    I am not super loyal to any particular brand, but I've had very good luck with Honda products. That luck goes beyond vehicles. Vehicles like the Corolla & Civic have really grown over the years. In my opinion that growth has created a void in the car market that the Mirage fills quite nicely.

    My former 2000 Honda CRV LX AWD (2.0 L engine with 5-speed manual) revved up relatively high @ highway speeds. Honda engines seem to take that in stride.

    I totally agree... I wanted the fit but its hard to find a manual in LA and as I can see they do not make 2020s in manual in the LX trim. for the price of the Fit sport I got this! MPG is actually a tad more on the Civic!

    I also doubt this will be your last Honda!

    This car was a blast. It was also a pig. I don't think I ever got more than 21 MPG with it. For a smallish, two-door, four-banger, that's kinda bad. It ran rich, too. I don't remember the highway revs being high, however. I drove it from Milwaukee, WI to St. Louis, MO and back. Just small on the inside.

    Are you sure it isn't direct injected? I was fairly sure all the "earth dreams" engines were.
