| General comments? | I got my mirage when it only had 30,000 miles on it back in 1997. It now has like 120,000. I like the way the interior feels. It doesn't feel like a tin can. The engine runs hot though, and I have to add oil weekly. The engine also shakes badly and makes the car vibrate terribly. It is also leaking oil from somewhere near the oil pump. Another bad thing about this car is the paint job. It started peeling in places and now the whole car looks like crap. The peeling started when the car only had about 50,000 miles on it and was not the result of anything I'd done. The other thing that is bothersome is that it is difficult to roll up the driver's side window. I've even had to replace the window mechanism twice since getting the car--that's about $200 a pop. The mechanic told me that he'd seen more than one mirage come in with that problem. It's definitely time to get a new car. The engine is running so hot and so rough that I fear it's going to blow up on me. I'm embarrassed by the peeling paint, since it makes the car look dirty and older than what it is. I've been pretty good to the car, but I have not maintained it perfectly, I'll admit. The main things I've neglected have been cosmetic--for instance, the paint job. I've been in graduate school so $$ has been tight. This car should be in better shape than what it is, in my opinion. For the wear it has taken, it is looking and acting more beat up than it should. I will not buy another mirage. | |
