Looks like a goofball, but drives like a hot hatch. I happen to also really love the spacious and modern interior. Pairs well with my M3 CS, I take the i3 everywhere I don't want to go with the M3: tight parking lots, places with valet, the grocery store, home depot, walmart, places with awful potholes etc.
Alas, I think 3 i3's is enough and I'm ready for a change. I only wished there was an updated i3 with a new design, and maybe I would be in my 4th. Plus I am no longer commuting, so the need for a commuter is gone. I still want another vehicle option in my garage besides my beater, the M3, and the wife's SUV, just not sure what to go with next.

Thanks for the great feedback. That's more or less what my use for it would be as well. So you'd say they genuinely feel quick off the line?
I was browsing on Autotrader and saw a few 2018 i3S for $18k already. They only had like 23k miles on them too |
Torque is instant and it feels less guilty than my loud screaming M3. What I mean is, no one can hear it, so if I floor it to shoot a gap, it's not as obnoxious as a loud burbling M3 driving like a stereotypical dick bimmer.
