Professional Reviews

• “The i isn't as quick off the line as the Leaf, though it does pick up the pace notably after passing 20 mph. The braking feels pretty good overall, but not as natural as the Leaf's, which itself doesn't quite match a regular car.” — Cars.com
• “I wasn't impressed with the i's handling. It tends to wander at highway speeds, even in the absence of crosswinds. There's not much steering feedback, either, which is especially disappointing in the only rear-wheel-drive EV.” — Cars.com
• “...the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf we own are nothing like the dinky, glorified golf carts people tend to envision when they think of electric cars. Far from it, in fact. The i, on the other hand - it's no golf cart, but it definitely feels dinkier and less refined. ” — Cars.com
• “As with most electric powertrains, acceleration is very good as peak torque is available on command from a dead stop. ” — Automobile
• “...the 2012 Mitsubishi i [is] a subcompact that Mitsubishi is positioning as the value-priced choice for an all-electric car. ” — Edmunds.com
