 Had the Mirage for a week as a rental.  Engine is noisy and buzzy.  If you need to pass with the A/C on you had better get a running start.  Handling wallowed on expressway off ramps.  Driving position  very uncomfortable.  Two airline size carry on's would not fit in trunk they had to rest in the back seat.  My Corolla gets 7 mpg less but I would take over the Mirage anytime.  I wouldn't recommend this car to my worst enemy!
