Hey, I'm going to sell my Jeep and plan to get a small car that gets better
mpg. I test drove many small cars this week and one of them was a 2002
Mirage De Coupe. It had only 17K on it and was a little impressed on how
well it drove compared to the Civics and Corollas that I also drove , but
the did have many more miles on them compared to the Mirage. So looking for
any opinions on them. Any problem areas to look for. What kind of gas milage
are peole getting with the Mirage? Thanks for any help.

I dont have a new mirage (94). However, I get about 36-40 hwy which is
primarily where I drive. I was driving my evo and compared to that the
mirage mileage is awesome. I purchased it with 60k for $1800. Had the timing
belt changed along with some seals and it has been running fine. It is a no
phrils car, there is not any luxury items in this one. Just a daily
driver...

What does it cost to replace the timing belt?

My daughter has a 2000 purchased new for her while in college. It now
has a bit over 30K on it. So far no mechanical problems at all. She
only checked MPG once at my insistence and it was over 30 MPG in
virtually all local driving. For a low end car it seems to be a good
value.

Depends on the vehicle and how long it takes to do. Some modern engines are
very difficult to get at.
Ring your local agent. They should have set costs for doing timing belts for
their various vehicles.
