Choosing the Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Who wants to be a hyper-conformist? No one wants to be that person who has to copy their next-door neighbor on everything they do. Instead, we strives to be different. Maybe it's with your clothes - you dress just a little bit eccentrically so that you can be unique. Or maybe you set yourself apart with your house and design a condo that has rooster weather vanes. Whatever it is, Americans don't always want to simply follow the status quo. The same is true when it comes to buying a new car.

You don't want to simply get what everyone else is getting. You're looking for something different, something new, something unique. Well, look no further than the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. This little car is completely electric - no gas required. It has a sporty, spunky look that's fun and will cost you no gas money. Plus, it's environmentally friendly so you can "be green" and look snazzy while doing it!

Your new car isn't going to be as powerful as, say, a Dodge Ram truck or an Escalade but it will get the job done. It's small size and quick boosts of energy will be enough to send you zipping around town and merging in and out of lanes on the highway. There are three drive modes with the i-MiEV, Eco, D, and B. Eco mode is what most people will use as it's the most similar to other hybrid cars and is the basic mode. D mode is handy for traveling up hills and getting the most oomph out of your car. You can also stick the car in neutral for some coasting, if that's your thing.

The dashboard of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV looks somewhat like the dashboard of a typical gasoline car with one standard, notable deviation. Instead of having a gasoline gauge, the car's electricity gauge will decrease as you run out of charge. It starts out with sixteen bars that will steadily blink out and disappear as you deplete the charge. When you get to five percent remaining, a light will come on to remind you to charge your car. At three percent, your car will start to limp along - a sure sign you should plug in right away.

It's not just the interior and the efficiency of the car that draws the buyers, but also the exterior. This is a car for hip people with its sporty look and sleek lines. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is cute and fun and comes in a variety of colors. One of the more fun colors is a raspberry that is sure to get you those second looks you desire. You can also combine the white and blue colors for a two-toned look that's fun and certainly unique.

Whether you're looking for a functional vehicle or a fashionable vehicle, you won't need to look any further than the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Fully energy efficient and environmentally friendly, this is the car that will make you stand out above the rest.
