Great find

. I've taken I-210 as a shortcut quite a few times, and thus have passed where Hwy 2 crosses it quite a few times. Just looking at the terrain from I-210 I can imagine that the grade would be a good test for the CVT on the Mirage. I've been to lots of other parts of the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests (Mt. Baldy, Running Springs, and many others), but I don't think I've ever been that far west (around Hwy 2) and have never driven over Cloud Burst Summit. I know that is a ride that some bicycle enthusiasts like to frequesnt. Nice pics.

yea, unless i could get a car that could easily hit 80 mpg i see no reason to even look at another car for gas mileage.

Just to clarify, are you saying if you were buying solely on the purpose of MPG, the Mirage is the car to get?
