 After much debate and research I decided on the mirage as my new car .. My top reasons being gas mileage, cuteness and color.  I've had it for 6 months it has driven over large branches in the road, huge puddles and handles snow like a pro. I've tried making it slide without luck. 2 large adults fit comfortably in the front seats .. There is a substantial amount of cargo room in back .. And I have zero issue whipping past other vehicles.. The fact that it doesn't make the loud Vrrroom noise of other cars is misleading .. It goes .. Just quietly. Absolutely love my car and can't wait to take it on more road trips!!  I got hit hard 2 days after purchase..Kept all occupants safe and fought back
