Because of the high gas prices, I was in search of a "gas miser".
But the high prices for a used car with a ton of miles was to me not a good use of my money.
But continued to search online including dealer's web sites. Then I came accross this car.
I knew a Mirage was a car with a 3 cylinder engine. But that was about it.
But it looked so cool in the photos. I had to know more about the cars.
So reading many reviews and watching a ton of videos I started to get hooked.
The "big named" reviews were pretty much negative about the cars beside's it's price and gas mileage
But the "every persons" reviews were mostly positive. At that point I thought to myself I'm going to take a look at this car. It didn't take long after seeing it that I knew I was going to buy the car. Heck I know it won't be the fastest car. But who cares I had driven VW Bugs as a kid. That wasn't because they were the fastest car. But in my mind they were the coolest car. After graduating High School a Buddy and I swapped parts from 2 VW Bugs and built a car ready for the road. We drove that car accross the country (and back) with a back seat full of extra parts. The only thing we needed was to replace the fuel pump crossing the Rocky Mountains. They might of been a slow cars. But we made it to Denver which was 1850 miles away in 36 hours. I'm thinking my new Mirage might be as fun as those Beetles were!
