CVT magic" isn't working for you is ... get the FREAKIN' manual!
