has taken pains with quality. There's not much wind noise, and very little
road noise filters up through the suspension components.
Like all cars, a variety of sound systems are available for the Mirage.
They range from a basic AM/FM radio, to radio/cassette or radio/CD combinations.
All of the sound systems we sampled were more than adequate and excelled
in ease of deciphering how to operate. This was also true of heat and ventilation
controls, as well as other functions on the dash.
A word of caution here. If bottom line cost is a major issue--and it
usually is in this class--weigh your option selections carefully; the extras
can add up quickly.
So what interior upgrades or options really matter? Since modern car
marketing has options grouped by packages, it makes little sense to list
individual options.
Suffice it to say that most of the amenities which add to the cost of
the car will also add to its value later on as a resale.
Some specific items (which are part of packages) we feel add significantly
to the liveability of the Mirage are the tilt steering wheel, the 60/40
split-folding rear seatback (to expand cargo capacity), and power door
locks. All of these items are part of an option group that also includes
power windows and remote adjusting mirrors. Next Page
