Mitsubishi i MiEV road test
The car is light and nimble, making it feel really quick. Under the bonnet the Mitsubishi has a 660cc turbocharged engine and it has a tiny 57bhp output and only 85Nm of torque, which means it takes around 15 seconds to get from zero to 60mph. But because the car is so nimble it feels quicker than its actual time. With no engine noise you will need to keep an eye on the speedometer so that you do not break any limits.

On the open road the i MiEV buzzes along merrily but if you are taking the Mitsubishi out on country roads then the driver will have to be fully concentrating as you can come up behind other road users unawares. You will need to take a wide berth of cyclists and horse riders as they will not hear your car. Due to the narrow track, the i MiEV can come unsettled by side winds and the narrow wheels make cornering at speed challenging. The Mitsubishi due to its compact shape is quite high-sided and this means that the car suffers from body roll. However, drive the i MiEV in town and you’ll find that the car comes into its own. The soft suspension gives for a good ride and makes negotiating road humps child’s play.
