Have a look at our latest service vehicle and customer loan car, the all newly imported Mitsubishi i (MIVEC). These i cars are revolutionary in their feature packed design and amazing running costs; just 8 cents per kilometre to run….. yes amazing economy, a conscious car for the environment, and best of all it has great performance figures not just as a city runabout, but also as a long drive option. The i Mivec is a 660cc petrol engine, so you get the best of both worlds, great economy with conservative petrol technology. Electric doesn’t seem like such a smart option, especially in major cities and metro areas like Perth Western Australia, commuting one way and needing a recharge is  a painful option after a while, unfortunately these electric cars do not have long distance options, petrol on the other hand is simple and convenient.

We have many colour options and specs in stock now. Starting from $17,990; we are also offering free 12 months service on any vehicle purchased up to the end of 2011.

We employed our graphic sign designers GT Graphics to lay the standard Fabcar Racing livery to our very own i.

“Hot News”

After a long wait – its now official Fabcar has Mitsubishi I models available for immediate delivery.

The Mitsubishi i is a kei car from Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors, first released in January 2006,[1] twenty eight months after its debut at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] It is the first four door automobile since the 1960s to employ a “rear midship” setup with the engine behind the passengers, in an attempt to improve safety and interior space without enlarging the overall exterior.[1][3]

The innovative layout and styling of the i proved an immediate critical and commercial success, exceeding Mitsubishi’s initial sales targets by 20 percent and winning thirteen awards in its first year.[4][5] Although designed with the Japanese keijidōsha light automobile class in mind, the attention it generated led to its subsequent introduction in right hand drive markets in Asia, Oceania and Europe. It is also used as a basis of the 2009 i-MiEV battery electric vehicle.
