I like those little cars. Thanks for joining us. Does the CVT version offer a tachometer on the dash? How high does it rev climbing steep hills and such?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

I was waiting for someone to make that observation - I didn't see any recommendations for debburyl to go away, only a couple of references to sites he should ALSO check out IN ADDITION to ecomodder.

No negativity meant or implied, that's what I saw.

You've had your Mirage for a few months now debburyl, how are you liking it? Any significant observations you'd like to share?

Also, I'm +1 on the roof rack. If it isn't glued down with troll snot, peel that thing off and tuck it in the garage until you actually need it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I really like my mirage. No problems. On the wheels I was getting the ones for the Es. And the roof rack I was going to put it on only when I needed it.

THe poster has done a great deal of research on the car you are driving and was merely giving you another source of information on your new car.

Ecomodders, in general, drive older cars. You are probably the first poster w a 2014 Mirage.
They were simply trying to provide you with as much information as possible.
thank you, very much.I did try some others. And I do like other older car's. I had a white festival that had over 200,000 miles on it thanks agaie
