I like its efficiency and spacious interior despite small exterior appearance. At first 1000 kilometers, I can take about 17 km/L, since I only take maximum speed of 60 km/h. Then afterwards, I can achieve 21km/L since I always use in in our superhighway, since I can take about 100 km/h. Then, despite small appearance, I was amazed that I can take 5 persons inside, including myself. Other small cars can only take 4.
Then, I was amazed that it was light in weight. At speeds 80 km/h and above, I can feel the wind opposing me. Despite that, it can manage to be stable, on where I want to go.
Regarding the engine, I was curious on 3 cylinder design because my previous car (old lancer '92 Glxi) is 4. And it can make speeds up to 100km/h with 4 persons inside.
Welcome to the site! Glad to have another Filipino member - you guys are among the most active countries visiting the forum so far.
21 km/L is good (that's 4.8 L/100 km or 49 mpg US for people who use other measurements). You reminded me I should add a fuel economy conversion tool to the site... added it to my to-do list.
You may have read that we're adding a "fuel log" feature to the site that will let you track your efficiency. I'm working on that this week.
If you feel like adding a "review" of your car to this section -- Reviews by Mirage Owners / Members -- that would be great. The stats for the forum show a lot of visitors are looking at those, learning about the car.
