I live in the Sarnia Ont region, the Mirage heater is adequate but takes 5-10 mins of driving for it to warm up, and there is a limit with the Mirage like it or not, there are cars with better heating.
You won't freeze lol but it might take once or twice turning over cold start and 5-10 mins to warm up transmission fluid too on the manual.. goes all thick syrup like, and the engine takes a while to warm up my commute is 25 kms and 10 kms or more the car is still warming up.
It's ok leaves love to get stuck in the HVAC in the fall too don't ask me how.
I don't mean to sound negative the Mirage's heater it's OK ha could just picture better. Nothing is perfect or an Audi, Mercedes either
