Wow, I LOVE the look of that car! Too bad they didn't make this the follow up to the current i-Miev. That really is nice. I will have to save that image to give me hope that someday we will see cars like this... Very sweet!

I did a google search and found the emergency manual for the i-Miev and they clearly don't want you towing this car with a dolly forwards or backwards. I don't know how the folks pulling it with the RV did it unless they put it on a trailer. Like someone else mentioned here the crazy...

Sorry to resurrect an old topic. Did we ever figure out if the i-Miev can be dolly towed safely? I am trying to think ahead somewhat my plans to transport my EV about 900 miles at some point in the future and I think I would need to use a tow dolly for that purpose with the weight restrictions...

I have been watching the ads for one with a "Flux Capacitor and a 1.21 gigawatt range extender", but haven't seen one yet... :D LOL

I know we all have our own driving circumstances that fit our own needs. Speaking for myself I could certainly use a good highway range of 100-120 miles. From where I live today there are quite a few places that I drive several times a year in the local area that are 60-70 miles in distance...

Thanks guys, not sure where I thought I saw something about a heated wheel. Maybe just mixing up stuff from looking at the Leaf stuff a while ago. I appreciate the feedback.

Does the heated steering wheel come in the ES? Or was that reserved for the SE models in the 2012? I looked to see in Joe's post about the SE vs ES post, but I didn't see any mention of it. So I was curious if that was not available in the ES.

It really is too bad that Mitsubishi is giving up in the US market. The i-Miev has an advantage that the other manufacturers are spending a fortune trying to accomplish which is to reduce the weight of the car. Look at the money BMW is spending on carbon fiber and polymer to try and get the...

Agreed, i-Miev is still based on real first gen technology. I am just surprised that it isn't closer in efficiency given it's weight advantage. Clearly it is time for them to refresh the car. The IONIQ appears to be showing the market what is possible and that maybe you don't need 60kwh...

The Ioniq appears to be knocking it out of the park. Proving you don't need a monster battery to get good daily range. This car appears to be schooling the entire EV market. Honestly what I am shocked by is how inefficient the i-Miev is considering how light it is. It is kind of shocking...

I don't understand the situation with the warranty since the car was never sold to a consumer and does not get reported to carfax like a normal transaction. I guess it doesn't matter, the dealer says the warranty is expired, and I just looked at the carfax again and it also says the warranty...

Thanks Joe. That is what I was wondering about are the maps updates, cost and process. I know they used to be pretty costly before I bought the Garmin with lifetime maps. So it sounds like I am better off just using my Garmin. It is all of these "unseen" costs that add up. I was looking...

Joe, That is a good question about the full warranty. I am emailing them now for clarification on that point. The carfax implies that the car hasn't been titled. So I will ask that question. If that is the case then I think this would be a great candidate and I will want to move quickly on...

They are asking $6k plus dealer handling etc, plus I have to pay shipping. I did pull up the carfax info and that is how I found out the car had not been registered. Also pulled up the VIN to see what the build sheet says for the car. Now it is just the battle of getting someone to answer...

I am in the car buying process and one of the things I am considering is the benefits of the built in navigation system vs bring your own. How does Mitsubishi provide the updates for maps and firmware in the built in systems? Has anyone here done this to keep their navigation systems up to...
