    I read that article last night before going to bed. Overall, I thought the article did a decent job of explaining the appeal of the Mirage to some people. It fills a niche other companies are overlooking or ignoring. At the same time, other companies have dealership lots filled to the brim with overpriced vehicles, too!

    Now, I'll have to go read the ignorant comments!

    I don't care what people think about the Mirage. Most who bash it have never owned one. Most have probably never driven one. Quite frankly, I think the Mirage is an acquired taste. I didn't go "WOW" after a test drive. My initial thought was I can live with that! Over time, I've grown to like this little car.

    Nice read, I only wished she would of wrote why it died and how many miles it had. That front scrap doesnt look severe enough to have totaled it out.

    I thought they were some kind of rope seal.

    My first thought - it's not a 5-speed manual.

    Then again that front scrap could have worse damage in the engine bay? Totalling it out.
