However, she's 60 years old and has reached the point in her life where she absolutely HATES any change whatsoever, so you can imagine how that is going...
In any case, one of the ways I'm trying to tempt her to start taking the necessary steps is by offering to buy her a new car. This seems to be (somewhat) working, as she is now semi-regularly sending me car articles she's been reading through.
Surprisingly, what seems to be coming up again and again, is that Mitsubishi vehicles handle like garbage, pretty much across the board. The Mirage is definitely pretty terrible from factory. The consensus seems to be that it's the same for their SUV's. Anyone testdriven them and can confirm/deny?
(As a side note the car I'm trying to tempt her with is a Ford EcoSport Titanium AWD. It makes sense for her part of the country, is American made, and happily a little more plush than our Mirages. Also currently selling at ~60% MSRP, which is happily similar to our Mirages.)
All the ecosports I just spotted online are all made in India not America.
