    A pretty good review of the Mirage. Nothing too big to complain about, nothing horribly praise worthy, just a good car.

    Likes:
    - interior space
    - fuel economy
    - price
    - quality / reliability

    Dislikes:
    - body roll while cornering hard
    - CVT not good for 'hard driving'
    - no rear overhead grab handles

    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    Aha!

    Part of that review reveals the writer took part in the economy run I posted about here: Video: Malaysia economy run Jan, 2013: 27 km/L avg; 30.6 kmL top (3.3 LHK, 72 mpg US)

    And the writer of that review (Chips Yap) came in first place with his driving partner.

    Love this pic from their time on the go-kart track:

    Way to make the point about about "body roll when cornering hard".

    Needs beefier sway bars!
