Well i had my first drive of the Mirage an LS manual
Motor sounds good not noisy at 100klm (60 mph) so thats great.
There is still a bit of road noise evan with our extra sound insulation in the Oz spec cars.
We had a lot of cross winds when i drove the car and it was realy good in this regard not much getting blown around at all.
Seems to perform well, brakes seem good, steering is rather lifeless. Wish the rev cut was about 1000rpm higher as the engine realy seems to get going than it just stops so quick grab a higher gear.
The fuel economy was not real good - avg about 6.4l/100klm (37 mpg US). I reset it on the highway doing 100klm/h and got 6l/100klm (39 mpg US) this is indicated on the dash readout. I don't know what tyre pressures were like and the car had only 33klm on it so hope they get better with some run in use. Temps were around 17 deg C (63 F).
