And this Drive review.. guy is a bit "off" but not too bad. They really should have taken his jokes out.

From Green Car Reports:

While this isn't the only source, it still shows the iMIEV is still the best bang for the buck; not sure I liked the comments though.
 
Comparing apples to oranges, no reflection of the iMiev's much lower purchase price, etc.:

Here's a new post from Inside EV focusing on the Toyota Mirai, but showing a number electric cars in a race including our 'Miev. I enjoyed it even though it appeared that we were not the fastest on the track:

Ugh- 37 seconds behind the next car seems an eternity in racing, but from another angle, the i-MiEV only took 2% more elapsed time than the LEAF!
 
What is that noise at 5:30-5:45 when inside the Mirai? Under full throttle, you can hear something in the video that disappears shortly after he lifts off the throttle, then comes back as he gets back on the throttle. Sounds like the Prius in Gran Turismo 5. It's not electric motor or gearbox noise as it stays pretty flat, but sounds more like an ICE with a CVT transmission.

It must rain in Japan a lot. All of these EV races I've seen run in the rain.
