I personally don't feel the base level Mirage is all that basic. It's not the perfect car for everyone, but I am very happy to own one.
I do wonder why the outside temperature reading is not displayed on the dash if the Mirage has a temperature sensor mounted in the car?
I get what you're saying, that's why I got mine as well. Yeah, even the "base" models have features you wouldn't find on similar models, that's why I went with the GT trim. Sure I paid a lot more than most Mirage owners, but find me a economy car that comes with keyless start, climate control, projector headlights and an Android Auto head unit for under even $20,000 without being on some crazy discount sale... I actually don't recommend the Mirage to many people unless they are specifically looking for a car that's super cheap new, or want the best gas mileage without getting a hybrid.
Does your car actually have the outside air temp sensor? I believe it's located at the top of the lower front grill, dead center. I wonder if they turn off the feature in the dash display if you don't have the sensor for it...
