Mitsubishi i MiEV

No looking back

A review on: Mitsubishi i MiEV
EVowner

Pros: Don't care about the price of gas, quiet drive is quite relaxing, plenty of leg room for 6'3" owner

Cons: The driving range is a known limitation before purchasing, so it's not a true con in the sence on would be surprised by it.

My wife and I own four other cars and a motorcycle in addition to the i-MiEV.  I usually rotate cars in and out of storage so they all get driven during the year.  That may change now that we have this.  I plan on driving this all year round, including northern Illinois winters.  My drive to work is two miles so this car will easily handle over 90 percent of the driving I...

My two week review with the Volt
My two week review with the Volt

Chevy Volt

Pros: Driving the Volt brought back memories of driving my Camaro. The Volt’s tight steering is like driving a sports car and has a punch to it when you put

Cons: One of the problems I had, on the longer trip home, was the driver’s door. I like to rest my arm on the window ledge or the armrest below the window.

“ My daughter and I picked up our Volt on Friday, February 11th from New York and drove it back 750 miles to Lansing, MI. We drove 60 to 80 mph and even in a snow storm. You would never know that it was an electric car if the engine would not have turn on and back off.   We picked up the car at 2:30 p.m. from Atlantic Chevrolet in Bay Shore on Long Island New York. Our salesman was...” --VoltFanSite

Zap Electric Cars Xebra Electric Sedan

“ I'm a die-hard EV nut, got the bug a long time ago.  My problem is I never had much money or time to devote to building and developing EVs.  That's why Xebra has always been just perfect for me.  I've always liked ZAP's approach of electric bikes, scooters, now motorcycles, cars and trucks.  And I'm proud to say I have come to own many of these since they started in 1994. It's sort of weird...” --zapatista

“This is a very wise invention to operate on air, But why could we not place this motor in our present cars with a few modifications it can be possible, for all garages to convert their customers to compressed air vehicles.” --Tyrkalo

2007 Toyota Prius Base

2007 Toyota Prius Base

“I'm a student based out of SF, and this car is absolutely perfect for both city driving and longer drives back home down the I-5 to Southern California. The primary reason for my purchasing this vehicle was mileage (it's so awesome -- I add about 10 gallons to my car about every two weeks, and I drive a significant amount for a non-commuting student, i.e. I'll put over 12500...” --Lola

2009 Toyota Prius

2009 Toyota Prius

“I have friends with Priuses (Prions?) up to 2007 and all report about the same mileage as our old recycled 2001 model. We get 50 to 55 mpg in the summer, far less in the winter, and average about 43-44 mpg year-round here in the frigid midwest, burning 10% mileage-robbing ethanol. If it's not a plug-in yet, what's the big deal?” --bobdowser

2008 Tesla Roadster

2008 Tesla Roadster

“I haven't sat behind the wheel of a Roadster (with it turned on, anyway) but as a passenger, it's pretty hard to beat.  The acceleration power is down right startling.  When you set up on that petal, hold on to your hat, because it could go flying.  Braking down from high speeds (of course depending on the road) is really quite smooth as well.  The turning radius is tight and driving at normal...” --stins

Mitsubishi i MiEV

Mitsubishi i MiEV

“I had the pleasure of test driving one of the road models of this car in LA during the auto show. It was surprisingly fast and handled very well. I guess the biggest mainstream criticisms are that it's small, expensive (about $40k), has a short range (80-100 miles), and is only available in Japan. Nevertheless, I found the ride appealing and I think it's a great car to be the first entry from a...” --SVOboy

“It is too slow at 25 MPH, I installed an after market motor and controller to go 35MPH which was much better. I have heard of several people haveing charger failures, roof cracking, doors leaking, early battery failures (discover brand),. The interface controll module is very inacurate. It tells the speed, and battery guage. It is one of the parts that has hade a high failure rate, and costs...” --Boppster

2005 Toyota Prius

“I love this car! I commute 130 miles round-trip to work 5 days a week. In 2 1/2 years I've put about 92k miles on it, and it continues to run great. This car has changed the way I drive (in a good way!). I average about 50 miles per gallon. It's stylish, it has zip when I need it, it's roomy and overall is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I recommend it to anyone that asks!...” --cherieb

2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

“I am a realtor. It's customary for realtors to have SUVs or big European cars, and I didn't want to join in that game, so I went looking at hybrids. My Camry is roomy, runs smoothly with good pick-up, and has enough trunk space for my open house signs and all the other 'stuff' that I have to carry around for my work. The Trip Information display helps to visually keep track...” --Aileen
