    You know you're a Mirage owner when you have a bought-new car from 2014, yet my Mirage has no A/C.

    And you know you're a 2014 Mirage ES owner when you have roll down windows in the back, but power windows in the front. For some reason.

    You know your a Mirage owner, when you offer to give a homeless person in the rain a ride to the shelter, they look at your car and are like "Nah, I'm good."

    Lol, then before you drive away they remind you of what Car & Driver said about the Mirage...

    YKYAMO when you think nothing of pulling a uooey on a narrow road with no shoulders.
    YKYAMO when you drive forward into a parallel parking spot.

    I feel like both of these fit the Scion/Toyota iQ moreso than the Mirage... but the Mirage does have a pretty impressive turning radius.

    It could be worse though
    Have a look here then you'll be glad you chose the Mirage.

    Are Skodas considered unreliable? I imagine cars in Europe lasting alot longer than over here because of the shorter avg distances owners have to drive and the fact most cars are manual transmissions.

    No, that's the point of the ad, to try and get people away from badge snobbery (BMW, Mercs, Jags, etc) and the fact that Skoda's of the 60's and 70's were Fred Flinstone cars, you had to push your feet through the floor and give it legs.

    How do you double the price of a skoda?
    Fill up the tank.

    Why do skodas have heated rear windscreens?
    To keep your hands warm while your pushing it.

    What do you call a Skoda with a sun roof ?
    A skip.

    Funny. Yet I still saw them during my visit in London so someone likes Skodas enough to buy them?

    Try 2018. Same setup.
