So, far, I have test driven the Leaf, Volt, original RAV4 EV, and ridden as a passenger in the Tesla Roadster and the Mitsubishi I.
The Mitsubishi is a cute little car. I think of it's shape as "jellybean".
The interior is pretty basic. I was told that the one that I rode in was not what the final "American" version would be. The instrumentation was very plain.
It seems like the biggest selling point of the car was that it was the cheapest. I saw the Mitsubishi the same weekend I saw the Leaf for the first time.
Right away, the Leaf impressed me with its nicely designed interior, comfy seats, longer range, and plenty of passenger space.
There's nothing wrong, per se, with the Mitsubishi, but I don't know how well it will do in the American market.
Add more cup-holders and a colorful dashboard display, and I think it would interest more people.
It does drive "zippy" as many EVs do.
