The rally racing is a very exciting sports event to watch, but it will be more exciting if you have one of these cars. One of the best options is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. For years the Evo and its arch rival the Subaru Impreza slugged it out on the rally circuits before resuming round two on the public roads. In recent years the Mitsubishi/Subaru battle has moved firmly into Mitsubishi’s favour with Subaru’s stylists’ seemingly going blind judging by the exceedingly ugly cars it’s produced.
Well, maybe it seems so harsh to say that the style of Subaru Impreza is ugly. But still, its common people opinion. For racing car enthusiasts, style and performance are not something can be separated. Mitsubishi on the other hand has toned down (ever so slightly) its aggressive styling, made the Evolution one of the best handling cars money can buy and then stuck a price tag on it that undercuts anything that could rival it by at least £40,000.

If you want to try comparing both of the G-Wiz and the i MiEV, you would see there are some significance advantages that this Mitsubishi car has. Here are some examples about it. There’s room for four adults and a decent boot is another vital plus over the G-Wiz. Handling is surprisingly assured despite it being tall and narrow, although having no engine noise takes some getting used to! The best aspect though is that despite only housing 67 horses, the i MiEV has no trouble keeping up with traffic thanks to it having about the same weight as a supermodel. Even when you’re approaching the 87mph top speed on the motorway, you don’t feel exposed as you would in the G-Wiz, where even dual carriageways are a no go area.
So, the fact that the i MiEV is a lot better than the G-Wiz can not be ignored. But of course, you need to compare this electric car with the common cars too. The really crucial fact is the battery charge. Yep, all electric cars fall foul of the reality that you cannot go anywhere near the distance an internal combustion engine will allow you and the i MiEV is no different. Mitsubishi say it’ll cover 100 miles between charges but on a cold, frosty day in Britain you’d be looking at 50 miles tops.

Mitsubishi is known for producing great cars such as the Mitsubishi Shogun and the Lancer Evolution range, but they wouldn’t stop there. It’s a known market rules that innovation is the most important factor to keep the existence of a company. The i MiEV, the new car is small, not aggressively styled, and is battery powered. Have Mitsubishi lost their marbles? The answer is not at all. Despite the car looking like a toy car, the engineering behind it is anything but child’s play.
Some people predicting that cars in the future are using water power or battery power. By making vehicle with this future technology, Mitsubishi is comes forward with high confidence. Mitsubishi have been quietly working on battery powered cars since the mid nineties, and the i MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle) is the fruits of their labour. Even the smallest details appear to have been meticulously designed, with passenger space unimpaired with the batteries underneath the floor (where the fuel tank would normally live) and the motor itself under the rear seats.
