Congratulations on your new car! Nice photos, by the way. Thanks for sharing. Any ideas or plan on upgrades? How do you plan on using your new car?

I don't think ANY of these come without bluetooth. Are you sure? I have a DE 5 speed in INFRARED. My GF has a DE 5 speed in Sapphire Blue like your car and they both have bluetooth.

Thanks! No major upgrades planned. Maybe minor things, like grabbing a set of the window deflector/awning things so I can vent the windows when it rains, or one of the luggage nets. I have a set of Weather-Tech floor liners on the way for the front seats, and I'll grab the rear ones later. I wish I had the upgraded alloy wheels, the steelies with plastic caps look pretty crappy up close. Perhaps one day I'll run into a set of the alloy ones cheap, and I'll mount snow tires on the steel ones for winter. Can you buy those 14" Mirage alloy wheels?

It's main use will be for trips and part of my commute. My fiancee was not pleased with my airbag-less 1994 Geo Metro for traveling in, especially with our 18 month old daughter. I don't want to beat the crap out of a new car on my 60 mile commute, so I'll likely drive it 2 days a week, and drive the Metro 3 days. The Mirage will have to pick up the slack for the Metro until I repair the drum brakes on the Metro, seeing how they are wore to the point that the parking brake won't hold on a hill, with the parking brake cranked all the way up... Yikes!

I'm positive... not crazy! Haha!

Your bluetooth is on the dash near the mirror controls and Anti-Skid, correct? I saw a couple of base DE models like ours with them in one of the expansion ports in the same area, as opposed to being on the wheel. Those cars also had the microphone mounted on the windshield behind the rear-view mirror. Danielle's had bluetooth as well. Mine doesn't have anything in this spot other than mirror and skid control buttons. I'll get pictures tomorrow. If you check the website, you'll see that bluetooth is an ad-on package on the Accessories page, as the "Bluetooth hands-free kit", available for $235.

Be aware on the Weather-Tech floor liner on the passenger side it's a little too long and can easily disconnect the A/C condenser drain tube which will cause the condensation drainage to leak into the cabin. Trimming the mat would be prudent.

Thanks much for the tip! I'll be sure to check that when installing.

Congrats but indeed you don't have bluetooth as this would be on either steering wheel or the positioning of the side mirrors
