Excellent fuel economy and cheap insurance.

On the road
Driving
Holds the road well. Excellent gear change and reponsive steering.
Performance
89bhp is questionable - feels more. Smooth power delivery and nippier than the insurance group suggests.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Generally good, but some niggling faults.
Image
Underrated - Mirage looks very sporty, especially with uprated wheels. Puts many other GTis in the shade.
Comfort
Bit bumpy, though well supported seats.
-
Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, but no alarm.
Service
Expensive parts from dealers. Unwilling to offer information on servicing.
