The factory Mirage center armrest is a joke. It's nice to have if you want shift your body in the seat a bit. I can rest my arm on the armrest and hold the steering wheel properly with my other vehicle. The same cannot be said with the Mirage factory armrest. Aftermarket ones look more appealing.
The rear seat armrest is about impressing your passengers in the rear. I've had one passenger since 2017, & that was for a 10 mile drive.
I wish the rear seat in the hatch folded & flipped forward, creating a flat floor in the back. You shouldn't have to remove the rear seats to create a space like that. Cars built 30 years ago were superior to what rear seat on a Mirage does.
I'm always impressed with the big volume of space my Mirage hatchback has.. with the seats folded down. Such a small car with big practicality.
I had a Danby 3.8 cu. ft chest freezer in my Mirage last week. Curbside pickup at Home Depot, last day before shutdown again.
I put it in sideways and I think I could have screwed up the frezeon gas. But still got it in with the trunk closed. Sits more level now in my house, but the non flat back seats is fine. It's so close to flat.
The good thing is that huge trunk that is the height of the car, not a boot. But then visibility is poor chalk full of stuff, and you drive onto your front yard when backing out lol.
