Oh, I took a few pictures of the two Mirages.
Hers is over 30k now...never been back to the dealer except for a steering wheel wear issue.
Purchased in June of 2018 to save fuel and as a reliable daily driver. Installed OEM Cruise and a few little things here and there.
Gets 45MPG with 50 happening fairly often. Enjoyable little car imo.
Nickname is from TMNT.
Day I picked it up vs now
Added the OEM console an hour after I bought it.
OEM Cruise installed.
Some NOS (New old stock) Momo leather shift knob, since i hate the bland stock one.
Working OEM Cruise.

Finally got the cruise switch.
It lights up and has power!!
Here is the part number: (it’s the 14-15 ES+ switch)
Now to get the clutch and brake switch and fire up etacs!
Haven't had any time to finish up the cruise yet or really do anything.
Did replace my shift knob with an aluminum one, not convinced yet that I like it.
Your add-on OEM cruise control's interesting, did you have to hard wire anything from the controller to the ECU or it goes in plug and play except for ETACS?
No, this is all plug and play. You just need to program etacs.
I think any vehicle with audio controls but NO cruise (which is how base 18s are, and some 17s in the United States) will be setup like this with the cruise harness already installed in the wheel.
Check out my thread here for installing and setting up cruise on a 2018!

Also I found hubcaps at a closeout store which I actually like...and I normally hate chrome.
Cruise and a console. It's LUXURY. lol. Sorry, it's dirty. I haven't cleaned it since I bought it. haha.
You can do whatever you like to those WeatherTech floor mats - they can take the abuse.
How would you describe the differences from your Mirage to your sister's 2015? Especially the suspension.

You know, the suspension difference is minimal. At first I thought it was a huge improvement, now I think really it is a better (stiffer) shock. It makes an improvement, but its not huge.
What is really amazing is how much quieter it is and that that extra 6 horsepower is really noticeable.

I periodically drive hers. The main difference is the rear spring, but it still gets easily overloaded and bottoms out, just like her 15.
It's BETTER, but still not great.
I always say: They ride like Buick LeSabres on 4 donuts. LOL.
