    I also bought a Mirage because Toyota discontinued the actual Toyota built Yaris for the US. I hate Mazdas so I have no desire to buy that trash. The new Toyota built Yaris is really sweet... not that they'll sell it here... but it seems to be a really nice little car AND they're making performance versions, too!

    Sounds like you dodged a couple of bullets! Old Audis are unreliable money pits. Altima... with a CVT?

    This was a while ago, so likely a 4 speed auto. Could have been a manual, I can't remember.

    One thing that I think is true is that manual trannys make engines last longer. No scientific basis to quote on this one, but time and time again I have heard this.
