Hi MacClyver. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on a few things about Mirage's. I know you are saving your car from wintertime, but one thing that shines with my 2014 Mirage compared to my old '97 Escort, is winter handling.
They have moved leaps and bounds with handling tech... that makes a HUGE difference in the winter. Above everything, that is where the Mirage is better subcompact than the classics like your Metro or my Escort.
