You booked the mirage? did you test drive? how was it?

I would be extremely surprised if this tiny car came with multilink and disk brakes

How's the slight delay? I remember driving a Myvi once and while making a slow U-turn the EPS was stuck in "heavy" mode

Which showroom? I also wanna test drive wei

Is it opened tomorrow?

Replied

Different color different price issit? like metallic vs solid

Maybe pricing not fixed yet lor...later gonna drop by the showroom, but raining now dunno can test drive anot »

Hehe that depends. Last time I test drive a certain local car, halfway rain the SA ask me u turn balik showroom

Anything u want me to check while ayam there?

Ok I intend to check that as well.

Just make it stop raining already!

Jz came back from test drive with valence. The meter cluster light confirm is switched on with the headlamp, and the mysterious knob next to the side mirror controls are to adjust the headlamp leveling. We confirmed that when the SA placed a cardboard in front of the headlamp and we saw the lights reflected on the board moving up and down, as well as the motor sound from the mechanism.

I was surprised a car in this segment and at this price came with that feature, actually

Anyway, the test drive was brief, but I can say the power is adequate but the engine sound is almost as loud as the viva inside the cabin. The bodyroll was quite noticable, not helped by the fact that the seats are almost as flat as the Myvi. My butt literally slided to the right when making a medium speed left turn.

Other than that it is a solid little car with comfortable seating position compared to the Myvi and the real plus point is probably the FC. There is nothig that screams you must buy this over the Myvi, it all boils down to your personal preference. For me, the Mirage will be more successful in its role as a city car than the Myvi.

Hmm...when the headlamp was not on the meter cluster was not lit at all, it only become lit when I switch on the headlamp. As for the headlamp leveling, I dunno which number is what, I only know if you roll it up the headlamp level with move up

Dont get me wrong its not a terrible car, its a good alternative, if more expensive alternative, to the Myvi. Like I said, it all boils down to personal preference, the are plus and minus points between both cars. Personally, I prefer the Mirage as a small city if only for the CVT just add some bars and wider tires and we get an annoying little bugger zigzagging through traffic. It is surprisingly spacious too!

Didnt have a chance to cruise it as it was an industrial area and it was a very brief drive.

But he claim can last 100k km lar.

Vvt only on intake valves.

It s quite spacious in terms of legroom. But not as wide as Myvi and less headroom. But overall I think it is bigger than viva.
