Hello from Illinois
Hi, I'm from Ottawa, IL. I just purchased a Thunder Gray Mirage ES CVT. It is my second Mirage, 1st one was a 95 S Coupé. The best car I've ever owned, it was an amazingly reliable car (160,000 miles in 3 1/2 years = 0 problems). I hope the new one can live up to it. So far all I can say it is an AMAZING little car. It has plenty of power, all kinds of options, seats my family fairly comfortably and gets great milage. I'm getting an average of 44mpg combined and its not even broken in yet (That's with 4 people in it!). And holy crap, is it good in the snow! The only downsides I have with it are: A. I'm 6'3" 280lbs and people laugh when I get out of the car, lol. B: At highway speeds it gets a bit squirrelly if there is a wind hitting it at an angle, it is like the wind gets under the rear corner and pushes it. Maybe I need to just get used to it or maybe get a rear sway bar? Anyways, I appreciate the forum. It was a HUGE help in making my decision to purchase another mirage since it is SOOO different than the 95. By the way the 3 cyl sounds sweet, an unexpected plus!
