I just bought a used 2012 imiev ES in silver and I love it! It's a lot of fun to drive around, especially in the city (easy to park, etc.). It only has 2100 miles on it so it's like new and the price was great too. Usually I like to get all the options I can so I don't have to add things later but, I love the simplicity of this car. Great big knobs for the ventilation and radio (I listen to FM radio anyway) and easy to read dash. I love the hand brake. For a base model there's quite a bit of amenities here (AC, power windows, remote mirrors, AM/FM radio and CD player, usb charge port and even a vanity mirror. It wasn't that long ago this would be considered "fully loaded" for the average car. I find the car quite comfortable and the view nearly SUV like - maybe like a mini SUV?
Interestingly this car has a little rust underneath on the suspension parts - not too bad but that tells me it saw shipped to Northern California from the snow country somewhere. I'm guessing it was easier to sell here? Also, the air bag light is on. I have no idea why a car with only 2100 miles would have that but I'll have to have that looked at (no deployed air bags etc). Hopefully it's something that just needs to be reset.
When I figure out how to post pictures I'll put one up!
