I would rather have a used honda civic or honda fit than a new mirage, there's only so much I can sacrifice for fuel economy and to me the mirage is ugly and under powered.

I actually really enjoy my brothers 5 speed lancer gt
Because I'm old, my worn out joints hurt and I have enough cash to buy another one and a half if I want to, but I only need 1. Like Cowmeat says.

"With my gas money saved, I BOUGHT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a brand new 84 CRX 1.5 for $7k, 31 years ago, serial number 1018 made in July 1983, bought in Houston,worked at the Benz dealership, Intercontinental Motors. 45 mpg for 50k miles.

I remember when the Beatles sang "When I'm 64."

The first time.

Hope your cartilage holds up better than mine there Chrysler Kid, not meant as any snarky remark, it's just true.
