I never used to back in to park, but since I got the i-Miev that has changed! Now I almost always back in to my driveway and to public charging spots. Why? Because the charging port on this car is toward the rear so it reaches much easier if I back in. I've quickly gotten used to it, and now it...

I suspect it's by design that the car disables ASC and traction control when it detects a significantly higher or lower draw on the rear lights - this is how it can tell you must be pulling a trailer that has lights on it, and therefore for safety the traction control is shut off - I'm pretty...

I hope you don't mind me comparing another vehicle - if I've broken any rules, sorry.... but since my review is favorable to the iMiev I figured maybe you wouldn't mind ;) Having owned a 2011 Nissan Leaf for 3 years, and having had my new iMiev for 3 months now and counting, I think I'm...

My first EV was a 2011 Nissan Leaf, which I had for 3 years. Three months ago, I traded it in for my new iMiev, and I'm never going to back to a Nissan! Trust me, with the exception of its shorter range and less cargo space, in most every other aspect the iMiev is hands-down the better vehicle...

PV1: I was just reading about CANiON. Hadn't realized it also shows energy usage now - this sounds very useful. I'll have to either upgrade my phone first (it's running Android 2.3) or get a new Android device. I was thinking of ordering a new GPS stereo unit which runs Android 4 - this would be...

If that's the case, then the i_MiEV also has a much better SOC meter than the Leaf's. In the Leaf, the SOC meter still shows all bars lit up on a full charge even after significant capacity loss, which means each bar now has fewer miles. I much prefer the i_MiEV's way of displaying it (assuming...

I was going by what was said in the news release, "Comfort and convenience features included on every Mitsubishi i-MiEV include a specially-designed highly energy-efficient HVAC system consisting of an electric manual air conditioner with micron filter and an electric compressor cabin heater" -...

My understanding is the 2014 model has an actual heat pump to serve as heater and air conditioner. Brilliant idea, and should use a lot less energy than resistive heating! So how does the temperature knob work? Does it actually adjust the settings of the heat pump, or does it simply combine hot...
