Depreciation: the Mirage is already confirmed as having higher than average % depreciation: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...eap-30783.html. Good news if you like to wait & buy used cars, bad news if you buy new but don't keep your cars for a long time.
Timing chain: yes
Towing: I would. Curtis makes a receiver for it. |
The Curtis hitch receiver will probably be my first mod.
I liked my Fiesta, but would prefer made in Thailand over Mexico.
I think I'm finished with bikes, since even 50 MPG average makes the 75 mpg bike not worth the injury risk potential. Number 4 in gas cars is a Mirage with all the last almost 3 decades of design improvements.
I might keep the 65 Honda 50, since it requires no insurance and at 137 pounds, I could haul it with the Mirage, when only the wife and I are riding.
3dplane has set a high bar with his 65.3 mpg Mirage.
