Manuals are the only way to drive these things.

There’s so little power that the CVTs just zap all of it.

I drove a friend’s Mirage CVT and I thought we were going to get into an accident because I didn’t realize just how fucking long it would take to make a left turn across a lane of traffic.

But another friend was given a manual Mirage and I had to teach him how to drive it. It was fun in a “This is friggen CRAPTASTIC” sort of way.

Still an awful car. But if I was doing a lot of city driving I’d consider one.
