Although the Mirage is quite zippy since very small turning radius, one thing i concerned is the road grip of the car as the tire thread only 165mm wide.
Got a few factors tat pretty much set d grip levels of tires. In d Mirage's case, d Bridgestone EP150 eco tires r meant for minimum rolling resistance to aid low fc, so u can bet d its compound is harder than performance tires thus less tolerance to hard driving.
Even so d test drive was in wet weather, n I find d amount of grip on par if not better than most entry level Goodyear, Dunlop, SimeTire or GT Radial rubber fitted to <RM80K cars fresh from d factory.
good for you..!! well...tell me more about the car...especially the noise from outside mostly engine noise..heard some people say this car NVH worse....some more how about the stock sound system..nice or not...??? anyway...you pick manual or CVT,,??
my is cvt gs model...to me the noise very nice n quiet ady...there is noise but is very less compare to avanza n vios...coz i have an avanza n vois in house...their noise more den mirage
de car is nice handling...n easily up to 100 n u dun notice n ur acc pedal juz press a bit den ady up....today i drive highway from jb to melaka...den speed n handling is nice but i juz maintain at 100-110 oni coz de car still new n under 1K mileage.
honestly tis car is gud for tis type of pricing...if anyone aspect more in term of power, noise or handling better den tis...of coz higher price had to paid...eg car like camry, accord, n many more higher quality n price.
