That car is like a fit, trim gentleman wearing a killer, sleek tuxedo.

Holy overhangs, Batman.

What the hell is going on there.

An Exrahtee?

That car looks ashamed.

What do you call a 4-door Yugo? WEGO! /badumtish

Ha! I'm not justifying a purchase. I'm talking about the attributes of this little car. Who the hell do you think you are, kid?

Funny to read that about Nissan. Their current styling is rather odd-looking...

I had the opportunity to see up close one of Villeneuve's Ferraris just like the one in the photo. To be honest, beautiful machine, but it was an aluminum and fiberglass deathbringer. Flimsy, thin. Truly scary to imagine driving that thing at high speed.

You're right about the Cooper. But I don't imply that the Mirage is similar to the Cooper. The Mirage is not sporty, definitely. But being so light gives it a good character, it just feels different, almost retro in a good way. Again, it's the kind of slow-ish car that you can drive the wheels off every day in your…

A DeTomaso Mangusta. So low and so sexy. Just like this one, color and all.

There's inherent sportiness in lightness and simplicity. Example: The original Mini.

Go Mango is the correct name.

Do you really think the 2CV had any real "style" when it came out? It's like people complaining about the modern GTO.

C'mon bro.

Odd. There's no "Sport" mode setting on any Mirage...

Sounds silly, but hell—I hate how most current cars have pillars fit for a bridge and squinty windows. Ugh. I also might be revealing my age.

Man, cars have gotten huge. A few months ago I saw an 80's Saab 900 parked by a modern Honda Civic. They're the same size. The same size! Blew my mind.

Space for four people (I have a family), reliability, safety, economy. One of my plans for next year is to get a 1st generation Miata and have it as my old-car tinkering toy.

You'd be surprised. The Mirage is more comfortable than the Fiesta, which looks great but feels very claustrophobic. The Mirage is airy and bright inside. And the front overhang is such that the nose is out there, somewhere. Not a bad car at all, the Fiesta, definitely not.
