Editorial Review:

Product Description:





Rating: - Gas Saver
When you plug this thing in you are greeted by a beautiful bright screen. The user interface is pretty easy to navigate with the directional keys. Text is large and straight forward.

Once the unit is plugged into your dash's OBD II port it scans all that information into the device in real time. I drive a WRX so this unit plugs underneath your driver steering column. Once the unit is powered it figures out your vehicle's performance. It knows how much you accelerate and brake, then ... Read More

Rating: - A Great Tool for Daily Commuting
I've had my Kiwi for several months now and I'm very pleased with it. It's been a fun, neat and valuable tool for me to experiment with my gas mileage during my boring commutes to and from work. My daily commute ranges between 20-30 minutes and I've been using my Kiwi to determine which route saves me the most time and gas. With the Kiwi I've discovered that my driving behavior plays a tremendous part in my fuel efficiency. I've also been able to discover which routes save the most gas.

Rating: - Won't make much difference, get a smaller car....
If you'll notice the maker and other reviewers say very little about how much this device will actually improve MPG. The basics of efficient driving - reducing speed, accelerating gently (unless you have a hybrid and then that may not apply), and coasting as much as possible when stopping - will make some difference, in my experience perhaps 10%. But you don't need a device to guide you to do those things do you? Well, maybe you do, and then this device will help remind and reward you in a game like ... Read More

Rating: - Kiwi is more than a simple gas saving device!
I have owned a Kiwi when it first came out into the market in June, and I say I am very happy with it. I think Kiwi designer has put in a lot of thoughts into the product. Kiwi is more than a simple gas saving device. Its concept is to bring conscious and responsibility to the driver to be aware of his/her driving habit and to change it to drive more greenly.

I found many useful features builded in with the product. The neatest thing is it reports the cost of each trip for the driver to ... Read More

Rating: - KIWI - hype or useful tool??
A friend had mentioned he had a KIWI and I thought it would be interesting to try it out on a recent road trip. It's marketed as 'fun' so I wondered if it would be helpful in any way. Much to my surprise I found that I adjusted my driving style quite often to keep my 'score' up which meant I was increasing my MPG. It's extremely easy to install, use, read, etc and is 100% portable from vehicle to vehicle. For those who do a lot of driving it would certainly pay for itself in a relatively short amount ...
