I'd still add the bar. I think the car's stock handling is OK in cornering once the suspension takes a set, but "S-turn" combinations are rolly to the point of being hilarious.. and slightly unnerving.
I'm glad the aftermarket stepped up with the rear bar relatively quickly.

Yup!
I hope some day I can get to drive a Geo Metro. There's one at work but it makes me sad because its automatic. The Mirage gives me the quirkyness of a 3 banger with all the new added safety and features of a modern car, as long as the metro owners don't mind I don't mind my Mirage being referred to as the modern metro, I hope holds up as good as the metro's for the long run!
