    An Incredible Deal on Windshield Wipers!

    They were $9.99 a pair when I ordered mine - I see the price has now gone up to $12.99, which is the best price I could find for a single 12 inch wiper for the rear window Don

    An Incredible Deal on Windshield Wipers!

    I bought a set of these and was so impressed with them that I ordered 3 more sets https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096P3XGJB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Decent wipers are usually $15 to $20 each and here you get both the 24 and the 20 together for only $10 . . . . and...

    Selling nice 2012 MiEV.... Cheap

    Impractical? I guess that depends on your personal definition . . . . and maybe where you live - No doubt things are more expensive in California than where I live My wife and I (family of two) have 5 cars, three iMiEV's, a Ford Transit Connect Van and a Chevy Volt (along with a Sprinter...

    What tire would you recommend?

    They like the 165/60R15's on the front which gives them 'safe understeer' - I like my 175/55R15's for no noticeable understeer at all 8-) Don

    Replacement wheel covers?

    That didn't lead to very much Please Note: There are no vehicle specific wheel covers available for your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Please view our selection of universal fit products below. . . . . and then they show you a long list of universal wheel covers, all of which are for 14 inch...

    Glass for my 2012 imiev?

    I suspect a used one from a wrecking yard may be your best bet. You could probably buy a whole door for much less than the $600 price you mentioned Don

    Battery Replacement Under Warranty, New Warranty Time

    Once you come to understand how the estimated range remaining (RR) meter works, it will be lots more useful for you and you'll trust it more - The changes you're seeing are there for a good reason The RR meter computes your remaining range by tracking what has happened over the last 15 miles...

    Battery Replacement Under Warranty, New Warranty Time

    I suspect your range probably will increase gradually as you drain and recharge your 'new' battery dozens of times over the next several months. The car will eventually figure out that the new battery is 'bigger' (more amp hours) . . . . I think. That is, assuming you actually did get a brand...

    U1r battery replacement

    I have AGM batteries from first generation Mazda Miatas (1990 - 1997) in all my iMiEV's. They're the same length and width and the terminals are the same, but they're a little shorter, so I put a block of wood under them and the factory battery mounting apparatus works just fine. They cost...

    Clock spring for cruise control buttons in the steering wheel

    No North American model iMiEV came from the factory with cruise control nor with a steering wheel with buttons for cruse, did they? What makes you think that a clockspring from a USA iMiEV will work for you? I would *think* that what you really need is the clockspring from the Mitsubishi model...

    Battery Replacement Under Warranty, New Warranty Time

    As Joe said earlier - It really helps to know where you live Since you have a 2009, that means you're not in North America, so you only had an 8 year battery warranty and that expired in 2017 or 2018, depending on when the car was sold new. North America cars came with an 8 year warranty...

    Going to be selling 2012 i-MiEV SE w/CHAdeMO

    SE or SE Premium with Nav?? No SE came with DCQC and it wasn't an option. if you have it, that probably means you have an SE Premium and not an SE. If I was close enough, I would buy your car for $6K - Pretty good deal, IMO Don

    2012 I-Miev available in the Bay Area

    For a 2012 in decent shape with only 22K on it that you're having trouble giving away for $4K, I would be finding any excuse I could to just keep it. He'll be 16 before you know it and you'll be out shopping for another car if you let this one go Don

    What tire would you recommend?

    I'm actually quite surprised that a major tire store like Les Schwab would install any tire of a different size than the ones called for on the door jamb sticker - Most will refuse to do that for legal liability reasons If you're not going to use the stock tire sizes, you've got to be very...

    Selling nice 2012 MiEV.... Cheap

    The ES was the bottom of the three models offered for 2012. Next up was the SE with alloy wheels and driving lights and the top of the line is the SE Premium, with Nav, standard quick charge & all the goodies Wish I was closer - For $500, I would have bought it yesterday! Don

    What tire would you recommend?

    I have the Continental EcoContacts on my personal iMiEV (but in different sizes) and I really like them. They are quiet, grippy, much better in the rain than the Dunlops and they're long wearing. I didn't know they made them in iMiEV sizes. I think you'd probably be pretty happy with them Don

    Range extender !

    . . . . and the technology in the 2016 and newer Volts is simply amazing. It's a luxurious 3,500 pound car which can go 70 miles on battery power and another 350 miles on an 8 gallon fuel tank, averaging nearly 45 mpg at reasonable freeway speeds. The blending of battery and Gas power is what...

    Level One Charger Won't Charge

    Not sure what's happening here, but problems with the 2012 OEM Panasonic EVSE's are pretty rare. If it's the original and hasn't been modified, it should be an 8 amp only unit and that shouldn't have been able to replace 15 miles of charge in only 45 minutes - The OEM 8 amp units are...

    Accessorizing on the cheap!

    Never thought about updating the maps in either of our 2012's - Mostly because they are local cars for us and we never go more than 35 miles from home . . . . and I know those roads better than any map update! Sounds like you found a great car and at a really good price, which is pretty easy...
