D whole key assembly is made out of 2 parts
- ordinary key slotted into d case
- case consisting of alarm/keyless system/immobilizer

From wat I was told during d test drive, d slot is mainly for charging d unit but u can leave d whole thingy in ur pocket or s'where nearby. D key is used when d remote unit's power is too low.

But as a 3 cylinder, pickup is quite good for a 1.2 n tat CVT really keeps d revs to a minimum unlike conventional transmissions. I think it was revving about 2k/rpm around 100kmh. Down side is tat being 1 cylinder short, harsher vibration n engine note is part of its natural characteristic. U can pop d hood n hv a look at d vibration on d top left engine mounting during idling. However I'm very sure some aftermarket sound insulation will on d firewall will help cabin NVH a lot.

Unlike wat some claim tat handling is poor, I'd say it easily feels more assuring to corner compared to P2's best seller. EPS speed-sensitive steering is super light at low speeds and gains weight as speed increases. If d new owner is willing to replace d eco tires wit 1 larger size, I'm very sure it would b even more fun to drive.

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. hmm.gif

If you increase the tyre thread to 175mm wide, your FC will be suffer a bit, since the road surface resistance against the tyre had increased also. sad.gif

Kinda a tradeoff, if you want better handling, your FC will decrease. hmm.gif

At low speed does the CVT come out annoying aeroplane sound?

How does the rubberband effect on the CVT? hmm.gif

my suggestion is get it while its CBU
dnt wait until its CKD

IMO that is unlikely, because at Thailand, the government got a industrial incentive program for manufacturers to make a eco car (aka car with more than 20km/l mileage and low CO2 emission).

That why Mitsubishi able to slash down the price and enter Malaysia. Malaysia also can't tariff much on Mirage since they signed AFTA.

EPS is not an update/upgrade from hydraulic
in fact, for me..its a downgrade
what EPS did is EPS took away the fun factor of driving the car
theres a reason why proton until now dn't want to change to EPS
same as lotus, BMW, mercedes and those super car brand

One of the advantage of EPS had compare to hydraulic system is the EPS is using electric motor to assist us doing the turn instead of hydraulic pump that draws power from engine to operate. So it will improve your fuel efficiency.

Also eliminate the usage of hydraulic hose and hydraulic pump to make the car easier maintaineance.

But only drawback i think is the some of the EPS cannot had the feedback as responsive as a hydraulic one. Which i think this can be properly tuned. hmm.gif

Mitusbishi is using its own patented RISE design and high tensile steel on the mitsubishi mirage, so though the car body is as light as viva, the car is much tougher. icon_idea.gif
