14 New Cars You Should Avoid Buying

5. Mitsubishi i-MiEV

If you think the Mirage is bad, just wait until you hear about Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV electric model. The move to introduce an all-electric car could be considered a smart move for Mitsubishi. After all, the electric car segment is promising. But if you want to sell cars, you have to offer something substantial to car buyers and Mitsubishi failed to do that.

The i-MiEV is painfully slow to recharge because it takes between seven and 21 hours to fully recharge the batteries. This is forever compared to other electric cars on the market. And when you recharge the battery, the drive is terrible. Also, the interior is outdated, cramped and unattractive. The car in general is primitive, clumsy and sluggish.

In comparison to other electric cars in its class, like the Nissan Leaf, the i-MiEV looks like an unfinished prototype. On the other hand, this is an electric car you can buy for just $22,995. This makes it one of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market. But even value is not enough to give this little Mitsubishi positive reviews.
