"poor mpg"
Latest fill: 54 MPG (US) / 4.4 L/100 km. Not my best performance!

That's what happens when I drive the car more like a normal person.

First 70+ of this year
First 70+ (indicated) round trip of the year...



The usual uber-ideal conditions: Granny driving on deserted back roads in hot weather, little wind, dead-stick coasting to stops & turns.

And this summer marks my 4th anniversary with this little car. Just passed 190,000 km = 118k miles.

And I think I'm starting to hear a front wheel bearing hum...

My brother-in-law just bought a 24 mirage brand new he loves it so far. It's a business car so kind of makes sense. I was going to buy one couple years ago but I could not find a manual and I just don't want to drive other car that's automatic, and I really dislike the CVT transmissions. I don't think they're terrible I just hate the idea of a machine doing everything for me in the name of good, let me drive the car
