Hi all!
I bought a Majestic Red Mitsubishi Space Star (that is how the Mirage is called in continental Europe) 1.2L CVT Intense (almost the most luxurious one) with a lot (EUR 2000) of nice but useless options like blue floodlights inside and load protection on the rear bumper, chrome around the foglights, Mitsubishi plates in the door openings, etc, etc. ! Just finished 4500km so I have made first impressions and fuel economy figures. Before this I drove a Japanese Kei car, the Daihatsu Cuore Premium 3cyl 1.0 manual, which used even less fuel than the Mitsubishi. However Daihatsu withdrew from the EU market, so here I am in Mitsubishi land! Before that I drove Saab 99GL, Saab 900 GLs, Citroën BX 19TRS Aut. Citroën Xantia 2.0 Exclusive Aut. and Daewoo Espero 2.0CD Aut. I never owned more than one car at a time, haha, I am getting old.
As I am divorced, I must pay alimony for 12 years, 10y to go. So the Mitsubishi must stay alive a long, long time. It is therefore very useful to stay tuned on information, which I hope to find here. And maybe some virtual friendships to go along? Who knows
I used to be a normal driver, even sporty at times. But now that I am more mature, I have fun in getting maximum mileage out of a litre of fuel. I learned the trade in the Daihatsu, and now I am learning new things dealing with a CVT. I love it.
I hope this is a nice virtual place to hang around some time and find useful/funny information on.
Cheers!
