Yeah. Well, I agree that many "professional" reviews of the Mirage utterly fail to look at the car in its intended context.
And lap times, yes! One Canadian blogger actually took the Mirage sedan on a race track recently. Just for the LOL's.
Next week: we see how well a Mirage handles the offroad trails at Moab!
But you could also argue I have a vested interest in saying only
good things about it (considering the Mirage Forum).
Plus, don't forget my personal context and how it could influence my opinion: ANY new car qualifies as a ridiculously massive upgrade over my daily driver Firefly. (Aside from fuel economy.) Heck, any 15 year-old or newer car qualifies!
