I haven't found any issue with the present plastic.
Unlike my first 2004 Xtrail where you only had to touch the plastic and it would scratch.

I am a bit wary of bio-plastics. I know my Escape's dash is supposed to be made with a "greener" plastic, but I always noted that it had a slight "tackiness" to it, like the adhesive on a Post-IT pad, but less. Not a big deal, but definitely a dust-attractant.

You should really go and test drive that thing, assuming that you can find a Mitsubishi dealership.

Really has nothing to do with the Mirage... Certainly glad too since it's a POS.

That's a mirage DE (Plain Jane, Top). That's a Suzuki on the bottom lol. ES is the good one.
I'd like this HU in the CX-5, ours sucks...

You say the reason why you want a Mirage is because you want a small car that is cheap to mod and have fun with. Buy a first gen Miata.

I thought OP's original topic regarded a Mazda-Mitsubishi teaming agreement on materials? Now it is a Mirage thread.
