    It's a sad day friends

    We have yet another baby on the way so it was time to say goodbye to the mirages. Both of them.
    I really wanted to keep mine but the only time I'd be able to use it is to work and back and my new job is 6mi from home. Just didnt make sense.

    This is a good forum so I will stop in still if I can.

    We traded them for a brand that seems to be liked here though.

    New Sedona EX. Such a nice van. We actually preferred the ride and feel and quietness of this van vs a new sienna and it was 6k less with more features and a better warranty.

    Really wished I had a reason to keep the mirage but having a third vehicle to maintain, Insure and register is not worth the little drive time I'd have with it.

    Down the road if I need a small inexpensive car I'd get a used one in a second.

    I have no idea how that could've happened. but many congratulations there sir.
    Must be a day for shedding Mirages as mine has gone too.

    The Kia has a decent following here and in Europe because of the warranty period.
    My daughter-in-law had a Kia Picanto 1.25 auto box, Christ, it had some giddy up for a 1.25 and good seating too.
    Somebody drove into the car from the side, result, goodbye Kia, written off, but it was a cracking little hatchback.

    Congrats on your growing family!

    I remember becoming interested in the Mirage during the summer of 2017. Both of my daughters got married that year (August & September). I sort of let the dust settle after their weddings before I took buying a Mirage seriously.

    I was planning to buy a used 2017 Mirage in a year or two, but the $9,000-9,500 deals at White Bear kept tugging at me. I remember watching your 3-part Mirage videos back then. You posted them in September, and I bought my Mirage a month later in October. I didn't connect the dots to you right away, but how many families own two 2017 Mirage SE manuals in the country?

    You may find yourself in a used Mirage some day again. Hope you enjoy your new KIA!

    I wonder if the anti-gravity drive is compatible with our space-stars...

    I'm a Kia guy so glad to know your new car is a sedona, sad about the Mirages...l feel Kia is a solid brand to stand behind though and best of luck to you

    Well this is surely a case of "I've got good news and bad news!"

    Congrats all around.

    You're a great forum member and we'll be sorry to see you go. (Are you signed up at SedonaForum.com yet? Is there such a place??)

    I will still come in to chat. This is a good forum with a fairly laid back crowd
