    I posted pics of 2 different style storage bins that work perfect in the small cup holder. One is the Buddy Dock Bin for $49.99 and the other is the Rubbermaid Automotive Cup Holder Storage Caddy for $12.00 and both are on Amazon. Both give great storage room and look almost factory and are the exact width of the center console. The buddy bin is adjustable back and fourth and tightens and has rubber circular rings to slide over the part that goes into the cupholder to make it super snug. The rubbermaid one has rubber on it too and fits super tight. Cant go wrong with either.

    Dirk - I find the Mirage fairly comfortable. My 2004 Corolla 5-speed was comfortable too, but it did have an enormous reach to the steering wheel. It was if it were made for the little old ladies who like to drive with their chest against the wheel and their nose on the windshield.

    My old 2004 Outback wasn't comfortable for me either but that probably has to do with me being 50lbs overweight than anything else.

    Do you like the fold down armrest? I sat in a newer Mirage with one and it felt good but I couldn't quite adjust it to be 180° it dipped just slightly down.

    Yes I do like it. If you lift it all the way up then put it all the way back down until it clicks then you can keep lifting it slowly to the position you want it and stop and it stays there. It adjust to several levels for different seat angles. Its comfortable for me.

    Class act, KevMcKenzie!

    I agree, this community is top notch. We have our moments, but for the most part people are friendly, helpful & more or less try to keep things that way.

    I came real close to putting on the lil Mitsu rascal decal on but I was nervous about it flicking the driver behind me off. I figure I'm already pissing drivers off with my 78 HP LOL
