MSN Cars test drive of the Mitsubishi I Car

[starlandliu]

Something that supercars can never catch up with the i - fuel consumption of 16km/l or more. And its small size making it so much easier to park anywhere you want.

tell me what are RWD,AWD,4WD and FWD means?

[starlandliu]

RWD = Rear-wheel drive

AWD = All-wheel drive

4WD = Four-wheel drive

FWD = Front-wheel drive

[Masrider555]

i know but what so diffence about WD?

[starlandliu]

Lots to explain. Search wikipedia.

[Masrider555]

ok,just tell me RWD better or AWD?

[starlandliu]

Both are good. Depends on whether you are a drift type or circuit type. RWD is the best for drift.

[Masrider555]

what about handling and speed?

[starlandliu]

AWD is better in handling. Speed? Both are the same.

[Masrider555]

oh... i see,theres one malaysia reply just take a look

[starlandliu]

A little too futuristic? Well, one may mistaken a red Mit.i for a Ferrrari!!!

[Masrider555]

this car is not the stports car anyway but maybe student can test to drive it.

[starlandliu]

It has the gene of a supercar - RWD, rear-mounted engine, complex suspension system only found in Ferrari, futuristic design and so on. Just that it is not as fast as a supercar and don't handle perfectly well.

[Masrider555]

but i think the handling shuold be better.

[starlandliu]

Its handling can be improved with stabilizer bars. If the i is lowered down by 2cm or more, it can handle like a supercar and drift around with its RWD configuration.

I have one of these, in this colour in fact. It's a fantastic little runaround, smooth, economical and funky looking. Totrally recommended!

They need to make a left hand drive version and bring it to the US!
