my input...

1. Mirage GLS fully featured but not opted by TS. 673k
- longer wheelbase.
- bigger trunk space.
- higher ground clearance.
- more fuel efficient.
- split rear folding seats....more space
- 15x5 wheels
- gps navigation
- side impact beams

2. Honda Brio S AT cheaper than above. 650k, nothing of the above.

Hi Obsessed, I was in the same shoe last year. I was also looking for a second car that I can use for the regular home-office-home route. It took me 2-3 months of research, lurking and test driving before I finally decided to get a Mirage GLS/MT. Never regretted my choice..

Things I considered before the purchase:

1. Aesthetics - This was actually my top priority (yes, I know I'm shallow haha). If I'm gonna drive a small car, might as well be a small "pogi" car. After almost a year using my Mirage, hindi pa din ako nagsasawa sa itsura nya. I only had to change the mags and tires into wider and "sportier" ones. ;)

2. Fuel Efficiency - I think this is one of Mirage's main selling point. 'Nuff said :P

3. Power - Its 1.2 engine is superior compared to 1.0 of my other choices at that time. I'm usually a "spirited" driver, and i swift through SLEX every day. From 0-2K RPM is average, but the fun starts once you go beyond 2k RPM.

4. Handling - This is the lightest steering wheel I've ever driven. And the clutch (I chose MT since my other vehicle is already an AT, I like variety), is the softest I've driven. It's true when people say Mirage is fun to drive. Does not give much stress even in heavy traffic.

5. Tech - Not really a big deal. But for its price, it kinda adds a premium feel while driving.
