    Oh man... I made the mistake of searching Mitsus inventory to see if any dealers close to me had a 2021 so I could go take a look in person, and I found a 2020 5MT ES with Cruise and the big screen for a really decent price and I am having a crisis... LOL

    If they would do me right on trading this CVT I have regretted since the day I got it... hmmmmm

    Even if you sell yours you should still be eligible for a loyalty discount.

    I always like to have a spare tire, but I can live with my non-colour matching door handles, and I can live with the no AC in my Mirage.

    The roll-downs in the back are annoying at times. If one rear window is rolled down, you can't just roll it up. And I have extremely long arms. And the air pressure gets all wonky when only one window is down.

    I'm not sure, but I'm not at all surprised they made AC standard across all Mirages. I'm trying to think of any car that is for sale new in Canada, that does not have AC. Spark maybe?

    The mistake I did was bought a new, no-AC Mirage and then bought the dark grey paint. So I just get baked in the summer sun.

    I could probably get away without ac in the summer but it sure helps in the winter. When I took a work Mirage an hour out of town one time in the cold, the windows would fog up pretty quick with the ac off, unless I cranked the heat to uncomfortably high.

    I think ac is still optional on the spark and maybe the accent. Probably the rio too?

    Kia's are way better than the first generation Kia's. My sister had one of the first ones, 2000 or 20001 maybe, with an automatic and it was a slow car. But then her 2006 Kia Rio ? was really nice and nimble but she traded it in. Not sure why.

    Nope! I love my decked-out Speck, a 2015 ES. With a standard transmission to boot. Can't do that anymore.

    Can't speak for everyone else of course lol.

    Outside of alloy wheels & push button start what other features are missing on a current 2021 ES manual?

    I mean me and you are the same. Our 17 se is manual but we choose to find one that had as many options as possible. Fog lights, leather steering wheel and shifter, rims, push button and keyless entry etc. Im adding in the GT head lights and making a write up for everyone on how to do it without it being a pain in the ass. Also will be adding those heated seats soon enough. My only grip is that mirage has no standard sunroof option. We constantly use our sunroofs on every other car we have.

    Well, a few things. Leather wrapped wheel and shifter, fog lights, turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors, chrome cluster garnish, and that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm exhausted this morning...
