Used Mitsubishi i (2007 - 2012) Review Review by David Ross on 30 Aug 2007 Last Updated: 25 May 2011 3.5 You can be forgiven for thinking at first glance that the Mitsubishi i is in fact a Smart car. You wouldn't be far off, as the two cars have more in common than just their looks. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Cheap to run, low environmental impact, doddle to park, great fun in town Just one engine choice, unusual styling, uncomfortable on longer journeys New price range: £9,504 - £32,045 Used price range: £1,071 - £4,992 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 3.5 out of 5 You can be forgiven for thinking at first glance that the Mitsubishi i is in fact a Smart car. You wouldn't be far off, as the two cars have more in common than just their looks. Despite being developed independently of each other, they have similar-size engines, cheeky styling and dinky dimensions. The key difference is that the i is a four-seater, where as the Smart Fortwo is strictly just for two.Just one engine is available and performance is modest but for those that live in the city, the unusually named i is a good choice - nippy, easy to park, cheap to own and fun.
