LIKES TO DRIVE STICK! Awesome.

Also, manual Mirage drivers are beating CVT drivers at MirageForum.com, despite the higher EPA ratings of the CVT:

CVT - 27 cars: 42.1 MPG (US) = 17.9 KM/L = 5.6 L/100 km = 50.6 MPG (UK.)
5-spd - 33 cars: 44.2 MPG (US) = 18.8 KM/L = 5.3 L/100 KM = 53.0 MPG (UK)

No surprise there: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ing-27416.html
