I actually think he should stay on the forum, buy a Spark and let us know how it goes. And I hope it would go well. I like the Spark. I think it is pretty sharp. But from all indications it is not reliable long term. PD could prove us wrong. I think the Mirage is the overall superior choice at least by T.C.O. But there are things about the Spark I think are better than the Mirage.
Having someone with a competitor vehicle on our forums would be a good thing.
