I compared the power to weight ratio of some small cars considering curb weight only plus two 70 Kg passengers.
Ito kasi ang common driving configuration ko araw araw. Here are the number of Kilograms that each horse in these cars carry.
All automatics kasi gurang na ako at gusto ko hhwd (holding hands while driving).

Mirage 1.2 CVT = 12.8 Kg per horse (Kg/hp)
Vios 1.3 G AT = 13.4 Kg per horse
Accent 1.4 AT = 11.8 Kg bawat kabayo
Picanto 1.0 EX AT = 14.7 Kg/hp

Mirage is pretty good.
Although the numbers of the slightly bigger displacement Accent really impresses me.
Vios horses carry more load than Mirage horses.

I just wonder how a drop in K&N filter plus Petron Blaze 100 helps in adding more horses without voiding the 5yr warranty.

pwede naman yan drop-in. just revert back to stock air filter upon having the Mirage serviced at CASA. for the Petron Blaze 100, I don't think na makakaaffect yan sa HP. very very little kung meron man.

yes, the mirage is light. and the engine is right for its size. the paper specs does not always translate on how the vehicle feels to drive. for example, the vios has good low-end power where you can gauge the car accelerating from stop, which is useful for stop and go traffic. while the Mirage feels "Pigil" upon accelerating from a complete stop. that is why I also want to test the Mirage M/T out of curiosity. baka naman its the CVT that causes the slow response. not to metion the sliding clutch feeling at high RPMs.
