    Better yet don't borrow money and pay cash because you never did like handing over huge sums of money just to get around.

    After all, it's only a car.

    More silly worse-than-a-Yugo hyperbole from C & D. No suprise there. As was mentioned, it's just clickbait.

    I love my Mirage. It's shortcomings make me a better driver.
    As Eggman said, clickbait. Real journalism, the kind with integrity is as extinct as the Dodo bird.
    All of these clowns owe their souls to advertising revenue..click, click. These days catch phrases, trigger words and outrageous commentary draw the attention of the bored and clickety click click a "journalist" lol, gets paid.
    Will weld for beer.

    I chuckle at dumb reviews. We know the truth. It's a great car. Simple.

    A Chicago area dealer is listing a brand new 2018 Mirage ES (manual) for $8479. Not sure of all the details. That price may include some rebates that some may not be eligible for, but it's still a great price. Several ES models can be found for under $10,000 recently. With the addition of the backup cameras for all the 2018 models, it's nice to still see great deals on the base model of the Mirage.

    If you like driving a manual, that a great deal on a new car with an excellent warranty. If I could add one item to this offering, it would be cruise control. Beyond that, the car would seem loaded to me!

    Most professional auto reviews fail to point out the great deals that be found on the Mirage. The Mirage shouldn't be compared to a $15,000-20,000 cars. When you factor in the available discounts, it's in a market of its own.

    I just personally couldn’t see the value in leasing it as with a limited down payment the monthly payment is less than $189. Just wait for the right incentive.

    I only say this because of the long generous warranty I don’t think you’ll save anything leasing it.

    Honestly look at your local dealer I think I pay $165 to buy it with $1000 down.
