FYI for others reading this:

I just watched all 3 segments. Most people just casually interested in the Mirage won't go that deep, but for anyone actually considering one, it's a comprehensive look at the car's strengths & weaknesses, all while keeping the criticism in context considering it's a $10,500 car with a surprising amount of features.

EcoModders will appreciate the focus on its fuel economy capability (50+ MPG all day long in Pryme's typical driving environment, with little hypermiling effort.)

It's not a fanboi rave. It's a dispassionate, non-snarky look at the vehicle from someone who carefully weighed its pros & cons.

That's more than you can say about the typical auto journo reviews the car has received.

Thumbs up!
