We have. I hated the gearing on the Cruze 6MT.
But then that's more a problem of poor intermediate gearing than top gear.
The Mirage 4-door configuration (and eventual sedan) as well as its short gearing are dictated by market wants.
I've finally gotten to drive one on 15s and with an anti-roll bar, which is what you're likely to get. Fine vehicle. Still not as agile as the Spark, but a fine car nonetheless.
